Eating them here and there is one thing. Eating them throughout an entire deployment is entirely different. It also screws with your digestive system after a while. We had dudes who hadn't pooped once in weeks. It was pretty strange.
Dang! They need to add in a little fiber packet or something. That’s not right 🤣
Thats what they are designed to do....been there done that lol
Yeah exactly... also a lot of the MREs you ger as a consumer are not the same thing as the ones you get when your doing training or on deployment.
Yeah man. I usually pack out what i can and try to ration it all out for as long as possible. I only eat a few of the MRE meals, and a few of the snacks. Iv had quite a long time to find out what works for my stomach, and what doesn’t.
Ill never pass another fist sized brick of a turd in the desert again. F that. Straining so hard like im birthing a baby in those hot sauna porta potties. Working up such a sweat you just want to get naked just so you dont pass out
I was in a work camp for three weeks and they fed us huge meals I would probably eat 3000 calories of food a day with tonnes of fibre and did not poop or gain weight in 2 weeks it was like the food was just being peed out lol I was joking with guys that I was like Kim Jong-un
I was kinda hoping Mav would say “Okay, let’s get this onto a tray. Nice!” 😂😂😂😂😂
Iykyk 💯💪🏾
Thirst provoked
Nice hiss
YES 😂
Nice
Nice
Watching you drive while showing off the mre set my anxiety ablaze.
Literally 💯
I skipped through it once he started doing that. I was like.. why....
Do any of you soft ass marshmallows even drive? He was on a straight road holding the steering wheel with his knee and shifting his eyes back to the road every other second lmao, yall the people that lock up scared as hell driving and cause accidents
I kept thinking *its ok it has autopilote* to not get anxious xd
true
1. Chili Mac is the absolute best. 2. When you eat them everyday, you get to a point where you just kinda stop heating them up all the time and eat them cold. Great vid Mav!
That's the first one I ever ate. You really taste the vitamin aftertaste in that one.
Agreed, Chilli Mac is the best!
@@kennygomez6957 agreed
Chilli Mac, chicken with bbq sauce and the chicken egg noodle are my top 3. I liked the tuna but I got tired of tuna because nobody liked tuna and always traded with me for it
Chili Mac is always the best, especially cold. You can’t go wrong with any of the pasta MREs tbh
When I was in the Army, chili mac was the best MRE at the time. Also, hats off to Glen for letting you onto his land! Canadians are amazing people!!
That one is still the best.
MRE Chili Mac is so fire after a long ass day
@@skazzaoverlord especially when you don't get that nasty Pop-Tart and you get Skittles
Chili Mac and Spaghetti were my go to meals. If you were in during the 90’s then you got pound cake too… mmm pound cake. 😂
@@ElJefe-zu4ee I was in after 9/11. I found pound cake in a few meals. It was pretty good
as soon as you showed the skittles that MRE was a hit with me.....skittles, my very fave candy of all time.. been eating them for over 20 yrs.. had a large "share" pack just this week... did NOT share... and I'm 70yrs old...always a kid
"Diabetus"
ur teeth gonna break
nice
@Craig Hixon on god I'm a young blood but a 70yr old making this comment is so damn cute
why you lying
When my husband and I were homeless people use to always give us MREs and some of them really are pretty damn good! We really liked the chili mac and the cheese ravioli in marinara sauce,those were the 2 favorites. The chicken fajitas are pretty good too.. I use to get super excited to open them up just to see what "goodies" were inside and sometimes you get tootsie rolls which are my favorite lol oh also sometimes they give you these vegetable crackers which are actually delicious and if sold in stores I would definitely buy them
wish you Best of Luck
So the 2 of y’all couldn’t get a job,? Or y’all were just lazy? Poor money management?
@@uadrama Honestly its not really my place to tell you what to do with your life so I just wanted to leave you with a message. You never know what someone is going through, or even if they deserve it. Do what you want but I wouldn't assume anything about anyone, it just causes problems and hurt feelings. You need to approach things with compassion and love no matter what they did to deserve something (unless they're like a cereal killer or something). Take this message to heart or ignore it, I don't care either way
@@Jasmine-tq1nq stop being a Tree huggin hippie. You’re not always going to encounter rainbow, unicorn lovin people. You need to learn how to handle all types of ppl. It builds character.. get a life or f off
@@Jasmine-tq1nq 🤓
I was actually surprised how much each ration had in it. Like a whole survival kit with the matches included lol
well yeah is given to the U.S military
Look up us marine crucible and see how much it really is when u have to ration it
Cause its for a 240 lbs soldier
@@amiserra2763 bro thats a god damn super solider at 240 lmao.
