Expected it to contain a short sword for harakiri, for the shame of failure by having your boat sunk.

[@kevstermeister4662]

The Morning Star you made my day

[@drdnout]

Harakiri also known as "sepukku".

[@DenseCortex]

Anybody else like to eat while they watch these videos, particularly comfort food?

[@koltinn]

send it to steve he'll eat it

[@johnmagus6341]

Hahaha, for sure.

[@ben-chan420]

DO IT

[@nospymebitch]

Koltin Nilam yes steve Is a superhero :V !!!

[@maxwellbuhler8493]

he did it it

[@staticpurple1182]

Koltin Nilam he eats everything 😂

[@Eurotrash4367]

The music at the beginning is Chinese, not Japanese.

[@boulder89984]

No hiss! We're doomed!

[@Velakaden]

This is my very first video I run into your KZbin channel. Excellent video my friend!

[@fetidcreeper]

Agar agar is a thickening agent, kind of like corn starch, xanthan gum, arrow root etc. You use different agents depending on how you're preparing the food. Like if you're boiling liquid you want to thicken to a syrup, you would use arrowroot and water in a slurry while it is boiling. You would use xanthan gum for a cooler mix. etc.

[@lancerevell5979]

Agar is generally derived from seaweed. It is used in science in petrie dishes, for microbial work.

[@severs1966]

Some lovely pics of British lifeboats there

[@NathansMRE]

That is what google gave me for (Japanese life boats) dont know why there was so little info on anything Japanese involving lifeboats on google

[@cheesegromit9423]

damn dude you cant blame google on fucking up do your research .

[@ForeignMRE]

That was an awesome ration. We really enjoyed the lifeboat ration., Great review Nathan.

[@NathansMRE]

Glad to hear that thanks for watching

[@mihir2607]

as far as I know agar agar is used as suspension culture for bacteria to grow into basically acts as food and home for bacteria we prepare it in lot of our tests after you add some luke warm water the powder becomes jelly like substance

[@HistorySavior1941]

Very cool brother!!!

[@mary9472]

Awesome ration one I have never seen before.

[@nicholsliwilson]

Japanese lifeboat ration, Japanese style opening music, images of British RNLI lifeboats. Love it! :D

[@NathansMRE]

Gotta love google images

[@gingin4471]

I think the music sounds more like Chinese though 😂

[@pushansengupta7045]

music was most definitely chinese :D

[@Seawolf.Gaming]

You have some unique Rations that I have yet to see on other channels, you get a Sub.

[@olmatedropbear7862]

Very cool ration! Agree it would have been good a lot more fresher... But now just seems nasty! LOL Keep up these awesome rare reviews mate 🙂

[@fortunateson6070]

what's funny is this is 1979 and the japanese to english translation is decent. It's 2018 and the chinese still don't have it figured out.

[@insertnamehere001]

It would be neat if you tried new, non-expired ones, I wonder what they'd be like.

[@EzraelVio]

Okay.. how rare it is and why i remembered finding one in my grandparents living room cabinet a few years ago. If my memory is still good, i found it half open and someone tried to seal it back with duct tapes (and it didnt work), the plastic is gone but i remember the content (specificlly the cereal) has gone black, or atleast a few of em has since i only open couple of the top one, didnt even bother to check the rest since it thought its all the same.

[@Astinsan]

The White powder is aluminum oxide. Yeah package was obviously open to the elements as you mentioned in the beginning.

[@themonkeyhand]

Agar is basically like(is?) a gelatin. It's often used in labs as the base for petri dishes but also used in food production. BTW what are you filming on top of, the surface looks beautiful. The knife is making me nervous.

[@pteppig]

Why is a cutting tool making you nervous?

[@tomrisar5492]

The table cover looks good, what is it? Looks like tooled leather but probably vinyl.

[@1fanger]

I remember my mom talking about Japanese postcards having powder residue on it.

[@nataliestory2614]

Agar agar is a jelly substance derived from algae. Used in food, science (think Petrie dishes) and pharmaceuticals.

