Bacon can sometimes be indestructible. In the mid nineteenth century, some builders in a village in the County of Essex, broke into an old chimney in the building they were working. Hanging in the chimney, was a side of bacon, that the building's owner estimated must have been sealed up in there since the seventeenth century - it had been hung there to smoke, of course. The interesting thing is that the builders ate some of the bacon, and pronounced it excellent.

Just more on Range Cards for those who have not done infantry training or from countries who don't use range cards... The idea of a range card is that when a defensive position is set up you fill out the card with geographic features (dead ground mostly), ranges of notable features, claymore positions, barbed wire/obstacles other pits, listening posts/sentries and your designated arcs of fire. This means that you are not in your pit because you have been relieved or are off on a work party (or something else) somebody can jump into your fighting pit and know what is in front of them so that they can fight effectively. It's basically mandatory for the gun pits where piquet is usually run through the night and day by everybody in the section/platoon rotating through. Although the circles make it look like a target that's not what it is -you draw a diagram on it that shows the features mentioned above. You're meant to designate a distance per ring such as 50m, which help people understand the ranges and locations of features quickly and easily.

Hi Steve, I was a royal marine cadet, (in the U.K.) and these rations are similar to the ones that I used to eat on a regular basis on camp. The biscuits by the way, (in the packets) are designed to prevent you crapping on a regular basis. They actually were used to fill the soldier up and prevent them pooping, which means when on operations, they are less likely to be caught whilst on the toilet. The sweets also were mainly meant to be eaten when you are on the move to give short bursts of energy when fatigued etc. Interesting facts I thought you might want to hear. (Oh I forgot one thing, if you eat too many sweets in one go, they are essentially a laxative...) great content. Keep it up. Your number one fan. James

You've chosen an interesting one to review Steve (great video by the way!). There were a few 'firsts' for this ration pack, that wouldn't be obvious today. First, really interesting you spot the clear rice packet - this *was* indeed a trial of sorts. The old 'British' foods were going out of favour (Corned Beef Hash etc...) so they thought they would try curries again, but for the first time with separate rice, never done before. At the time, they knew that British rations needed updating, but the thinking was that British troops liked the *idea* of MRE's more than the actual US type meals. So, the hot sauce was a sop towards the MRE style, also a very new thing. The pate tins were history a couple of years max after this era, after that you got Pate in commercially branded (made by Princes, but not available to buy retail) retort pouches and now not at all. Also, did you spot the rather interesting 'no girls' logo on the chocolate? Duncans of Scotland had supplied the MoD for years, and when the contract ended they went bust - long having abandoned any pretence of making chocolate for civvies in any serious quantity. At that time, Yorkie (Nestle formerly 'Terry's of York') stepped in and back then had an half sexist, half tongue-in-cheek campaign along the lines of 'Yorkie - It's NOT for Girls!'. Some ration pack chocolate had this changed to 'It's NOT for Civvies!'. Later on, all chocolate was removed since virtually all conflict has been in super hot places. I don't want to talk politics, but sadly since 2010 British Ration packs IMHO have been the worst in the world, with privatisation of the catering leading a 'race to the bottom' where nasty, preservative stuffed retort pouches are being imported from Thailand and the likes, together with cheap ricecake bars etc...

i can confirm that the pate looked, smelled and tasted as steve describes when it was "fresh" in 2004

Man, I miss those old packs. It's odd that the yorkies didn't have the "NOT FOR CIVVIES!" gag on the back of them though. No really, they used to have that line on them. It was a joke take on the Yorkie "not for girls!" tagline. I remember having even older packs than this which had some off brand chocolate in a white wrapper with a red stripe going down it. The hot sauce was replaced with a little tiny bottle of tabasco pretty quickly. Btw, that orange drink? We used to clean toilets with it. It was (colloquially) called "screech". It did a better job of that than it did as a drink! You'd need about 3 litres of water to make it sort of palatable. If we had to drink it, we'd just mix at most 1/4 of the powder into a cup at a time. Also, we *never* put it in our water bottles. It'd stink the things out and they'd smell like that for literally years.

The hot sauce is for the main meal.

The curry is not for lunch. The snacks, biscuits, tea/ coffee and sweets are for lunch. The curry is for evening meal with the dumplings for dessert, both piping hot.

