I used to describe Steve as this crazy guy on KZread that eats old food. But now I've come to realize, Steve is a historian. Possibly one of the most prolific historians of military rations of our time. I think future students will go back and watch these videos to learn about military rations once you and I are long gone.

Historian here! Perhaps Steve's videos could be seen as a form of experimental archeology, a type of research where archeologists use historical artifacts for their intended purpose in order to confirm or disprove hypotheses. Steve also tests hypotheses, such as 'is the vomelet really that bad?'. He does not fully replicate the original context though :)

You might think that he's wasting these rations by opening them and consuming them, so no-one else can, but he's documenting them so well and describing them so informatively, that everyone benefits. He really should write a few books about the topic, he's got plenty of source material. I'd pre-order a copy of that!

I guarantee that radio kit has never been filmed even partially anywhere on KZread before, and Steve was able to get the whole kit on film! What a documented Time Capsule!

The glucose and sucrose in the candy also combats shock and hypothermia and reduces shivering. The act of chewing will help keep you awake, which is good for people on watch at night in a raft and it helps keep your mouth wet with saliva which is beneficial for comfort. It’s a shame that they are no longer carried in liferaft/boat survival rations. I pack a bag of individually wrapped candies (jolly ranchers or lifesavers) in every lifeboat I work with and in my personal survival kit.

I don't want to speak ill of others, but I'll just say your main draw is how much more detail, history, and food science you discuss in your videos over simply opening a ration and going "wow so cool" over every thing inside. This extra detail helps us understand the history, reason for the rations development, and how it might be used. We even get a human connection when we see all the little comfort items, or messages of encouragement a ration sometimes provides (like emergency rations). As always, NICE!

In 2017 I was suffering from insomnia and somewhat of a mild depression. Every day and night I was frantically searching and hoping to find the song or the video that will get me to sleep or calm my thoughts down enough just to get a 5 minute blackout, but to no effect. Until I found Steve with his voice and amazing content. First night I blacked in and out multiple times during a couple of videos until I fell asleep for a couple of hours. The rest of the days and nights, well I dont need to say it because I watched since then almost all his videos and remained a loyal subscriber and hardcore fan. In the past week I had trouble sleeping again, and as always Steve's videos came in handy! Tx Steve !!

I’m from the UK and a lot of these components I’ve never even heard of before. Compressed food bars, sounds like something from a sci-fi movie. I worked in a nursing home for a short while and looked after an airforce lad from world war 2, it was quite the privilege to hear his story and I can tell he needed to tell it. It’s sad not many people are willing to listen, it’s all very well watching a documentary but when you have someone who was actually there, wow gold dust!

This guy is contributing so much to history by documenting these meals and food items people would eat during the war when the internet was not even a word. For generations to come to witness these things on video.

It makes sense, though. Proteins and fats require water and calories to break them down, and then MORE water to excrete them successfully through your kidneys. Pure sugar candies provide the exact kind of "empty" calories you want when you're trying not to shut down your kidneys in a severe dehydration scenario. They also give you something to do with your mouth aside from fantasizing about fish or seagull blood.

That radio kit was an absolute treat to see. I love seeing items that represent fundamental stepping stones in technology. Wild to think we can now just use a satellite phone with built in encryption to recover a life raft.

It's always mind blowing to see 80 year old rations that are so well preserved.

@msvitles

They put more effort into preserving them at that time than they do for our food today. Less chemical additives, so they had to compensate by making the containers environmentally sound. Notice how they reinforced the seams of the cans with extra paint, maybe two or three layers to seal over the welds as well as needing a can opener of some type, instead of the pop-tops of so many of today's aluminum cans, that can be easily punctured or eroded and dent so easily.

The Gibson Girl was a beast. Cranked a SOS T T T signal on around 500kHz. There was a push button for hand sent CW for those who could. The frequency, which was chosen in the days of Marconi, became the first international distress signal frequency. It was monitored by ships at sea & coast marine telegraph stations until just a few years ago. Supposedly it is illegal to fire those beasts up ‘cause of the ‘automated’ SOS sent by turning the crank. Quite the find.

