Hey folks, this Spanish Individual Emergency Ration should be available through MRE Mountain shortly - and also he just expanded to the EU so all of you guys out in Europe can now buy from him and not pay an arm & a leg for shipping. Huge thanks to Carlos off MREinfo for acquiring these - it is a once in a blue moon opportunity as they are almost never available outside of the Spanish Armed Forces. Hope you enjoy this one and stay tuned I just filmed a perfectly edible and never before filmed WW2 ration that took me almost 5 years to locate. Coming out in the next day or two. See ya then!
Turrón is a typical Spanish Christmas sweet. There are different varieties, the 2 being classic, "hard" or from Alicante or "soft" or from Jijona, manufacturing sites. Both with almond base.
imagine if Steve opened 1 of these random mre's and found cocaine or 500$ inside on 1 hand he'd think wtf? and call the police on the other hand Jackpot!
Get one man! The box is the best part IMHO... I have a couple of them I keep them filled with the extras from rations I haven't consumed yet... Drinks, sweets and a huge load of water p. tablets XD
Hey, Steve, I've been watching your videos for about a year now and I absolutely love them. They're so well done and relaxed, it's like chilling with a buddy while he shows you this new thing they brought home. Keep them up and have an awesome day!
Hey Mr V, that's awesome man! Thank you for the kind words, and I hope you continue to enjoy these reviews. There is always a certain allure to seeing some neat rations that many haven't seen yet. Hope you have a great day too and see you around!
Congratulations! You just discover the amazing "turron", the white stuff with almonds, it's like a tradition here in Spain when christmas is near. Love your videos!
There is something that interests me, and I'd like to see Steve or someone else make an attempt on this project. Basically it would involve assembling one's own 3 day ration from off-the-shelf food products that are commonly available. I'd like to see a 2 or 3 day ration assembled and packed into a small plastic container, and a back up emergency ration. I will try this myself but I don't make videos and an no expert on nutrition. The idea behind this is for preppers and campers
There's several questions that must be answered here. 1) is the ration supposed to be packed just before the trip or are we looking at potential long term storage? 2) what's the weight limit? 3) are we catering to dietary restriction? If we're looking at some base level military style you'll likely have most of your protein coming from flat pack tuna and chicken. Sides might be limited to instant potatoes and noodles. Of course instant coffee and electrolytes are fairly widely available. Sweets would be candy or granola. Emergency rationing would be candy and granola. Maybe sneak in some jerky.
Living so close to you makes me want to carry around an MRE and a tray everywhere just in case I see you so I can be like "HEYYYYYY LETS GET THIS OUT ON A TRAYYYYYYYYYY"
I love this emergency ration because it really give the vibe of a 45-55 Us pilot ration. Tin can, hard candy, the color and wrapping. Nice job with the video Steve. Alright, see ya next time.
Yo, Steve! Man, my wife and I love your videos. I’m not too sure how I came across your channel, but dude, we look forward to any new video, and are currently playing catch up on the oldies....we’re relatively new viewers/subscribers. Great work, man!
It almost looks like the kind of stuff your mom puts in a big platter on Christmas here in Spain: those protein bars look like “mantecados”, some candy, that delicious turrón de Alicante... Feliz Navidad, Spanish soldiers :)
And it is really good as emergency food . Lot of healthy fats ( almond ) , protein ( egg white ) , and sugar . It lasts a lot without refrigeration too.
Spain is a huge producer of almonds (per capita, the biggest producer worldwide) so it's unsuprising there's a lot of almonds in the food. It's nice that continues through to the ration packs
Awesome review! Huge thanks to Carlos for scoring these and Eistee for helping secure them. It was a team effort. What a well thought out emergency ration. Has to be one of the best out there. Purpose built but also flexible to many survival situations. Small, light, but with quite a lot of calories plus the ability to have a small pot for water, and more item variety than just wheat bars or something. Thanks for the great video! Enjoyed it very much.
Steve1989MREInfo Hello Steev! I love your channel and I find it very funny when you get a bad component and you eat some of it anyway. The funniest review I think was the 1975 Coast guard ration when you fought with some chocolate for 4 minutes.
