Whats Inside A Cold Weather MRE?

He can finally afford cocaine

Yeah for real, I've been watching for like 4 or 5 years and he's dropped a lot of weight. I remember one time he replied to a comment of mine "yeah, flex seal isn't very high in calories"

Regular mres can be hit or miss but the freeze dry ones are usually pretty good. And Tyler, lol, cold weather mres are made to be eaten HOT. Solders are always going to have a way to boil water ready at hand. Plus all those hot beverages would be amazing if you've been outside in winter for a week

[@shaneh7519]

Excuse my ignorant question. 1. Regular mres have a warming packet that heats the food, so both “regular” and cold weather mres are giving you warm food, no? 2. How do soldiers in the field have a way to heat water? Don’t they typically not start fires so the smoke and light won’t give away positions? Isn’t the point of the warming packet in regular mres to be a solution to that?

[@mikeybrown8258]

7 years in the Army and I was allowed to light a fire exactly ONE time in the field. It wasn’t for warmth, it was to try to kill the mice that were eating our food at night. If you can’t heat whatever it is that you want heated in your arm pits, in your underwear, or with the MRE heater, it’s not going to get warm.

[@ifadetogray]

I believe the caloric amount is higher for cold weather also, or more starch.

[@robertchandler7342]

@@shaneh7519 regular mres are made so they can be eaten warm or cold and there’s more than one way to heat water than a fire soldiers get creative an upside down fire is a good example of that

[@cubpak89]

Yeah no not always a way to heat up an mre fires aren't really allowed cause it gives positions away when down range. Sometimes we just gotta eat em cold and even with a heater in the package it don't always heat em up

[@coltonsmither9874]

Being in the Army and stationed in Alaska, I’ve eaten my fair share of these. After a few days in the field and those are all you have to eat when it’s -30 outside….they are amazing. But to just eat for fun…not so great. Also the winter and normal MREs are different because the winter ones have more calories due to your body burns more calories in the cold.

[@FabulosoSpray]

Thank you for your service brother!💪💪

Wainwright?

[@xandersiewers1234]

Know a Steven Oliver ?

[@taylorwillis5556]

Nope, they’re different because it’s freeze dried. Standard MRE’s would freeze from the water content, causing degradation of the food, and potentially compromising the packaging.

[@connorl114]

@@taylorwillis5556 Both of you are correct, you burn more calories in the cold due to shivering. That’s why the CW MREs have more food as well.

[@DarkAce1337]

Cold Weather MREs are all Freeze Dried, so you don't have to worry about it Freezing from the weather, there is also More calories in a cold Weather MRE,.. As for the hot water, Cold Weather ones do NOT come with a heater pack, If you are in a Situation where you are being issued these you will also be issued a Small Camping stove for your Fireteam (about 4 people) which you heat the water on,... We had to literally boil the snow to Cook out food

I wish more people were vets they would understand how good stuff is when you don't have it

Midweek Tyler shenanigans! Made my day!

[@bwc1976]

I love how tastes and smells bring back memories of a specific year for you. I'm the same way. And I loved your rant about coffee, I have to be really desperate for caffeine before I'll drink coffee.

[@oehe]

If it's even relatively brown and has some sort of caffeine I will drink it especially in the field

[@kolby418]

That hot chocolate put him through 10 years of memories in the blink of an eye

[@LOOTSNEK]

Just a heads up boss I was station in fort wainwright ak, cold weather mres do not come with flameless heaters. At a certain temperature those are no longer usable. We heated water using the stoves or a random person in your unit that is highspeed and brought one then nifty survival heaters

[@danielfortune4589]

Nothing makes my week like a midweek Tyler posting

[@joseleusch386]

Cold weather rations typically have more food and hive a higher calorie intake because you burn more in the cold weather. I sad ally you’ll have mini stoves as well to heat up the water to cook those since it’s mainly freeze dried food. I enjoyed them when I did cold weather training in the Marines

[@karlmcgowan9375]

Is it true that you can use upa lot of calories just from shivering ?

[@connorhart7597]

Dude cold weather mres knock the regular ones out of the water by far. They have a chicken and rice one that's something I'd actually eat LOL. But the reason for the separate ones for cold vs hot, is that the pouches in the regular ones can freeze, expand, and pop, on top of it being an issue if you want food but it's frozen lol

[@connorhart7597]

Side note yes, we DO need coffee that bad lmfao, it doesn't taste as bad when it's below 30 in the middle of the night on a training mission

[@godchild69]

10 years of active duty and have never heard of a "cold weather" mre. Brown wrapper when it is hot, temperate, or freezing outside. And chicken Ala king or ham slice were the 2 best ones for different reasons respectively.

[@Fambrough05]

Like what most people were saying the cold weather MREs are made with higher calories because in cold weather you are burning more. The cold weather MREs do not come with the heater pouch but they can come with tablets that heat water up. I never had a cold weather MRE but I had my fair share of MRE when I was in. MRE are more for you to get the calories you need not for taste. That's why people just eat them really fast just to put something in you stomach.

[@skunky1-1]

I never had a cold weather mre until I was stationed in Alaska and they quickly became my favorites. I still have a box of cold weather's and I've been out of the army since 2019.

