- Huge thanks to Oldsmokey for this rare vintage ration! / gjmitchell62482
From 1970-1988 Mountain House made civilian versions of the U.S. Food Packet Long Range Patrol. And this one here came from my good friend and fellow MRE Reviewer, Oldsmokey. Check out this unusual (and incredibly well stored/preserved) vintage MRE.
Unusual twists of events in this one - edible 36 year old Fig Newtons, perfectly drinkable hot cocoa that has dry milk.. the usual suspects of spoilage turn out to be quite good... considering it was from 1981!

The thing i love about Steve is he promotes other MRE reviewers ALL the time and isn't like other youtubers who only want gain for themselves he really is passionate about MRES and wants us to be too
Hey Shah, thank you! These other MRE Reviewers are great guys and have a true passion for the ration like I do. Their work and documentation of these gems is something of true value and needs to be noticed. Like Oldsmokey, he's not only an awesome friend, but he lives & breathes the life of researching, networking, acquiring, and reviewing rations. It's not easy - but sometimes we like to make it look it. :)
Steve1989MREInfo Omg that should be a t shirt. "Passion for the Ration!!" Lol love it!
Do you get along with Nathan Steve?
Ration Passion!
been watching his channel for about a year, i also love how he has such an upbeat personality about reviewing these mres, hes made me have an interest in them and ive tried some american mres from friends that were in the military. would love to get a hold of other countries mres just to experience what other countries military are eating you know?
Steves top ten;

dj22356 what about "nice hiss?" ;)
"Look at this/that/these!"
Wow Steve! I can't believe you got this ration! Back in 1983, me and a friend and his German Shepherd went camping in the mountains of North Carolina for a week. I was 11 at the time (and my friend was 16) so my mom took to me to the Army/Navy Surplus where she bought some gear and a few cases of MREs for my trip. My friend had picked up a bunch of those Mountain Home meals and naturally we would trade 1 for 1. I distinctly remember the chicken stew and that I enjoyed the meal. Thanks for bringing that memory back! In fact, there's another story that came out of that trip...On the 4th day that German Shepherd chased a critter off into the woods...and that was that...he was gone! 2 weeks later my friend got a call from someone whom had found the dog and called the number on his "dog tag". That dog was found in northern Georgia, well over a hundred miles from our camp site! Again, thank you for the memories!
cool!
Cool story
"Hnissssse"
The dog finally came home and said: ”Nice”.
I love reading these kinds of stories in the comments on his videos. Thanks for sharing
The owl on the packages is "Hooty"The owl. Known in the 80s to promote no littering and polluting the environment. His slogan " Give a hoot, don't pollute!".
MMQ he also raped Mr. Garrison when he was a child
@@NicoTheBear64 Stop that right now.
I heard he did a stint with the blowfish at some point.

Hey everyone, this video was supposed to be out Wednesday but some major sound issues almost kept it from being released. Thankfully I managed to get them fixed and so here we go!
Huge thank you to Oldsmokey for this interesting ration - I'd never seen a civilian produced LRP before - they were only made between 1970-1988. And are very uncommon by this point.
Here is a link to Oldsmokey's channel: ruclips.net/user/gjmitchell62482 Tell him Steve sent ya! He's a fellow MRE reviewer and great friend.
Thank you so much everyone, the channel has now reached 400,000 subscribers - I'd never expected to see such amazing reception for military rations.
There was a point when first starting where I figured maybe with enough work and good luck, I'd have 10,000 subscribers in the first year - and that was aiming high. So again, thank you all!
So I also am releasing a bonus video tonight, a simple yet very interesting Indonesian C1 - so if you have the time, check that one out too.
Alright, cool!
Steve1989MREInfo im not seeing the second video or this one on your home page
Love OldSmokey's channel! Always taking the time to check out MRE videos, leaving comments and always positive vibes with him!
Let's get this on a tray.
*Nice*
Steve1989MREInfo Coulf you get shold of a bag of Cornquistos? I haven't seen those since the eighties…
Steve1989MREInfo
*You really need to eat that Steve.. and gain some weight your a toothpick for peaksakes*
"I feel like I'm traveling back to the 80's... I want to stay there!"
You and me both, Steve.
“I came across fig newtons that were black-“
Woah
“-and I ate them anyway.”