@@miakalifa8234 I was never actually all that hungry during the crucible, it was plenty
Being both a big Steve1989 fan and a big Mav fan, this feels like a dream crossover episode
Let's get this set onto a tray.
@@ninjin1381 Nice!
@@Spencer615 mmk
next video mav eats a mre from the 1300s. "nice hiss"
They need to meet up.
The best thing about MREs is that they last a long time and pack fairly small and give you all the caloric and nutritional intake you need to stay in the fight. They aren't gourmet, but they beat eating nothing.
No, eating nothing is far superior
@@Fullsendfilosophy agreed
Good for like 8 years or someshit lol
I had a big bowl of nothing this morning.
Saves on toilet paper.
My spouse is active and literally bought cases for our bunker we plan to build
I would love to see this as a series you do every so often. MREs are also a great way to eat another country's food without having to actually go to that country, they always have their own spin on things in every country that does them.
Also, being a big StevieMRE fan and a big Mav fan, this video is like a dream come true.
MAV drive too Steve and do a colab. You take him camping for 2 day and he feeds you 6 different countries meals. That would be an epic video.
During the summer of 2016, I volunteered to eat only MRE'S for 21 consecutive days during a U.S. ARMY GUT RESEARCH PROGRAM.condicted at the U.S. ARMY'S Natick Food Labs, Natick MA. Blood, urine and stool samples were taken in the 30 day period. I was instructed to only drink water with the menu beverages provided and eat only the contents of each meal during the 21 days. The selected menu items were from 2014 menu selection. All were consumed and all empty packaging was teturned to the lab personnel. No adverse side efects or constipation was experienced by me. I enjoyed helping. I did not loose or gain any weight. I went about my daily routine duing the 30 day period in the study.
Damn! I was waiting to read that you lost weight
thats pretty cool man. thanks for the share
One of the top RUclipsrs out there, down to earth,humble person. Hard to beat a Mav video. Keep on Trucking Mav!
I agree too.
He cracks me up. I can almost smell the inside of that truck!
You should check out Steve Wallis too
So, my dad developed the retort pouch that mre's are in and when he was trying to see which foods tasted the best in them, we got to try them all. Chili Mac was by far the best, but they also had a chicken a la king back then that was really good. So weird to see how far they've come since then.
When my father died, we had mre's for our post funeral meal. Lol. We had all the varieties the army makes. It was a fun.
This is super cool
@@shubhamvashist8529 it was..we wanted to honor him and his accomplishment..he received no compensation for his work outside of his regular salary, yet he and another man changed the world through their invention. Retort pouches are all over the place. The company he worked for sold it to the U.S. Army and that was the end of it. When he died it was just fitting that we serve them. It was cool trying all of the new stuff.
Sorry about your dad, this was a cool story though. Thanks for sharing
Just came upon your channel this week and i love every video! It has inspired me to travel and youtube .
Apparently the chicken a la king didn't age well, Steve1989 hated it
I love watching Mav's videos. My favourite thing is watching him interact with people. It seems like everyone loves him instantly.
Fr mav is a goat 🐐
Happy New Year! AMAZING VIDEO!
I’m glad you saw the “rock or something” and also found it amusing, lol. MRE’s individually tend to be pretty decent (there used to be some bad ones; they’ve improved), but after a while it does get pretty “school lunch-y”.
My favorites: the chili mac is pretty great, the veggies crumbles are surprisingly good as you found, and it’s been replaced now but the hash browns are one of the best breakfasts by far.
Especially if you can actually crisp it in a pan.
You should not mess around with your food when driving. We don't want too see a mavcrash on RUclips 🤣 anyway, I love your channel. Hi from Norway 👍🏽
Exactly, or don’t want to see any innocent person killed because of distracted driving. Love your videos Mav, but you have a responsibility to be “responsible”, on the road.
I agree, be a responsible driver.
Great video besides that! 👍 it gave me anxiety!!!
He is using his knee to steer, he is fine
@@TheCrypt1c using your knee to steer is okay. Looking away from the road for multiple second ain’t lmaoo
During this pandemic my family was given a bunch of military food and we enjoyed it and it was conversation starter to every different item. We were grateful indeed ❤ i never thought i love peanut butter more the way those packets have them. Like gourmet exquisite food if you read in the back it tells you where it comes from.
