Why is this MRE Sausage Patty Red?? Eating an MRE and Marines in Beirut story

[@Mjones8383]

If civilization ever collapses I'm finding Ace and his dad, because I don't think I'd go hungry and it will be tasty. Great video and stories. I'd like to see a video of just longer stories.

[@MeAncient]

You never know what we might come up with. Keep watching!

[@sleevelessace]

Even if they got no MRES me ancient can catch some lobsters all he needs are his 2 hands

[@adamgasper6752]

I love the stories and I love the fact you're able to enjoy the food.

[@MeAncient]

Me too, Adam. I like eating the food.

[@christinevenner183]

After the last couple of days I really needed this video. So nice to hear a story while watching an mre review. This made my day, thank you. :)

[@MeAncient]

I'm happy to have helped, Christine. TFW!

[@Talonthir]

So just a tip, when I had this one in the field I would split the muffin top in half and pour the syrup on each side and place the patty in between the half's and eat it like a McD's breakfast sandwich. Also the cardboard sleeve is used to stand the heater bag up. Fold one end closed, squeeze to open, insert heater bag and contents, set down on the folded end to heat up. Also the "main" bag is used as a trash bag for all of the internal components.

[@MeAncient]

Great idea, Kevin. If the dessert would have been good, I'd a done that and grabbed a pack of coffee from an earlier MRE or C Rat that I have left over and had me a lot better meal, for sure. TFW

[@criticalbo]

Another fantastic video sir. The stories are a highlight as well. I hope you never stop doing these. Thanks again for your service and God Bless. Semper Fi

Please tell my wife. She gets tired of hearing the stories since she was around when they happened. :-)

[@vvtli808]

Thanks to you and Asa for another great video and story! I spend way too much on MRE’s but seeing your enthusiasm and old school wisdom (I ain’t exactly young) is very soothing. You guys should make a video with all three of you.

Thank you Me Ancient. I am a recent subscriber. I enjoy your videos. I joined the Marines in 1975. In bout camp we had c rations from the Korean conflict. They had cigarettes as well as chocolate discs wrapped in foil in some of the B units. We had ham and eggs and believe it or not they were a favorite followed by canned peaches. Thank you for your continued service. Semper Fi!

[@tjlawrence2326]

I think they doubled down on protein with the peanuts and peanut butter due in fact that it had a grape electrolyte beverage instead of the chocolate protein powder beverage to sorta equal out the packs nutrient table. Looked delicious ill have to keep an eye out for that mre. For the story , it is always a great past time revisiting those times with you and anyone else who shares their stories. If there was more military presence I think rolling him in a sheet and giving him the old soap trick woulda payed off that debt and taught the lag a lesson. Lol great times all in all looking forward to the next one have a marvelous day

They fiddled around with the contents of the sausage patty MRE. One of the best components is a filled french toast pastry. Also, you sometimes get the hash browns added in and if you cut up the pattie and mix it in with the hash browns, you got some good eatin's.

Could you do something about the heavy brathing sound of the man who holds the camera? I mean no offence or bad, i just wanna point out that hes breathing and almost everything he does sounds very high,pretty sure cus hes the one close to the camera,maybe get another microphone? Sometimes the breathing and so high so you focus on hes breathing instead of the him who eats! Again, no offence,ive seen alot of comments who says the same. There is good microphones to buy for things like this! Very good video other then what i pointed out!

I might have said this before.... But when I was in the ARMY it seemed like every time I got an MRE it was Turkey, Diced, With Gravy. It was good the first dozen or so times. I've had 3 or 4 MRE's other than that and they were good too. I'm an MRE fan which might explain why I'm so interested. But I subbed for the good company.
