Think breakfast style MRE with sweets and crunch. Enjoy menu #20 of the newer MRE series with me as we unbox and eat this interesting meal. It was actually quite good.
Loved your story about your trip in Groningen. I myself am Dutch and I was pleasantly surprised by this story! Your videos are amazing and this story just made me even more of a fan! On your question about jobs in different places: Depending if you already work for a company you sometimes indeed need papers and help from officials to get you to work somewhere else for said company. But these days you can mostly go to wherever you want and work wherever you want as long as the job you looking for accepts you that is haha.
Perhaps they were talking about moving into another country in Europe because moving inside the Netherlands has never been under licence as a citizen. Besides WWII of course when the German skinheads were in power.
Come for the stories and stay for the food. I'd like to see ya do it over a fire where you can cook the foods that should be heated. I'm sure you did that at one point in the field. Love this stuff, and good job ace with the camera skills
yet another great MRE review there. The memories you shared with us about your relatives from Holland was simply amazing i loved the fact you got to connect with distant relatives like that and they were interested to learn about you as well! your travelling in the navy allowed you to meet them its so cool to hear stories like that i love them!
The story about moving provinces and needing to contact about the government and all that is still partially true, but it’s way less work. It’s merely just some paperwork for moving out and all that. Great video!!
Great story about going to Holland and meeting your extended family. I have a similar story about going to Germany and meeting my family in Basel, and they were so happy and accommodating I considered moving there permanently. My family members who left escaped the war, and were still alive so meeting me only two generations removed was me meeting great aunts, and uncles, and some second cousins and I felt the immediate familiar connection and my great uncle showed me pictures where I looked almost exactly like him in my 20's. Separated by a ocean, but still so close. The elders of that time are gone now, and I've written to one of my second cousins not to long ago, but time again has separated us. It was a beautiful moment in life.
I wonder if the matches are in this MRE because it was cheaper to keep them in rather than try and make a new package without them. Anyways, I appreciate your videos. As someone who is in the process of enlisting it really is enjoyable to see the evolution of the MRE's and it's even better to hear your amazing stories!! Thank you for your service!!
Nice got to meet family way over there fantastic .Id mile to see a fire video . Love to try this menu myself .remember the egg breakfast with the potateos and eggs always put cheese in it or the augraten potatoes that was good too
I lived in Little Rock for two years. Met and married my beautiful bride of 41 years there. She grew up in Jacksonville for her junior high and high school years. How about you?
That was a well balanced .....just like yourself......it still makes me mad about people really smart like yourself that unfortunately got drug in the ring of fire....of war....god bless....your a true survivor.....excellent reveiw......thank you
Thank you for your balls.you sacrificed so much for us.i will luv you forever.such a blessing.thank you for ace and micah.youtube would have to change its name if they weren't part of it.luv ya me ancient
I think it'd be a good idea if you try to make an MRE on account fire or replicated the way how the Marines eat them out there in the field keep doing videos you do a job
I would have done this with a fire....heat up some boiling water to he both the hash browns and granola....and fry 2 eggs sunny side up for hash browns....add some Tabasco
Allow me to jump on the bandwagon. I loved every bit of that story, from coincidentally hitching with an American, to the little girl thinking you're a Nazi, to the Patriarch clunking down the road in his wooden shoes....all of it. I really like how the stories are weaving through the video's too, that was a great idea. PS Mini-Wheats Blueberry is my favorite cereal, I'm a blueberry nut so I thought that "granola" looked delicious.
I'm not a huge fan of most cereals as a kid we usually had warm /cooked breakfast. But all of my family did and I do love frosted mini wheats for movie watching snacking Strawberry and blueberry are the best but ive had other random flavors i like too. One I had once and loved but I don't know if it was name brand or not. Apple cinnamon frosted mini wheats. They were yummy.
Thank you for your service my dad had just graduated high school in 1965 when he got drafted into the army his younger brothers 1 of them was in the marines it was a funny time when my dad and his brother hung out they always said funny things to each other
Great story and review . I would like to try that ration some day. I say go for the campfire. It would add a nice touch. I always like your settings, not in the same place all the time. Looking forward to the next review.
Hey Marine! Watching you mix the beveridge powder reminded me of how we (the boiler techs) aboard ship would scrub clean the stainless steel deckplates down in the fireroom. We had a 5 gallon bucket we'd put "bug-juice" concentrate with out sugar...add water and scrub the deckplates. The soap we added resulted in red or green foamy solution. This concoction allowed us to de-grease the deckplates as the citric acid in the bug juice concentrate would break up grease and oil residues. Made the fireroom smell somewhat better for an hour or so. We used the 10 gallon pack in 3-4 gallons of water, it was super concentrated like how you started your mix.
Me Ancient, thank you for your service and this video! My mouth was watering as I watched this one. Please do a video with a campfire especially if the heater isn't doing a good enough job. It would definitely add to the ambiance of the video
The blueberry granola is probably one of my favourite US ration items. Its so full of blueberries, the taste is amazing. Thank you for the story! Wishing you and your family a very Happy Christmas! :)
Thank you for the great review videos ! I’ve been watching just to listen to your awesome stories as well! If I wanted to send you a Ration to review, where would I send it ?
Me Ancient, love your stories. You are a natural story teller. 🤗 This meal looked tasty. Keep em coming! Ever thought about bringing more of the family into your videos like Micah does. Just think of those grand kids hearing gramps telling his stories? That would be cool. Maybe they are too young to appreciate the stories? Future videos?
You are very welcome. Keep praying for God's wisdom and to know His will for your life. That's what we are doing, along with other things, of course. TFW, David!
Thanks you for the video ! And thanks you also for all your stories ! It's pleaseant to listen at it :) If you want a French MRE, I can do something for you ;) Greetings from France !
Love your reviews and stories. The campfire would be great because even used properly, American heaters don’t always work well. The hash browns are so good if you heat them up, and then fry them a bit in your mess pan over the fire.
I replied on your last video, on the subject of the crackers. They are "crumbly" because of the lack of trans fat in the modern crackers. It was a formula change that caused the modern brittleness.
Re the Cheese. In the 1980's in the British Army, rations were different then 24 hour not by meal, in the bigger multi packs for 10 people there was always a couple of tins of cheese called...Cheese Processed.....Came known as Cheese Possessed. I have tasted several US MRE's and the cheese is always the same as those long ago UK bulk ration packs. Maybe its a way of preserving the cheese longer. Remember..."Cheese Processed/Possessed".
The Old Man of the Phils (Philippines) checking in again. Way cool when you can physically visit a possible place of your family origin and then find those long lost relatives. The German side of my family emigrated (legally !) to the USA in the late 1800s. My Paternal Grandparents made a trip to Germany. Searching for relatives was part of their itinerary. They entered what was then E. Germany and located one older gentleman with our family name. As far back as they could trace, there was no connection. He told my Grandparents not to bother contacting the one other person in the phonebook with our family name, she was his Ex-wife so not a relation. Just noticed I neglected to whack that subscribe button, will rectify that post haste.
I love how you interact with your children as a father I know bringing back memories must be hard for you but I watch all of your channels if you ever get around Nashville somehow get in touch with me my name is Joshua Johnson I live in Ashland City Tennessee I watch all of your videos ace , Micah and your videos if there's some way you get a hold of me I'm on Facebook and TH-cam and that's it but I could show you some really good Creek fishing crawfishing and striped bass and good catfishing I would really love to get to know y'all I've been watching y'all for years I love the family-oriented type y'all are
After watching so many of these videos and having been able to have mre when i was young(my dad had a friend who bought them somewhere and brought them all back all the time) we had them stashed in the camper and at deer camp and in the cars for emergency stuck away from home(we kindavate them as teens tho. They never lasted in our vehicles to go bad lol But I'd love to maybe take some and with a bit of extra ingredients that you might find left over in pantries. Kinda like a MRE Chopped game lol. No time limits tho. I wanna make the best possible meal. Like maybe grinding the hard tac down into flour and use the blueberry granola to make a form of muffins or steamed cake (aka English pudding style) Lots of fun things to try.
As per usual I loved the story friend. Also, those heaters are AWFUL! Idk if they only work when brand new, or what the deal is. But I have never personally had one work, or work well enough to heat something. I have no idea why. So I fully feel you with the heaters.
That's a great story, I was born in Germany through military parents, (at the time dad was Army and mom was Air Force) I would love to see where I was born ...Dad went Air Force when we came back to the states
I understand this is an older video, and I still love your guys’ videos. I just have to say that there’s no tomatoes in Tabasco. I’m guessing someone has said that, but I couldn’t watch it again and not say it.
This was my favorite mre when I went through basic in 2019. I made sure to heat it up well and I’d add the cheese spread onto the hash giving that salty taste added a lot more flavor to it. The granola and blueberries were also great. Thanks for sharing!, many blessings to y’all, a brother in faith. Cheers

