I have absolutely no idea why I find these MRE videos so compelling, but they are strangely soothing. Like sitting down to a meal with a total stranger another world or another lifetime away. I can imagine some cold soldier stealing a moment of personal humanity sipping sweetened milk in a world of chaos. Thx Kbsh’d
It's the unboxing aspect and the shared experience. I started the MRE collecting and eating hobby 4 years ago and it's an obsession that is still fresh today.
We used Russian crackers to make temp repairs in out boat. We ground them up and added a small amount of water to make a thick paste, then plastered it in the hull. Worked great for about 11 days until we got to Rybovich
I remembered the sweet condensed milk from your Belarus mre video, I immediately thought Eric is going to love that. It would be nice if components from mre’s were available for purchase. Some of the European mre’s have “over the counter” or “off the shelf “ elements that would be great for creating your own custom mre.
@@SusanLand thank you, I have it in a can, but don’t remember seeing it in such a portable container. There are a bunch of other items in European and British MRE’s that would be nice to easily pick up.
@@Olyphoto7 It is available in the squeezy bags, although they can be a little harder to find. I like the squeezy bags best because they are easy to reseal, unlike having an open can in the fridge. Try mixing in a little cinnamon and pouring it over your pancakes sometime.
Hello, about the condensed milk, you can use it in different ways, for example you used sugar in a tea, we can use it with crackers, we can use it with the tea to replace sugar, or coffee, also there is energising drink, which is made with tea, coffee and the condensed milk and youll get some energising drink more concentrated than red bull, also you can drink it without everything so youll get enough fast calories for the day, also if youll boil it for 2 hours you will get very similar thing to toffee
j klep, I agree. Got hooked on these videos, for some reason during covid start from a friend who turned me on to them. And I look forward to every new posting.
Great video, as always. & At least in India, you'd use the condensed milk in tea. Our ex army Gurkha guide served those in my village. Best tea ever & I hate tea. 😄 also, the fruit drink thing looks like a Kompot mix.
The tea is called Maisky Chai. I ordered a couple boxes of it after trying it in the Russian rations. Another good tea is Greenfield Golden Ceylon. It comes in the Lithuanian rations. Both available on Amazon.
Lest we forget lighting the table on fire🤣🤣 On the buckwheat... its either a staple, or its like Fosters in Australia.... or as they told me down there "Fosters- thats that piss we send to you Americans, we drink Guiness"🤣
Nice one, I haven't seen this one before. I have a handful of Russian 24 rations that I managed to get just before the current war in Ukraine became a problem. The supply of those is really tight now after they shut down any ebay shipping from Russia.
13:00 I feel like it’s more fitting as food for dogs than cats. Maybe like meat pate for cats but dogs just have a much more diverse energy requirement compared to cats who primarily just eat meat.
Always great content. I believe the cheese was probably for the meat, cause the Russian guy uses the milk on his crackers. Thanks again, looking forward to your next build.🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
It's hard to comment on something that you haven't tasted but you made me think and I remembered that I had some MREs from 15 years ago I am curious to see what they taste like now as I had forgotten about them I suppose I need to go through what little food I've got put back and make sure they're okay and see if I still got any old MREs anyway I will come back to this and let you know if that MRE was any good see you in a few well more than a few I will hit the notification Bell three times to let you know that I have tried it so in addition to how long it is now it's going to be even longer or I could add a separate call me I'm not supposed anyway later
I have a question, how do you recieve these rations without customs ransacking it? I have asked alot of reviewers with no reply. If you could enlighten me it would be great.
Do not order from sanctioned countries! Ordering from Russian or Belarus is 100% of the time getting ransacked. Latvia and Estonia also have high ransacking rates so try from Kazakhstan I’ve had amazing luck getting around 10 Russian rations through Kazakh although customs did look at the packages they never opened them.
Looks ok adding cheese to the buckwheat would probably make it more palatable to any human, I would have to recommend subsidising this with whatever fresh food they can get from the environment.
Any Russians here? I always wonder just how official these types of Russian rations are as they look much more commercial than MREs/IMPs here in North America. I have peanut butter packed like that milk, it is more expensive so I just pack it as a survival ration. I see you have the Humangear Uno spork; we have a ton of them and they are our go to for work lunches, my spouse uses hers at home too. I put a few new ones away in case I lose the others. A most excellent spork.
"room temperature water"? Imagine what that means right now in Ukraine, below zero. I also noticed that the cooking stove had the standard 3 three tablets, the extra two will come in handy to at least warm up a foxhole for those guys. Now sure which is worse, below freezing all day each day or the desert heat. I have worked in near freezing weather fixing fighters and it wasn't fun, but must admit that it was raining as well. Freezing cold and wet is no fun.
If your worried about what kinda beef it is then you should really be worried with any kinda beef here in the state's truthfully. Our food has so much nonsense in it that it's not even near 100% beef anymore. Especially if you ever eat at fast food joints you definitely aren't getting real beef.
Soldiers generally strip the ration packs of stuff we are generally not going to use and laugh and shake our heads at what you guy snare doing. these vids are made for citvies for some reason,.

