1961 Meal Quick Serve 6 Man MRE 7,200 Calorie Prototype Ration Review Meal Ready to Eat Testing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 พ.ย. 2017
- Check out this prototype MRE - Meal Quick Serve. Only produced for testing, this freeze dried ration is designed to feed 6 soldiers.
It was never put into major production, and was shrunk down to a 1 man single meal, which was the Food Packet Long Range Patrol.
This is my longest video to date. With the amount of edible/consumable components and it's sheer size - plus providing the info on the ration, a slightly over 41 minute run time was not selling this incredible ration short. Hope you like the video!
Huge thank you to mremountain.com/ for helping me locate this ration. And my greatest thanks to my patrons at Patreon
for helping me afford this incredibly rare find. To join in on my Patreon, here is a link:

Soldiers loved it.
Not adopted.
Sounds like military all right.
😢
yes
Right? The mobile ration? Nah cancel it it’s all C RATS now.
There might have been some problems with the ration that prevented it from being mass produced.
@@shiningkingghidora Based off all this? Looks like expense would be the main one. Extraneous weights, like the trays and metal liners.
"Im not eating that."
"Ok, maybe just a tiny bite."

"That beef is good. Is that the oldest meat I've ever eaten? Probably is. Or close to it. I don't know. But when you have to ask yourself that question, that's... You're definitely leading a strange life."
The farmer that raised that cow has probably been dead for a long time....
He ate beef from 1900. Steve could probably eat a nuclear reactor and just have to deal with a glowing toilet for a while.

Either that or he actually is the patient zero of The Last of Us.
He is an example of how my people *should* eat.

lmao
"It's fermented... still edible, but I'm not gonna eat it...
(I somehow actually believe)
Well...maybe just this one last bite..."
I srsly can't stop laughing when those moments happen
Next day sitting in the toilet....
Steve:...nice hiss....
Lmao
That actually really got me...nice

He seems simple, but this man is one of the frontrunners of the preservation of military history. This man, right here. Service to mankind.
@julianscaeva dont mean to be a negative nancy but i gotta agree with that, still sharing the contents with the public is something very respectable
Seems simple to you possibly because you are making a simple observation.
His attention to detail would suggest he is far from simple.
"he seems simple" are you stupid?@@imafackinjunglist
He is an outstanding documentarian. 🤘

Hey everyone, this review was a long time in the making. Hope you enjoy it, albeit the long run time. Sit back with some nice snacks and maybe some coffee, instant and stay tuned for some really cool videos coming up next. 4 more in production, and then to an extremely uncommon WW2 survival kit and more.
This is really cool! Nice find Steve!
Steve1989MREInfo thank you for all the videos Steve. Nice!
Hey buddy you kick ass Steve.
Love your videos Steve1989MREInfo
Hey thanks Chef! This is one that truly would have slipped through the cracks if not reviewed.
If Steve took all of his "personal favorites" into 1 mre. It would be a 26,000 calorie mre that feeds a entire battalion and a full carton of butts
"Alright, so let's get this out onto some trays... Nice."
Gave me goosebumps. You're the man Steve.
Steve, don't apologise for being enthusiastic. I stumbled across one of your videos a few days ago and have been watching them ever since simply because your are so into what youre doing. youtube is full of people simply trying to be famous and make money. they are easy to spot because they are so fake. you on the other hand obviously love doing these taste tests and (don't take this the wrong way) are like a big kid full of hope and enthusiasm and it comes through the camera. your videos are some of the best, most real, i've seen on here. keep making them and keep enjoying your subject.
someone mentoned a Q&A vid. I'd love to knnow how and why you got into mre's.
Me too! Love the enthusiasm!
You can tell he's really passionate about it, that's what I love the most about his videos. This is by far one of my favourite channels on TH-cam ever
Moms spaghetti, accesories on the trays already, white bread, military spread and jelly
junibismalis Better than Eminem.
Nice
Look at his profile pic damn
Smells rancid, he's nervous.
Vomit on his fatigues already
Doctor: you have 41:20 to live.
Me: *turns on rancid ration vid*
Doctor: Any final requests?
Me: *labored breathing* I'd like to be cremated, mixed with coffee instant type II and put...out...onto...a...tray............nice.
Hahahaha. Niceee
Your body gets cremated.
Suddenly Steve appears:“Nice hiss“.
Nice! Mmkay..
@Taps fan Thanks!
LMAO...hilarious...but some truth there.
We are from the future, and we can definitely tell you, that is not the oldest meat you're gonna eat!
Hah! Loved his line about if you have to ask yourself is this the oldest meat I’ve ever eaten then you are definitely living a strange life. 😂
"Most of this ration can be retained for display, and that's a real plus."
Chicks dig that
Yes they do...his genes are steel belted.
"Oh, that's like, burning my throat, is that fermented?" *TAKES 4 MORE SPOONFULS*
I'd love to see Steve after a few packets of boozejelly.

