I started following Steve about 3 months ago. A friend of mine at work mentioned a guy who ate and reviewed an 1899 emergency ration. I was intrigued so I checked it out. I was amazed by the passionate and excited way he presented the history and the ration itself. Since then, I have made the history of military rations and other aspects of militaria a hobby of mine. I have acquired a bunch of Korea and Vietnam era rations with the intention of researching, opening, and documenting them. I enjoy the newer stuff like this review, but the main draw for me is the time-capsule, scientific, and historical aspects of Steve’s review and of course, the way he describes and documents everything in such amazing detail. Thanks Steve!

[@paulwoodman5131]

Of course the evolution of the MRE is endlessly fascinating. Someone famous once said..the military travels on its stomach ... This MRE here seems to encapsulate a lot of that technology and knowledge. Nutrition portability, taste.

The Jerky is super easy to open, you grab it at the corner (the one that appears rounded inwardly), by each layer front and back, and pull it apart. They're sealed specifically to be able to open that way without tearing or cutting Steve.

[@billspooner3370]

I remember quite fondly the 1990's era infamous Canadian breakfast menu item - the cheese omelet. I have watched most of your wonderful videos where I get to learn what soldiers past and present fueled themselves with but I don't think I've seen the classic 90s egg and cheese dish. One of two terrible things would happen if you had it in a pack with you or if it was a very hot climate. The first (and most entertaining) was that you would hear a loud pop, breakfast has exploded unopened. And the second and more common if a bit less fun would be the meal itself expanding in its packaging, but the difference from the first explosive one would still be edible. The expansion in the second would be the gasses in the pack from the omelet spoiling (it was obvious too the omelet took on a green/orange hue). Thank you Steve for these videos I really do enjoy seeing what fueled the soldiers from other countries, and the past Canadian/Americans as well.

​@@margaretmacgillicuddy4944It's easy to afford such comforts when your military is as weak and pitiful as ours. Glad they all get turkey dinners - can we splurge a little and get the lads some new guns and vehicles maybe? You know, the main point of having an army? Being able to defend anything? Might as well just get rid of the military spending and let the USA assume full time babysitting duty since that's who we rely on for defence anyway. Let's be honest. Our forces would do nothing against China or Russia if push came to shove. CF can't even hold members. Turnover rate is at an all time high. Nobody wants to bother what with every action being scrutinized for "political correctness" and no money for anything but presumably turkey dinners. A joke, through and through.

The beverage bags are great. I was skeptical of how stable they'd be but they're made of a really thick and durable plastic so they can stand up well even on somewhat uneven ground. Even better if you have a Rock or Something™ to lean it up against. One of the better designs and reusable in an emergency situation. Because of the seal you could probably even have it submerged for short periods such as wading across a river without risking contamination (though you'd need to wash off the outside).