This one is from my infantry soldiering days; you got a great menu ORP here. Few points: Oatmeal biscuits are amazing Bacon and beans was the best breakfast to get, totally agree it's smokey and there's lots of it as a bacon:beans ratio Biscuits brown smell and feel stale but are actually great for something so simple, put the Yorkie chocolate in bewtwen two like an un-melted smore and it's heaven The hot chocolate mix you use some of the water from the mess tin you heated the bacon and beans in (the rest is for shaving and cleaning the cam cream off) and with the sugar already in it (don't add more) it really wakes you up The pate goes straight in the empty sandbag to be thrown away The boiled sweets are for when you are on sentry at 0200 in the morning, if you focus on keeping them moving around your mouth, touching each tooth as it goes, you won't fall asleep The juice powders are great but you can't let them sit in your water bottle for long or they'll stick to the inside and you'll have a rotten water bottle in no time Hot sauce goes in the curry; the little bottles of tabasco that came before this were far better than whatever those sachets were When it's cold and wet, the stock drink will change your life

In the mid 80s I became strangely obsessed with the Vietnam War (I'm British & we didn't really have any real involvement over there), but ever since then, anything I find interesting online that harks back to that is interesting to me...

Man i miss these kinda ration packs, used to have them as an army cadet. Love the comments further down about the biscuits brown bunging you up and the biscuit fruit doing the opposite. i heard (and beleived) that rumour too though i remember doing 3 days in the field during out annual camp and never needed the toilet so the entire ration pack must be designed to do that either that or you're expectd to need the nutrients from them that much that your body absorbs almost everything from it so it doesnt leave any waste material for you to poop, loved the biscuit fruit but didnt like the browns anywhere near as much. I can remember the 'big trade' that always took place after we had our ration packs distributed, everyone opening them up and finding out what boil in the bag meals they had. and you'd hear 'Anyone trade a fruit dumplings and biscuit brown for a chocolate pudding' and similar as people tried to trade what they didnt like for what the did. I ended up with 10 packets of biiscuit fruit in those 3 days as only me and 1 other guy in my section liked them.

The fruit dumplings weren't popular Steve so they got rid of them. I loved them so got everyones! Later Yorkies in UK ration packs had the slogan, "Not for civvies" written on the wrapper. All we get now in our ORP biscuit wise is the oatmeal block; no chocolate either! See if you can get your hands on an old school UK Arctic ration pack - that's be a coup. Shame about the curry, when fresh it was brilliant.

Your genuinely enthusiastic tone makes your videos all the more wholesome :) Keep up the good work and try not to get too sick

just a heads up, the meals should have been: breakfast: bacon and beans with oatmeal block or biscuits, dead fly (fruit) lunch: soup, biscuits brown (or AB as they were originaly called, we called them biscuits arse buster, supposed to be alternative bread) dinner: curry and rice, with fruit dumplings for desert (yes us brits get a desert which is nice) other bits and bobs to be eaten through the day as desired. also the tea to a brit is terrible its one sachet per pint. and the sugars are 2 teaspoons per packet. the boiled sweets are great, always had a good exchange on boilies especially as i liked the green ones, so i managed to swap one of my reds for 5 greens, or 2 reds for someones oatmeal block, crumble it up, add 2 creamer and 2 sugar couple dead fly biscuits and a touch of hot water, and you get a decent porrige

we also got fruit dumplings in butterscotch sauce, that was a treat. nothing on treacle sponge however that thing could be weaponized to rot teeth at a thousand paces. least you didnt have cheese possessed sorry processed, crunchy cheese, a odd sensation. if you do get another i would advise dropping the pate in boiling water with a meal as the meat absorbs the fat and becomes more edible and less catfood. sadly your curry and pate had gone off over time as the curry used to be the most popular dish. pate was always crap though. and on the subject of yorkies, the original ones had a picture of a stopsign with a diagonal strike through over a woman inside and the tagline was its NOT for civvies, a play on yorkies marketing of its not for girls

Good job holding the tray one handed with two drinks, nice.

Hey great review as always thanks. I joined in 2004 so I've eaten a few of these things from fresh. The curry used to be good but I guess after shelf life it doesn't age well that's a shame. The custard in the dumplings used to be more liquidy than that I think it dried out over time. Really delicious though from what I remember. Also the curry is supposed to be for dinner with the dumplings as a desert. Traditionally we only lit stoves in the morning and evening for heating up the food pouches. So for lunch we just ate the cold items such as brown biscuits and pate, orange juice drink, fruit biscuits boiled sweets and oatmeal block. There is an even rarer Yorkie bar that says not for civvies on it. A play on the Yorkie advertising slogan not for girls (hence the crossed out woman on the front of the wrapper) implying it was very manly chocolate. Thanks for the video it was a trip down memory lane :)

Always a pleasure watching these!

Here within first 30 minutes of upload. love ya Steve

Your insecurities I do

You are THE BEST!!! No matter what it smells like or taste like you just PLOW THROUGH IT!! Your videos are timeless Steve!!

