Your story about taking the intelligence test in the marines with Morse Code was so interesting! Especially the part about the FBI going so in depth on your background check. I love these types of stories
I honestly love these videos and the fact that you actually enjoy these MRes, people nowdays can be so picky, it's refreshing to see someone humble, that is thankful for something simple like this :D
When you consider some of the crap you have to eat while on active duty service you reset perimeters about what you will consider eating. It takes real grit to maintain food hesitations after such a life.
Im from denmark and that bread isn't cornbread its a wholegrain bread (danes are completely obsessed with wholegrain stuff its insane) cause korn in danish just means grain :)
Hello fellow dane 😃
What is this trickery
The Cornbread looked good
No one cares if you're a great dane.
Look at the desert tan packaging. It's cornbread made and packaged in America by Sterling Foods maker of many US mre items. Stop your bs
@@timspencer1856 well the packing says fuldkornsbrød wich means wholegrain bread in danish soooooo
This channel is such a breath of fresh air. Thank you for these videos. I love watching y’all’s father and son relationship. God bless you and you’re family.
These Danish rations are huge and can be a tough find. Nice of that fan to send it along... These don't normally come with any heaters or stoves.
This was a "FRYS" ration, which means freeze dried, so it wouldn't come with a heater. You always need to heat water yourself, for a FRYS ration.
A "WET" ration would include a heater. Which is why I like those better. Just easier.
@@appeltaartistheanswe The only Danish I have had was "wet" and it didn't have a heater. It was like a 2016. Are the heaters a new addition?
@@vipergtsmre I served in Sweden which probably is decently similar (our rations include several of the items in the video). Our wet ones were always handed out together with chemical heaters, however they were not included inside of the actual MRE.
@@Duckkyy_ nice! The only Swedish ration that I have is the Arctic version. I've been meaning to video that one for a very long time
When it's dehydrated food, there's no need for self heaters since hot water is added.
And if you put a very small pinch of salt in your coffee, it'll take the edge of the bitterness off.
An u need the heaters to heat ur water
@@shaunault7538 yes being able to heat the water is an absolute. Just not with the self heating heaters, as mentioned above. It would be so nice if all types of mre's come with at least matches and nesbits, even if self heaters were in the meal kits. I have had packs that was suppose to have the self heaters but none came with it, although it was listed. But yes, a way to heat water is an absolute need; even if only it would be matches to gather wood up where available....soooo, always carry at least a metal cup lol
@@stephanieroberts4474 Mre are for soldiers. And soldiers just cant make a fire when they are at war hence why the heaters is a MUST have
@@niklaslund2204 You were obviously never in the military before.
@@sunnythief3736 In these days making a fire like that would only make you appear on thermal and drones. Sounds like you didnt think it proper through
That was a huge ration!
The Danish military certainly look after their forces.
Its very similar in size to the Dutch 24hr, I have one stashed as both the Dutch and Danish rations are not easy to get, even for me and I'm in the UK.
Orifo make some of the best drinks and snacks imo.
It was so much fun watching you thoroughly enjoying everything (except the chocolate lol)
I loved the length of this video.
Brilliant vid as always :)
OrifO is a danish based company aswell. Which is also a reason for the danish rations to contain many of their products.
i read the part about chocolate as he ate the chocolate and it spooked me
Now that was a ration!! Nothing scary to try, just spiced differently than we are used to. I always look forward hearing your stories/memories. You and your son have such a nice rapport, respect, and love. Wholesome food eaten with wholesome guys.
Those danish mre never came with heat packs i had a similar 1 in the past and it also didnt have it.
Good to know. I won't wonder from here on out.