*WOAH*
nice
@@Matt-hw1lq you forgot to put them out on a tray.
These videos have me questioning every expiration date I've seen in my life.
Lol
Let it be a reminder.
They're *not* expiration dates. They're best by dates.
Once the dates pass the flavour or other elements aren't their best anymore.
Steve is the master. We merely his students 🤯
*bites into fig newton, 3 big pieces fall off* Steve: a little bit crumbly
Im always suprised how good these look for how old they are
This one was very unusual considering half the contents had civilian style packaging that was not layered and designed to last - and ingredients that also should have made for some real spoilage over the years - yet it was oddly preserved.
Steve1989MREInfo Maybe it was because it was civilian, that it had more preservatives?
I thought military-grade foods have more preservatives because civilian-grade foods aren’t made to last more than 2-3 years. Possibly just impeccable storage conditions; Steve's channel shows if you keep something well-packaged it can last for a very long time regardless of chemicals
Some are lucky survivors (you can tell by how some parts of the MRE aren't as good as others, some having gone off completely), some are preserved because of storage conditions (again, some luck involved, but generally they are pretty uniform), and the last, the best, some are deliberately kept in the best kind of conditions that money can buy (and there are guys out there that have them, i don't know what you'd call them, collectors i suppose).
Either way, most parts are designed to stay fresh for quite a long time, it's a chemistry of various components mixing in (in their static state) and not reacting badly, as, would a regular piece of food would. I watched, recently, a documentary on the way they make MREs and i have to say, that, as food goes, impartial to the results, i think it's one of the highest branches of the culinary world with the obvious exception of space grade food.
Hell, I'd risk and eat it *_*
Who needs a massage when you can lay in bed and watch one of these
I do the same thought I might be the only one
How does a person this cool exist? These videos are almost therapeutic. It's not opinionated or full of politics, and there is no shilling for likes or money. He literally has 400k subs from just making quality video reviews of MREs. I've seen big retro gaming RUclipsrs and car enthusiast RUclipsrs reference this guy. Like my sub base has all seen Steve, and it's awesome his reach is that broad for such a niche thing.
Steve needs to do a crossover with Binging with Babish.
Check out that subscriber count now
Binging with MRE’s
agreed till the last part
Steve is a national treasure, he must be protected at all cost!
@@g0urd_dude246 you talk about no shilling and you mention Babish...
Dear Steve,
In one month im leaving for my mandatory service and i would badly miss your videos. I have been watching you since the first videos you posted on YT and loved em, even before the "Nice" quote became a staple.
I can try and find some "Greek military MRE's" since they are used a lot during joint exercises.
Would love to try and send them to you .
Lots of respect from Greece. Keep making your excellent and soothing videos in YT eternity.
Hey Mister_Greek, we're gonna miss having you here! Best of luck on your service time!
So you are one of the original subscribers, that's pretty cool. You've been around for over a year & a half now.
It would be amazing to get a chance to try out a Greek MRE - if you ever score an extra and want to send it my way I would be honored to review it. Thank you for the kind words - and greetings from Sunny Florida!

Wow thats amazing! He probably thought he was the only person that lived there!
Ha, Steve lives in Floridastan, 2 hours away.
Cool, I'm another Floridian. 63 years in the Gunshine State. Great state to be from, and live in.
The little Owl is from the "Give a Hoot...Don't Pollute!" commercials back then. Super Nice.

What happened to Woodsie Owl?

My grandfather used to do a lot of camping and hunting and used to bring Mountain House items with him. I showed him this video and he remembers these pretty well! Thanks a lot for sharing this one, nice find Steve!
"Looks like a bladder!
...that's disturbing..." 😂
2 videos in one day. Best day ever!
Hey right on, Daniel! Hope you like them!
"I feel like I'm travailing back to the 80's, I wanna stay there."
that made me really sad
It made me happy to think about it and imagine.
Well, it was a great time to be alive.
It makes me sad too, the 80s were cack! No internet, no youtube, no video on demand services, games were pixelated and 2D and there was no way of telling if they were crap before you bought the game since magazine reviews were paid for by the games publishers who obviously wanted to sell their games. Not to mention the terrible 80s pop music that all sounded the same because it came from the same studios that used the same synths. As a generation X'er I'm glad things have moved on!
