Hi ace I love your fishing videos

[@MeAncient]

Ace, I think it most appropriate to have my first response on my new channel to go to you. Thank you for all your advice in this new venture for an Ancient. I appreciate the fact that you did all the camera work and editing on this first one. But I mostly want to tell you that I am proud of how you led the way in this new venture for your family 5 years ago despite my doubts. I love you, son. Pops

[@daronmonnin4622]

[@BitcoinCapital]

i was in the Army in 91 and remember the brown bag MREs. I was allergic to nuts so would trade my peanut butter for the cheese spread, my deserts w/ nuts for the hard brick-like oatmeal cookie and sometimes when i got Reeses pieces or MMs would trade for dried fruit or the corned beef hash entree. Love your videos, keep up the good work!!!

Forgot I had a case of MRE's from 2008 stored at home until last week. You're right about peanut butter that last nearly forever. The 2010 expired peanut butter was as good as new. Also learned that peanut butter on the crackers with coffee is excellent.

[@Jake-xy9lt]

Part of the reason I love watching Ace and Micah is because you remind me of my dad who passed away suddenly in 2002. It's awesome watching y'all's antics with my son! While we're both cracking up laughing and having a good time watching, I can't help but daydream about being in the same situation with my pops. Here's to a healthy future for all of you, countless blessings and tight lines! -The Nelsons

[@MeAncient]

Jake, I am sorry about the loss of your dad. I hope you get a chance one day to be a father and enjoy time with your children. It is a real blessing from God. Thank you for watching.

[@hisokamorow-_-]

Ace just keeps on getting funnier😂 this is better than every other sitcom show

[@MeAncient]

Hisoka, you would not have recognized Asa 6 years ago. He was our shyest child, believe it or not. And your comment about this being better than every other sitcom is testament to why KZbin is what young people (and more and more older demographic) prefer to watch....you can choose the content you want, not have 3 choices based upon what the executives of the 3 networks picked for you. It's a brave new world. tfw!

I'm a subscriber to both your sons channels. I like them both but I do have a favorite. I served in the Army from 1971 and I retired in 1994. My first 8 years I served in the 82nd Airborne Division Field Artillery. We lived in the field and I ate a lot of C-rations over those years. The choices were limited and we were still eating Korean War surplus. When you're hungry most things taste good. I became a Maintenance Management Officer in 1981. Oct 1983 I was assigned command of maintenance detachment in Grenada. That was my first experience with MRE's. They weren't ready to eat. Most had detailed preparation procedures and they didn't taste very good. Two MRE's a day for 38 days. Most of those ended up in the trash. I would have happily traded MRE's for C-Rations Luckily we had a mess hall that served one hot meal a day that kept alive. I did loose a lot of weight. I understand MRE's got better over the years. I hope that's true. I grew up in Salt Lake City and retired in Elizabethton, TN. You have been to Cardons Landing Camp Grounds on the Watauga Reservoir. If the Watauga Dam failed it is likely my house would be under water in minutes. My son was calling me Ancient 20 years ago. He turned 50 this year. FYI Simper FI :)

The beef stew MRE in it's prime, was like chowing a can of Cambell's Beef Barley soup cold. Both are actually good cold! Same with the chicken noodle soup. I'll pop a top on the chicken noodle and slug it down. Biggest problem with MRE's was they weren't in cans that could be used for booby traps, perimeter security, fixing bullet holes, and ashtrays. Had a OH-58A from Vietnam with a bullet hole patched with a C-rat can.
