Just in case somebody was actually wondering, zip tie's designed purpose is to zip up the original packet after you collect litter into it after the meal to keep our forests clean.

@@elcheffe3460 don't try FDF old style rations, or you'll regret it, everyone who ate them had the shits, and they also taste horrendous as they are almost all soy based some sort of pasta and very bland. The one exception would be the Goulash one which actually had meat in it (horse if I recall correctly) and is in a can, that is one of the few edible ones. I used to stuff my pack full of instant noodle packs because they were aeons better than the shit they gave us as "food".
Nice! Had the pleasure to train with some Lithuanians during Operation Atlantic Resolve. Some really awesome people, loved getting to see how all these other countries operate.
Seriously. It used to come up on my recommended tab for so long and I would wonder why in the world would anybody want to watch this. Then one day I gave in and now I can’t stop watching. I’m actually mad at myself for having missed out for so long.
haha I've never been in the military and I've never had an MRE, however I stumbled across this channel a couple of years ago and it's kind of my guilty pleasure on RUclips. It's good stuff as Steve is actually a very good food reviewer and knows what he's talking about when it comes to all types of rations.
Currently recovering from open heart surgery and your videos provide endless information and entertainment surrounding MRE. The older MRE with the smokes always look fascinating and I bet the aged tobacco is great. Keep doing what you are doing 😎
I could watch your videos 24/7 and I almost do. The best thing about your videos is the educational part of it. I find myself coming back to a lot of your videos when I need to find some information. Thanks Steve, don’t ever stop!!!
“And it’s looking good enough to say... alright, let’s get this out onto a tray”. Oh how I have missed your videos! Thankyou Steve, great to see you back ❤️
Fun fact: "degtukai" literally means matches, the brand that makes those matches is actually called "Liepsna"! I have to agree that they're not good though lol
I just watched this episode again, 3+ years later to show my mother. She had never seen Steves channel before, but a conversation about old food/food safety led me to introduce her to a man who eats really OLD food with no problems. lol These episodes are still great watched over again, although I'm always excited as heck when Steve releases a new video. My mother said she would be interested in watching a new episode as well.
I wanted to let you know that your videos helped me through the stress of interviewing for new jobs! Your calm voice and demeanor helped me calm my anxiety! Thank you brother! I got a great job!
Well, sometimes red is a berry-ish flavor and blue is a tutti-frutti (bubble gum) or 'blue raspberry' flavor, but yeah, often it's just colored plain sugar.
NICE. Dude, I got the beef stew one a couple weeks ago and would totally recommend it. The Vitamin C drink that comes with it is extra nice. Gonna try a Russian 24hr ration next, wish me luck!
I'm not a big nostalgia person, but I've always loved compartmentalized foods. I'm sure there is some name for it, but I'm not sure what it is. Airlines as a kid when they had food, vending machines, hospital food, MREs, I can't explain why all those things bring me such comfort. Dad used to fly some for work, and I can remember stopping in Mobile, AL because they had a great private aviation setup. I can remember seeing my first french fry vending machine there, probably in the late 80s or early 90s.
“Decadent” We need to play “Steve Bingo” Nice Nice hiss Gets it out on a tray Decadent Spoon-song Insider-tip (don’t wipe your face with it) Spoon review (worst spoon ever) Eats something hopelessly out of date. Doubts his life choices after eating something questionable. “Something new...or old.” BINGO!
Steve, what is in your opinion the best MRE to buy for survival . Just in case the Corona virus gets out of hand. What gives me the best bang for a buck?
That chicken broth was here instead of coffee/tea. Don't know if that's common in other countries, but we have a choice to buy chicken broth in the coffee machines here in Lithuania too.
As a Lithuanian and a patriot, every bit of praise (the pork, the cherry drink) made me feel excited and every criticism went straight to the heart! 😂😂 Thanks for another great review!
“You can forget one in your pocket for a month or two, it won’t taste any different” *slips rusk into back pocket* Wonder how you learned that one, Steve 😏
Soldiers on their post: sure is quiet Steve in the distance: NICE! Soldiers: Steve must've found the old MRE'S 🙄 Lol I love your videos man, keep cranking them out, I look forward to them!
2:25 Not true my friend. That zip tie is very important. You will need it to fix your spoon when it breaks.
HA quick thinking!
LMAO!
There's some triple-w-knot that hasn't been invented that you need to show us for that to be true.
To answer the mystery: After eating it up, you are supposed to pack the trash back into the original bag. Than you close it with the zip tie. Here.
k
These long stints without an upload makes me worry if he died of food poisoning.
....or that he ran away with the spoon
Wish he'd do a teaser post showing what he's working on every so often.
Food poisoning(?) Steve1989 kills 'food poisoning'.
He needs to recover
Steve has an interesting upload schedule usually 1 or 2 a month
"You gotta try Lithuanian chicken broth at least once in your life"
Such wise words Steve.
literally threw it away every time i got it, is it actually decent? lol
@@H3rmit_ did you even watch the video?
It's great as far as broth goes. Has the thickness of those maggi instant soups.
I really want there to be an episode of Chopped where Steve is a guest judge and the secret basket ingredients all come from MREs.
Yes
Please
"And for your secret ingredient... Coffee Instant, Type 2!"
Steve needs to start his own MRE-only restaurant chain: "Steve's Nice Trays"
Every restaurant has a perturbed cat next to the door. "Nice hiss!"
"Fresh Frozen MREs!"
Gordon Ramsay: Excuse me...? 😠
And you have to heat the food yourself with an frh.
Do not - I repeat, DO NOT - order the Chinese food. Especially if it's on sale.
@Ultra CNC Propane is a God's gas - clean burning and energy efficient, tell you hwat.
As someone who's eaten a number of those towels, I can assure you they are NOT refreshing in the slightest.
Do they come with cherry flavor?
@MarSec C It's a Hank from Madness Combat
Do they taste like chicken?
I felt that
HAAAAAAAAAAANK
Can we appreciate the fact that in every single video, Steve edits the spoon tapping into a nice little toon.
Yes fav part
6:40 your welcome
Oh my shitting ass I never noticed until now!
I KNOW ITS CRAZY 😂
Yeah, it's a nice touch.
If, in a future video, he casually takes that biscuit back out of his back pocket to eat with another meal, I'll lose my mind.
Watch the one where he eats hardtack from the 1860s...
And it came to pass.
That's great, which video?
The spoon taps after he stirs his drinks are always so satisfying.
The Zip Tie is clearly so you can attach your Panzerwaffles to your rifle for tactical snacking.
Most logical usage suggestion for the zipties yet.