Jesus, I knew you were real!
You must have a dark sense of humor
In tonight's review... Steve discovers plastic-flavored sandwich spread, alcoholic jelly, multiple trays, butterscotch gruel and the actual chicken of the sea!
I think this is one of your best so far, dude. Thank you for eating, drinking and smoking weird things for our edutainment.
That gave me a good laugh, thanks Joshua! So glad ya liked this one man.
You should put more ads in your videos I mean other youtubers put like 3 ads in a 10 min video, I really wouldn't mind and I'm sure your true fans wouldn't either. Love your vids, keep it up :)
How does he afford this? I imagine it's a super expensive hobby!
yes i agree you should put ads in.
What you really need is someone to get you sponsors. There is a few here I can think of that might be interested. I don't know what numbers youtube gives you but if you have a breakdown of your viewers locations it would go a long way.
I think smoking ancient cigarettes and drinking instant coffee is my personality type
w h i t e n o i s e I’ll smoke to that one
a great way to chill out with some mate with some vintage coffee and classic cigarettes.
Steve I worked in a small delicatessen when i was a teenager in the 70s and we sold Viceroy
cigarettes. They were more popular with older folks like Pall Malls and Parliament cigs.
Young folks smoked Marlboros and Kools.
I used to be able to spot what a cigarette a customer wanted just by looking at them.
A pack of smokes then was .60 cents. Customers swore if a pack went over a dollar they would quit smoking.
And how much are they now in 2019?
Here in Poland about 4/5$
WILLRACE4FOOD depends where your at, In Minnesota in the states a pack is almost 9/10$ for some brands
I'm only 40 and smoke Pall Malls, now I feel old*er*
Now in Australia due to us apparently liking being taxed into oblivion, a decent pack of 25 cigarettes is now at least $30AU (about $22USD).

Coconut bar "Oh it smells terrible! Yea its not edible" .... "lets take a little bite" haha classic Steve! Love it
Yeah, he's funny that way!!! LoIIIIIIIII
Then “little bite” always ends up with him eating like half a bar and alternating between “that’s not bad” and “why am I eating this?”
“Can’t say no to some 56 year old spaghetti” 😂😂😂

That toilet paper, I'm not going to test it on camera.
Thanks bud 👍🏻
The paper cups with the fold out handles remind me of the cups we used to get
when you got coffee from a vending machine.
*THIS COST $700 DOLLARS* !!?!???!!!?!!
holy shit Steve, makes me appreciate you and what you do just that much more, thank you man and the other day I went through your catalog of videos and realized I had already seen them all! lol it was a bummer for sure but oh well this new long one gives us our fix! lol NICE
Even if only 1% of his subscribers pledged $1 a month, that’s nearly five grand to give us watchers the joy of seeing Steve produce videos eating stuff like this.

If the chicken is older than you... it's fish.
"why am i eating this?" that should be the name of your memoirs
Furvivor I read that exactly when he said it.
“Im not eating that. Well maybe just one more bite.” Hahahahaha that made me laugh so hard. About the jam
Nah that should be the name of the tv show he gets on TLC “welcome to why am I eating this with Steve”
Dude! Freaking UNREAL review. I cannot believe the condition that thing is in. It truly is a wonder. Everything about that ration is unique. Gun cleaning patches?! Love those Dixie cups. To think that whole thing is only 8 lbs. That ration was WAY ahead of it's time. Shame it never went into production. We don't even have anything comparable to that ration right now. One of the all time great reviews that's for sure.
I think the problem is all the waste it creates. So much paper product that, while bio-degradable, just gets thrown away after one use.
Well this was a test kit so it would be then be further developed into a much more cost effective production kit later on or become a test bed to experiment with.
I feel that the 2 packets of tea are for the "cook" as a reward for preparing the meal...
Hey, it might come back into production! The DoD absolutely loves weighing down troops with 60lbs of non-useful stuff that gets abandoned at the FOB anyway.
Rodney Bray I remember getting those cups as a kid
Steve is the most happy when he gets a pack of smokes. As a former smoker, I can understand the sense of joy getting a pack of those would have been for the soldiers.
Coffee, instant. Now when I hear this, it makes me laugh. After I saw you pull out that kenworth Butler razor I went straight to Ebay to see if I could find one, with no luck. But that's what I love about this channel. We get to see what most would have never witnessed in ones lifetime. I thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos. Your enthusiasm and energy really make these video so wonderful to watch. Cheers keep it up!
I placed it finally. Steve is the Bob Ross of MRE’s.Steve’s canvas is the tray and his “happy clouds” or €56 packets of spaghetti and meat sauce with a viceroy cigarette. Both men love their hobbies and the enjoyment is infectious.
Jr Dennison first time i heard him speak i thought
of bob ross it's the laid back attitude as well