Times where a lot simpler then.
lou1958
Perhaps Steve's video would have been in magazine format with photos and articles, it still would have been a good read. Times before instant information and media were better in many ways. Life didn't move so fast and people had time to be more relaxed and more civil to each other more often.
I wanna go back to the 80s and stay there too Steve!
I miss the 80s
@Larry umm yes i was born in 1982
Me to
Same. Because i was born in 1998. So i would be dead
We need 80's t-shirts, in the style of the Frankie says relax t-shirts,
But says "Steve says Nice"
I've decided that Steve would probably be the coolest guys to hang out with on all of RUclips. He's just so calm and relaxed. Also, the videos are always awesome.
Need to petition Mountain House to remake these!
Provided they haven't gone out of business.
It makes me so happy when Steve eats old food and it ends up tasting surprisingly great.
At my place of work there was hot coco mix and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why it had a bad after taste well once I finished the tin off I noticed it "expired" about 11 years ago 😅
Similar story. Had an old can of hot cocoa mix lying in the house. I didn't really know why I had it, but it tasted fine so I used it all. Turns out it was 8 years past its expiration date.
The MREinfo gods have graced us with gifts once more.
They have been mighty generous this week, indeed.
5 videos in a one week! God bless Steve!
Hey Zeros, it really has been a great week for new videos - thanks for being such an awesome subscriber and sticking around for them.
EVERYTHING about Steve is something straight out of the 1980s. I love it more than I probably should.
Steve's voice makes him the "Bob Ross" of MRE's! Very calming!
Ambidextrous pouring! And with both hands, too!
Sign Steve is a RoBOt
Ya gotta love his videos
Right on, Bolt. Thanks man
Steve1989MREInfo no problem
My wife and I both got a kick out of this review Steve, and it was a trip down memory lane. We were both avid backpackers and used to buy these MH LRPs on our hikes along Colorado's Rainbow Trail. Later, we had to go with just MH entrees after the LRPs became unavailable.
Thanks for the memories.
Your MRE videos make me forget about my anxiety so fast. They're so calm and you talk calmly. I love these !!
Excellent video as usual, Steve.
Hey thanks so much, Caleb.
Steve you create a Masterpiece every time you put forth a video
Steve's "spoon tunes" are becoming my new favorite part of the video
The I love about Steve is he does this because he loves MRE's and he seems humble and helps out other channels. He throws names out all the time. He just seems like a chill dude, someone who would be fun to have a beer with. I hope he blows up, it couldn't happen to a nicer RUclipsr. Thanks for the hours of enjoyment. Cheers
That was a NICE HISS
I can't imagine what your poop schedule is like. MREs constipated the shit out of us in the army. Lol
Don't you mean the MREs constipated the shit INTO us in the army? 😀
I remember that at day three you’re shit smells like your food tastes and vise a versa
I always look forward to the beautiful melodies of the spoon stirring and tapping the cup
great videos as always thanks for pumping more out lately! thanks for putting the time in.
I've gotta say Steve; there's no other RUclipsr that I enjoy watching more than you. I really appreciate your work and I'm excited to see all that you will continue to bring your subscribers.
Hey FezMan96, that's so awesome. Thank you for the cool & kind words of support. I am always excited to get onto a new ration project, and next week will have some really nice ones. Hope to see you around!
DOUBLE STEVES, NICE
Yessir, tangerinebeam, not bad!
You're THE man when it comes to these ration videos. Always love watching 'em!
Hey Steve, thanks so much for the multiple videos this week. I really enjoy w watching them, been a fan for well over a year. Keep up the great work! I got my brother hooked on em too
Steve my man thanks for making a Saturday night.
Hey Obsidian! Always good to see you here man. Right on, you're welcome - glad I could make your Saturday a little nicer.
Good old Woodsy Owl @ 2:22 ...give a HOOT don't pollute!!!
400k congratulations! Best MRE reviews on RUclips
Holy moly!! Just got my first ever MRE delivered and what a coincidence, it's this exact pack of MRE!!
Enjoying it as I type this right now.
You rock mannnnnn!!!!
Sadly my figs have spoiled into some black stuff :(
The rest are okay though :D
Man what an accomplishment Steve!! 400 thousand. Man that's awesome, keep it up!
Steve is king.
Nice.
Steve a la King
Yeah its great to see someone have a real passion for something like this and share it with us all.