Fun fact, the lemon and orange drink were affectionately known as "screech". This is due to the noise you'd make if you simply ate it like sherbet. Also, the oatmeal block could be mushed with hot water to make oatmeal.

MRE ration videos are my more recent guilty pleasure. And your videos do not disappoint!

I've tried this one! Wayback when I went on a bivvying trip and we had these provided, I remember having treacle pudding the most clearly, it was one of the sweetest things i've ever eaten. We all swapped round the meals and I think I ended up with burger and beans for breakfast.

YES!!! I absolutely love the videos with unique NICE cuts!

This was a pretty packed ration set! Its crazy how a lot of rations went from bring in aluminium and tin cans to plastic wrap and vacume sealed. Man we have the technology! Thanks for sharing Steve!!! 😀😀😀

hi Steve. the biscuit browns are meant for lunch. They are designed to block up your bowls so you don't need to poo. the biscuit fruits are designed to make you poo so you csn choose when you do your functions. the pate always smelt like cat food and taste like it too. I always liked the curry though

you should make a q&a video! I'm sure people have many questions to ask you. awesome video as always. nice :)

Steve1989MREinfo thank you so much for your videos. Even tho I have no interests in MREs. I still watch all your videos. From the way you speak and act it's shows you are a nice respectable person. Big thanks 👍

I love how optimistic he is about eating expired food lol must be why I'm binge watching his videos

You know Steve, you have some of the highest quality and consistent vids on KZread. Whenever a new one comes out I know it's gonna be.... Nice.

This made my day, THANK YOU STEVE!

“Oatmeal block” sounds delectable.

When Steve has tried every ration I'd like to see him branch into supermarket dumpster reviews

No.

I've been watching your videos for awhile now Steve, and what I find amazing is that not only are you usually eating rations that most people would throw away, but you're a food reviewer that has a MUCH better vocabulary than the overpaid hacks on the Eater channel that are "reviewing" $1000 steaks. And watching them try to eat sushi just makes me want to slap them into next month.

This is oddly therapeutic

I love your vids. Always excited to hear the hiss assessment. Parts of this vid felt a little rushed though. Maybe others freak out over vid duration but what draws me to this channel is how you take your time with everything. Still really enjoyed this. Keep em coming and I'll keep watching.

that paté smells like cat food when its new but i used to love it

These videos make me so hungry

I know! The commissary nearby at Keesler AFB used to sell MREs and they no longer do which sucks...I'd buy those things all the time.

Jake G so, I live in South Carolina USA. one neat thing about hurricane matthew was that, when we finally got home, shelters were handing out MREs. They were modern-day and I got to eat them with my nephews. they didn't enjoy them anywhere near as much as I did. so I ate theirs.

Jake G I just go grab a pack of doggy treats and coffee and I'm just fine while watching these 😁

just found this channel and i love it

Love your enthusiasm for eating army rations even if they look and taste like crap! I use to be in the Army Cadets in the UK in the late 80's and we use to get issued with British Army 24 hour arctic ration packs. Some which are familiar to some of the items in this pack. Keep the videos coming. Great viewing.

Dude I really like your videos. I don't know how I come across your channel but enjoy it.

Steve, you're awesome man. Love your personality lol, seem like such a laid back, kindhearted guy. Have a great day, looking handsome as always!

have a feeling that anytime steve hears someone fart he says:"Nice hiss"

I don't know why, but something about these videos i just love. I don't think you have a patreon but if you do id love to support the channel, keep up the great videos!

I like how he gives nice descriptions of the food and such,instead of just saying "it's good" or "it's not good"

I hate that 2004, still feels like it wasn't that long ago.. but in reality it was 13 years ago >. I love your videos!! I'm glad the notifications are working again :) You and Emmy are my favourites!! The way the crazy russian hacker opens MRE's gives me severe anxiety, lol!! He is so fast and doesn't lay it all out.. but I love his sense of humour about it. Still though, you and Emmy are my top 2- the aussie is my third :)

We sent you half a million of these ration packs in 2005 because of hurricanes, there rarer than hens teeth over in UK enjoy ;) i was jealous of that bacon and beans, the newer ones look less flavoursome.

Omg how is Steve so funny without even trying- I literally laughed my ass off when he said "hm, smells stale!" It's all in the delivery. #nice

I just found your channel from emmymadeinjapan. And I am hooked on your videos! I find this so intriguing and you commentary is great! I am subbed and definitely watching more of your videos!

How I miss you childhood yorkie. Made me the man I am today

Love the 24hr pack videos.

Hi Steve We get a Yorkie in a purple wrapper over here too, it's the same but with raisins and bits of biscuit mixed in, one of my favs.

These videos are just plain awesome.

Ok it’s 2 years old, only just found this channel but this cracked me up 😂 Brilliant.