@@MeAncient Freeze dried food just requires hot water. When I was in the danish army, we all were issued one solid fuel burner to heat water over or like in my case, which was before these fancy freeze dried packages, we got a large can with the meal in it, that you would heat over the burner. We even had one stupid private who thought he was very smart and just put the can over the burner instead of emptying it out in his metal cup. No need to tell what happens with a closed can over open fire. We sure got a good laugh though when his Chicken Frikassé exploded all over him and he looked like a whole party had barfed on him :D
I didn’t know how interesting seeing different country’s MRE’s would be. Cool videos interesting stories from your past. I’d love to see you do a UK. As I have no idea what we’re feeding our troops in the field
Many of these stuff are also included in the german EPA.
greetings from Germany and thank you for the good videos :-)
I was arctic infantry in the army. Our cold-weather MREs are different than the normal MREs. There’s lots of drinks lots of soups lots of pastas and carbs. What people forget is you need a lot of extra carbs to stay warm, and an arctic environment is very much like a desert environment it’s just as dry it’s just cold. So everything that you were seeing and telling sounds pretty familiar to me.
I enjoy these longer videos, and how you separated the meals to breakfast, lunch and dinner. Great job! Also as Ace says at 28:53, they give you a Full 24 set up. Meals and snacks to get through the day!
That beats the hell out of the “dental stimulator” in the c-rats.
A good way to take out the bitterness of coffee is to add a little salt surprisingly enough. 1/8 of a teaspoon salt and then add your desired sugar and milk. We used to get growing coffee for the industrial coffee maker at work, it would make 1.5 gallons of coffee per package and we were told adding salt to taste would take away the bitterness. Tasted so much better. It works out to basically a large pinch of salt per 8oz cup
We have the same in Sweden but we don't have a toothbrush but you have got a vegetarian dishes we have both. We don't have hot bags for freeze-drying, we have an Optimus Crux Tactical military kitchen with both gas and alcohol burners so we boil water in the field, the things you got left over we have as a snack between meals or you save them for the next day when you get a new one with breakfast. lunch. dinner//Anders
Now that's a meal. Still loving those stories you add. Great video sir!
Really enjoying your videos! The combination of commentary and anecdote is fantastic. Please continue with your videos as they are both enjoyable and highly informative. Kia kaha! Much love from NZ.
He always has passion and joy whenever he opens these mres
Always loved watching mre openings an loved watching ace an his fathers videos so finding ace an his dad doing mre pack openings is awesome
I cant stop watching MRE videos this is addicting. Also you are quite the story teller.
Love the vids. Keep them coming!
The cranberries taste like cranberry. The raisins taste like raisin..... The Schnozzberries taste like Schnozz. 🙄😄
Love your videos. Keep them coming? You're awesome.
Thanks for bring us along for this 24 hour Ration. Very impressed.
I just found your channel! You two seems very humble and im looking forward to more MRE tests. You should invest in a electric kettle, it would be so much easier than the big ol pot :)
Greetings from Sweden.
Electric kettles are a game changer. They just make everything so much easier.
2nd viewer great 1 bud
Thanks 👍
Fun! I took my sons camping with MREs. We all enjoyed them quite a lot. Thanks for your service, by the way! My dad was NAVY from 67-89.
Amazing ration, and once again great setting!
well for a northern mre most of this makes sense to me as a swede. Raspberry grows wild like crazy in certain areas up here and winter we get like 6 hours of sunlight actually even less up in sweden so all the vitamins are a must. Lemon is more or less the standard run of the mill cheap tea around here tho i prefer lady grey and earl grey they are classics for a reason.
Man I love the story’s I could seriously listen all day to them and I love the MRE videos those are my favorite and I love your son ace’s channel love the catch and cooks
New to this channel and love the content !
Love your videos. And aces channel. You are both awesome
We have about 20 humming birds that come around our place here in AZ. And surprisingly we have a select few that stick around and all year.
Great videos guys.
I'm a new viewer, I just realized that this was a new video. I've enjoyed your videos the past few days
I'm a new subscriber and I'm so glad to be here.
I love hearing your stories.
I'm happy to share them, for sure. TFW
@@MeAncient thank you for your service! Pray for my son, Seth, who is active USN stationed in Guam aboard the submarine, USS Springfield.
