MRE UNBOX - BEEF RAVIOLI IN MEAT SAUCE, MENU #18

[@Reefermadness1707]

Aces fingers just going for the M&Ms is becoming a classic. All it’s missing is the slap from papa ace. LOL 😂

[@MeAncient]

If I liked M&Ms he'd have gotten a few slaps, for sure. TFW

@@MeAncient when l was young my mom uset to do that. one day she forgot she had a knife in her hand...l still got a white line over my hand30+ years later...lol

You and your sons are a rare few I allow my son to watch on here, you raised some good anglers. May God continue to bless your family and thank you for your service.

[@MeAncient]

I appreciate that. Thank you so much! TFW

[@Rowdymotmot]

I enjoy seeing what you get and love to hear the stories of your military experience. Ace I am so glad you guys are filming these stories. Just a tip on your powdered drinks or anything else that is powdered. Put the powder in the cup and then pour your water in. My mom taught me that you always put your dry ingredients in first and then the liquid ingredients. This works for cakes, biscuits and other things (of course there are a few instances you do not do this.) So give that a try and you should have an easier time dissolving the juice powder. You can do it the other way but it is more work to get everything to dissolve.

[@MeAncient]

tks for the tip.

[@bromoenook356]

Ace is a true goat

[@RetroSnaccDaekin]

I love listening to your service stories.

[@mikek.857]

You should try putting the cheese in the MRE heater with the meal about half way thru the cooking process makes it easier to spread and use

[@000Battlefield000]

Hi, very interesting Ancient👍 Regards from Poland.

[@dabigitalianwilliams9345]

The reason why those ravioli's look that way is when you put your entree inside those heater sleeves you have to fold it so the water doesn't run out lay it flat so the water could rest against heater and the food packaging that's what those sleeves cover are for to put your food inside so it could be laid down at a slant so your food warms up evenly it doesn't warm evenly when you stand it straight up

[@DymondzTrucking1962]

I just found your channel here a while back. When I was in I used to carry packets of ketchup and mustard and a bottle of Louisiana hot sauce. I used to swipe the packets of ketchup and mustard from fast food joints. I carried the packets of ketchup mustard in a heavy ziplock bag.

[@MeAncient]

Great idea, Sam. Heavy ziplock bag is a key, me thinks. TFW!

Add salt to ration heater before pouring water in it, it reacts hotter and heats more foods and hotter then just water!

I have a canteen that I have been using for about a month. Was something I bought years ago. Just like yours. Watching you I dug in my stash of gear and found another old one(original) I had picked up years ago. It had a case but had a black top with a port in it. I looked it up and that was used to drink water through a gas mask. I took the case off and put it with the new canteen. I just need to get a cup. Thanks for the encouragement.

I had a love hate relationship with MRE heaters when i was in. Most of the time they weren't up to the task. Fourtunatly I was a tank mechanic, so I had room on my vehicles to bring a small propane stove to heat up MREs in boiling water. Made a huge difference.

Robert, we used our jeep's engines and/or computer equipment that ran real warm. We didn't have heaters when I was in. First generation MREs.......TFW

That ravioli is good when it's hot but it usually doesn't get hot in the frh because it so thick. The tortellini is the same way. Nice review.

[@tjlawrence2326]

Just thought about this for larger main course items like the cheese tortellini in the heater, are these meals coming with a cardboard pocket the heater sits in ? If not I usually fold the top of the heater over so the heat retains better and cooks more thoroughly for the big items. Love the video as usual have a great day and mery Xmas stay safe

[@MeAncient]

Yes they are! I just find it difficult to get the meal and heater into the cardboard. I tried but decided to just fold the top over and rest it against a table so the heat stayed in. Still not warm enough, although the heat pack was hot to the touch. TFW and Merry Christmas to you, Tj.

[@christinevenner183]

That ravioli in meat sauce seemed unusually dry. The one I had was a lot more liquid. But then again I boiled it in the bag for about 8 mins so it was pretty hot, maybe yours just wasn't hot enough? That drink also should have mixed a lot better than it did. Maybe the manufacturer is lacking some QC. Love hearing your stories. Great vid :)