You could make videos of you just sitting there telling your stories and I'd watch, and love, every second of it. Your videos never disappoint.
My second favorite menu. First being Chilli.. yummy stuff! Good stories as usual. Happy holidays to you and yours!
I love all of your stories. I could listen to them all day, you’re such a good story teller. Thanks for your videos.
Idk why but I’ve been watching you eat mre’s all week
by far one of the best mre reviewers for the awesome stories he tells while waiting for the FRH
I wonder if the matches are in this MRE because it was cheaper to keep them in rather than try and make a new package without them. Anyways, I appreciate your videos. As someone who is in the process of enlisting it really is enjoyable to see the evolution of the MRE's and it's even better to hear your amazing stories!! Thank you for your service!!
The story are incredible. I could listen to your story for hours on end.
Love your way of looking at life and the way you
The way you brought up your boys is what i was trying to say
Videos are awesome! Keep them coming!
Great story! I really enjoyed that.
we still use those same canteen, metal cup and canteen holsters to this day.
As always, a big thank you for making these!
Very nice , do like your videos . like the back rounds, looks like a sweet place to live .
Nice got to meet family way over there fantastic .Id mile to see a fire video . Love to try this menu myself .remember the egg breakfast with the potateos and eggs always put cheese in it or the augraten potatoes that was good too
Love your stories, stay for the food… keep it up
My husband company makes those napkins for the MREs... the company is called The Lighthouse for the Blind
Never had breakfast mre before, very interesting.
Love MRE my favorite is the beef stew and hello from Iowa
Ya .God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts
That mre sounds good also thank you for your service.
Type 2 orange drink was good, especially after drinking nothing but water all day. It was a treat.
I can see that. I was in the Corps with a guy by the given name of Jesse James. Were you in the Corps?
@@MeAncient no Army, and James isn't real last name.
I would love that for breakfast. Hell I'm a civi and it looks good.
Story’s are always good. Yes I think a small fire pit would add to the whole thin.
Wait for it....I have received a few MREs from subs and I have an idea for one of them that may involve fire and fishing......TFW, Andrew
Thank you men. That food looks really good.
That blueberry muesli that you have man that stuff is good
Lovely story
try putting the salt in the ration heater along with the water, that might help it work better
Wait wait wait, you have been to Arkansas??? That's where I live😀
I lived in Little Rock for two years. Met and married my beautiful bride of 41 years there. She grew up in Jacksonville for her junior high and high school years. How about you?
@@MeAncient going to school in the north west
Amazing story
Plenty more coming......TFW, Vance.
i am from holland myself well actually my parents come from colonies. interesting to hear you story!
Try putting the cheese spread in your heater to soften it up.
That was a well balanced .....just like yourself......it still makes me mad about people really smart like yourself that unfortunately got drug in the ring of fire....of war....god bless....your a true survivor.....excellent reveiw......thank you
I had the menü and love the müsli with blueberries, better than the travellunch müslis from our german EPA
The hiss is everthing
Maybe the matches are to light a fire, to boil the water for your coffee.
Thank you for your balls.you sacrificed so much for us.i will luv you forever.such a blessing.thank you for ace and micah.youtube would have to change its name if they weren't part of it.luv ya me ancient
Kinda reminds me of Japan, You have to let your local government know when you're moving 😅
🙌 Yes @campfire
Greetings from the Nederlands
Heat it!! Love would love to see the difference ❤️
The food would be hot if you used the heater properly! Put item(s) in the heater, THEN add the water, then close it and shake so it activates.
I think it'd be a good idea if you try to make an MRE on account fire or replicated the way how the Marines eat them out there in the field keep doing videos you do a job
I would have done this with a fire....heat up some boiling water to he both the hash browns and granola....and fry 2 eggs sunny side up for hash browns....add some Tabasco
Kevin, eggs in an MRE.......there's an idea. TFW
Gon fishin
I think you meant to say incongruous. Not in congress
For cigarettes
There you go. TFW