Really cool yall do this. Keeps us in the know of what to get or not get. Thanks guys. Stay frosty
Cold weather MREs are known to have a lot of liquids. That way soldiers are not getting dehydrated. As well as having low sodium menu's to help prevent dehydration.
That's not a cold weather ration, there's nowhere near enough calories. Put half a pound of boiled sweets in there and you'll be close.
Another awesome mre and a good story, thanks Me Ancient 🙂
Sure beats eating crayons eh? lol just messing around man, great channel. Army vet here and never miss!
Hello from Clarksville Arkansas. I got my ham radio license in 1976 so I've enjoyed using morse code for more than a few years. Nice review, and thank you for sharing, and for your service to our country!
Steve, cool about your Morse Code use. So are were you specially trained or are you an autodidactic? TFW, btw.
And I thought of the hazelnut spread I had last year when we went to Colombia for a mission trip. A young gal that was there sharing the Gospel with us had bought some hazelnut spread swirled with a cream and let me tell you what, it was like a divine moment. I've not found anything like it here in Idaho. I like hazelnut spread, but it's a bit too thick. With the cream with it, it leveled it out wonderfully. Lol.
There is a similar snack in Puerto Rico. It comes in a small container and has a little plastic spoon to scrape it out of the container. It's so good and a memory from my childhood.
Agreed
Number one ☝️
Great stories...Always wished I could've joined. I tried but the doctors said I was pdq and so that was that. Thanks for the uploads.
When I enlisted into the Airforce (1976-1980), I heard later from my parents and neighbors, they had been questioned by the military about me. I was an Avionics Tech working on fighter aircraft. Second hitch (1980-1986)I switched to the Navy. Never heard if anybody got questioned again, I was an Electronic Tech working on radios and crypto gear, and got a Top Secret clearance.
Never ate MREs, but did eat some C-rats a couple times. I discovered MREs years later. Some Ilike, some I don't. I've yet to try foreign rations.
I've had occasion to view a number of your videos. Overall it seems MREs are light on vegetables. Is that troops won't eat their veggies or is it that the nutritional value doesn't justify the weight? I was surprised this Danish MRE didn't have a meat/protein, possibly some type of preserved fish. Your thoughts? PS: I love the way you subtly share your faith by praying before eating.
There's vegetables but fiber isn't always your friend. Most vegetables are pureed or juiced.
Possibly...a vegetarian menu?
Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰 👋 thanks for sharing
1 of the best videos yawl made but am I the only one that got freaked out by the Google commercial with that woman 😂😂😂
Great video 👍
I like this MRE. It would feed me for two or three days. Thank you for sharing. 🙃☕❤
Keep up the good work 👍
I'm from the South a small country town and that is one of our favor signature drinks which is brewed sweet tea or brewed sweet tea with lemon added both are served on ice
Me ancient keep them coming I love all of your videos I can't wait for the next one
Those hummingbirds.. Sad yet beautiful somehow.
Very interesting. I don't like pasta, but the rest sounds very good. The idea with the fruit is fantastic.
Do you like bread? Cuz it's the same
@@niklaslund2204 I eat mostly whole grain bread. I will eat lasagna occasionally. It just seems like empty calories to me.
@@Robert_Sparkman_01 You should try some proper danish ryebread
@@niklaslund2204 Are you Danish? Do you know about Kringle? I used to live in Kenosha Wisconsin..nearby is a city, Racine, that has Kringle...it's basically their whole business...O&H Danish Bakery.
@@Robert_Sparkman_01 Yeah i am. Yup i've heard the name before. Tho we danes have banned alot of things the us are able to use. So might not be the same since ingridients will be quite different
Love the prayer 🙏 before chow only southern people do and by the way I joined usmc mos 6174 out of high school and I'm from little Rock Arkansas also and found my wayback here semper fi
Best one yet.
American: Everything is noodles.🤣
The rest of the world: There´s noodles (East Asia), and there´s pasta.👍
Good review btw and keep ´em coming, mate!💪
Me Ancient says salt bae eat your heart out. 😂. Great videos man.