Steve when I first subscribed to your channel I love it and I still do you do great videos you do amazing things thank you for all you do and you And the amazing videos that you make I truly appreciate it Steve makes my day it doesn't feel like a full day unless I've seen some of these great videos that you make thank you Steve thank you very much
As a survival ration you wouldn't think it'd need to be anything too great, but it's nice that they kinda made it very interesting and fun. It'd be a big morale boost to open up something like that cola syrup or all those little almond chocolate bars.
im instantly like your videos before starting watching it, because i know the next following minutes are completley enjoyable. thanks steve, greets from germany
Love your vids man, been following you for a couple of years now and I still watch every one of your videos as soon as they pop into my feed. Cheers Steve.
Oh hey I remember you from your avatar picture of Keenan from Good Burger! You have been an early follower indeed. Thanks man ! I got another one aimed to be released sometime this weekend. Take care & see ya around!
Always look forward to your videos Steve, always plenty of useful info. As a Spaniard, I always look forward to the Spanish Armed Forces episodes. Keep up the great work.
I would say that this Spanish ration pack PACKS A PUNCH! I can't believe that there is so much in there. That would do me for 24 hours and I eat a lot. Thanks Steve
I don’t know if anyone mentioned it or not but that concentrated Coke as you call it would also double to combat nausea. Coke syrup was an old school tool used up until the 80’s to soothe a sour stomach when experiencing nausea. Worked great, I remember my grandmother having a supply on hand that she got working in the hospital when I was a kid.
I wonder what would happen if you just mixed the cola paste with water? Seems like a good way to stretch it out and encourage you to drink more water. My preference in emergency type rations are things like bullion and instant soups. You consume more water, and the hot and savory flavors are really satisfying, especially if you're stuck on a cold and rainy mission.
I tried it myself with this ration, it's pretty bad either way, it's the most mouth-punching strong, sour, bitter cola flavor you could possibly imagine.
I agree. Except emergency life raft rations. When stranded at sea, I would want things that do NOT contain salt or promote thirst. Plenty of carbs like sugar/candy. No proteins, that's a no-no! And desalination tablets.
Important sugars. You think we need a balanced diet and you are right but in a survival situation you need sugars, carbs and water. Coffee helps keep your digestive system in balance. Almonds are a good source of protein and carbohydrates.
Did you know that the white almond bar with the slim white cookie that looks like paper is actually a christmas sweet we only eat at christmas? It's cool, because it seems kind of a gift.
Heheh that woulda been hilarious if they also tasted like almonds - imagine if you were allergic, Mumzly! Would be a real bummer if ya really needed to eat.
I sure do enjoy your videos! Your a handsome young man and you really seem to get into them MRE's which is fun to watch! I always look forward to watching you.Keep up the good work. I've tried to watch a couple of the other RUclips folks who do MRE video's but they just don't have the same fun personality as you do. Your a pleasure to watch!
I just recently started watching your channel and I have to say I greatly respect the way you conduct your reviews like a gentleman without mean-spirited remarks, and yet it seems that your positivity and enthusiasm are always genuine. The most negative thing I've heard you say yet was to pleasantly state, "That's just not very good" in the poutine IMP. I look forward to watching many more of your videos in the future. Your positive attitude and pleasant voice are good for the soul. Keep up the great work.
If you're Spanish, you usually are pretty good with almonds. Almonds are everywhere. And the Cola gel... well, let's just say there's 2 things to drink in Spain. Wine and Cola.
One of the first times I watched one of your videos and you stirred your drink with your spoon, I thought the audio whacked out a bit when you tapped your spoon on the glass. After a couple more I picked up on it be intentional. At this point, it makes me smile each time you tweak the audio to get a different sound each video. The video quality has also really improved since you first started reviewing MRE's. Keep up the awesome content!
This is my first visit to your channel, but definitely I'll be back, coz one of the things I must value is the respect you show with each MRE. Congrats
That almond nugget bar that you are eating is Turrón! A typical Spanish sweet, really popular and massively eaten during Christmas time. There are different types of it, you've just tried the 'hard' version of it. You can also find soft version called Turrón blando. I recommend you trying it, I think it will be a great boost for any ration.
