2021 Danish 24 Hour Freeze Dried Ration Review Cold Weather MRE Taste Test
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 ноя 2023
- A truly gourmet freeze dried 24 hour ration with exceptionally high quality and delicious food, snacks, candy, coffee, tea, and even a toothbrush.
Small portions for many items, which means they could pack in extra variety, and that is just what Denmark did with this 24 hour food pack used in cold climate operations.
Mild pate, raspberry jam that tasted like a dessert sauce, delicate curried chicken with minimally processed and large portions of meat, fish sandwiches, making a trail mix, and finishing with a memorably rich and decadent double chocolate frosted cake.

My wife liked this channel as her dad was a veteran and would save MREs for her that hed pick up through his military buddies or the commissary and there were things in them that she really did enjoy and had no quams about expressing her love for "coffee type 2" etc... Sadly she passed away on November 1st and I miss her terribly. I hope you can hear that hiss up in heaven, Crystal 🕊️
What lovely memories.
God bless man. Youll see her again and yall Will eat MREs un heaven brother❤
Crystal hears you, the Love never dies, only for a time, then Heaven will make us whole again :) Stay strong.
🙏 hang in there dawg.
@@user-ju3bc7yd5x Yup, the MREs will be right there by the Fried Chicken!
My wife just said "Hey, has Steve got a new one?" And Steve appeared. Bravo, my friend.
"Babe, new Steve1989 just dropped"
Nice
If only the notifications came with a _nice hiss._
Steve is her booty call.
Steve *knows* what the ladies like
im dumb as hell. i saw danish in the title and thought this was just gonna be a mre box full of danishes
Hahahahahaha😂😂 if it makes you feel better I thought the same thing!
I was like, how he gonna stretch that into an hour video?!?!
🤷🏽♂️
🤣☠️
And on top of that you couldn't even find the shift key or caps lock on your keyboard! 🙃😉
"that mackerel isn't really moving down, lets give it a good slap."
*Whack*
"Harder"
"What?"
"What?"
The “hey these spoons are really sturdy check this out - oh. Maybe not.” had my sides in orbit. You are perfect, Steve.
That bit cracked me up hahahahaha
Was looking for this comment 🤣🤣🤣
I was laughing way too much at that part of the video 😂
"stiff" not sturdy. A brittle blade breaks, a strong blade flexes.
@@sasquatchhadarock968yeah, they looked a lot more resilient than they actually were
Thank you for all the content over the years, Steve. ❤
Seconded. Hats off to Steve. He's so...nice!
@@Ally-Oop thirded 😁👍
Hey Toxis you're welcome and thank you too for being along for the ride. Alright cool, see ya!
You’re welcome
I would be far more star struck seeing Steve out and about than a tom cruise, etc.
Steve is the only person on RUclips I consistently watch. Everyone else either turns into an ass or I get sick of them. Steve is the exact same guy he has always been and I respect that so much.
Try reportoftheweek.
I love how Steve just happens to have a regular Danish ration on hand to compare. I would love to have Steve give a tour of his MRE inventory.
that information feels classified af
These MREs are available on Ebay and such. There are many collectors and enthusiasts out there, and many military surplus dealers offering them, so it's a lively trade. A not-too-rare-but-still-interesting ration pack can be had for about 10 to 15 €/$/£ already. So if you just want to try if the hobby is for you, the bar is pretty low. My partner and I tried a few from different countries and it was fun, but ultimately not something that we'd spend more money on. It's not like we're making videos out of it.
He's said before that he always buys two if he can. One for display and trading and one for opening.
I lost my dream job because my employer went bankrupt. The last couple of months have been rough, but for some reason watching a nice man eat expired Army Lunchables has helped me keep my sanity. Thank you, Steve
Sorry to hear that man. Good luck to you on your hunt.
Hey im sorry to hear that too. Any updates?
@@taraellis8279 after a long search I found a job in my degree field an hour away. Took a small pay cut, and I'm on the hook for my own insurance, but it bears unemployment and Doordash all night
Hope it all works out bro. Definitely watch these videos for pretty much the same reason. Thanks Steve bro
He's the Bob Ross of MREs
Steve is the Bob Ross of MRE reviews and that's a compliment of the highest order.