Great review. That looked like an all around good ration. No way you would go hungry with it. Beats the heck out of our U.S. MRE's.
The 24hr rat pack/ORP isn't quite the same thing as MREs, they're mostly COTS items and the user is expected to have cutlery, esbit stove or whatever, and just shove whatever they need for e.g. a patrol into their webbing as needed. Ironically with the way the US military actually uses MREs in practice, everyone involved at all levels would probably be much happier with ORPs.
You'd get fed up with any ration after some time. I've lived off Danish rations for weeks, British rations for two months on end, and US MREs for about 3 weeks.
US MREs made me love jalapeno cheese spread though, and I would trade some good stuff for it back then :D
I bought this ration last year. That main did need more water and more heat and time to reconstitute it. I thought it was OK, nuthin to write home about. ;-) Love your work! Thank you!
Great observations. TFW!
Very Cool!!!
Absolutely love seeing the difference between different countries mre.....
I like doing full on comparison video reviews. Stay tuned for more of those this summer. TFW
some of my family was Danish! this is awesome when I was in 5-6th grade I made a few dishes from Denmark for a school peoject.
Hey guys, you should try the Croatien MRE. Love your content💪🏼👍🏻
This is my first time commenting😊my favorite videos are when you dive😁 for lobster on Ace's youtube, it's impressive. Could you do some of those for your channel or is it just MRE? I still subscribed 😄 but if I may ask... what about those snorkeling videos😊
Back in the day when we had the M58 boots, we'd use the used ration toothbrush to get the polish in all the nooks and crannies.
I know this is an old video but I just started watching your videos and being a chef I am wondering if the unknown cheese in the pasta soup was Neufchatel aka Cream cheese. it would give it a slightly sweet taste. Or possible Druzba cheese which is their version of American or Velveeta so that could be the sweet taste. Anyways I am enjoying your videos. I used to watch a couple other people who did MRE video I started with Emmymade, then I started watching Steve1989MRE, gundog4314, but it has been a while since I watched one, but your Italian 24 hour video popped up on my FYP and I just got hooked! so I subscribed and feel down the rabbit hole LOL!
this was a really good video....
The raspberry drink reminds me of Danish dessert we make at Christmas.
Your channel is like Clint Eastwood took over mr Rogers neighborhood love the videos man
One thing I notice about the Danish and polish rations is that they don't add a lot of chemicals and extra sugar and they seem to start with high nutritional quality food (whole grains, no sugar added fruit paste, dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate) and the only preservation will be either the packaging (cans etc) or freeze drying. They also seem to have shorter shelf lives than American rations.
Allison, good observation. As you say, that's why they don't last as long. TFW!
I believe you got so much stuff because they don't intend on a person just eating 3 times a day but instead give things to munch on in between meals too. That's what I think the nuts and dried fruits were for. Good video guys, I liked Ace's Hummingbird dogfight. 🙂
We have a feeder for the hummingbirds too and it's so true, if more than one shows up they both just angrily chatter at each other and fly off before anyone eats.
I love how they added the Map with denmark on it (weirdly not in the center) for all the uneducated viewers who dont know where anything is in the world xD
Well, looks like even he didnt know :D No particularly cold weather in Denmark. It's not nearly as far north as Sweden, Norway and Finnland are (not talking about the most southern tips of course).
Its cold in the winter but yes Denmark have seasons so do Sweden.
Woo hoo. Been waiting
I love this video!!! It’s like a used car salesman trying to sell a 1978 Toyota!!! 😊
I'm also a cashew's lover myself my favorite brand is made by planters they make some great cashew's and peanuts hands down by far
You are correct about the canned pound cake, in OD can.
That's some tasty rations!
Great channel 👏 👍 👌 🙌 😀
TFW and thank you for your compliment, Chris!
Hello there,
As a supplier for The Danish Army, Trænregiment Aalborg, 2nd Logistic Battalion 2.Company.
I have had many of these MRE's on stock when I have to get them ready for exercise and recently did again.
