The morse code card that he showed is actually a training device to teach yourself morse (or brush up on what you've forgotten). The pilot would then use the morse skills with the signal mirror. I was actually issued an identical looking one in the 1970's at the Naval Academy as part of my initial training kit.

Still one of my favorite smells along with Diesel and coffee 👍

Late to the game but here's something y'all might find interesting! The small fishing knife seen at 37:35 made by imperial knife co caught my attention immediately because the imperial knife factory on King Street in Providence had been left abandoned for a long time until a few years ago (unfortunately they turned it into fancy loft apartments). I was lucky enough to explore the building before it was renovated and there were so many blades and handles left inside, and I'm almost certain I remember seeing handles very similar to the one seen on this fishing knife! If I had known I would have grabbed one while I had the chance 😂 just thought that was kinda wild and wanted to share a cool experience

I have seen many of your videos and the ones with the old rations & kits are probably my favorite ones; they have such varied mixtures of the most efficient and practical things, they really are amazing pieces of, for their time, technologically advanced packages. I'm happy that you're donating these things to a museum, seeing all these items in near pristine condition and knowing that they'll be available for display & education for the public is awesome, again thank you.

I've have one of these complete except for the flare gun. Mine has the other fishing kit and more rations. I'm a vintage survival kit collector as well. On KZread there is a survival film of a navy pilot surviving at sea and land with this kit. It's a two part film about 28-28 minutes long. I also have a complete B2 back pad survival kit attached to the seat chute. With my complete C1 that rascals like 11 pounds. Most pilots put them in a mussete bag which the rigger attached a spare clip that attached to the chute harness. The pacific area saw the most use of these but there are pictures of P38 photo groups that the pilots wore a slimmed down version of the C1. When WWII started for us in 1941 we had really no kits for the flight crews but it's interesting how within the year we started to get some good gear to the guys. Thanks again to Steve for filming this kit, well done. Oh a little trick about old snaps, if it's not corroded use the edge of a knife blade between the male and female part and twist and Bobs your uncle.

Steve if you want to stretch that poncho out, just set it on the toilet and then your shower up on the hottest setting. It will basically rehydrate. The ponchos I wore on a mission once were dry and left in the sun for weeks, this is how we bought them back. Not WWII old but I'm told they are designed to do this.

To be fair, the south Vietnamese were mostly friendly to the US who were there to support their government. The north/south divide in VN long since predates the vietnam war

Thank you for posting this presentation. I am a former Naval Aviator (1985 - 1997), and I never tire of learning the traditions and history of Naval Aviation. I'd never seen this equipment before. Thank you.

19:40 As if these reviews couldn't get any better, there's a calming thunder storm in the background. You just emanate a soothing atmosphere.

I normally watch his videos a little sped up (don't always have the time to invest but want to see everything) but as soon as I heard the thunder I slowed it back down. It's the perfect ambient noise.

He's in Florida, right? Pretty regular there to have lightning and thunder.

The fishing/survival instructions were actually a lot more interesting than I anticipated.

Man opening up a ration with a storm I find that relaxing honestly

My Father still had one when he came home from the war. My brother has it now, but I can remember being a little kid and getting into it as did my brothers. We were so curious to see what our Dad used during the WWII...much of it we lost over the years taking them out and not putting it back. But there was enough for my eldest brother to salvage as a memorial to our Father who fought in the war from beginning until the end. He bore the scars of a true hero on his body. So what little is left of him lives on through us and the memories of that time that he shared with us. I appreciate that you're showing this and taking me back some years to some wonderful childhood memories. Thank you. I just want to add that this kit differs than the one my Father used. Because this one you're showing was for Airmen who used them in case they were shot down. My Dad's was a land survival pack he used during the invasion of Normandy.

A tip for opening old snaps, if you must, use a small pocket knife blade and wedge it between the two buttons. Carefully rock it between the tabs until the pop apart. This allows you to force apart the two snaps without applying pressure to the fabric. I did this to open an old Army first aid kit that had the cloth outer pouch.

