But not only does he show an actiual _passion_ and taste for MREs but he discusses actual science and nutritional facts and only uploads when he has something to say.And just actual _scientific_ information about carbs and calaroies, and even weight and such. Not just for the hell of it, nothing for regular views, or begging for subscribers, just pure _quality_ - Steve is just fantastic.

I also really liked how you told people this really isn't something you want to hoard or stash if you live somewhere you have options. This ration truly was designed for a very specific reason, and isn't the right ration to use for long term food storage.

I’ve seen other reviewers that will say things like, “hmmm… what’s this? Eeew, I don’t like it!” One reviewer even thought that the Esbit stove fuel tablets were food. One had an older ration that included cigarettes and refused to light one of them. Steve will smoke that bad boy.

Some of his Survival kit reviews… let’s just say he could use some training in the use of various components… a stupid example that comes to mind was he didn’t know about the IR chemical light (he thought was defective) or the IR finger light (which he thought had dead batteries) in one of the newest USAF pilot survival/medical modules. But to his credit he corrected the video with subtitles and left them as they were filmed (if my memory serves me correctly). He is one of my favorite KZread people because he is “expert level” when it comes to rations and his passion (from what I see and hear) has gotten him into survival kits (which is something I’ve dumped alot of time and effort into the history and designs of military and civilian kits) my passion. He also is authentic and has a “hook”. Great style. When you say… “let’s get this out onto a tray… NICE” I’ve heard numerous people say that.

Not to argue, or rain on your parade, but I don't think that is a good idea. It can kill babies. In the (70's?) Nestle heavily marketed their baby formula in South America, but the problem was that they didn't have much clean water to make it with. Once a mother stops breastfeeding, she can no longer produce breast milk naturally, ending up with a bunch of babies in South America that couldn't be fed. Resulting in at least a 27% increase in infant deaths in those countries. War Zones and the likes are not reliable enough (imo) to safely provide adequate water to everyone.

@kin2naruto

Realistically? The BEST nutrition for an infant is giving the breastfeeding mother priority on food. And commercial infant formula is already the cutting edge for nutrition. (Aka - still inferior to breastfeeding) And "replacing" the milk with formula for as little as three days will dry up the mother's supply. Thus forcing the family on expensive formula until the baby is weaned.

Steve Everyone was worried glad to see everything is good and I enjoy your videos you put a lot into them !

Dude this is the most detailed/best off the map exploration video I've seen. Thanks.

Sweet potato and grape is an unexpectedly creative combo. If that was on a menu at a nice restaurant, like pork tenderloin with sweet potato and grape puree, I'd think, "Oh, that's clever."

@@moekitsune Think who eats kosher and halal meat and think how they feel we owe them something. I've personally seen war refugees throw a fit cause some aid we (me personally as well) gave them was not 5 star gourmet shit. It's amazing that you set aside time from your family, even invest your own money to help those fuckers and they give you lip. I'm not lifting a finger for any kind of foreigner anymore.

Back in 2021 we had hurricane Ida hit us pretty hard. So a lot of people got MREs here and for some reason people really hate the things here, so I ended up with quite a lot because nobody wanted the things after the hurricane had passed and the cleanup was pretty well done. I'd bring them to work and eat them for lunch because it was quick and easy and there was enough variety in menus to where it didn't get too old. Well one of my coworkers said oh yeah I have 10 cases of MREs you can have I'll drop them off for you and it ended up being one case of the brown military rations and then nine cases of these humanitarian rations. Needless to say not being in an emergency situation I got burntout on humanitarian rations very quickly

Holy crap! My boyfriend was eating these in a video call (basically re-creating a Steve video cuz we were missin them) a few days ago, and now he gets back, and he's eating the Humanitarian Daily Ration?! This is awesome, absolutely making my night.

It's great to learn about MRE's of the world, thanks Steve.

I like that you explain the reasoning behind why this or that is in the MRE. (like, the food that would be easy to ingest by elderly, or halal/kosher considerations, etc). I wouldn't have stopped to consider it so I'm glad you pointed it out. Even pointing out the detail that the packaging is quite visible. Your videos are exceptional.

Lived on these for a while after Hurricane Ian. Had some canned goods stored, but the gov't was giving them to anyone they could. Was working disaster relief/cleanup and these things were tasty and calorie dense, I had at least 2 packs a day and felt like I was running on home-cooked food. The sweet-potato/grape smoothie was actually amazing if you could cool it down, great desert and energy boost. Only complaint would be lack of an FRH. Great review as always, thanks for the content!

@modarkthemauler

Жыл бұрын

Considering the use of this ration a FRH makes less sense because in a environmental disaster situation you have easier accesses to fire and the retort pouch means you can heat/boil this ration in muddy/salty non drinkable water as well. One of those small easy to light fuel tablets with a couple of matches would maybe be better.

The first ration was so health-provoking, it made him grow more facial hair!

Im so happy i was just wondering how they tasted and boom youre back!!! Thanks Steve!

Turns out, it didn’t kill him. It only made him… stronger.

Nice!

Your sensitivity to the reasons people will be eating these rations is very kind, on point, and much appreciated - especially including a statement about a disappointing component being the reason why these rations are available on the retail market. That made me, as a relative newcomer to these MRE-related channels, feel much better about watching it (because it would not have gone to someone in need out in the field). And I find your content massively educational. Thank you!

@@debgeisler4568 They're almost definitely just surplus so I wouldn't worry about it, if anything these MRE collectors are doing governments a favour by not letting food go to waste. There could potentially be some weird black market activity, but seems unlikely, there isn't that much money to be made from these rations other than as collector items or people just doing it for fun. Now weapons and military equipment on the other hand, that's a whole other story.

There may be people selling stuff inappropriately. But it is very normal for militaries to need to update or otherwise replace their outdated equipment and supplies. Rations specifically will have a much shorter storage life than most things, so I think it is very normal to find a steady supply of slightly older rations reaching the civilian market. This is actually good because it allows some cost recovery for what would otherwise be wasted. Of course, it would be better to avoid over producing in the first place, but some amount of over production is required to avoid under production, which would be worse.

Man, I'm a pretty decent cook, but (aside from just really enjoying your videos) I usually learn something about the reasoning behind different ingredients from you. You're brilliant, dude.

I appreciate the attention to detail you include while sharing knowledge. Keep it up!

Well, looks like we all kept checking regularly to see when he would post something. Hoping he was alright, then the moment came now. Isn't it strange how one can care so much about someone they have never met and have so much admiration for? Glad you are back man. Keep them coming at your own pace. From what I have seen for many months now is that countless people adore your content to the point where they ask eatchother on here (or other forums) about your well-being. I hope that means something to you because it is a hell of a thing.

I'm genuinely glad that the MRE supply chain is being used not only to help the boys overseas but also to distribute effective, lasting aid options. This MRE looks solid, and one I'd love to take on a long hike - if it didn't need to be sent to a struggling nation/people elsewhere!

Lot better hot then cold though thats for sure