Steve and Bob are both from central Florida . It's in the water cool mkay nice.🥰🥰
We’ll just put in some birds here…..mmmkay, nice.
I am 100% on board with that. I love binging Steve's videos when I am feeling all het up about something, because he's just so mellow. One of those "Hey, don't stress, things will work out. Take a breather, collect yourself, and then we'll go get 'er done" type of voices. :)
Time for some happy little Coffee, Instant, Type I.
Happy little trees and Happy little biscuits brown
Steve is such a likeable guy, and the comments section in these videos in unbelievable. Zero negativity.
I know it is such a pallet cleanser!
I think it would be cool to see Steve put together a custom 24hr ration made of his favorite individual components. He can choose the best coffee, bread/crackers, drinks and mains from different nations rations.
WE LOVE YOU STEVE! Keep it going!
Hey Fuhrious much love back to you and everyone else here. Got two more ready, see ya again shortly! Alright cool see ya
Thanks, I will
@@Steve1989MRENice!
@@CalciumOxyde seek mental; help
Great coverage Steve!
A bit of info on Danish rations as I was taught:
Typically the whole rye bread and paté are the lunch items, as a fairly traditional danish open faced sandwich, this also goes for the fish (mackerel on the whole rye bread as a spread).
Whole rye bread is a typical lunch food, with savory spreads on top as the base of the famous danish "Smørrebrød".
the whole wheat bread would be a breakfast item (with the jams/hazelnut chocolate spread) and the biscuits are a snack/used to uh.. "plug you up" so to speak due to the high fiber content.
When we receive a ration, you'd pack it in to one of the plastic bags (to keep it dry) before packing it in your bag, and keep the other for trash, taking any smaller items you want as snacks and keeping them in a pocket on your person, such as the chocolate, raisins, jerky and cereal/protein bars.
Naturally, each soldier adapts that to their preferences and needs, but that would be a typical way to go with it.
Yeah he often does the Pate for breakfast which seems odd
leverpostej til morgenmad er sindsygt, homie
@@azoriusmage Pork products have become fairly common in US breakfasts since the 1920s when the nephew of Sigmund Freud, Edward Bernays, was hired by the US bacon industry to convince Americans that bacon and eggs were a traditional, all-American breakfast. I think Steve views the pates, being pork products, in that light.
@@catspajamas6837 they certainly did that. Bacon, eggs and toast is one of the most prototypical American breakfasts out there. You may not eat it every day, but if you go out to eat for breakfast it's something you will often get as a treat.
@@anisnej10 kan godt gå an her, hvis det er lun Leverpostej på franskbrød. Ellers ikke
We camped in our back yard with our kids and had MRE’s in the tent for dinner. The kids loved trying everything. We made sure to say “nice hiss”! 😂
“Mmm K, let’s get this out on a tray”. 😂

We should all be eternally grateful for Steve and his content. Over the years youtube has become a wasteland of debauchery, anger and clickbait titles. Every thumbnail is an O face and every title is sensationalism at its finest. Videos cut shorter and shorter until only the shorts remain, minute long clips of stupidity and insanity flickering past. Then, the new MREinfo review drops and you remember why you use this platform. Amazing content that has not needed to change in years because it is just perfect as it is. Steve will take as much time as is necessary to fully show off his latest find in amazing clear detail and with nothing but good energy going out into the world. He truly is the Bob Ross of our generation and I hope we keep getting these little surprise video drops for years to come. Thank you for showing these to the world.
For the titles and O faces, you can lay the blame squarely on the need to appease the
all-powerful algorithm.
Lots of small little units that are all tradeable and can interact with each other flavor-wise, depending on people's tastes. Kind of a brilliant ration for unit interaction and morale, even in cold conditions. "I'll trade all my fish and meat butter for anything that isn't that!"
first time I’ve heard someone called paté “meat butter” and I am rolling 😂
you need to try that meat butter - it's amazing that liver can end up tasting that yum!