Did the Army first aid kit have the syrettes in it or no?

When Steve says he would wrestle a shark rather than starve to death , I believe him .

I really loved this video. Showing the different components in a generational style set up was very useful. The instruction sheets were wicked cool.

How in the BLUE HELL does Steve still get thumbs down? ...Seriously, how do you dislike a guy that is literally doing his own thing for the sake of doing it and the love of global history and is using a platform to share said love with others

1. Steve's a white male, and white males should not have such fabulous channels. 2. "It's military" and so it has no place in our new progressive world. 3. Steve eats old food, and hence takes risks with his health that he should not be able to take without proper licensing. 4. All of the above.

Your personality is half the reason people watch these videos. Along with Matt from demo ranch you’re the only people who’s videos I actually follow. Been watching for a long time and really appreciate all the content and even the way you show as much as you can. You try the foods to see if they’d still work. You even showed a demo of a flare before you donated it. Love it man thanks a ton for the videos.

The history of emergency rations is a facinating topic, very cool.

Wow. That's f'n cool. I love your channel man. Your videos give my step dad (Vietnam War vet), and I (Iraq war vet) something to watch together and bond. Thanks man. I appreciate it.

Haha just as he put it in his mouth at @25:21 there was loud thunder outside, what an incredible kit and the thunderstorm outside just added to it, tropical areas have lot's of thunder so this was added immersion!

I love how jacked he gets reviewing these things. That’s why I watch.

Absolutely amazing to step back in history through these videos. Thanks for all you do Steve!

Perfect! 🤣🤣

Watching an MRE video from Steve while there's a thunderstrom, best combination!

The missing bit on bottom of the match case would be a flint striker, used with the knife blade to make sparks for fire starting. The tin of sunburn cream reminds me of the old tins of Kiwi shoe polish! Just read an article saying Marines have a superstition about Charms being bad luck, so they were often discarded. In 2007 Charms were removed from rations. A similar superstition exists about anything apricot. Weird.

​@@zacharyrollick6169 I'm _90%_ sure they were indeed Strike Anywhere type. You can even ignite them, or at least the civilian kind, with just your thumbnail, by raking the white portion down into the purple _(or red, as more commonly found)._ Gotta press in on hard enough to get it to literally "pop" - the white part has the abrasive mixed in with it, to create the necessary friction/kinetic energy. So yup, pretty damn true to their name! 😅

Man Steve’s voice, the sense of adventure investigating the past and then hearing the thunder rumble in the background is awesome!

To be honest, I like the thunderstorm raging in the background. It added a nice ambiance to the video! Also that flare launcher was so cool.

One of my favorite videos, Steve! Thanks for sharing. Appreciate the care you take when exploring the parts of the kit and for the supplemental material, like the wrapped fishing kit. AND, thank you for slowly filming the instructions and other print materials. It gave an opportunity to read everything. Your appreciation for this historic material is evident. Keep it up!

Imagine steve testing the machete out and giving it a few swings, then he smacks the jacket. xD

I really love the professionalism and enthusiasm put in these videos! And this one is a real gem, thanks Steve!

I agree. Great to read through the manuals. Very nicely written instructions. One can imagine the scenarios that were considered making this survival pack.

Wow man... With the rarity and the good shape this pack is... Man this is museum quality!

Nothing wrong with getting excited about the weirdest stuff, Im just as fascinated with that kit as you are. And the unique smells from 1940's is priceless. So cool to inspect the contents, and think how old this is and how at the time was the latest and greatest to help you survive. and at about the 17:00 mark when you opened up the sunburn ointment and described the smell as "metal and a nursing home" and "cat urine" oh my gawd, had me laughing so hard :) , man good stuff. VERY cool thank you for sharing.

Thanks from a veteran for showing the public someone insight into the daily life of soldiers over the years.

There are no words to describe my excitement before watching this video...