@@Stinger913 No creo que tenga traducción. El turrón es una gran barra dulce (de chocolate, almendras, sobretodo almendras jajaja) que se come en navidad.
steve's channel popped up out of nowhere on my recommended and i have been watching for maybe the past week or so now i like them they are oddly satisfying
I live in Spain and I kinda died when I saw the content. The people over here love chocolate so much that they eat it even on breakfast. And that turrón? Sugar, sugar and only sugar in that pack. Also that Almond is highly beloved flavor over here.
Porque es una ración de emergencia, se toma para meterte hidratos y azúcar. Después de una caminata de 20km con una mochila de 50 kg, no te preocupes, que no vas a engordar
Hombre a nosotros nos lo dieron . No llevaba lo.mismo exactamente ,pero era para llevar en el fondo de la mochila por si algún día hacia falta "emergencia'". Osea que hasta que terminó mi servicio militar no lo abrí.
Somebody who is not a lazy bum like me should grab like him tapping his spoon on cup from like 20 of his videos and compile them all together and make a song.
Having one of these tonight--- Ensalada campara [country salad], Judias con Chorizo [sausage & white beans], and Magro de certo Cocinado [pork pate]. Looking forward to it.
The zoom during the perfect coffee pour was food porn. Well excecuted. Your editing is steadily getting moire entertaining! Thanks for the vid! Looked like a good MRE!
To comment on the "not overly palatable" part I have insight which may add to the conversation. For the US MRE it is doctrine and told that if you cannot eat everything to try and eat a little of everything for each component is balanced (like the treat portion gives you daily sugar or the main gives you daily protein etc.) this is too try and give you the nutrients you need. However, for survival ration not a daily ration the opposite is required; the goal would be to give you the minimum you need to survive so that you can continue and even ration the components to last as long as possible. For this reason I think both the spanish emergency ration having a common theme of flavor (almonds) is ingenious and well planned so the individual in borderline starvation does NOT eat everything in one sitting. There would be multiple reasons for this again trying to stretch the calories, as well as if facing starvation eating everything at once could induce purging burn through the supplies cutting off the length of survival etc. When comparing MRES and rations of any sort I really love to compare and contrast them but taking into account task and purpose of each for not all MREs are equal but the reason they are not changes so when how or why they are not the same changes. I really appreciate your insight and like to watch along and think about the possibilities/ use for all these rations. Needless to say the emergency ration is one of the most thought out ones I have ever seen and am itching to acquire one for my backpacking kit. I love and think the spanish rations as a whole are the best or at least one of the best ever designed. Highly recommend at least one maybe two in any kit theres redundancy and needless repetition in bulk but having one or two would go a long way if your backpacking and faced a survival situation or had to expand your trip by a week or so unplanned.
I like how Steve just has a 'standard spanish ration stove' lying around
Didn't he place the mineral bar on the right, and the energy bar on the left?
He mixed those up lmao

Dustin O'Connor i also thought of doing this
How did it go?
There's several questions that must be answered here.
1) is the ration supposed to be packed just before the trip or are we looking at potential long term storage?
2) what's the weight limit?
3) are we catering to dietary restriction?
If we're looking at some base level military style you'll likely have most of your protein coming from flat pack tuna and chicken. Sides might be limited to instant potatoes and noodles. Of course instant coffee and electrolytes are fairly widely available. Sweets would be candy or granola.
Emergency rationing would be candy and granola. Maybe sneak in some jerky.

The almond with "paper" is called turrón and its a typical spanish Christmas sweet
And it is really good as emergency food . Lot of healthy fats ( almond ) , protein ( egg white ) , and sugar . It lasts a lot without refrigeration too.
Typical in Italy, too; my Italian aunt always sent us a box at Christmas. Seems there was a notation on the box that the "paper" is edible.
I have never seen this emergency ration before. Great review.
Thanks Art! This one was a somewhat uncommon opportunity.
Spain is a huge producer of almonds (per capita, the biggest producer worldwide) so it's unsuprising there's a lot of almonds in the food. It's nice that continues through to the ration packs
How much almonds do you want?
Spain: Yes.

This is my first visit to your channel, but definitely I'll be back, coz one of the things I must value is the respect you show with each MRE. Congrats
That almond nugget bar that you are eating is Turrón!
A typical Spanish sweet, really popular and massively eaten during Christmas time. There are different types of it, you've just tried the 'hard' version of it. You can also find soft version called Turrón blando. I recommend you trying it, I think it will be a great boost for any ration.