Imagine if they ALL had the fish and meat butter and no alternatives though!
@@Defensive_Wounds That's normal Danish lunch, so it's not controversial to the people eating it. I could see why it would be off putting to foreigners though.
nearly liquid meat :I
Anytime we get a double feature from Steve is a great day.
Currently stationed in Greenland with the USSF. The Danes are very direct, but they are extraordinarily friendly once you realize that. I've been eating Danish food since I've been here, so this is a fantastic and welcome surprise. Great video as always Steve!
USSF in Greenland? Thule?
I am curious to what you americans do on our territory. Can you tell a little bit about what USSF is doing in Greenland?
PS. Thanks for the kind word about us danes. Some say "direct", some say "rude" 😉
@@peterrevens8454probably some cold weather training or something, idk if he'd be able to tell you though.
@@DBrownson Yeah, only information that is publicly available I guess.
Protecting your resources from the imperialist from the East.
@@peterrevens8454 Main thing they do at Thule is the Ballistic Warning RADAR and the airfield AFAIK.
The 24 hour ration videos are always my favorite by far - I love the way you put the meals together and do it throughout the day.
It’s always a great day when Steve uploads!
Nice
Let's get this out onto a tray!
@@Steve1989MRE -Nice!
@@projektkobra2247Nice.
@@schwibz -Nice!
I’m from Denmark and it’s nice to see that you liked our 24-hour ration 🇩🇰
It looks like a really good ration. It's all nice food that you would actually want to eat and there's loads of it.
@@incredibleflameboy Yeah it’s delicious and good quality.
I'm an American, but I love to see the quality that comes in all the Danish rations that Steve has reviewed. I'm glad someone actually cares about quality, unlike our MREs
And at the start, the nice pictures from the forests and mountains in Denmark... Are they perhaps from Sweden, Norway or Finland? Love from Norway.
@@janhugo HEY Denmark has very nice crop fields!
As a Danish person let me just say that if you ever get the mackerel in tomato sauce again try add Mayo (if possible) and pepper. That's probably the best way to saviour it!
Also, love your vids Steve. Keep it up! 👍
Mayo with mackerel in tomato sauce?? Now there's a combination I would never have even considered. An interesting idea, but I'm not sure where you'd get shelf-stable mayonnaise from.
"forsvarets ejendom - må ikke videresælges"
and here we are. 🤣
Really appreciate all you do, Steve. Super stoked to see these videos coming out. Just sat down for dinner and this will be perfect.
Hi Mario, thank you for the kind words. I hope you enjoy the two new videos out tonight and see you again shortly with two more. Have a great evening and see ya around
Thanks, you’re welcome
Nice@@Steve1989MRE
Dang! That MRE almost makes me want to join the Danish army. That all looks better than what I had to eat today. No lie.
Dane here, they are quite good!
Only that I have seen being clearly better (that I have seen yet) are the (no surprises here) French rations, those are peak ration as I've seen em on Steves channel and elsewhere!
Danish mres are truly world class.
I'd honestly like to try some of those JSDF (Japanese Self Defense Force) rations. They actually look pretty good to me. BTW, anything is better than the vomelet (veggie omelet). I went through Army Basic Traing (US Army) in 2008 and got stuck with it once. Worst MRE ever. Looked like a cat ate wet cat food and threw it back up and they packaged it 🤢. Glad they discontinued that one. Honestly should be considered a crime against humanity. 😅 I'd actually like to try a lot of different countries military rations to be honest. 😊
Im watching this while dipping toast into a jug of baked beans. Probably a bit worse than what you had to eat but I'm content. I love dipping toast in bean juice 🤣
@@yips_wayrip
You’re one of my favorite people on this planet. A friend to more than you realize, Steve.
"These are very sturdy, check them out"
*Snap*
"Oh"
That got me XD
Dude, I’ve been watching your videos for literal years and I just wanted to say: I hope you’re having a great life. You seem like a very nice and genuine dude and I hope you are doing well and succeeding in life in any ways that you’d like. You don’t know how happy seeing that you uploaded makes me. I found your channel I’m pretty sure in elementary school and now I’m about to graduate this may lol that’s crazy. Your channel reminds me of when I was younger.
