As a Canadian I'm pretty happy to see how well fed our boys are in the field. Especially compared to some of the other rations hes done. So many bare bare bones rations but Steve always appreciates IMPs.
Howdy folks, got a little late night double feature. This IMP 18 and a 2011 Swedish Survival Ration (Also with a vintage Swedish Survival Ration inside that review for comparison. So technically 3 rations tonight). Hope you all are doing well this Summer! June was an amazing month for filming, but a bit slow on the editing. Sometimes ya just gotta film when in the zone. So July is going to have a lot more going on. Israel, Turkey, WW2 rations, and more. So stay tuned! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this one. I really like the way it turned out.
It never ceases to amaze me as to how much material and packaging goes into a single meal ration for a Canadien or American MRE vs a 24 hour ration an Australian Army soldier.
Can we talk about how perfectly he balances that tray. Never once do you ever think he will drop it. Even when he takes one of the drinks off, perfectly balance. Nice.
‘Tomato ketchup, that’s cool, just a little pack of ketchup. [...] OH WOW, another pack of ketchup. That’s pretty generous.’ Watching a man enjoy packets of ketchup so much is heart warming. Thanks for the videos!
"It tastes like something you'd get in an elementary school cafeteria or a nursing home. It's pretty good." Steve is probably going to be the happiest old man in the nursing home.
Pro tip: Use both juice packets and over fill the drink pouch. Tastes stronger and gives you an extra boost. Also over fill the protein shake to get less chunks.
10:47 "hmmm, that has a very prevalent cafeteria flavor to it... it just tastes like something you'd get at an elementary school cafeteria... or like a nursing home. It's pretty good!"
I can imagine him doing this in a restaurant. When his food comes out, he just starts commenting on everything. Meanwhile, his companions just look at him like he’s crazy.
This is really Québecois comfort food. Any French-Canadian had a mother who cooked a "Pâté Chinois" and date squares. Ketchup really is necessary. At home you'd probably have homemade fruit ketchup. And you can totally heat the date squares, that how we eat them in my family with table cream or ice cream. The only things missing are a May West cake and a can of Pepsi.
1) The sport drink bag is great to put your cell phone in it, in case (when) you'll ger wet 2) I confim, even for soldier it's hard to get your hands on a ration heater when you need it
"Tastes like something you would get in an elementary school cafeteria or a nursing home. It's pure comfort food". Almost pissed myself. Made my night Steven. Love this $hit
LOL I have been stuck at home for 8 days now and binge watching RUclips. The "Pain" hamburger caught me by surprise, immediately thought of B.A. and was wondering if I really saw that or was losing my mind lmao!
"That's art right there." Plops jelly in pile in middle like a peanut butter smiling jelly eyed cyclops. "That's a steamer." man these are classic Steve
This is the first meal I’ve seen you eat that I involuntarily made an “mmmmm” sound 😂. This presents really well visually. I can imagine that would be so good for morale.
Love your videos! Thanks! I ate IMP's 3 times a day for 7 months as a Canadian soldier in Somalia. Kind of miss them. I do prefer the US MRE's though. More flavorful IMO.
Interesting fact, the French name "pâté chinois" or "Chinese stew" (rough translation) comes from the fact that ground beef, corn and mashed potatoes is what they served the Chinese workers who worked on the Canadian railroad. Also, Kit Kat is the most popular candy bar in Canada.
Thanks! I was wondering about that, I picked up that it might have meant "Chinese pate" and was really confused, if anything I'd have expected it to say "pâté Anglais".
@@SomeInterestingName it's very much a derivative of shepherd's pie but it's not quite the same. And it's much more a staple in Québec among French Canadians than the Anglo side of the country.
Hello, Mr Pedant here, I know your comment is 4 years old, but that's not going to stop me from pointing out that shepherd's pie is made with ground lamb, if it was ground beef, that would be a cottage pie.
"Of course it's going to be fine, this food is only a year old."
Things only Steve says.
MRE can last to 8 years idk about imps
#diyMATT they Last 80 years. I swear. But nowadays there’s to much toxic in the food
Apple Song it’s just a year old it’ll be fiiiiiiine

The way he deals with the shifting weight of the tray while he eat out of it as it sits in one hand is a true talent.
He likes a balanced diet.

You guys have good food, I was in the FDF and our food is so bad I gave away or threw away what they gave me, I ate cheapo ramen instead.

My favorite part of these videos is when he taps the spoon on the coffee cup, it gets me every time.

Survival situation for Canadian military is trying to figure out if you're supposed to pee standing up or sitting down.
That is a pretty solid IMP compared to what I had most of the time in the CF, that Kit Kat would have been gold out in the field!

2) I confim, even for soldier it's hard to get your hands on a ration heater when you need it

I think it looks pretty dam good for an mre
What kinda shepherd's pie you eating?
Fart on salads
Your videos have the odd effect of making me hungry, but at the same time motivated to hit the gym looking at your arms. Win win.
Of all the MREs I've seen, the Canadian MRE looks the best. From the outer packaging to the inner package, it's really neat and nice to see.
Me when Steve uploads almost 6 times in the space of one month: "that's pretty generous"
Joseph Archer Decadent
Delectable
"That's a steamer" and "this is an incredibly puffy pouch" is not the string of words I expected to hear today
Also,Its been a while since the words ''Botulism'' were uttered. Old school Steve1989
My all time favorite IMP is the turkey strips and orange sauce. It is a really good morale booster
I love your channel. You are the best ambassador for MRE's.
ahhh hearing the first “nice mmkay” in over a month is enlightening
Shepherds Pie.
Me: *"Where's the mashed potatoes?!"*
And it has beef
what do you mean shepards pie like always has beef lol
A usual Shepards pie consists of lamb but the "Cottage pie" witch is basically a sheparss s pie with beef, has just been known to be a shepards
IKR Shepard’s pie isn’t Shepard’s pie without potatoes
@@deltacomet5203 it has cubed potatoes did you guys even watch the video???
So, when Steve goes on a date, he asks her 'What MRE menu would you like?' Thanks for the reviews!

Imaging going to the movies with Steve, and he pulls out an MRE😂😂
I'd marry him on the spot
Id pull out an MRE aswell and ask if i can join.
Honestly I would ask if he had another one. Saves me money from buying popcorn and stuff.
