About our Tactical Foodpack products
Tactical Foodpack meals were originally developed for special forces. Thanks to their high nutritional value and simple preparation, the foodpacks provide a complete meal even under extreme conditions. Due to the special production process in which the dishes are freeze-dried, the meals have a shelf life of several years. During the drying process, water is completely removed from the ingredients without destroying the vitamins and nutrients they contain. Since no preservatives, flavor enhancers, or regulators are added, Tactical Foodpacks impress with their authentic taste.

Preparation
To prepare, tear open the pouch and remove the oxygen absorber. Then, water can be poured into the pouch to prepare the dish for consumption:

Basically, hot water should be poured into the pouch to prepare the dish. More detailed information on the amount of water and waiting time can be found on the back of the respective pouch.

If you do not have access to hot water, you can also easily prepare your dish using the Tactical Heater Bag (sold separately):

1. Take the heating pad out of the large packaging.
2. Remove the heating pad's packaging and place the pad back at the bottom of the Heater Bag packaging.
3. Pour the intended amount of water into the Tactical Foodpack meal and then place the sealed pouch into the Heater Bag (bottom part on the heating pad).
4. Pour approx. 150 ml of water into the Heater Bag (up to the marked line).
5. Quickly close the zip lock of the Heater Bag.
6. The heater reacts within 30 seconds to 3 minutes; the colder the water, the slower the reaction.
7. Let the food sit in the Heater Bag for 15-20 minutes. We recommend stirring the dish after 10 minutes.

Alternatively, Tactical Foodpack products can also be prepared directly over a fire. In an emergency, the dishes can also be prepared and consumed with cold water or even without any water at all.
