Who Doesn't Love Strippers! ~Field Stripping MRE's!~

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.พ. 2019
- This review is how I field strip MREs from waaaaay back in the day when I served on Fort Bragg. The main goal was to save space and weight not to mention ditch or trade stuff you didn't like with the other guys/gals doing the same around you. So join Ol' Gundog for a trip down memory lane and the Fayettenam Strippers!

Gosh darn it, i saw the title and thought gundog was gonna shake his money maker for us
My only "field" service was in 1971, so it was loooong before MREs. And didn't have to carry stuff, either. So the only items I'd strip out of an MCI or a LRRP were the items I didn't want to eat at all. The "better than gold" trade items were canned peaches and pound cake - and if you had both, you could get ANYthing for them.
I'll trade you canned Apricots, Ham slices in juices and 2 John Wayne bars for your sliced peaches.
Our friend (Viet Nam) used to trade the cookies and other desserts for entrees. He wanted to food value of the entree even the lima bean cans!
YOU DID NOT KEEP THE COFFFFFFEEE ? I used to have a small jar of it with me as the little bit they gave was not enough . Even in bad weather hot coffee always made you feel better . Black tea worked also .
One of our most prized pieces of gear that was part of our Track ancillary gear was a M-1950 multifuel stove. we burned Mo-Gas in it and used it to make coffee and hot coa coa and heat up our C-Rats in the field. ( Really MCI meals )
@@Bill23799 We used heat tabs they looked like Alker seltzers but worked good , got hold of hundreds of them and used them for years , One would be enough to heat up a canteen cup for coffee : )
He does say it's for field use with no hot water.
@@simonmaguire5250 Yeah, but we used to keep the coffee and sugar. Mix it together and dip it like skoal. You'd be surprised at how it helped on long ops when you already been up three days.
@@papabones6307 I hope I never find out, as I've never been in any military but I have been know to eat chocolate covered coffee beans, as I'm hard-core. I had milk, white and dark mix.
You may regret throwing away the toilet paper. Thank you for the video
Awesome video, I must say. But just shows how it is when you are in the field. Really opened my eyes to what soldiers go through in battle or war situations. Thank you sir for your service. Please keep the videos coming. Cheers Sir
I loved watching this vid.
Gave me a really cool insight as to how a soldiers mind works when it comes down to necessities, and weight/size management of what you have to carry.
Great vid :)
I remember doing this. BUT!!! I did keep my Coffee pack as dried Energy.
Nice vid, brings back memories!😁👍We did do some things in similar way in all the Arty units I served in. When I was in the 7th ID, we did take pretty much everything, but all cardboard and packaging was discarded and we kept the coffee and would just eat it out of the packet, (yeah I know, gross). Plus we didn't get heaters till around late 91 and they didnt come with the meal. Nothing like cold Ham and Chicken Loaf on a cold night in Ft. Hunter Liggett.😧🤢🤮
We used to dip the instant coffee, especially on all night ops.
@@papabones6307 This. Spent many a night with an instant coffee dip in.
Who likes strippers ? THIS GUY ! oh … " field stripping MRE's " Yeah that is good too !
Totally where we all went.
You all just have dirty, filthy minds. HAHA
Great insight on how those mre's would be stripped down in the field ..great video! And thankyou for your service.
Great video Gundog!
We had huge boxes of things either didn't want or couldn't figure out what to do with it. I used to drink alot of coffee so I scrounged creamer and sugar. At least they had bottled water most of the time . You learned how to talk while drinking it in several of the really hot places. In Somalia we had boxed water from Mt. Kilimanjaro streams. It was good tasting water but sometimes it was crunchy or wiggled when you drank it. We always raided the Army for TP. They had the good stuff. I don't know where we got it but ours had splinters in it you could see.
Remember kids, field stripping is not rat*ucking an MRE. That will earn you a serious problem!
This was really awesome to see. I know my father in law was in Vietnam in the sixties and he told me how they stripped down their food. He said there has to be so many cans of food out there that guys just tossed away. Hope to see more:)
Best way to do this is with a group in your fire team, squad or section. Many thing you like, others won't so you can trade back and forth so you can end up with some good chow.
Well done. As much as I love watching the various MRE videos, I’ve always thought “I never had that much time to prepare an MRE, especially when I was in the 82d.” This is a great video. Keep up the good work! 🤘
I know right? Seems most people think you have an hour lunch out in the field HAHA
As we gather and store MREs for the upcoming "Big Pop" ,we also made strong decisions regarding recycle of useful items,and storage of unused piece parts.My service never had MREs,so they are new to us both.A few shared single meals,proved me correct. Each MRE is capable of supporting two adults in survival mode easily,and with much less water needed than freeze dried survival foods.And,a more varied diet as well.
