2011 New Zealand 24 Hour Operational Ration Pack MRE Review Meal Ready to Eat Taste Test

Check out this New Zealand 24 Hour Ration. It was 100% fresh which is a surprise for being already 6 years old. An amazing MRE, with one of the best sets of main courses I have ever had in a thermostabilized retort pouch. The NZ 24hr ORP is top of the line.

Here’s the thing: I love Steve’s channel. He’s enthusiastic about reviewing rations. He has a consistent format and great visual display. His added little touches like the musical stirring spoons and the snapshots of soldiers from the relevant countries complement the videos. But one element that is consistently impressive is that he does not hesitate to give a ‘shout out’ - and often an outright endorsement - of other ‘MRE review’ channels. Steve, you’re a prince among men.

[@JD_79]

Right. I think he's probably a genuinely nice dude. And I think he only cares about making quality content and getting enough $$$ to fund his next video (unless they are all demonetized for having military themes). He has a ton of subs and could make a fortune just spamming low quality videos but he never does that.

Poor Steve, Aussies have migoreng (remove the noodles from the water and add your seasoning) and NZ has a maggi style (add seasoning to water to make a broth) I noticed you copped a lot of flack over the Australian noodles, and now the NZ ones 😂 love your stuff mate!

[@aaronquak2139]

Steve learned from the mi goreng experience and applied it to the beef noodles! Give the man credit heheheh

[@Anudorini-Talah]

He did it wrong, the seasoning cant even spread properly without water, its just the wrong way to do it. Add noodle Add seasoning Add water _______________ And THEN you can remove the water afterwards if you want, but the other way arround is just airy and not much absorbation of that seasoning for the noodles

[@shawndays1671]

Great review as always

[@nessotty9790]

The noodles are maggi New Zealand and Australia has both types of noodles. If you want a jar of vegemite let me know I send you a big jar or a few tubes.

[@r10101]

The key is, when you drain the noodles is to leave a little bit of water in the noodles, so that the seasoning/sauces are much easier to spread.

[@AuroraMills]

Hey everyone, we're back with this 2011 NZ ORP. This ration was incredibly fresh for being 6 years old. Storage conditions mean everything. Kiwi Dude had originally sent one of these to me earlier this year - but customs here in the U.S. removed the two mains from it. These things happen sometimes, unfortunately. So James out in New Zealand sent two NZ ORPs out - and I reviewed this one and RC Gusto now has the other. Thanks so much both to Kiwi Dude and to James from NZ for making this video happen! Check out Kiwi Dude's MRE Review channel here: kzbin.info For anyone who somehow has not seen his videos - you gotta give him a look and subscribe. He has made some of the best MRE Reviews ever made. True classics! I may have one more video out on the 22nd or 23rd. But if not, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Hey ProfessorLumpkins! I was pretty happy to get a new one out to you & the folks here! Got 2-3 more out this week. Alright, cool!

[@petersmith6423]

Steve you do such a good job describing these ration packs, especially when you talk about texture and subtle flavours, really easy to imagine what they are really like.... well done sir.....

[@zachjennings1443]

Your positive attitude makes these videos all so great, thank you for all the entertainment, and really great and thorough reviews

[@TexRobNC]

Steve, been binge watching and been in love with your videos since the first one. The regimented way you film, narrate, and edit these videos is not lost on me. To me, you and a handful of other KZbinrs like the Slow-Mo guys, are so fantastic because of your attention to detail. I could watch someone with your attitude and attention to detail talk about just about anything :)

[@verdatum]

It blows my mind that more MREs don't do ramen. Ramen is AMAZING. The mini-Scouring pad is a BRILLIANT addition. I'd never even thought about how useful that would be. Shame one everyone else for not adding that!

[@madhouse5213]

needs alot of water for that

[@TheIndogamer]

It might have some great water waste but legit tho it is awesome to have instant noodles.

[@bigminion5577]

also a really bad source of sodium, you'll probably have to drink even more water after that to make up for it.