Amalgamar Just the way momma used to make it.
Steve's amazing!!! I've tried less than 10 yr old dehydrated survival food that had a hint of rancidity and I couldn't eat more than a spoon full. I'm just amazed that this 56 yr old spaghetti is edible.
"is that the oldest meat I've ever eaten....when you have to ask yourself that question you're really leading a strange life." Haha Favorite quote of the video.
The one man that can eat something off-camera and I'd believe it every time.
Steve "Is that the oldest meat I have eaten?"
When you have to answer that question you are definitely leading an AWESOME life.
after he said strange life i laughed so hard!

Now that is a perfect combination! Not bad
Alright, cool!
Steve, if bread smells fruity (and it's not fruit bread), that's a very strong sign that there's mold even if it's not visible. The mold spores are everywhere even if not visible.
Oh wow I never knew this
oatznsquats
I think the last can of bread he ate smelled kinda fruity and was perfectly fine, so unless he posts a video that says he got some terrible disease, I'm going to take your advice with a grain of salt.

Nevermind, the bread does have black mold on it.

@@Devilman6066 if Steve went around from town to town, in say a theatre, doing a live show just opening random rations for an hour and a half on stage - I would totally buy a ticket!
"This is definitely one of the funnest things ever!" Oh, boy you can really sense how overjoyed Steve is each time he reviews and opens these MRE's. What passion and dedication he has for helping to preserve military history!
I love this.
"That's not edible."
"Well maybe one bite."
"Ok one more."
Love how descriptive you are. I quit smoking 6 months ago but every time you describe the cigs in the rations it makes me want one so bad. Triggered. Would definitely hunt for a ration just to understand the experience you had with the Camels in your 1954 Korean War ration.
You should start up again. Smoking is a really fun hobby.
Nice hiss... tshirt would be cool.
lol Steve is chowin down on some 56-year-old Spaghetti, and most of us complain about food that's been in the fridge for three days lol.
Gus Davis *Well if you think about it, food that's been in the fridge for 3 days is no where near as appealing as a freeze dried spaghetti 🍝*
Furby Gender Fair enough, but it's still kinda funny.
Yeah. Sometimes I wonder if putting opened stuff in my fridge doesn't somehow make it worse.
you said it Gus!!! He must have a digestive tract made of stainless steel!!! Lol
To be fair his spaghetti is freeze-dried lol.
*tastes jelly*
"Ew, is that rancid?"
*takes another taste*
"Yeah, that's like fermented, well maybe one more bite..."
Also why is freeze dried spaghetti not in every grocery store? Seems like a perfect idea.
Pat Patrix I'm not sure but it seems like mountain house is cornering the market on freeze dried foods. the only alternative is buying a freeze dryer for around $2k
We have that stuff in german supermarkets. Be glad you don't... 😉
Idk why but seeing the joy that 50 year old food brings this guy really kinda makes me happy
Yeah same, his happiness and excitement are contagious!
"Awww, that is burning my throat... is that fermented?
*eats second spoon*
*immediately prepares third*
The hit you get from cigarettes isn’t just nicotine, they also give you a dose of MAOIs which are the strongest anti-depressant type. Easily googleable if you want to check. MAOI and cigarette will do it.
Your videos are incredible and easy to watch, easier than most broadcast TV, thanks for everything you do.
Tobacco smoke contains Harman - which is a b-Carboline closely related chemically to harmine/harmaline. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmine#Effects_on_bone_and_cartilage It's not that great an antidepressant and has some rather nasty negative effects.
Wow...TIL
Yep he isn't shittin you either. I guess that's why so many soldiers liked smoking cigarettes.
Michael Bennett don’t forget co2 from combustion. The lightheaded feeling.
Steve, two year anniversary on TH-cam coming up! Congrats for your success!
Hey Goose! Yessir - November 27th. It has been an amazing 2 years. Thanks so much for being part of it man. Always great to see ya around.
I recognized those cups immediately. My grandfather lived in a VA hospital in the late 70’s, they had those exact cups. I always remembered those cups, filterless Pall Mall’s, and so much smoke in the hospital, the walls and ceilings were amber.
I really love these videos! The thing I love most is the comments. Most comments nowadays are negative to downright mean, not on Steve's videos! Keep up the good work Steve!
classic Steve commentary:
"oh yeah that's not edible"
"no way I'm eating that"
....
"well, just a little bite"
"hey, not bad..."
Don't forget "Let's get this onto a tray". Or my personal favorite "Nice".
"Ah, that's disgusting."
(takes another bite)
"No way, sorry guys. There is no way I am eating that. When you get to experience as many of these things as I have you know there is no way this is any good...... Oh man, what am I getting myself into...... Oh man that is cooked!"
What about the classic - " Tastes okay.....awww, aw.....nope wrong again. It has turned."
"oh wow"
"hmm thats.. wow.. super creamy"
“That does not seem edible”
*eats it*
Steve's channel in a nutshell.
Should be a t shirt he should sell
I think Steve is sandbagging on us. He definitely played house!
Steve, You are so fun to watch! These things are fascinating and it seems there's always something new in these vids. Nice Work, Mista!
"...well maybe this one last bite" -Steve's tombstone.