The crunchy almond bar is a typical spanish crhistmas desert. Turrón duro we call it, its pretty good
te compras una barra de turron y te ahorras la lata , las bolsas , los cubiertos , los caramelos reciclados de la cabalgata de reyes.....
Mateo Rodriguez Strong Turrón? Lol qué significa “Turrón”. Que se traduce?
@@Stinger913 No creo que tenga traducción. El turrón es una gran barra dulce (de chocolate, almendras, sobretodo almendras jajaja) que se come en navidad.
Awesome double upload!
Hope it starts your weekend right man!
Steve’s the kind of guy to crack open a soda and announce it had a nice hiss to everyone in the room.
These videos are so interesting and calming. I like his approach on doing these things, making them informative but still weirdly charismatic.
steve's channel popped up out of nowhere on my recommended and i have been watching for maybe the past week or so now i like them they are oddly satisfying
I live in Spain and I kinda died when I saw the content. The people over here love chocolate so much that they eat it even on breakfast. And that turrón? Sugar, sugar and only sugar in that pack. Also that Almond is highly beloved flavor over here.
Porque es una ración de emergencia, se toma para meterte hidratos y azúcar. Después de una caminata de 20km con una mochila de 50 kg, no te preocupes, que no vas a engordar
@@Benjamin-tm3yu ya ves
Sin comentarios...
Y que esperaban los arreos para hacer una paella? Ración de E M E R G E N C I A. Se que que si no lleva hamburguesas se les cortocircuita el cerebro.
Hombre a nosotros nos lo dieron . No llevaba lo.mismo exactamente ,pero era para llevar en el fondo de la mochila por si algún día hacia falta "emergencia'". Osea que hasta que terminó mi servicio militar no lo abrí.
Somebody who is not a lazy bum like me should grab like him tapping his spoon on cup from like 20 of his videos and compile them all together and make a song.
Does anybody else notice when he stirs his drinks it makes a musical tone?
You rock Steve! You always manage to make watching MREs the most radical thing ever. Thank you for your reviews!
Hey Steve! Just for you to know, the white almond bar is what we call "turrón" a tipical snack we eat on Christmas. Keep on with these videos!!
There should be a video where you look at a snake and say "nice hiss"!
😂😂😂🤣👏👏
That broth is probably used to flavor wild game or whatever you can find to eat.
actually goes great with rabbit
Soon as I saw the notification for another Steve vid I just had to click. Love your videos! Nice!

New MRE video, woohoo!
Glad to get two new ones out for you guys today. Oh & happy Friday!
I think you meant to say "Nice!"
Many thousands of us were waiting with great anticipation.
The zoom during the perfect coffee pour was food porn. Well excecuted. Your editing is steadily getting moire entertaining! Thanks for the vid! Looked like a good MRE!
I gotta say I really do enjoy the older rations that you review. Seeing the way soldiers ate in the past is intriguing.
To comment on the "not overly palatable" part I have insight which may add to the conversation. For the US MRE it is doctrine and told that if you cannot eat everything to try and eat a little of everything for each component is balanced (like the treat portion gives you daily sugar or the main gives you daily protein etc.) this is too try and give you the nutrients you need. However, for survival ration not a daily ration the opposite is required; the goal would be to give you the minimum you need to survive so that you can continue and even ration the components to last as long as possible. For this reason I think both the spanish emergency ration having a common theme of flavor (almonds) is ingenious and well planned so the individual in borderline starvation does NOT eat everything in one sitting. There would be multiple reasons for this again trying to stretch the calories, as well as if facing starvation eating everything at once could induce purging burn through the supplies cutting off the length of survival etc. When comparing MRES and rations of any sort I really love to compare and contrast them but taking into account task and purpose of each for not all MREs are equal but the reason they are not changes so when how or why they are not the same changes. I really appreciate your insight and like to watch along and think about the possibilities/ use for all these rations. Needless to say the emergency ration is one of the most thought out ones I have ever seen and am itching to acquire one for my backpacking kit. I love and think the spanish rations as a whole are the best or at least one of the best ever designed. Highly recommend at least one maybe two in any kit theres redundancy and needless repetition in bulk but having one or two would go a long way if your backpacking and faced a survival situation or had to expand your trip by a week or so unplanned.