Completely agree with you!
It's the unboxing aspect and the shared experience. I started the MRE collecting and eating hobby 4 years ago and it's an obsession that is still fresh today.
I agree with you even as a soldier we humasn need to have a moment whole to regain our focus, balance, and ego in order to be able to survive.
Right? I don’t get why they are so interesting haha

Sweetened condensed milk is available everywhere. You can usually find it on the baking aisle.

Putin called. The Russians need their ration back.
Haha. They probably do.

Érdekes videó lett!😀👍👍👍

Most Europeans put milk and sugar or cream. Into their tea, so the milk is for the tea
i love the mre videos so much i have a strange suggestions why not film these in the wilderness like maybe a camp
Excellent video sir. Could the milk be for the beef and oats? Kinda like stroganoff?
I have a friend from Belarus who I asked what the condensed milk would be used for and she said "anything you want". I think she was right.
Vous avez gagné un abonné.😊
Thanks
The drink is kompot. If is a fruit drink. It can be cold or hot.
Thanks!
An MRE that only lasts a year? Is that normal? 🤔
As long as it passes the cat test, lol
13:00 I feel like it’s more fitting as food for dogs than cats. Maybe like meat pate for cats but dogs just have a much more diverse energy requirement compared to cats who primarily just eat meat.
was the brown drink maybe kvass or kompot?
Always great content. I believe the cheese was probably for the meat, cause the Russian guy uses the milk on his crackers. Thanks again, looking forward to your next build.🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸
maybe the crackers are used to repair the bullet holes in the armoured vehicles. 😏
ah yes. non soluble solids floating in water, a staple of any good MRE 😂

Steve1989MRE eats rations older than 15 years lol

you just have to hope you get lucky

maybe the chackers are dry to force you to drink the tea/fruit drink/water for hydration???
That's a possibility for sure
the cat test, lol
Looks ok adding cheese to the buckwheat would probably make it more palatable to any human, I would have to recommend subsidising this with whatever fresh food they can get from the environment.
Russians really love sweetened condensed milk. I suspect you were meant to put it on the crackers and eat them with the tea after you meal.
Isn’t your cat a “Russian Blue”? Makes sense that he likes it
Yep!
You know this ration is designed to feed 20 men right?

This is not an ordinary ration, but a commercial, ordinary crappy one, like Russia itself .
@@Sln_man The Russian mafia will come for you
yeah...the biggest country in the world...crappy😆
It was probably a teat with fruit
Can you tell me about your water pitcher please
I don't know how I'm gonna tell you,
I can't play with you no more,
I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me,
My friend, the girl next door.

They are not napkins, it is toilet paper!
I enjoy your MRE vids. However, "weary" ( as you pronounced Leary and teary) = tired; "wary" (as in Mary and marry) = skeptical.
Meant to say leery. Nobody's perfect.
i am just wondering does the US have a mre that has buckwheat meal in it???
To my knowledge, no. Buckwheat dishes seem to be more of a Eastern European & Russian thing.
@@KitbashedSurvival good to know thanks for the info :)
We Americans tend to take our buckwheat in pancakes ( for our foreign readers' aid). Perhaps this shows a certain lack of imagination.
It’s not army ration. It’s commercial mre
Meh, same thing more or less.
Reminds me of catfood lol

Russians define beef about as well as liberals define 'woman'
hey i'm a liberal...what's a woman???
Hahaha
Can’t believe with all that’s going on with Russia that you’re actually gonna support them by buying their meals ready to eat😢
i bet you do not buy anything made in china...yeah right.
I bought this in 2021...before the Ukraine war started.
Cool, love ur Chanel ! 😁
Why, just send the MRE to @Steve1989 and let him do it!