Viceroy's are still sold in the US but are generally more popular in Europe, particularly in Eastern Europe, and Asia. Viceroy was the first cork tipped smoke, introduced in 1936, and the first cellulose acetate filter, brought out in 1961. The cork tip was supposed ot appeal to women so they didn't get tobacco leaves stuck between their teeth. It apparently worked since Viceroy was the most popular cork tipped cigarette by 1940.
The cellulose acetate filter did even better since the filter color was white compared to the cork filter, which was generally brown. It was so poplar with women that Brown & Williamson, the makers of Viceroy, felt they were losing too much market share to women. In 1960, about 75% of all cigarettes were sold to men, so having a cigarette that appealed too much to women was felt to be eating into sales to men. In the 60's Viceroy was a sponsor for several different auto racing teams. They even partnered with Tag-Heuer, a popular brand of watch used in Formula 1 and sports car racing teams. Unfortunately for Tag, Viceroy convinced them to come out with a relatively inexpensive version of one of their racing watches. Tag was a competitor with Rolex when this happened in the early 70's, and Tag took several decades to regain its reputation as a super accurate racing watch,
Sar Jim my aunt and uncle loved smoking viceroy, they were popular during the 1970's in my hometown
It was a commonly sold brand from the 30's up until the 90's. It has been described as a Lucky with a filter. I smoked them on and for a couple decades. B&W was involved in long running litigation with the FTC and the other "Big Five" tobacco companies. One result was a an agreement with British American Tobacco (BAT) for B&W to sell off their low priced brands to a small subsidiary company, Commonwealth Tobacco, LLC. Since they weren't part of the "Big Five" tobacco companies, they weren't subject to antitrust rulings against the major brands. Commonwealth became the most profitable tobacco companies in the US.
B&W's Vice President of Research & Development, Jeffrey Wigand, eventually became involved in a battle over tobacco additives used to enhance "throat hit" and also to increase the effectiveness of nicotine delivery. The brand used to test the results of the research was Viceroy. The president of B&W wanted to use these additives, even though his own chief scientist warned of the cancer risk of these high delivery additives. Wigand was, in effect, fired, but allowed to retire and keep all his company benefits in exchange for his promise not reveal the results of his research at B&W. After a year long battle with B&W, including death threats on his children and having a full time bodyguard, Wigand's unedited interview with "60 Minutes" finally aired on February 4, 1996. The interview and his documentation of B&W's using additives to increase the effectiveness of nicotine's addictive properties became the literal "smoking gun" for the tobacco industry. Things for the tobacco industry would never be the same again.
As I remember Viceroy and Parliament were relatively mild cigarettes. A lot of people started with them. Cigarettes anyone could smoke. Probably why they were included in the MRE
We got em in canada and now they are some of the worst and harshest cigarettes i ever smoked
Let me make a few corrections on your Viceroy and corked or filtered cigarettes. First of all, Viceroy was far from the first Cork tipped cigarette produced. Though they claimed to be they weren't. As far back as 1911 cigarette manufacturer of Egyptienne Luxury and London Life in 1914...following by Craven A in 1926...Corked cigarettes were a marketing strategy for women so Viceroy would have been 25 years after the first corked cigarettes were produced. My family's brand (Reynolds tobacco) in fact produced the very first fiber filter tipped cigarette in 1954 with it production of Winston and Salem cigarettes. So Viceroy's weren't even close to being the first cork filtered cigarette. Reynold's tobacco's claims in 2011 that Viceroy's introduced the first cork filters were incorrect. Though they may have meant the first introduced here in America they didn't do enough research to back their claims. I'm not sure which website you went to for your information but it would be wrong in it's claims. Family or not Reynolds should fix this misinformation to the public.
These videos always make me hungry and relaxed lol. Also I love learning about the history of the older variety MRE's and Rations.
this was probably the most captivating 41 minutes of entertainment ive ever watched! best video on your channel IMO but theyre all amazing anyways! love how true you stay to the preservation of the packaging in all of these videos. Museums must love you
"Sometimes I've got to be careful with this stuff".
Please be careful all the time Steve. Nobody eats history like you.
That 'Military Spread' (05:45) sounds like the stuff my late father told me about. He was called up in 1946, just missing the war. He said they had a butter substitute that was only just palatable, and they called it 'Garry grease'. After he left the army, in the mid 1950's, he never ate substitute butter, or margarine again. This is a fascinating channel. Thanks for showing us this stuff.
Thanks for sharing all of these great rations. Like you I am excited every time you open each package.
Your stomach is bulletproof after eating all of these old MRE's . Love the vids man. Thanks for the quality entertainment and history lesson.
Those chickens and cows he is eating roamed the earth 6 decades ago
That is an interesting thing to ponder
Did you see the civil war hard tack he ate that roamed the earth over 150 years ago? It's one of my all time favorite clips on all of TH-cam. Epic history!

