MRE Review: Menu No.1 Chili With Beans (Outdoor Review)

[@nonexistent7974]

I LOVE WHEN YOU DO MRE's outside. Because it makes it seem like if you were actually out on the field or something

[@sozeztyy7528]

Just got a military MRE because of your videos. It was honestly really good. Keep making these videos, they're interesting.

[@Sticky745]

Awesome video, G! I really enjoy the outdoor take on mres! I'm hoping to do a video like this in the future!

[@gschultz9]

Thanks sticky! Looking forward to your take on the outdoor thing!

[@Garfshots]

gschultz hasn't changed a bit! Watched him years ago but stop for some reason. I made a KZbin account recently and stubbled back upon these MRE vids. Nothing really changed to me while I was gone but I remember the last video of him I watched was one where he took different ingredients from Mre's and gave it to his daughters. Keep up the great work G!

[@gschultz9]

Welcome back radiated Ibuprofen!

[@MREHungary]

One of my favorite MRE variations, the cornbread goes really well with the chili ;)

[@lukethedriftersghost4882]

Nice touch doing the review outdoors. I have never seen cornbread, was it sweet made my old southern heart happy. Dump that crushed pepper on brother.

[@gavincatt607]

I love seeing outdoor MRE reviews, I gave you a thumbs up only because I can't give you two thumbs up

[@gavincatt607]

I just posted my first video a couple days ago I plan to start doing some ration reviews the goal is to do majority of them outside

[@Bigtexmex6000]

+cattlike curiosity wow awesome

[@WoodchuckGames]

we're do u buy MRE's?

[@gavincatt607]

+Woodchuck Games army surplus, EBay, Amazon

[@WoodchuckGames]

+cattlike curiosity Thanks for the quick reply also I subbed to u and I'm watching ur MRE review :P

[@midlifecrisisguy]

New to your channel watched 4 or 5 vids what I like is you don't just taste and talk you show how to prepare and even clean up good stuff

[@gschultz9]

Thank you for checking them out. I hope you find it interesting!

[@Bigtexmex6000]

gshultz you inspired me to start reviewing mres

[@falcodoesthings2293]

Man it's been so long since I've seen one of your videos there's so much for me to watch I love it💯💯

[@sharonmaurer2882]

This review was really good. I like the being outdoors touch that was cool:)

[@snuffles_au]

Those FRH's - I don't see you guys ever doing it, but why do you keep putting the meal pouch into the FRH bag? The galvanic cells don't get wetted properly with items in the bag, which gives you uneven heating. Perhaps just add your 40-60mL of water to the FRH and keep the meal and other things you want to heat on the outside of the FRH bag, then stuff it into the box. Maybe don't lay it at an angle - keep it flat to ensure the water (electrolyte) maintains contact with all the cells. Try it! I think you'll be impressed. It works for me

[@rockyraab8290]

That's what I've been preaching for some time now. FRH works better, food stays dry and gunk-free, and you can easily flip the entree over halfway through the cycle to even out the heating. Smarter all 'round.

[@joannegray5138]

Love that bit at the end with the ant :)

[@freeebirdx1316]

great review! more people should do them outside

[@gschultz9]

I have a feeling that we're gong to start seeing more outside reviews.

[@AgentTasmania]

Now with 40% real field conditions!

[@stabulouskoda834]

chili with cornbread is awesome with cheese probably one of my favorite things

[@Johnnymac66]

gschultz9 - I am sure that Gundog approved of the "gundogging it up" that you conducted - and I have to say - that was a perfect rendition of it! Really enjoying the "in the field" perspective that you are giving us!

[@SemiZeroGravity]

how long do these last? i know they don't really taste super good but it just amazes me how long these can last

[@oldbaldfatman2766]

Thanks for the video as I just got 6 mre's via a family member and wondered how they'd taste. As to the cheese spread, found out that Velveeta is available in pouch, getting a bunch of 'em from Dollar Tree.

[@introspect418]

Nice time-lapse :)

[@gastonskt345]

love your videos! which mre of all you tried is your favorite ?

[@marknuts7945]

The fella at the end is obviously an "Army Ant" ;D

[@hamsack981]

do you buy individual mres or do you buy them by the case?

[@tedw101]

My first ever MRE.. I wish I did it this way for the first time!

[@gschultz9]

A good menu to have for your first one!