[@GreatSageSunWukong]

Natalie Story its like gelatin, they've been eating it for years, because its vegetarian the monks started it, its from seaweeds and I think I'm right in saying it has the advantage over gelatin of not only not being basically boiled down animal waste products but not melting, i believe its spost to maintain itself as jelly like to a much higher and lower temperature so more suited for use as jelly in very hot countries

[@DenseCortex]

Natalie Story Chocolate agar, yum...

[@nestorbitang6980]

agar agar is carrageen

[@BeastxInxBed]

At school we used it to raise microbiological creatures like bacteria, it's a good medium to grow them on.

[@jacobsparry8525]

Natalie Story YOU are exactly correct, you get a 🍪 cookie

[@whiterunguard.gatepost]

Might be nice to put the BGM in description. Nice review btw. That container can be reused though

[@kimkris21]

Maybe the white powder was cornstarch or something to keep the bar from sticking?

[@Belvedere1981]

After watching Steve there is no other.

[@DavidPilcher83]

i have to be honest with ya. steve1989 is like one of my most favorite MRE review guys out there. i think hes freakin awesome. and will try just about anything i watched him try some beef MRE once that was pre world war I. the fact that you tried this even though it could have got you sick, and that you do a lot of awesome stuff.plus the fact you are just as awesome...... my respect for you has now become equal to steve. so great job buddy keep up the good work and i hope someday you are able to read this comment. cause i am a year late on this video. but Ehhh...... either way great job man.

[@NathansMRE]

Thank you for watching David

[@sameast8620]

That white powder as you call it is probably crystalised salt as it's been in contact with sea water.

[@nobodyfresh13]

You have amazing frame rate. Felt surreal watching this.

[@NathansMRE]

Thank you for noticing, this is shot in 2.7k at 60fps, over exposed with 6.5k led lighting and darkened down in editing to keep clarity, glad you enjoyed it does take a long time to upload but I feel its worth it, and as you know tis is done with a GoPro hero 5

[@srgfkct3544]

gotta love an ad a minute into the video

[@NathansMRE]

Be sure to watch it I need that .000001 cent to buy rations with

[@oldbaldfatman2766]

April 16, 2018---Thanks for an interesting video, but makes me wonder what todays lifeboat rations are like or do they even carry them any more? And would some sort of water filter like a Life Straw be part of it or would that be a separate item on the life raft?

[@lancerevell5979]

Lifeboat rations are basically like a dense cake or shortbread.

[@kjonesy4142]

Salmonella sandwich! Thumbs up for taste test & description...👍

[@CuteLesbo69]

You are a brave man.

[@YOOBEAR]

You've been finding some really good stuff lately keep it up

[@secondhandguru3558]

It's Called A.M.O.R What does the acronym mean? If I may ask?

[@YOOBEAR]

Ms.DeViL 2U The AMOR thing in my name?

[@secondhandguru3558]

It's Called A.M.O.R Yeah, is it not an acronym?

[@jacksonteller1337]

Agar-Agar is an animal based gelatin used for petri dish cultures mainly.

[@josephvanas6352]

the packaging is probably alumanized mylar or something similar. The white powder in that case may be aluminum oxide from the coating corroding and breaking down

[@emeraldshellions]

Agar-agar is like the jelly you get from seaweed, and used in tons of stuff actually

[@braden_n54]

Haha I watch all your bmw videos and I stumbled onto this , I'm like this sounds like Nathan from Nathan's diy garage and what do you know haha.

[@NathansMRE]

I live a double life if you didn't know lol

[@thra5herxb12s]

All those Ocean Liners the Indians break up on the shore must have quite a few interesting rations on the lifeboats.

[@KahlestEnoch]

Cool nice to see a rare one like this. The packaging of the cereal bars at least look like it is in much better condition than the jelly bars. That jelly bar does not look appetizing at all. LOL send a couple of those to Steve1989. He seems to be the Mikey of MREs, Give it to Steve he will eat it he eats everything lol. Cereal bars yum rancid fats and rancid vitamins. Great review thanks.