Im glad i saw this video, it’s very unique and interesting. Love your video man. Hope you make more videos.
Mav. Big fan. But please drive more careful. I’d hate to see something bad happen, not because of you, but something you can’t control. Stay safe my dude.
It really bothered me the way he was driving.
Tip: When your adding water to the heater, add just a tiny bit. Then roll the bag up from bottom to top and wait a couple of seconds. And you will have the hottest heater possible. Be careful because that mf will scorch your fingers off. When the heater cools down, just roll it again. And you have a scorching heater again. Surprising how many others in the military i have taught this to. But, iv never seen them do it another way after they learned this trick
How does the heater work tho? Confused
@@abraham8772 A magnesium redox that activates by adding water I guess 🤷🏼♂️
I was thinking this exactly the whole time, gotta make sure the water gets in contact with all of the heater pads, roll it around a bit first
This is crazy that it actually heats it up!
Also the beverage base mixes best in lukewarm or warm water, and many of the desserts are improved by heating them
I love watching people's reaction to MRES. I have access to all of them. I can definitely send you some others
I’m so excited that you’re in Canada!!! Enjoy and can’t wait for the videos to come!
The funniest thing ive ever seen you do was acting like that shaver was actually having a hard time cutting through those little whiskers lmao. Love you man!!
Testosterone is on a steady decline, generation after generation. GMOs maybe. 🤷♂️
@@allaboutroofing2 ironic
It's so hard to tell on camera 🤣 My ex had really thick facial hair but it was so blonde that you could barely see it from a foot away 😅
@@allaboutroofing2 What if I told you that facial hair is a genetic trait and doesn't have anything to do with Mav's testosterone levels?
@@KingJerbear you'd be a Karen?
I was in the Army until 2011. The MRE’s did get better every year. But at like 2,000 a package, they are meant for high energy days. Also will clog up your pooper for days-that’s what the gum is for. It acts as a laxative.
Also, that wasn’t napkins, it was toilet paper. Lol. Truth!
My favorite was the Chili Mac. I also liked the shakes that came out about 2003. But I heard they stopped making them in like 2014-not sure.
You did a good job making them. Always make sure you have the heater bag at the proper angle, and that the heating element is on the bottom of the food pouch, not on top of it.
It gives me so much anxiety seeing youtubers hop on the trend of MREs and eat like two of them in one sitting lol
Yep! As a female soldier, my two "go to" MREs if I can get my hands on them is the cheese tortellini and the Asian beef strips. I'll eat each one a day and save the entrees for my last meal. I couldn't IMAGINE eating more than two per day.
Also, I love the combination of the vegetable crackers and the jalapeno cheese spread.
It's not a laxative, and never has been. It's the oldest myth in the service.
mav is like life/human/husband goals and it's almost bittersweet. i just want to go on ONE road trip with him!
loving these videos
I've never had an MRE, but I had a factory coworker from the Army Reserve who brought one in for lunch one day. This was back in the 90s and the MREs were different back then. She pulls out this dark brown plastic pouch and I wasn't expecting much, but there was this little lunch tray and all of a sudden she was pulling a full spaghetti dinner out of that pouch complete with garlic bread and laying it all out on the tray! It looked as good as restaurant food and had me drooling! lol. I wasn't expecting it to look that good.
Lol
I love seeing how far you've come.
Such a genuine guy.
Much love Mav.
Mav we love your videos, my Son and I enjoy every single one of them. My son wanted me to tell you to please keep your eyes on the road. He said, Dad Mav takes his eyes from the road for longer time while explaining everything he is doing. Please be save, we appreciate all your videos. Keep on trucking from Southern California🤙
Mav's videos = BUSSIN'
I've heard that MREs are based on calories per package which is why some of the chicken and vegetarian meals have really good treats vs the more calorie dense entrées with less calories in snacks.
Also, how awesome of that guy to invite you stay at his lake side hang out after meeting you for the first time.
Mav I want to say thank you. I started watching this video as soon as it was posted yesterday and I'm just now finishing it this morning. I pulled it up like 4 times to try and get through it during my night as entertainment and it just was a constant item in my watch later waiting for me. I appreciate your effort, the editing, the extra footage that wastes gas and daylight, everything. Thank you because your content helps other people
I would never get tired of these everything you need
Living the dream, good on you ✌🏻🏴
Whoa dude...Hands on the wheel and eyes on the road there, bud!!!