[@strictlyxjs8750]

im going to try this one this weekend i have one from 2010

[@Bcso591]

for some stupid reason i laughed where he flinged off that fly

[@SteadyFlockin]

Rlly love these videos

[@gschultz9]

Really glad to hear it!

[@lauramillard8265]

Mmm dairy shakes are my fav. Also quite like the cornbread in MREs which is saying something cause I usually can't do cornbread because you can still feel the grittiness of the cornmeal.

[@jamesgoetzke8393]

MY favorite mre. Corn bread is the best. An MRE I would buy.

[@21splenetic]

Hey, great video as always! Where can I order this MRE?

[@kollegahsterin]

Was there no beverage base powder such as lemon-lime flavor in the MRE?

[@charlesadams1721]

You mean a Mountain Dew “taste-alike”? Because not enough 20 year old meal planners?

[@lancerevell5979]

The green stuff..... "frog piss"! 😎

[@DreadnoughtAdventure]

Chili with beans, and cornbread - definitely #1 !

[@spamquisition4046]

Is the Diario instant coffee any different from the standard Taster's Choice one?

[@nonexistent7974]

Oh and one question, what mre that you have had, has had the best coffee

[@stevekillgore9272]

Thanks for the review

[@victorvaldemarjuhl3932]

Really like your videos and im so excited for my birthday im getting a whole case of MRE's and you have helped me learn how to prepare the food 👍 up 4 You and keep doing what your doing really fun to watch👍👍👌😎

[@gschultz9]

Glad to hear it! Happy Birthday, and I hope you enjoy your MREs!

[@victorvaldemarjuhl3932]

+gschultz9 thank you

[@victorvaldemarjuhl3932]

+gschultz9 and i just want to say that im from Denmark an i Would really like if You could do a reveiw of a Danish MRE

[@Ryan-ez5im]

Cool vid, do you eat all the food or do you give it away or something, because it seems like a waste if you didn't.

[@rickgamino8323]

He most likely ate all of it as you can see everything was empty

[@Padre619]

I just got this MRE and it's my first so I hope it's good

[@gschultz9]

I think it's a GREAT introduction to MREs. Enjoy!

[@Padre619]

gschultz9 also the contents in mine were a little different like a banana ranger bar instead of a pop tart, bread instead of crackers, and electrolyte powder instead of chocolate shake powder, also I ate most of it for dinner last night but my brother poured all of the red pepper powder in my chili so it was a little too hot, but the MRE was still great, especially the price.

[@pilsplease7561]

I can handle hot stuff, but I dumped a pack of hot pepper flakes out of a mre into a item once and it was for first time in my life too hot for me to eat. Ive got hot sauce made out of the worlds hottest pepper and this stuff was somehow hotter?

[@strawkun8827]

Question, do you eat the whole main entrée, or just through it away like in most of your videos?

[@gschultz9]

In which videos do I throw it away?

[@TheJannabanana20]

Have you ever tried mixing the coffee with the chocolate dairy shake? I'm not sure how the dairy shake would taste warm, but it almost seems like it could be a mocha cappuccino type drink? Just a thought. :) Love your videos!!

[@gschultz9]

You know, that's a pretty common thing to do and I probably SHOULD showcase it myself. The only problem is that I actually don't like coffee (believe it or not), and putting it into a drink that I like (like the cocoa beverage or a chocolate dairyshake) would kind of ruin the drink for me!

[@level2vest720]

What MRE's would you recommend

[@aaaaa2098]

from my experience my all-time favorite is chili and macaroni (most of the time they come with skittles)

[@jakekarma6820]

now that looks good

[@venomousgaming4159]

I'd feel bad for the guy who shits easily from chili especially if hes in the Recon Course

[@RJM1011]

Looked good thank you for the video.

[@MultiMagnum62]

Great review as always Chili with beans screams AMERICA.!! If only we had bigger FRH's, LOL .Sides looked good also friend. I have yet to find A MRE, with what they call cornbread, wondering how it tastes? More flour than corn meal by appearance. Glad you " GUNDOGED It up, LOL. Love the army ant. Peace, John, Magnum. P.S., have to share, when you said, " After A meal like this..", LOL, I thought you were going to say. I need the rest of the John Wayne paper, LOL. . ! Glad it went to reusing package, Peace. John.