I suppose you could share a single meal in a survival situation but survival and sustainment and two different animals. Cheers!
Necessity is the mother of invention Gungdog 👍
hi gundog, I’m a Chinese, love your videos so much. As I know, the 17th version of the Chinese military ration was out in the market, it’s better than the 09th and the 13th versions. (TBH, I tried the 09 and 13, they taste just so so)
And if possible, please try some Chinese military canned food, these are the true major supplies and the first choice. Those canned food really taste great. Hope to see more new things from your channel, much love❤️
Thanks for the heads up I'll have to see what is available on the market. Cheers
I'm British. Gotta keep the tea - the only half-decent thing in there!
Excellent! I think many don´t know this.
Love to see it Gdog how I used to do it always keep the peanut butter use it like the energy gel in the first strike rations they have now 👍
The old LBE made carrying coffee and drink mixes easier just by having an extra compression bandage pouch added on to your web belt or your ALICE pack. Cold coffee is better than no coffee, I think we'd all agree. Even putting your coffee into an old MRE bag and putting that into a cargo pocket would work.
All that is true but I wasn't a major coffee drinker back then, honestly I'm still not but I enjoy a cup every now and then.
Thanks for the info. I'll try what you did
If you do these up for yourself add in anything else you like, extra coffee, tea, more gum whatever. Cheers James
COFFEE BAD 😜
The glue keeps it from raddling around in the case.
I always get rid of the cappuccino/hot chocolate mixes. Too much sugar and junk. Candy goes too. Never liked sweets. Pound cake for sure breakfast! Coffee is a must! FRH for coffee and meal since you have choice between one or the other. Raisins and craisins I save up and eat about 2-3 packages at one time so that I can finally go number 2 after a few days. Learned that in pre-mob training for deployment May 2017. Still in Iraq. I then kept the wheat snack bread and PB&J to make sandwiches. I basically was making meals. PB&J is good for all meals of the day and as a snack. I traded candy for better stuff since kids these days only seem to like candy.
I'd love to see your take on stripping rations in different packaging, like C-rats, those russian rations in the green bags, or multi-man rations.
C-Rats are easy, just take them out of the box and put them in the radio pouch of your pack. Those foil tins are a whole nother animal in safely storing them so they won't bust open. Which is why I suspect its in a box. Now the Russian Mountain ration with the retort pouches that thing could be cut to half the size with a little tape to hold meals together.
U killed me by using scissors 🤣 No leatherman? Shit or even a gerber😅
That was an awesome idea for a video. Really enjoyed that. Cheers mate.
Might have to strip a CR1M!? LOL
Great ideas Gundog! Trimming the fat!
New sub. Emmymadeinjapan sent me. 🤓 Great video!
Great video, field stripping is so important for the infantry who have lug all that stuff using their Leather Personnel Carriers. I'm ex Armoured Corps so we would sometimes turn our vehicles into mobile Wal-Marts, further enhanced by the fact the Aussie Army specifically has a 3-4 man 24Hr ration for crews which is near gourmet.
Hmm This is a great idea. Sometimes we have "leftovers" that we want to keep. We have packaged them into ziplocks but I like this idea better. Something we don't use either like the drinks (but until recently we had those awful 1980's rations too.... blech. Also took us a long time to give them another go.) I like the compactness and organization of it. We're not military ourselves, but have used MREs for ages for our woodsy outings, hikes etc. Easy way to carry a lunch and snacks- so many calories you don't need to drag along a bunch of other snacks. The '80's one grew too yuck over time though so we gave them up until recently. SOME other countries seem to provide a nicer food selection and I wish ours would too. I'd vote for better food for our military if it was ever our choice, even if it meant more tax....though I'm sure there's waste at the top that could be better diverted lol.
Question- did it seem to you that for a while..like later 80's they even got worse? We weren't savvy to production and inspection info so we may have bought older ones not realizing..(we used to think they were forever no matter how stored etc) but was there a down period where they got worse before they got better?
In my experience they didn't get decent till about 2010ish but that's just me. There is still a ton of room for improvement but I don't get consulted about stuff like that HAHA
I almost always strip five or so out of a box right off.
Does anyone know what happened to KiwiDude? I love all of the core mre guys we have come to love, but he kind of disappeared. Just hope he is ok.
I'd feel bad discarding the MRE spoon...seems like a waste when you think about all the Chuck Norrises it took to make it
Hmmm? Let me get a 5 pound hand sledge hammer and try that with the cans in the MCI meals ( C-Rats with no cigs )
they gave us when I served in the US Army Missile Artillery in West Germany in the 70's and 80's.
