I just discovered your channel and I really like your videos. This remembers me so much of my childhood days. My german uncle used to receive some american MREs from an old friend who lived in the US. I always had one of them with me when I went fishing or hiking and it was always a good time, being out in nature and eating some warm, tasty food. Keep up the great work, I'll be looking forward to many more awesome videos!

Nice catch on the folding of the stove, Ace. They're one of my favorite. Heavy enough to withstand some abuse, but still light and small. Oh, and as far as the crackers are concerned, The Spanish army issues the crackers ("Galletas") separately from the rations. And the toothbrush comes in the breakfast ration. Awesome review! I can't wait to see you review the squid in ink. The seafood components in the Spanish rations are one of the main things that puts them near the top of my favorites list. Thank you! -Zed Meister

Dont know if you' ll read these, as this video is a bit old, but the breakfast ration carries a toothbrush similar to the one in the picture in case you dont have any. Also, everyone gets issued that silverware in basic, except the rightmost one, i have never seen it. And allmost everywhere i have been, they also give you a big loaf of bread for the entire day, but also you can take something called, "pan-galleta" which basically is crackers without salt or flavor

[@darrylriech7722]

Hey guys, great video. Such a strange combination, it seems like. Squid, peaches, and pate. Oh well, as long as it tastes good. Surprising that, as you mentioned, no starch like crackers, and no eating utensils. Good to see sliced peached with the rich golden yellow/orange color, instead of tar black!! LOL! Kudos to you Asa, for trying the pate. I don't think I've ever seen you try it before that I can recall. Looking forward to the other videos, keep 'em comin' guys. God bless.

I believe Spain and Portugal are famous for their seafood, so canned fish is pretty common. Never had canned squid before, though it seems to be good. Spain's MRE certainly doesn't look bad at all.