[@mtnman8783]

Best day of the week when Tyler uploads

[@jlj2169]

You’ve got a much more refined palette now that you’re a big time KZbinr/influencer.

[@andrewt9204]

A well made coffee is the best thing ever. If you don't really care for coffee, instant coffee is definitely not gonna do it for you. Regular drip machine won't be great either. Needs to be espresso, french press, or pour over. I do keep some instant coffee for chocolate milkshakes or hot cocoa though. But it's not good by itself, only for emergencies.

[@randomthingch1970]

i just FREAKING love everytime Tyler drink or eat something that is coffee or coffee flavored

[@blc.phototherapy]

Nobody eats an MRE by itself. Lol most of the time we swap items from other mres and mix it all together

[@connorwright7685]

Being in the maine corps for almost 4 years now, when we get mre's we are so happy because after bing in the field for multiple days all we had were mre's. They are really good when they are all you have but i dont think i will ever eat one just because. Id rather eat an mre than the stuff they serve us on base

[@Sequere-Nos]

The meal cold weather or MCW is a meal cold weather because everything has to be freeze-dried so that things can't freeze with having water in it before you eat. Also the heating element is packed separately.

[@Dukes3677]

Cold weather mres usually has slightly more calorie dense meals that handle cold better than heat in terms of expiring.

[@christiansmith6914]

Title says "what's inside a cold weather MRE" First thing he says is its sausage and eggs. Well that's all I needed to know. Imma head out now.

Idk what it is about Tyler, but he can do a video on literally anything and I would enjoy it.

[@NAHuebsch82]

Taste is secondary to useable fuel for your body and shelf life. I'm a 10yr vet eaten plenty of MREs. Trust me I didn't care and everything tasted good in that situation. Wish people would consider the alternative (bugs, weeds, plants maybe a rat) rather then judge an MRE on taste. THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A GORMET MEAL or even eaten outside a combat/survival/desperate situations lol.

[@IMDARKFIRE007]

It's an MRE...it isn't built for pleasurable flavors, it's built to keep you alive. In an emergency situation with no access to a store? All you need is a water source like a river or snow, a piece of clothing to filter it through, and a cup or camping kettle to boil it in on a fire....that's all you need for the MRE to work and sustain you. They get a bad wrap for something so useful.

[@jameshedrick605]

The freeze dried MRE's are usually pretty good. I keep some around for whenever we get a bad snowstorm and whenever the electric goes out

[@applesauceisgood32]

Tried a few random MREs out of curiosity, not bad to be honest, better than I'd have expected.

[@partizanforces3064]

Bruh you’d be issued a 16 ounce 1 pint canteen cup. So 1/2 canteen cup of hot water. Also you will be issued a stove for cold weather operations. If no stove is available you could start a small fire. Of course being careful not to alert the enemy. You could also warm it on the block of a running engine if you had to.

I'd like to see a coffee video, My favorite is lavazza Rosso in a mokka pot. French press is watery . Filter is dirty but ok. Instant is horrible but convenient. At a petrol station I asked the guy for a large espresso, he was taking ages swearing at the maching thinking it was broken ,lots of grinding and perculating going on , he filled up a pint paper cup with espresso, and apologized that it wasn't quite full. it was amazing ,I felt like I was going to have a heart attack .

[@ragingsloth6605]

1) it comes in bag what do you expect… 2) it’s not meant to be the best thing you’ve eaten. It’s supposed to be calories and energy. 3) we always have a way to boil water 4) they aren’t that bad. I’ve had MRES that were better than food I’ve actually paid money for in the civilian world

[@Devinthekiller]

Yeah, they are supposed to kinda suck. It's survival food, if you're really hungry, and in a bad spot. It will taste good then lol.

Breakfast MREs are notorious for sucking FYI. I'm not fancy, amd hot sauce fixes everything, so I never complained about any MRE lol.

Being in the Air Force for 5 years, I have had a few MREs and honestly I dont mind them. I actually knew a guy who would bring MREs to work and eat them as his lunch or even breakfast, just because he hated cooking. While I would not go to that extreme LOL, I do think that most MREs arent bad. Theirs a few of them though....that can and will put you on the toilet for a while...."Coughs" Chili Mac" "Coughs"

[@greydragon1115]

I never understood people that say they don't like coffee. Since I was in school every morning a cup with some breakfast. When I was in Uni I started drinking stronger "Fancier" coffee. I recently bought myself the coffee I drank as a child and had to throw it all away. It really does smell and taste like dirt. So maybe try stronger coffee? Seems to be a very big difference ... Or don't actually, it pretty much the same as alcohol. Nothing heathy from it. My point I was trying to make. The quality of your coffee determines if you are drinking dirt or coffee.

MRE's are designed to give you the calories needed. Cold weather MRE's have more calories, your body needs more calories in cold weather. MRE's aren't necessarily designed to taste good..

There’s always hacks to MRE’s. I’d say 4-5 ounces in the oatmeal and sit for atleast 5-10 minutes and you should get a better tasting not as slimy oatmeal