I really enjoy this comment! And i wanted to quickly say- Congrats Grad! 🎉🎉
Your graduation must be coming up any day now. You went through a lot of years of work to get here, so enjoy that feeling!
Be blessed!
@@mizrice thank you very much! I’m just seeing this but yeah, I have 20 days left then I’m out. I’m so grateful about everyone who has rooted for me, even you! So thanks for that. Hope you’re having a good day 🙏🙏🙏
Just chilling in my room after a long, hard day at work; wondering what to watch... Then Steve uploads at the perfect time. Always makes my day just a little better~
Right on
you and me both brother, 11 hour shift, just got out the shower and see this is uploaded, i am complete tonight!
@@dylanciagaa Nvm, my day was definitely NOT as hard as yours XD. 11hrs... Dang... I hope u getting paid well for that long of a shift.
@@Hadrian9707 11 hours is very unusual, i am a excavator operator and i dig trenches underneath the foundations and install the sewers and water lines for homes before they are built, we were pretty behind this week, so longer shifts were required.
Ironically just starting my shift at my job! Good stuff to get my day going
Hey-hey Steve! Mackerel in tomato sauce is a traditionally popular spread here in the nordic countries; or at least used to be for the millennial and pre-millennial generation :) I’d be shocked if the fish spread was of poor quality! Looks like you enjoyed it even if they didn’t include butter in this ration (!!!). :) Thanks for another banger of a video.
Not in finland. Maybe it's that very fine mackerel fat. Everything tastes fishy days after you eat mackerel.
I cannot overstate how much I like watching your videos. I don't have to watch them immediately but I am just glad to be able to watch them when I find the time to do so. Your videos are oddly calming and relaxing and interesting to watch. It's just the perfect mix of emotions.
Dudes timing is impeccable. Weather has changed getting cold folks are getting sick and down. And here we have a 24 hour pack. Complete boost to yhe spirits
maybe in your half of the world 🥵
As a floridian, what is this "cold" you speak of?
@Dorraj I'm a Canadian bud. We've already got a foot of snow on the ground.
@@john_barnett yup we've already got a foot of snow
@@lanceschaerer6875 "snow"? Never heard of her
just when I started watching Steve's old videos again, he comes out with new content! thank you Steve!
Oh wow perfect timing! You're welcome Tallacus and thank you too for stopping by! Alright cool, see ya
these videos are always so well researched and informative. you can really tell you care a lot about the way these are made and i appreciate seeing these every time you upload them!
Steve you are amazing and your content never fails to make me smile. I’m currently serving and love to lay my rations out and “review” them when I’m in the field. I appreciate you sir, salute!
There are very few RUclips creators who are as therapeutic as Steve is. Just a real American man with a passion, it doesn’t get better than that!
Always a good day when Steve uploads.
nice
Thank you for bringing all of us so much joy. My sons and I have started a hobby trying military rations because of your videos.
Thanks for what you do, Steve. You make the world a better place.
another great video! and love to see Denmark presented so nicely thank you :D i do love the ryebread hazlenut and jam but want to give you a little cultural reference if intrested. ryebread is a normal lunch bread and the mackerel in tomato sauce is in every home and something almost every dane has tried so brings a great deal of nostalgia. the liver pate's are the same.
once again you are doing great!
Not to mention pairing the rye bread with the pâté, which is arguably the archetypical Danish lunch (“leverpostejsmad”).
Pretty much rye bread with everything! Only thing I ever really miss when not in DK is our rye bread!

Nice! Alright cool, see ya
Yay! We love your videos Steve! You've improved my life in so many ways! Thank you for sharing your food adventures with us!
I love these videos. Been watching since high school and that was quite a few years ago. Never ceases to interest me
Truly been a blessed run with the latest uploads. Thanks Steve.
Hey thanks so much for giving this one a look, man! Alright cool, see ya
All 4 my sons, even the 2 not still living at home. "Mom you saw Steve uploaded today right?" I tell you we all love your content! It crosses all the supposed boundaries.... please keep adding when you can!
