Generally, I recommend it for one-day trips. The manufacturer provides an expiration year, but the product will certainly be suitable for consumption even for up to 3 years if stored under proper conditions.

A ration designed with the military in mind is also great for tourism or games like ASG. The Half Day version, intended for half a day, may even be enough for a full day. All the ingredients are fresh and tasty. The main dish can be easily heated using the included chemical heater or over a campfire. I sincerely recommend this product and the store.

This ration was created with soldiers in mind for half a day, but if someone isn't very active, it may even be enough for a whole day. It's much cheaper than well-known brands like Tactical Foodpack or Drytech. The set includes a bag and a water purification tablet, which can be very useful in combat or survival conditions. I definitely recommend this product and the store Militaria.pl.

The half-day set is perfect for intense physical effort, but for a regular trip it lasts all day. The meals are fresh, nutritious, and very good, and the extras are well chosen and of high quality. I really enjoyed the coffee with condensed milk. I definitely recommend Arpol products and the Militaria pl store.

The price to quality ratio is appropriate. The set contains a lot of extras: three types of drinks, candies, chocolates, as well as matches and a bag with a tablet for purifying a liter of water. I ate the main dish almost cold – the chemical heater was very hot, but 10 minutes is not enough to heat the meal well at a low temperature. You need to heat the food as long as possible, because lukewarm doesn't taste the best.

The main dish is not very flavorful – I recommend adding extra spices. Cooking takes longer than stated in the description. The other elements are as described. The water disinfection bag can be reused.

Delicious food ration, perfect for an all-day trip.
-
Everything's fine and as described. It's enough for a whole day in the mountains. The only drawback is the bland taste and the main dish - it could use more sauce to be less dry. I recommend it.
-
Product as described. Very good quality and surprisingly tasty. Heating time is longer than 10 minutes. The price could be a bit lower, but nevertheless I recommend it – tested with my dad.

Ideal for trips, the food is very tasty. I recommend it.

The price matches the quality. There are a lot of extras for this type of ration – there are three types of drinks, candies, chocolates, and more. There were even matches and a bag with a tablet for purifying 1L of water. I had to eat the main dish almost cold, because even though the chemical heater was very hot, 10 minutes was not enough to heat the food, especially in near-zero temperatures. It's worth heating the food as long as possible, because lukewarm doesn’t taste good.

I bought this set for a mountain expedition. It was a good choice, worth buying! I recommend it.