Congrats on hitting 400k! I can't go a day without watching your videos. Thanks for the great content 😊
Nice!, I'm loving the upload schedule Steve keep it up
Hey Brian, not bad! Glad you don't mind the extra videos coming out right now. Always feels great to be able to make these videos.
Really enjoy these videos Steve, I've been subbed for ages and I'm really glad to see your channel grow! Keep it up!
Hey Steve, just wanted to say I'm so addicted to your channel. My father was in the military and always brought me MREs home to play with when I was a kid in the 80s. Keep making these!
these videos are always so Satisfying and calming
my brother and i always say "nice hiss" to each other now
I sometimes buy moubtaib house meals and eat them for dinner while watching your videos.
You consistently have the best and most entertaining reviews on the internet! Keep it up.
thanks for the videos, I constantly tell my friends to watch. They're great research material for tabletop gaming with the added benefit of being awesome. This is one of the few channels I actually keep an eye on for new material.
Your videos trigger the existentialist in me, sometimes the MRE is good, sometimes not, but no matter how it is, you always keep on surprising us with more, and you never let one bite go to waste. Love your videos Steve, God bless you and we'll keep on watching! :)
love those mountain house designs
Another journey back to time, thanks for the experience !!
Always watch these reviews when I'm having trouble sleeping! So relaxing and does the trick! Thanks again Steve :^)
Steve is like the Bob Ross of MRE reviewing.
"hmm look at that coffee"
2 videos in one day?! Nice!
Hey Randal, yessir I threw in an extra bonus video night - hope you enjoy! Alright, cool!
Just want to say my daughter she is 7 and I love your videos she gets so excited when you post a new one! Thank you for making them kid friendly no swearing or profanity it's wonderful!!!
Love watching your reviews.....extremely descriptive.....outstanding.....and of course....NICE!
"Partial tuck so that it doesn't splatter all over the place." - 4:11 - Story of my life.
You should do the room tour for a 400k special. Love the videos!
I am going to be working on a room tour soon - lots of stuff in the works all at once and want to do it at the right time. Thanks man!
I always love the song that you play when you increase the speed of the video while stirring your drinks. Such a unique thing to this channel.
I just found your channel today and I've literally binge watched your videos ALLLLL day. You are truly passionate about this and give so much feedback which makes it so enjoyable to us that are fascinated by these things!!! You really look like you're trying to live in that past moment when you try all of the items in your rations and its AMAZING! You are so genuine!! Thank you for your channel! I have never followed a RUclips channel religiously but I will be keeping track of yours!!!
2:17 Am. Going to bed, sees new videos from Steve "Here We go again!"
Now that's dedication. Hope you get some good rest too, John-Eirik!
106-year-old Antarctic fruitcake found, might be edible. Steve it looks good, & you have a talent , this historical artifact must be tasted and shared. Please keep up the good work.
I'm glad you're uploading more often. I love watching your videos. I ordered a bunch of MREs and I eat them while watching your videos. Mre collecting is now my biggest hobby because of you. Thanks Steve.
Steve, I love your videos. I really liked this one because it felt like something that I would have taken with me on a hunting trip. Thank you for bringing life back into these forgotten rations. I wonder how many people ate this same ration while enjoying the great outdoors in the early 80's. I would imagine that this video sparked a few old forgotten memories. Keep up the good work, Steve.
That retro Fig Newton wrapper looked like straight up Bazooka Bubblegum
Nice!
Oh man it really does now that you mention it. Ryan. Not bad!
*Half of Fig Newton bar falls on the floor while biting*
Steve:"A little bit crumbly."
Just subscribed, my baby brother had shown me one of your videos. I finally found something that helps me fall asleep at night and something to watch during my commute without too many ads. Good stuff bud keep it up
Hi Steve - wanted to let you know I’m a big fan of your videos! I can’t even remember how I stumbled across your channel but I certainly don’t regret it one bit. I watch and re watch your videos because I find them so fascinating. Love what you are creating, thank you for sharing with us!
Awesome Video Steve!
Always be a pleasure 😃👍🏻👍🏻

Steve dunks for no reason. Nice!
Sometimes ya just gotta dunk in for no reason. Not bad!
Super neat seeing all the vintage packaging and brands in an older civilian ration as opposed to the old military rations. Definitely has a more classic vibe to it. Love your videos as always Steve!