[@coreymakhoul6884]

Does the cheese spread taste like the canned cheese stuff you put on crackers. Can you send me an mre

[@joebryer]

"i never had this before" i thougt that was imposible after all this time ;)

[@marcroche9324]

Good job. Outside.! !

[@goodi2shooz]

nice ration...loved the extra protein on the side...lol

[@stb301]

I'd have mixed the milkskake powder with the coffee, sugar, and creamer cold and had a mocha.

[@braejefe7908]

first also I've tried some of these my cousin is in the military and he has a lot in his basement I actually have a a box or two he's given me just haven't eaten them yet

[@brtshstel]

How's the chewing gun?

[@keithmoore7390]

ever try the meal outside of the heater like you did the coffee? it wouldn't be wet if it would work!'

[@ronaldotop1415]

just keap up man you are a man

[@bruzga5450]

i been watching u for a long time right now , idk how but i just saw that i subscribed you yesterday , is there a way to contact with ya or something

[@stevegrabke1320]

brother was in foreign legion. got all kinds of MRE and army issues.

[@iwatchvideos297]

"Some extra protein here" - points at fly lol

[@har1naa]

Who else freaked out when they saw the bug? Only me? Ight

[@Greenmachine305]

Looks like a shopping spree at the local CVS snack food isle.

[@longcaster1365]

You should have that organic extra protein, it's good for your health...

[@kardstore]

no fruit beverage?

[@brannenthebranbarianhereot8502]

The only type of chili I like is MRE chili. I don't know why, but it is so good.

[@gavincatt607]

I love all types of chili, well except for Cincinnati style... They can keep that!

[@X0.WILDBOY.X0]

can you show the nutritional facts on the back of the pouches of you don't mind

[@gschultz9]

I usually do. Did I forget to do it in this video? Sorry. Most of them do show the nutritional facts (at least for the mains and sides).

[@X0.WILDBOY.X0]

Oh ok

[@Ms.Rogers871]

Hmmmm beans in Chili ..... / other then that issues great review

[@momatty707]

HAIL ANTS. (seriously now good vid.)

[@jna3341]

How long can store a MRE?

[@thecman26]

Indefinitely if you freeze it!

[@gschultz9]

They're designed to last 3-5 years when stored properly, but will actually last much longer. There's no specific amount of time before they actually go bad. You can find one from five years ago that isn't very good and then find one that's twenty years old and still perfectly fine. Just to give a very rough estimate, I think I'd feel comfortable eating MREs that are up to 10 years old if I knew they were stored well. They can certainly remain edible longer than that, but why take the chance?

[@LyD787]

?what was that tiny squeaking sound in the background 😂😂😂

[@DreadnoughtAdventure]

About 7:00 - art !

[@kranktape1102]

hu i love You Videos and its funny i have the Same one

[@sethpyle9764]

I what to try a mre really bad

[@billm672]

That catbird in the background, rofl

[@oatmeal9937]

*Goes to sip coffee out of bag* *bag dumps*

[@LiamPenfold]

Is it just me or did it seem there wasn't much dairy shake in the cup?

[@kollegahsterin]

You could just easily add more water if you like it more liquidy like I do.

[@keithmoore7390]

not just you! definitely seemed a tad short on the amount!!

[@AgentTasmania]

These MRE milkshakes always look very small and incredibly thick. Lots more room in the pouch, customise viscocity as you prefer.

[@LeeDee5]

with special guest reviewer: an ant!

[@royalfusion6277]

"Extra protien" xD

[@cookienekos]

make sure not to dirty those filming stones

[@sportandmusic6568]

Why idiots dislike this video??? 3 dislike wtf MRE video is the best would you do survival in the jungle please

[@ESSER68NJ]

chocolate and chili nice combo. lol :)

[@rre9121]

So I've been eating MRE's for a couple years now, and is it just me or is the gum the most horrifically terrible foodstuffs ever devised by man? It's fine for about 2.5-2.75 minutes, then it tastes like spackling and death.

[@75ur15]

Extra protein, no thank you

[@stevegrabke1320]

had one of these b4, LOTS of poopin 😕

[@lecou]

What the fuck is that sound

[@jordanchamberlain4377]

Akemix Universal that would be outside, you should try it sometime

[@lecou]

Jordan Chamberlain Ha ha, funny

[@jordanchamberlain4377]

Akemix Universal I'm really sorry man, I just cannot pass up sarcasm when I see it, lol. Look up Gray Catbird

[@masterb371]
