  • Check out this New Zealand 24 Hour Ration. It was 100% fresh which is a surprise for being already 6 years old. An amazing MRE, with one of the best sets of main courses I have ever had in a thermostabilized retort pouch. The NZ 24hr ORP is top of the line.

    Here’s the thing: I love Steve’s channel. He’s enthusiastic about reviewing rations. He has a consistent format and great visual display. His added little touches like the musical stirring spoons and the snapshots of soldiers from the relevant countries complement the videos. But one element that is consistently impressive is that he does not hesitate to give a ‘shout out’ - and often an outright endorsement - of other ‘MRE review’ channels.
    Steve, you’re a prince among men.

    • @JD_79
      @JD_79 2 года назад +11

      Right. I think he's probably a genuinely nice dude.
      And I think he only cares about making quality content and getting enough $$$ to fund his next video (unless they are all demonetized for having military themes). He has a ton of subs and could make a fortune just spamming low quality videos but he never does that.

      He did it wrong, the seasoning cant even spread properly without water, its just the wrong way to do it.
      Add noodle
      Add seasoning
      Add water
      _______________
      And THEN you can remove the water afterwards if you want, but the other way arround is just airy and not much absorbation of that seasoning for the noodles

    Hey everyone, we're back with this 2011 NZ ORP. This ration was incredibly fresh for being 6 years old. Storage conditions mean everything.
    Kiwi Dude had originally sent one of these to me earlier this year - but customs here in the U.S. removed the two mains from it. These things happen sometimes, unfortunately.
    So James out in New Zealand sent two NZ ORPs out - and I reviewed this one and RC Gusto now has the other. Thanks so much both to Kiwi Dude and to James from NZ for making this video happen!
    Check out Kiwi Dude's MRE Review channel here: ruclips.net/user/KiwiDudeMRE For anyone who somehow has not seen his videos - you gotta give him a look and subscribe. He has made some of the best MRE Reviews ever made. True classics!

      To the fact that it is the closest to perfect setup for this type of content, it is actually pretty easy and fun to do and create, thats why you add things like this spoon dinging and other stuff, this is nostalgic, moralic entertaining. He knows what he does.

  • @KremitNZ

    This is a ration pack from when I was in the NZ army and you definitely got the best one (there were 4 different packs from my memory). So much nostalgia there. Was great trading for the vegatable tagine because people couldn't handle the lack of meat.

  • @TheSpecialLion

    As a Kiwi, I have been *waiting* so long for your perfect take on this! The Aussie pack just wasn't right.

    Hey Steve, just a heads-up in case you ever try this ration again, or if you ever come across the Maggi 2-minute noodles. You add the flavouring sachet into the water while it's cooking, and you eat it as a soupy noodle. It's super yummy, and is basically similar to the breakfast beef soup you had.