[@nicholsjoshua15]

Steve is a true American hero!

[@KahlestEnoch]

Yes he is

[@susanolson3611]

Joshua, he's a true American hero because he eats rancid food?

[@KahlestEnoch]

Susan Olson, no he is a true American hero because he has served our country and fought for our freedoms. He just so happens to eat rancid food. He also catalogs and documents these old rations that there are no written records of contents.

[@susanolson3611]

Kahlest Enoch, I am not trying to belittle your hero, it just irritates me when someone leaves a comment on this channel talking about how great Steve is. Every time Nathan doesn't eat some wretched piece of garbage, there is a comment about how Steve would have munched it right down. I am tired of reading that comment and I bet Nathan is too.

[@drewgazmik1618]

You shooting in 120fps? Looks smoother than 60fps

[@daisydippy9793]

Lol we used to use agar agar at school in chemistry and biology lessons its that jelly like stuff you put on the bottom of a petrie dish to grow moulds and fungus on 😂

[@greylocke100]

Similar types of rations for lifeboats would be pre-packed in a collapsed inflatable life raft sealed in a weather-proof container. IOW, same type of packing this ration has but the entire lifeboat would be sealed at the factory. As long as the seal isn't broken on the raft, that type of packaging would be good for 3-5 years./

[@jphattie9748]

If I recall, agar agar is a gelatin type substance, fyi.

[@juliebaker6969]

Actually agar agar is an algae based gelatin, it is both natural and vegan. If the foil is made of aluminum the white powder is probably aluminum oxide. This is aluminum's version of rust and it is white in color.

[@aceofcheems7685]

You should do a review on seven oceans

[@Oakwood_1891]

Agar - Agar is a ingredient that works similar like gelatine. :)

[@adfmaxtango]

eso se come con agua caliente se disuelve y queda como sopa,es parecido al kurry y arroz compactado

[@JoannaIsMe1145]

Clorine doesn't actually have a smell to it. The smell comes later after urine is mixed in from the many people swimming while peeing in the pool water.

[@thomasshelby1890]

my name is also nathan and i also love mres

[@RAN20097]

Agar agar is the vegarian version of gelention so it must be a gummy treat.

[@shanghi77]

Agar Agar is a plant use as a thickener in many Asian deserts

[@ss-oq9pc]

Did you feel even a little strange after eating those bits? Most expired thing I've ever had was bread that was months past. Had a horrible after taste that I suspect was the preservative chems going wrong inside.

[@RainFeatherYT]

"smells like it will kill me if i eat it" takes a bite any way

[@RavenVargas27]

Dude I salute you, you have great courage some of that stuff looks gross

[@GetHumanized]

was I the only one that thought this was going to be a portable life raft that fits in your pocket?...

[@dreem1walker]

Ok .. eating in a lifeboat .. without fresh water .. what a bright idéa of them.

[@littlebiscuits]

I like your knife.

[@jacobishii6121]

agar-agar is seaweed based gelatin.....japanese eat agar jelly products flavored with various flavors like red sweet bean called yokan

[@fixman88]

Wow, I've seen a lot of ration videos but never one where someone compared the taste of one to house paint! It makes you seriously wonder what chemicals they put in it.

[@gregsummers7350]

Nice Container at least, can be a baler to get water out of the boat.

