  • This WW2 Lifeboat & Life Raft Ration was stowed away in every life saving craft from 1942 up into the 1970's. The contents varied only a little bit in that period of time. Most (by this point) do not hold up very well.. But this one was an exception. Probably a once in a lifetime experience. This is a true can of treasure. Check out my very good friend and fellow MRE Reviewer, BTemple - he posted a video of this same ration. But his bit the dust.
    • WW2 July, 1945 US Coas...
    Still a fascinating look and comparison. Give BTemple a subscribe and check out his reviews. He has a never before reviewed Slovenian MRE Single Meal up as his newest. He's a really cool dude.
    I forgot to mention the weight of this ration. It's 2 lbs, 9oz. (Or about 1,100 grams)
    PS - as much as I really wanted to (and had fun joking about) - I did not eat any more of these pristine components. Giving them to a family member to re-sell to help cover some bills.

    I appreciate so sincerely that Steve understands the monetary value of the items he is examining but at the same time understands the historical value of the items he is examining.
    It's not JUST a 70 dollar chocolate bar to be exploited for a monetary gain but he demonstrates WHY it is valued so highly. The rarity and historical significance is what makes it so valuable. And these amazing videos can ONLY increase the value yet he consumes these food items this to his own detriment financially.
    He doesn't seem to exploit collectors, he IS a collector. He doesn't seem to fool experts with half assed eBay listings to only scrape a buck from a history buff, he IS an expert who appreciates the authenticity and significance of the product.
    This channel is literally the antithesis to most channels on RUclips boasting thier war time experience but shilling a 2 dollar """survival""" kit selling for 80 dollars because of a sponsorship or a gun channel shilling a 3000 dollar AR-15 because they are true weapons experts. Steve really is an expert and a true aficionado of military history and products.

    Hey everybody, I hope you all are doing well and if celebrated, have some plans lined up for Thanksgiving day with family and friends. Tonight I am putting out this WW2 ration, and a 2018 US Meal Cold Weather. A little something new and old. This particular one was very special and one of my personal favorites as these usually degrade into something unrecognizable by this point in time. My friend BTemple reviewed this same ration and his was a great representation of how all of these will look eventually as time goes on. ruclips.net/video/AAfqpn4GolA/видео.html
    As for the remaining components, as much as I enjoyed joking about eating them all, they are going to be given to a family member to re-sell to cover some of their bills. Well anyway, I hope you all enjoy the review and currently I have one more ready to release and another still being edited so stay tuned. Happy Thanksgiving to you all and I hope you have a great evening!

    Awesome video!
    The condition is stunning.. that's pure History right there!
    I find remains of WW2 rations pretty often with my Metal Detector, it's cool to see what they looked like when they were still packed!
    Thanks for sharing, amazing to see this time capsule being opened!

    Seeing you crunch on the malted milk tablets gave me an idea. Ever see that cooking RUclips show, I think it's called Bon Appétit and there's different show too, they try to make popular products from scratch. Like gourmet skittles, or cheetoes, KFC's famous recipe, anything. Anyway they try to reverse engineer the recipe if it's not available. I'm sure those people could reproduce these forgotten delicious candies for all to enjoy(especially those malted tablets:)

    Interesting to see pemmican in a 20th Century ration. Traditionally not made with vegetable fat. Should have been beef or bison tallow, which is NOT the usual fat, but comes from a particular part of the animal. Tallow and pulverized dried meat is the basic recipe. Lasts for a long time at room temp. The addition of dried fruits and nuts makes it less shelf life stable.

    • @ME-hm7zm

I remember I once read some book about being adrift at sea on a WW2 life raft, and I distinctly remember the mention of the hard chocolate as a ration, and also the C rations iirc. Fascinating to me, right down to the way it's all packaged, and imagining the manufacturing and logistics organizing it all.

    That innocent smile at 13:17 when he says “I’m gonna eat probably all of them” is just so funny! 😂

    What a wonderful hobby this guy has got. So nice he is documenting this on RUclips for generations to come. These things want last. No matter how well they are preserve now.

    I really like how you tell you us how much things are going for at the time of filming. I guess if not a collector it's more of a curiosity thing. Thanks Steve great job love your videos!