im very happy im able to support you on patreon at this point, these videos are entertaining and all, but i feel it goes a bit without thought how much work and dedication you actually put into finding these rations and showcasing them to all of us.

Is it weird to feel nostalgic about something you've never experienced? Something about Vietnam era rations feel so familiar. Same with the smell of tarp tents.
Friendly Metroid : Dang I still remember the smell of those tents. We used them during Reforger. Nearly froze my butt off, too!
When I was like 5 years old, (born in 1980) we had this giant 6 man canvas army tent we would set up in the yard in the summer time and sleep outside. The smell of that tent is burned into my mind forever. Whether or not the smell is actually "good" is not not up for debate in my mind, the memories it bring makes it overwhelmingly positive :) Nice comment Koko
all these rations, even current MREs have this very unique smell. Its like a plastic...military surplus smell. I was in the military and this is what those individual first aid kits smell like at maximum level for some reason. The sunscreen in those things smells "nostalgic" too. I would use the sunscreen just to have an excuse to smell it lol.
yup but in the Air Force we had diesel heater no smell but hard to regulate the heat, heat setting 1 was about right dang thing went to 10 when we first light ours up we set at 5 like it said to do and dang if it didn't feel like sauna in the tent when we got back from setting the metal grates temp landing strip all day at 28 degrees out and with the USAF mummy bags holy crap it was hot so the next night we set it at setting 1 which was just right it was like an old potbelly stove and good to cook on, only thing I hated was the shower tents fring cold lol BUT yes the smell of the old tent that canvas circus smell and Movie night with the smell of roasted peanuts and pop-corn aww the memories lol the Army guys use to sneak over just to get cups of coffee, hot chocolate, caned beer and roasted pea-nuts and pop corn watch a movie then snake back out lol
I never played Metroid, BUT I did play a loooot of Super Smash Bros. and then Super Smash Bros. Melee. Damn that brings back some great memories, nice!
Your enthusiasm is contagious. I find myself getting excited to see what is in that next little packet too.
You sir are an, "Historical Conflict Gastro Archaeologist".
This is one of my favorite all-time Steve finds and videos. What a gem.
My dad brought some of the stuff home in the 60s because he was a supply sergeant so had access to it. The beef stew one was really really good. The bread was kind of disgusting unless you sliced it and toasted it and then it was really good. I never thought I would see any of this stuff again this is amazing thank you.
Dude! All your vids are amazing but this one straight up belongs in the Hall of Fame. So many exceptional moments.
Thanks for all your content Steve. So nice to hear you so excited. Defo one of the best openings I’ve seen in my years watching. Thank you!
Steve you just tried food one year older than me and you didn't disappoint you rock in military food history again!!!