Hey Steve, loved the video! Thought I would share something interesting you might wanna know. A lot of the lettering on the front of the gibson girls ( 45:25 ) was painted with UnDark Radium radioluminscent paint. I learned this when walking around a maker faire with a survey meter, and the local historical radio society had one on display. They were unaware of the radium. I haven't seen it well documented, but since its exposed its easily flaked off which could lead to accidental ingestion. My personal suggestion to the society was an application of some sort of varnish or nail polish to help seal it. Great video as always, love your content.

Love the careful presentation of the candies on the tray, aesthetically pleasing, symmetrical, that's the kind of professionalism we've come to expect from Steve.

Seeing the survival rations alongside the technology such as the kite and radio made this one of my favorite videos you have made so far!

An hour of Steve after a day that kicked my ass and a night in which I was told that my uncle was in the ER as a result of a probable stroke is just what the doctor ordered. Watching these videos reminds me of when I first got into military rations back in high school, and I asked my parents for a case of MREs for Christmas my senior year. I cracked a couple of them open with the uncle who is in the hospital right now, and given that he eats pretty much whatever you put in front of him, he shared in my enjoyment of them. He especially liked the Mexican Style Chicken Stew, which is also my favorite. Anyway, Steve, if you’re reading this, you’re awesome. Your videos have been a mainstay of my KZread feed for six years now, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. Thank you. UPDATE: Thank you for your kind words everyone.

Steve! Great work man, I love the quality every time that you put a video out like this. I can tell how much passion goes into these vids. It’s highly commendable

That radio has such an incredible design, a real work of art beyond its function.

Another great vid. History with Steve. Always learning something new, awesome to see older rations. That are long forgotten, brought back into the light. Who doesn't love Charms, pack of those would look good in my collection.

Been about 5 years since I first started watching, thank you for all the content Steve

Loving it. More MREs please

nice!

Super cool you visually show and explain why basic carbs are the best in a situation like being stuck on a raft. For how little food there is to actually try I'd say it's probably one of my favorite episodes you've made so far.

One of the most unique, fascinating videos I have had the pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for showing us the radio kit, and the demonstration of water and carbs vs. fat vs. protein. It was really cool to learn so much about these things. This extra long video must have taken a long time to make but it was worth the effort. Thank you again.

In the late 80s, in my civilian life boat survival school training, they taught us to NOT eat raw fish unless you had plenty of water to drink because it took more water to process it than you got from eating it. However, their explanation was just that - so thanks for the more detailed explanation! Are there any records of the liferaft kit being used by a crew that was rescued or is it more of a "give you hope" thing that never really worked.

Cool, so this is what my grandpa and grand uncles had back then... I'm glad Steve is more active, and this time with a treat. An hour long of his chill review. :)

So glad to see the new uploads, i hope they are gonna continue. very interesting to see these, i love how you set each MRE so perfectly everytime. give nice info about every one. still to this day, i have not had the pleasure of trying an MRE,

I love what you do too bring these times back to us in such a meaningful way - food brings you home.

I wonder if Steve would appear on Tasting History, if Max cooked up a ration menu using old ingredients lists from decayed cans & Steve brought along the components that survived. Making a complete ration menu to review. That would be, nice.

Anything is possible, but since Max is a west coastie and Steve lives in Florida, it's pretty unlikely...

@@furrymessiah Max does some travel vids here and there. I'm sure he could hop over to Florida. Imagine Steve getting to eat a freshly cooked version of one of those rust bucket cans of fossilized stew. Served in a reproduction can by Steve's repro friend!

Max was recently on a Babish video recently(he’s in NY). That was awesome to see and with Babish having shouted out Steve in the past I wish I could see the 3 of them in a video one day!

This is an unbelievable delve into not just survival food, but tools for survival used during the war. What an amazing find and fascinating video.