I'm hiking the Appalachian Trail and I woke up to a wonderful surprise. SteveMRE teaching us about the joy and wonder contained in a MRE! 🙌👏 You're the best, sir! Your passion and knowledge are unequaled in this field.
Hands down after all these years. Steve is the most relaxing and intriguing Reviewist. That's right. Reviewing to an art.
The Danes know how to throw together a great pack of rations. I want a box for myself now, lol
Look Out for a German one (mre). It is cheaper and have mostly the same products.
Gotta love a two-fer day! I'm so glad you're back doing these. Your mellow, positive vibe and infectious enthusiasm is just good for my brain. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you Steve! My boys and I really enjoy watching you together! It's a tradition now! 😃
I've been doing a marathon of Steve's old content since his last upload, very pleasantly surprised to see not one but two new videos today. It's always a great day when Steve uploads! Keep up the fantastic work
The spark of joy I get everytime i see one of Steve's videos come around is such a unique, wonderful feeling!
I bet the spark of joy made a nice hiss?! 😁
One of the best parts about watching these videos is the exposure to different culture's common foods. Prior to finding Steve I'd never heard of things like muesli or pate. Even though in the US we have similar things they go by different names or slightly different presentations. Very enjoyable.
Yet another great video from our man Steve! Thank you so much for all of your hard work, ser!
Everything about this is awesome. The Scandinavians do this stuff so well. The menu is healthy, rich, and diverse with a lot of composability. Even the aesthetics and design are on another level.
THANKS STEVE! For all the great content. Always been one of my almost daily checks for uploads!
I never thought a seeing a RUclips notification could bring such joy but Steve never fails to put a smile on my face. Thank you for being you!
Always a pleasure to check youtube and see new Steve1989 content!
Always excited to see a new Steve video. Thank you for all the entertainment over the years!
You’re welcome
Hey right on turbo glad you could stop by. Nice!
@@Steve1989MREhope we can see new video of you making another homemade mre special ❤
Anyone else get super excited when Steve pulled out the Brussels and Farmhouse pates? I know our guy loves a good pate and it’s rad to see his favorites improved!
Thanks for your video. I love the way you make your videos. My family likes watching them. We appreciate all the comments and explanations.
Another fantastic video! Thank you for doing these. I throughly enjoy your content. It helps me unwind,relax and learn.
I love these European rations, they’re always so hearty and generous with the portions. Always seem like quality ingredients too.
@sterlingarcher3619spotted the ami
@sterlingarcher3619 Okay and? This isn't a comment about how their military is used, its a comment on how hearty most european countries feed their soldiers with MREs.
@@buttahXD
It's the difference between spending $1M on meals for 10,000 soldiers versus spending $1M for 100,000 soldiers. Combined with not getting deployed means they are not using the MREs, which means they can make even fewer of them. Something like this wouldn't scale up well.
@MTGeomancer Because we'd rather waste money forcing our military to expend as much ammunition as possible, otherwise they'd get less the next time they went out on patrol.
I can't wait to get home and watch this. I am so glad you are still making amazing content for us all. Thank you for your service to mankind.
I love this channel, its often what i watch when relaxing with a good cup of coffee wrapped in a blanket. Cheers from Ireland.
Thank you Steve for uploading another brilliant MRE review .
You are the best my friend
Glad to see Steve that you're continuing these videos.
You keep doing and I'll keep watching.
🇨🇦👍
i choked on my food at that choco spread drop edit! added a lot of character to just have a little quiet plap and then they appear nicely back in your hand to put down. These little editing bits and the amount of chill you bring to your hobby, i would say, make you one of the bob rosses of the internet. always glad to see you doing stuff!
Great video by Steve of a really great ration! Wow. The quality & variety of this was something else!
All my years working on a USAR team for earthquake response, we ate MREs all the time. We always enjoyed finding different combinations of items from each to enhance the meals. We always had a box at our Base of Operations with extra pieces of MREs people didn't eat or want. It was fun to see what we could use up .