You can tell this guy is a Marine. "Why do we have matches?" Well, maybe to start a fire. And maybe even make some hot water for your coffee?
Always a pleasure to hear your stories....it has my imagination going.
I renember when you tested polish mre

Its bugging me so much that he's not prepping his mre quickly. Almost never had enough time to make these things😅
I come for the stories and stay for the meal. Thanks for these videos and God bless 🙌 🇨🇦

Im loving the reviews and stories. Thanks for sharing it with us.
.. what happened to those tiny Tabasco bottles, those were Perfect for the Corned Beef Hash..🌶️🔥😋
Nice cheese rope lol
I like your videos - they relax me. Thanks a bunch 🙂🇺🇸
Maybe switch it up by cooking some classic meals outdoors?

Another good one guys good show. Guess they all can't be favorites hu? It will fill a hole in a pinch I guess that's kinda all that matters
That was a neat story! When the girl slammed the door in your face, I was thinking maybe you looked like someone in her family.
Awesome Story! Keep them up! Excellent! Thanks
Outstanding Story!

Alfred, cheers to you, my friend. What branch did you serve in? TFW
I enjoy your mre videos, but why don't you ever use the cardbord sleeve when heating your food?
I love the fact that you give thanks to the lord awesome!!!!!!!
Great review and stories guys what did ace think of the granola? I really like the main and the granola
Yes sir for the next one make a fire and warm your items using it. That should make for a wonderful time.
another great video, I think they could have left out the matches for some Tabasco..
Switzerland is the same way, you need government permission to move.
Add little salt
Cleanse the old pallet
Me ancient sayings lol good too hear another wonderful sir 💪🏽
Oh god i really love you'r videos, these videos are making me really happy 👍
You could replicate how the troops would prepare foods over a camp fire to 👀 how they did that routine.