[@001desertrat3]

Best ration , a bottle of Sake' & Rice Candy . LOL

[@soldtobediers]

Hey Nate; Reckon if they'd included a dozen fishin hooks & 50' of 50# test monofiliment line, it would go good for makin' flashy lures from the foil packaging. The dense ingredients look bland enough to get away with wettin' your whistle with a few teaspoons of sea water, without too much harm. Instuctions for utilizin' the clear plastic bag for a solar still, & using it, & the plastic lidded container for storing rain water, would have been a wise move as well. Enough leftover foil fashioned into a solar style cooking bag/oven, might insure killing the parasites found within most fish that were caught. -former recondo sgt. ''rock'' 82nd abn. '71-'74 Sound Strategies often insure that - ''You're best fight, is the one that never happened.'' 11218

[@NathansMRE]

You would at least need some spider wire not mono filament, it would stay good alot longer lol

[@saestuable]

the tube kinda like Kanebo cloth

[@nobodynowhere163]

Agar agar is gelatin made from plants instead of animal. Basically, vegan gelatin. I assume they used it because it'd keep better.

[@5argetech56]

I got 123456789 cookies in my ration pack, in my ration pack, in my ration pack.....

[@michaelvondrake7489]

WHAT!? No coffee!? 😁😅😂😅😁

[@EvenlyDay]

I think I heard that Japanese theme from Monster Hunter 3?

[@steavey301]

Agar Agar is a fruit and a good gelatin substitute

[@djspookyty]

I swear I heard the opening music in Wizard101 back in the day

[@BobbyIronsights]

Agar agar is a jelly derived from seaweed.

[@clobbermiron7337]

2:40 i didn't know that comic sans was that old.

[@clobbermiron7337]

well it looked like it to me

[@rjb91366]

Agar is clear gelatin made from seaweed

[@astronomicalacademia8567]

Give it to Steve1989 he’ll put them on biscuits and say it’s great 😂

[@lancerevell5979]

Steve cuts the foil...... "Nice hiss!" 😄

[@syizhar01]

Agar-Agar is jelly :)

[@MultiMagnum62]

Definitely A different ration. A shame on the age of it however. Great review as always!! Peace, John.

[@BurningLattice]

Hey Nathan, agar-agar is you basic gelatin.

[@g2macs]

Chinese music, British RNLI boats and Japanese rations. I guess one out of three 'aint bad

[@susanolson3611]

salmonella sandwich!! hahaha 😂😂

[@davemarx7856]

Smells like pool chemicals 😬 mmmmmm... tasty... Cool container though. And a nice pandering letter too 😅

[@ericlakota6512]

Haha i was thinking it was a life boat opps

[@michelebartholome7798]

agar-agare is a natural jelatin from seaweed

[@ChozoSR388]

'79, huh? Decent vintage, at least.

[@smashyabackdoorin]

Wow 79 I was still in me dads sack then and my mum would have been about 17 ha ha

[@craftycrafter1960]

Steve would have tried it 🤣

[@BAZZAROU812]

Steve will get that out on a Tray..Alright Nice...

[@meeliskr]

agar-agar is algae and source for marmalade :)

[@fizzykitten3208]

Cool and awesome video

[@freesaxon6835]

Agar Agar a gelling agent made from seaweed

[@Umbrellaoflove]

agar agar, I believe is gelatine❣️🇨🇦

[@tiocfaidharla251]

Agar is plant based gelatin.

[@Krawurxus]

I have a great idea for a non-spoil MRE on a lifeboat. It consists of a cleaver, a boning knife and a bunch of straws, one of which is shorter than the rest.

[@rustyshackleford9261]

agar-agar is just a vegan gelatin made from seaweed or algae or whatever I forget.

[@keithwhisman]

So it’s like eating a large moth covered in that creepy dust and that dust coating the inside of your mouth and teeth?

[@LZ2SM]

"It is a heavy Russian" XD

[@donaldparlettjr3295]

I thought a Japanese ration would be a fishing kit and sets of chop sticks and a fillet knife. They are set with raw seafood and seaweed.

[@BaltimoreGeorge]

Steve 1989 woulda ate the whole thing...!

[@samsworldofrations6996]

Great looking ration. Pity about content

[@Valhalla_Awaits94]

Actual question : Did WW2 Japanese kamikaze planes carry survival rations?

[@Jamal_Tyrone]

Agar-agar is used to make vegetarian/vegan jelly instead of gelatin from animal bones.