Congrats on 400k, been watching your videos since the beginning. Keep on!
400K subs!! Congrats man!! Here to 1 Mil
This one is really interesting. Civilian rations have come a long way since the 1980s...
This ration was truly fascinating, Tony. Quite the evolution civvy rations have made since then - except I do say MH needs to bring Chicken Stew back.
Steve1989MREInfo
Do you have any thoughts as to why MH stopped producing the
Chicken Stew? Too expensive maybe or ?
Their beef stew is pretty good.
They essentially do make this still, its chicken and dumplings now. The only difference is they use the biscuit bits instead of the "bread" bits that come in the beef stew. Its an improvement. Also biscuits and gravy is GREAT. You just have to get the water ratio right and not add as much as they say.
The biscuit bits in the biscuits and gravy are dang good . one of my favorite freeze dried breakfast courses
I get so excited when I see new videos from Steve1989MREInfo in my notifications box!!! You know youre addicted when you start to watch old videos again just so you can get a that fix.
I love food, don't really have much interest in MRE's, but I love listening to Steve's voice while I'm studying for my courses, for some reason his voice just helps me stay focused!
I like how you edit the pitch on the spoon taps to make a little diddly. Its Nice.
I love trying to making glass riffs - sometimes they really do pop. Not bad.
@@Steve1989MRE i literally just read this in your voice haha, love your videos man, i always thought i was strange for loving mre's and survival kits, ect, but you showed me how awesome it really is!
You're spoiling us with all these vids, steve
Hey Faceless, you folks totally deserve a little bit of spoiling every now & again. As long as it's not the spoiled pound cake kind, it's not bad!
Steve, you're absolutely killing it with these uploads. After wondering where you were at for the last few weeks, it's a welcomed change to have you back in my feed. Thanks man.
I have been watching your videos for a while now and I really do have to compliment your editing style. I enjoy how you keep only relevant portions in and have no waffling about like most reviewers.
In summation, I enjoy your professionalism.
May the MRE gods bless you with pre 1950s cigarettes
Thank you! Now that is an awesome blessing, Mountain Sage.
And may the MRE gods bless you with a Nice day and some not so gnarly pound cake!
I like Steve's felt map of Okinawa, hanging on the wall. For those who are puzzled, the United States military invaded Okinawa, the main island of the Ryukyu Islands, just 300 miles south of Kyushu, on April 1, 1945. For the Japanese, Okinawa marked the beginning of the invasion of the Japan home islands. For the United States, the Okinawa campaign was the last fought in World War II. It was by far much larger than the Normandy invasion of June 6, 1944. It was also by far the most bloody and costly paid for in American lives, 14,000 men lost in a mere 88 days while the Japanese lost 100,000 men. Still, the butcher's bill was so high that while the U.S. government and its armed forces remained resolute about invading Japan, everyone was terrified of the anticipated casualties. Okinawa persuaded President Truman to approve the dropping of the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Did the atom bombs convince the Japanese government to surrender? American history books say so, but new opinions have since arisen. It was the Soviet declaration of war and invasion of Manchuria, northern China, and northern Korea that finally brought the Japanese government to despair. The atom bombs put the Japanese in the right direction and the Soviet threat of invading Hokkaido and possibly northern Honshu finally convinced emperor Hirohito and the peace faction of the Japanese cabinet that surrender was better than awaiting the invasion of the Soviets. Initially the Japanese planned to resist ferociously the upcoming American invasion of Kyushu but the thought of Russians occupying Japanese sacred soil finally panicked the top members of the Japanese government, including Hirohito, enough into accepting surrender to the Americans.
That transition at 14:40 was so good! Steve you are too good for this world
Best hiss I have heard as of yet!!!!!! Keep up the awesome work Steve!!!!
Steve comes across an angry snake and says...."Nice hiss!". Then eats the snake....30 years later.
Steve, I am a new subscriber and I love your channel! :)
Hey welcome to the channel, Angelina - not bad! :)
These videos are the greatest videos on youtube. You da man Steve, don't ever change.
Steve. Greetings from North Dakota! I love your videos! Thank you for your uploads.. Big fan of your " let's get this on to a tray! Nice!" I asked my wife to buy me an MRE for my birthday. Lol. You're the man!