I mean it actually looks good, really surprised that they focused so much an the nutrients. I have friends in the army and in my country you just get a lot of carbs and very little of anything else lol
They are not good
I am in the army trust me when I say they focus on nutrition and costs over flavour
@@tomgarnett9629 no shit lol
I’m in the army and they’re straight puke start tasting the same after awhile lol
Redf
id wanna live an unbothered life just like mav. sitting in a tree, eating a snack while listening to the river flowing below you.
I love these videos!
I’m sick, laying in my bed at home after an operation I just had. And it it really warms my heart to see you posting a new video. Love u Mav❤️
Hope you get good well recovery man👍👍
Get well soon
Hope you recover soon
Heal well!!
Fun fact: Mountain house makes some of the entrees used in long range or winter MREs. It's freeze dried instead of retort pouches like these 3 are. All MREs are also designed to be eaten both cold and warmed depending on situation.
I think they might be bussin bussin lol 😆 Much love Mav love your vidz bro. Stay up and keep um comming.
Almost gonna hit 2 million, no where better to celebrate it than Sioux Lookout Ontario, world class fishing dude!
As a vet I can say they have improved a lot over the years, Their not light on calories because of how active military is expected to be, also could be 1 mre a day in bad circumstances…
This ⬆️
They have substantially improved over the years.
He should try a scrambled eggs and his entire view will change lol.
Favorite MRE is the southwest,
We now have first strike rations in addition to MREs that are meant to sustain us for 24hours
They have 4000 calories per
Along with caffeinated things like pudding, Gum, gel, and other stuff.
Awesome to see the diverse crowd that Mav brings in. Also anyone who is Erving or has served, thank you for serving🙏🏼
Hey man, love the content, your living my dream! I'm hoping to pursue it myself in the next few months. Safe travels!
If I ever decided to do RUclips, this is how I would wanna do it. Simple, engaging content. Love it!
Love your videos, watch them every time after dinner
But dude, stay safe, keep your hands on the wheel while filming
Also the spoons from these mres are really nice, you should keep em
sameee
Thanks Karen
@@bremma3782 Thanks Karen
WoW 24 hours? Your amazing!
I so enjoy your videos your AWESOME ❣️
We love following you, Mav. We always look forward to seeing you cook. You are getting close to 2 million subscribers which is awesome!
Mav never disappoints with the content 🔥🔥 So close to 2 mil, keep killing it and doing you, aka keep on trucking 💯
MAV LETS GO🇨🇦
You’ve gotta come to Ontario my brother!
I think they're great to have when you're wanting a quick meal on the road plus easy clean up
Need to get Mav a self driving truck cuz he’s gonna hurt himself the way he films and drives
Legendary uploads, God bless you Mav! Stay safe and always remember you’re a great inspiration to many people
Hey, thank you for all the awesome video and I really love it! From Singapore
Rippling River!!! Great campground. Incredible mountain biking nearby and a good river to swim in during the summer.
I fell like Mav always has the craziest vids May-June months
Great video! Was slightly unnerved watching you have two hands off the wheel while driving, don't crash!!
My favorite parts of an MRE were the "chocolate beverage", Chicklets, and crackers with the anemic-looking cheese spread. Oh, and the tiny bottle of Tobasco sauce lovingly tucked into each meal...
LOL
I love ur camping truck vids.
hey there! army combat engineer here, in the field we usually eat them cold and that’s how they made us do it in boot camp so you get used to it. MREs are like 3,000 calories per bag so we’re usually only allowed to have 2 a day, props to you for eating 3😂
They’re about 1200 calories per bag
3k calories is too much dang dude.
I’m so paranoid that something can happen while driving on cruise control or whatever it’s called. I just can’t drive like that or get used to the idea of giving up control of my car. It’s absolutely wild to me that someone can take their hands of the steering wheel while doing something else but driving. While driving.i got really anxious here.
the newer cars will slow down or stop if anything happens or jumps out. these NEW cars are safe
@@johncash3170 ummm nice try! But driving like that can kill you!!!
@@Insomniacgirl383 thats alright, my life isn't worth living these days
Great scenery as always Mav, nice shoot on the log with the MRE
chicken chunks and beef stew are the best ones by far. with chicken chunks you put everything it comes with in the tortilla and the beef stew has the best snacks. sour skittles and a vanilla cake
Mav you make nervous sometimes when your do other shit while driving 😂 Stay safe bro
Love you Mav keep up the grind
“A rock or something” 😂 I remember that. I chuckled the first time seeing that too. So professional. 😬👍
🙏 📩Am thankful for the comment,come over on telegram to claim gift.