The "MHTD" means "Mindst Holdbar Til Dato", literally "Best Before Date". It's a Danish food and health safety thing.
It means that the food is best before the indicated date, but can eaten after that date. Provided it's been stored correctly.
Also. Steve, you ate the patés wrong. They are supposed to go on the rye bread. Which is why this ration has TWO packets of bread; one for the fish, one for the patés.
We Danes also don't put jam on the patés.
And they are usually a lunch, or dinner item.
I don't think anyone but Steve puts jam on pate 😂
depends on the pate and the jam fig jam on pate foie gras on toast points is a great combo for example there are other good pate/jam combos
i wiuld never have believed tart apple and peanut butter were a good combination but it works great
Yes, well, we Danes never eat jam on pork liver paté.
On biscuits, toasted white bread, and on some desserts? Yes. But not on the patés in this MRE.
So it’s basically the expiration date?
I was literally just saying’ “I wonder if Steve posted a new video yet?”, and boom there it is! Sometimes all you have to do is speak it into existence lol! What a fascinating ration from the Danish! Having a wholesome real food experience with a military ration is so awesome! And it really bolsters the energy levels I feel like more, than having a bunch of food that’s filled to the gills with preservatives.
That happened to me too months ago. I swear Steve is there when we need him most! He is da best ❤
Nice to see you again!! Thanks! I can’t wait for more.
Watching Steve’s videos helps balance my chi. Great job Steve keep up the great work!
Best food review channel on RUclips. No skeching sponsorships or branded kichen where just MRE's and a tray! 😁
When the world is in turmoil, Steve delivers.
You’re a legend Steve, been watching for years now and still get super excited when I see you appear!
This looks like one amazing ration! Rarely do I want to eat the food featured in your videos, but this Danish MRE is straight up quality!
You know it's gonna be a good day when Steve uploads
nice
I’m excited to an unhealthy extent that there’s new Steve content 🎉
Steve, the amount of times you help sooth me to sleep man. And not in an insulting way, I love the content but you just fill me with relaxation.
Eh Steve, Steve...
Im really glad you still got your passion and your flow!
So happy to see you again after an year... or two... ❤
That Danish breakfast ration is very fancy and looks delicious! 🇩🇰 Greetings from a fellow Steve born in 1989! 😃
Just what I needed man, thank you Steve
Hey right on dude, you're welcome and thank you too for checking this one out. Hope you have a great night and see ya around!
Steve! You rock! Thank you for the honest review. Personal taste varies, yet your reviews keep the "reel" factor in the video. Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you Steve I watch these with my wife, she doesn’t understand my interest in MRE’s ans history but she appreciates your work!
Gosh you breaking that spoon gave me a much needed laugh😂love your videos Steve!
These are my favorite videos on RUclips. They have helped me through some really tough times and I can’t thank Steve enough for that.
Something is so calming about these. He’s like the Bob Ross of MREs I guess.
I love to watch the 24 hour rations, an hour of just pure relaxing content. Little fun fact this ration was packed on my birthday February 3rd, which is just a fun little coincidence.
As always Steve… you are one of my favorite most entertaining RUclipsrs. Great ration review.
Great to see Steve again. Love his commentary
nice
Sure is nice when we don't have to wait half a year or more for a video! Love your content, Steve
It's always a lucky day!
Glad to see videos coming more frequently me and my little boy love to watch
Thank you Steve for all the videos. My 5 year old daughter and I will sit down and watch all of your videos. She will ask me all the time to watch Steve. So thank you for doing it and giving me something more to do with her at the end of the day☺️
Been about two years once I've watched one of ya videos Steve and it just makes me smile to see you are as funny, entertaining and simply awesome to watch as you were two years ago, keep up the absolutely amazing work Steve
Steve giving us two pairs of vids in the span of less than a month? It's gonna be a good holiday season ☺
Nothing brightens my day more than seeing a new video from the man himself, and it must be Christmas as there are two new videos! All Hail the MREKing!!!
I haven't even watched the video yet but thanks dude. Most of the times you make my day a lot better with your videos.
I’m a simple man… I see Steve’s video, I click.