But also when I was stationed abroad had responsibility for the 200 men size fieldration for 2 months stockpiles.
The current MRE M/19 (Model 2019) We have 2 versions.
One Called "Frys" - "Dry" which is where alle the 3 main dished only need hot water to be prepered with. Breakfast and Dinner.
Which is the one kind of package you have received of.
The other one is called "våd" - "Wet" which is the one with a heater that only needs water to start the process of self heating bag can start. (gets very warm!)
The problem with "Wet" version is that its not allowed to be shipped or transported freely as it is under the ADR rules.
Dry version is normal use in summer and spring
while Wet for fast and winter times.
The old MRE's before 2019, where in a Summer Version and a Winter Version, where the amount of calories etc. was main focus, to be able to keep a Danish Soldier feed for 24 hours.
But the current M/19 RATION is for all year round use.
The Current M/19 RAION are based on the Norwegian style and old Danish variants with the best testing from the user's themself before 2019.
We have over 40 different current M/19 standard MRE's, of these also special ones. Vegetarian, Halal, Glutenfree and Lactosefree aswell.
A Danish Soldier is supplied with a cooking stow, fork, spoon, knife, water cantines and for food and is giving the fire blocks by the company supplier before exercise.
The MRE's all contains a box of matchlocks.
Kind regards
I wish I could get hold of some Norwegian meals. That's cool that you work for a supplier for the Danish Army. TFW!
@@MeAncient From what is written, I can tell he/she means 'in'. He/she is in a logistics regiment that supplies the rest of the troops.
'Trænregiment Aalborg' - a logistics regiment located in or near the city of Aalborg, which is a city in the northern part of Denmark on the Jutland peninsula.
Great video. Ace should have tried more food
Thank u for serving
Speaking today it's 14.50 Saturday 12 August and it's 97 degrees here in Southern England
Wow, thats hot!
I'm on the outskirts of London and it's way too hot for me at 93⁰F
Can't wait for next week its supposed to be back to more normal summer temperatures.
@@christinevenner183 I'm in Slough
The heat packs & creamer could have been pulled by customs, but maybe not. I know powdered creamer is highly flammable, & the heaters I remember in The Corps, in the first half of the nineties, could get quite hot, so that was the first thought that came to mind why before being shipped over the pond they may have pulled those items out.
everytime i watch ur videos i see crazy mre in packets and heaters, in israel we probably have the lamest mre on the planet and my only guess as to why is because we usually always operate inside the country which is small and almost always has access to some base or outpost with food.
had us marines who were here for some joint training and they shared their mre that had beef in it... it was much better than what we had, would totally trade our tuna for it.
its funny because the us mre isnt looked down on compared to other mres.
Thats a lot of food and it looked mighty good too! Glad it was stolen from.
Yes I ended up doing the same thing, except I was in the army as a 92 charlie.same 1100 questions, did they make you draw maps and give a list of names and addresses I was glad I did some of the Best times and friends I have had, thanks for your service, semper Fi!
The Morse code story was great. Aww I thought it was the CIA lol
Vlad coming in clutch.
He always does, it seems. TFW!
Who likes when they thank god for giving them the food like i do?
Why oh why am I watching this with two hours to go before Beautiful Bride puts some chow on the plank?
The best thing to stir up those freeze dried meals is a chop stick. It gets on the gussets very well.
Spicy sauce for the win!!!
dark chocolate is my fav !We have orange chocolate here, my son in law loves it, me... ack!
Great video!
In Denmark (and most of Europe) we don't like artificial stuff. The fewer ingredients the better!
It sure is good! TFW, John Doe
we used to put the fruit porridge in our chest pocket on our uniform and save it for a quick slightly heated afternoon snack, I'm not entirely sure how many thousands I've eaten that way though lol
Great idea when you are out in the field. Funny how much we can come up with when we're in the middle of living it. TFW
Man that cereal bar is the best I've ever had .most of that meal pack is great ever fall on the canteens wow was in the infirmary for 2 weeks bruised a kidney
