"Nice."

I have the kind of job that allows me to keep a music or YouTube playlist on in the corner of one of my monitors, just about all day long.

Steve1989MREInfo is one of the channels that sees regular rotation on this playlist.

If you haven't ever watched any of his videos, I'll give you a quick and easy primer on what his videos are about:
- He opens both new and ancient MRE kits
- He talks about the food in the MREs
- He cooks and eats the food in the MRE
- If there are smokes in the MRE, he usually has one with dessert.

His delivery is easy going, matter of fact, and very relaxing to listen to. He describes smells and tastes very well, and he knows his ingredients and what aging makes food and food containers do. It's pretty cool.

With all the crazy crap going on in the world, I can't recommend enough that people pause and watch Steve work through an MRE.


Enjoy.

I just started this one.

I've been watching his videos for a while. His delivery is very easy and fun to watch.

I can't believe some of the stuff he tries.

He's also a walking encyclopedia on military rations.

"Nice hiss"

He eats some stuff that I wouldn't open, let alone eat.

However, it's entertaining to watch him eat an MRE from the Seventh Crusade in 1248 and remark about how intact the goat skin wrapping still is.

That wouldn't surprise me.

His history lessons are so easily injected into his process. I love it.

The real question; where does he acquire this stuff, eBay? Craigslist? Local yard sales?

eBray is one source. His faithful followers also send him unusual MREs from overseas.

The NORKOR MRE was a hoot. Rice loosely tossed in a poorly fitted box, tied in twine.

You know... smiley notwithstanding, given some of the stuff I've seen him eat, it didn't immediately occur to me that you were joking. I won't say whether or not I looked for said video.

I need to show this to the fxw one day out of code is viewed as poison!!!

I’ve been watching Nathans BMW Workshop on YouTube for a few years now.

I’d had zero interest in MRE’s, never watched any reviews at all, but then he started reviewing the MRE’s.

I thought, that’s weird, car guy doing that, but I enjoyed the MRE reviews because he was reviewing weird versions from around the world, and some were old. Really old.

I’d never heard of the guy named by the OP, but it just goes to show that no matter what obscure or odd thing it may be, you’ll find it on YouTube.

I've seen a few of his videos. Amazingly, the Chesterfields and Lucky Strikes from the WWII K rations always seem to be fine. He also does vids of some of the survival gear kits issued out to pilots, crews. Interesting as to the contents.