[@plaguemouse5549]

The chocolate drink tasted like water because it most likely had no dry milk added to it and was meant to be mixed in milk.

[@mrsteelnutz]

Yeah makes sense

[@kiwibird8441]

It's Milo you need at least two desert spoons and sugar for it to taste good

[@alexschluckbier1075]

Where the fuck are you gonna get milk in combat dude😂

[@imarknutt5638]

Alex Schluckbier the store duh

[@onefastsled]

Alex Schluckbier the sweetened condensed obviously

[@Chad_Thundernuts]

I had a similar ration pack a few years ago. Never had one before nor since, but I remember really enjoying it!

[@randalthor3919]

No lembas bread? No old toby!? What kind of New Zealand rations pack is this?

[@superextempman]

Rand al'Thor not even a sniff of potatoes

[@HIKARUAUSTIN]

no mashing or bashing or cooking in stews RIP

[@stinkyfungus]

[@MaxC350]

Steve, it's always such a pleasant surprise when you upload. I think I speak for everyone when I say we love your and your videos to death.

[@Steve1989MRE]

Hey thanks so much, Max. :)

[@Thomas-lk5cu]

It's 2:33 AM here - but heck, I might as well watch you eat this 6 year old MRE :)

[@russellcook4792]

Thomas H 2:52 I've been watching this all day

[@jammer1962]

I love these videos! I caught the tail end of the c rations overstock in basic training in 1983. After that it was the MRE’s. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻

[@shaul76239]

Good job steve . Great to see all the various and historic rat packs. Love your channel mate.

[@briancartoscelli8029]

Steve1989 you never disappoint thanks. This is definitely unique

[@Steve1989MRE]

Hey Brian! Thank you for checking this one out - glad ya liked it. This ration was unique and still absolutely delicious.

[@85howdav]

You'll definitely stay hydrated with this ration

[@Steve1989MRE]

You've got that right, howdav!

[@PuRpLePoNcHo]

This is great, I'm glad I found your channel and will be binge watching to catch up..... Keep up the great work

[@borkborkie5471]

28:34 Oml he is so polite that it’s too amazing to handle 😂💕👌

[@LuNa4Death]

love how you switched it up with the tones on the packet tapping this time! As always such a fun wholesome adventure watching you. I hope for your 500k subscriber video you go all outdoors/camping. That'll be a nice treat!

[@Steve1989MRE]

Hey LuNa4Death! Glad ya didn't mind the change of pace in that regard. It's always great to be able to share a new video with you and the folks here. I am going camping soon - will bring the camera and some rations. And the tray for good measure!

[@Zekerdy]

I love Steve and steve Love's us

[@Steve1989MRE]

I do love you and everyone here Big E. You guys make life pretty nice.

[@123johnthebaptist]

Gotta love seeing someone with a genuine interest in something. Awesome vid

[@surfacematter2098]

I like that you give everything a try, and if it's different in taste you don't pool poo it. I've seen other reviews and those guys are very closeminded to new flavors. Thanks!

[@thedude7726]

[@Steve1989MRE]

That's a good sign of needing some quality snacks on deck for a video like this!

[@nikkidee94]

[@mrgorilla2610]

I drain then pour the packet in is it just me ?

[@Lakhshamana]

You need to do that with mie goreng actually

[@BedsitBob]

That tube of condensed milk takes me back to the British 24 hour Ration packs of the 70s.

[@SuperAWaC]

love the music steve, could chill with that for hours

[@Steve1989MRE]

Thanks so much AWaC! I really enjoy that aspect of creating these videos - and one of these days I will finally have the slideshow complete of all my compiled MRE photos and all those tunes in entirety.

[@protnk]

I can't wait!

[@williammesser2448]

“Let’s get this out onto a tray, nice!” I look forward to that in every video.

[@the_69th_gamer43]

I saw him holding the seasoning and picking up the tea and my anxiety levels went from 0 to 69 real quick

[@therising1]

Steve, my family has been watching you for months now. First time seeing that shirt. We love you even more now!