Another mavrrific video.🇨🇦👍
Holy Shit, no one is commenting on keeping at least one hand on your steering wheel. I realize you might have modern lane monitoring but machines can malfunction. At 70mph, not enough time to compensate if something screws up, imo.
Totally agree, a truly disgraceful display of driving. Unsubscribed and reported for this.
I very much doubt his f150 has 'lane monitoring' 😅..keep on trucking mav from wannabe van lifer in the uk❤
He was using his knees to hold the steering wheel, pretty standard for anyone who road trips but go off.
@@user-jf9mu5yj3o you’re a child he’s been doing this for years. If he felt unsafe Im sure he would’ve kept both hands on the wheel
@@user-jf9mu5yj3o lmao Karen spotted
Mav the one thing that I have learned from watching your videos is the people around the country and world like when u went to Mexico u have met some really amazing people over the years and I think that’s so dope it shows humans aren’t as bad as we think that there still might be hope for humanity good shit mav KEEP ON TRUCKING
Looks mighty sweet around there !
As a kid in a military family I always thought these were cool as hell. I felt like a badass soldier whenever I would eat them so I would beg my dad to let me have one haha. To this day I keep some in my car in case of emergencies. My dad has a bunch in our garage from his army days.
Prefect just ordered pizza 🍕 and was wondering what to watch then mav drops the goods evening sorted 👌 💪💪
Hello Mav! Been watching for over a year man. Love the lifestyle
Thanks for pulling over!! My `mommy' nerves were on edge
The best MRE is definitely the Chili Macaroni. Absolutely slaps. I used to go out to my local army surplus store when I was in college and buy an entire box of them for my diners for the month.
I like the pulled-chicken in BBQ sauce. Put it in a tortilla and it's shockingly good. Comes with peanut M&Ms too.
@@Ranstone oh my gosh! You are bringing back memories when I was in! That was my favorite. Got me through the rough days.
Thanks for the review. MRE’s are great to keep on hand. I am ordering a good supply of them tomorrow as the situation we are facing they will come in very handy! Blessings to you Mac!
Hey Mav i’m glad you made it to Canada looking forward to your adventures in Canada have fun and be safe♥️😊✌️☮️🌍
First strike bars are fire dude!!!! Especially the cranberry raspberry ones
Chili mac is by far my favorite one! The cheese tortellini in red sauce is really good as well. The God of all sides will always be the cheese sauce with jalapeños .
Much love from Scotland 🏴 get you and Steve over here for a trip!
When you come to Montreal , you have to try Smoke meat sandwiches, poutine and our famous bagels!! Enjoying your time in Canada
Man. I was just waiting for Mav to say "nice hiss" at some point
If you add half the salt packet to the FRH it gives it an extra kick with heating up
good for u Mav I also love the fact that even though u didnt like the chocolate u still ate it. U r a good man. xoxo
When you remember what these meals are used for, emergencies etc. you realize why they’re so high sugar high carb loaded. They may not taste the best but they do have to have a long shelf life. Some of them pack bread that is good for 20 years or more. So you can imagine all the preservatives in them as well. Not the best but better than starving.
Emergencies? These are issued to troops for normal eating. Idk where you got that from but they are not for emergencies.
the adventures i wish to have like mav
Hubs was in the Marine Corps for over 20 years. This is like going down memory lane! Tabasco sauce is a must for many of the MRE's for flavor.
We are only 3.5 hours south of the Soo. Lot's of fishing down here.
Love from Mexico Mav❤️love these vids
I always have multiple MREs and water in my vehicles. They're excellent for road trips and I couldn't say how many times we have used them for convenience and necessity. Make sure they have the FRH (flameless ration heater) in them. Our favorite is the chili mac. Safe travels and sow those wild oats young man.
They offer ones with flames?! Haha
cloggin' thy, pooper.
My wife and I love your videos man!
I had a pack of peanut M&Ms in one of my MREs during the Crucible and, no joke, nothing will ever taste as good as those did. lol
Chicken pesto pasta for the win.
Bless you In ur travels bud.
I always wondered what MRE’s were like! Thanks for the education, Mav!
glad you specified that it was round sausage couldve been a bit confusing if not lmao keep on truckin my friend love watching your vids to chill out on a night time
Thanks for the experience ☺️
Mav, whenever I am feeling down, you never fail to cheer me up. Thank you I really love your content
