  • Check out the most advanced military ration in the world. The Close Combat Assault Ration, or CCAR, takes the infantry carry load down by 10%, being the same size as one MRE, but containing about 2,850 calories, instead of the MRE's 1,300 calorie average. Featuring Vacuum Microwave Dried and Sonic Compressed food that takes a fraction of processing time to make than freeze dried. This ration is aimed to replace the FSR, and with it's highly advanced, palatable, and nutritious components, it is the new shelf stable food.

    Great to see Steve back - it's been a year since I have seen him -
    The CCAR doesn't appear to have an actual "main" meal - which I think is the point - it's a mistake to divide the ration into three meals - breakfast, lunch, dinner - it's a recognition of the fact that when dropped into a modern combat zone, you are constantly in combat - there is no front line, you have no rear area where you can hunker down and prepare or enjoy a hot meal, a proper breakfast, lunch or dinner - you are constantly moving and on the go -
    It's just a bunch of small, several bite sized bits of food that you can eat on the go, whenever you have time to eat them -
    It's all up to you to figure out when to eat them - the Army has so little control of the situation, it can't dictate what is breakfast, lunch or dinner time - like they could back in the day - now, it's all up to you -

    The US military discovered the recipe for lembas and immediately made a buffalo chicken version.

    I was a soldier in combat and I don't miss MRE's. Seeing this food does take me back to those days. For me the most interesting videos were the ones that showed what other countries feed their soldiers. I enjoy the channel. Great work Steve.

    This is my first time watching you but I very much appreciate your clear descriptions of how it tastes and feels. I’ve always wondered what this type of stuff tasted like.

    This man and his exquisite biceps, vocabulary, and taste buds have been providing me quality entertainment and wind down content for 6+ years now. Thank you Steve, stay healthy and go get yourself a fresh chicken or somethig nice 😂

      to be fair, dude probably eats like a champ to look so healthy all the time tho lol
      the weight training calluses also tell me that he works out a ton, but then so do the "exquisite" biceps ;)