Being in a firing platoon we were NEVER in the Battery area so I can NOT conceive of discarding anything edible.
I can see if you were going out on a week long patrol and really had to travel very light weight though.
Would the best thing really be just to eat those 3 MRE all at the same time before you went out on patrol?
What better place to store food than your stomach?
Come on guys. I was asked to a do a vid on field stripping a MRE.
@@gundog4314 Hey I think you did a great job. I'm sure some folks would do that. But me......not take along food when I am not sure where my next meal is coming from, haha . I'm not built that way. And i am a pack rat.
Besides....what do think all them pockets were for on them WW II Field Pants they issued us as part of our TA-50 over there? haha. Worst part of TA-50 was the damn itchy wool shirts. Don't care how cold it got in Germany I never wore mine. I did wear the old school woolen underwear though.
@@Bill23799 without any cigaratte ?!? It would be disaster if you at patrol
I hear ya. Missile Artillery sounds like you were a Lance or Pershing guy with the 59th somewhere perhaps. It's easy if you have a big truck or whatever to carry tons of stuff. It's different if you have to carry it. I know I was an artillery guy too but when we ran out of bullets we suddenly became light infantry and to stress that point we did A LOT of road marches. In fact every Tuesday in lieu of PT we humped for 3-4 hours. Then the quarterly 20k's and annual 30-32 miler. In fact I remember the Sheridan Tank Battalion were always walking everywhere as it seemed their Tanks were broke down most of the time.
@@gundog4314 Yeah Gundog i was in A Btry 3rd Bn 79th FA which was part of 42nd Brigade. Originally part of V Corps. Wow..... we never had to walk anywhere in the field haha. If our track broke down or threw a track, which it would now and then, we would " Convert ". That means removing the Launch Truss from the bed in the tracked vehicle and using the mobility kit and attach 2 wheels, towbar and 4 jack down pads and then drop a missile on it and tow it with one of our extended bed 5 ton trucks.
We had normal PT every morning with a 2 mile run. Once a month the entire Battalion would run 5 miles through local forest. haha we never trained to be infantry. You make me feel like such a woosie.
I think in reality we might get off one or 2 missiles then Russian counter battery fire would wipe us out or evil Spetznaz would get us.
You should make a video, where you take 3 of your favorite MRE’s, pick out at least 2-3 items out of each, and combine them to make your ultimate MRE
That would be awesome!
I feel like, espeicaly now days with the FRH i would keep more stuff, especially coffee only Toss the boxes, extra spoon and stuff i don't like. But then again im not in the military and don't need to hike for days on end.
That is exactly why you get to field strip things the way you want to instead of the way you are told. Cheers
When were MRE's issued to you (daily, weekly, etc)??
Also, can you do a video on MRE cooking?? I've heard of things like Ranger pudding.
Thanks
I have done a few cooking vids and have made Ranger Pudding before. I think it's in my Field Chow vid. MREs were issued differently depending what base and mission you had. For example, at Bragg we were issued 6 MREs for our A bags which were always packed since we were a rapid deployment force. Just grab A bag and ruck and run out the door to Pope. The A Bag held field gear, uniforms, food, water purification, sleeping bag and a bunch of other stuff I don't recall (been 28 years or so) but enough to have us land on the ground in a foreign country without resupply for 3 days.
Your nuts to get rid of the tortillas or the creamer & sugar for that matter. You've only got 950 to 1100kcal per ration.
It's not like I did an in depth caloric intake analysis on this. I opened it and kept what I liked and ditched what I wouldn't use. Your version will vary quite a bit than mine. But the goal of the vid was simply to show how to make 3 meals take up significantly less space with a little bit of resource management.
You’re right Brother...who doesn’t love strippers 😂
Gundog i got one i'm about to upload
why not tape around each meal and put all three in one bag instead of three bags in another bag? You can ditch three of the bags.
Nothing says you can't do that but the outer bags do get useful for other things especially for stinky streaked under that hasn't been washed in a week or so.
You should keep the coffee and sugar. Just open and pour into your mouth and a swig of water makes a quick pick me up.
I did that in the Field Chow vid I think. Back then I wasn't a big coffee drinker. I got my fix from nicotine HAHA
I have often wondered why they weren’t more compact.
Because the Army secretly hates us HAHA
Great video. Military people are inventive. Too bad that the people who produce them have never been in the field.
Weight and volume reduction is a mantra for anyone that has to carry everything in a single pack.
New way of "gundiggin" it up lol
Make it RAi.n................wait oh not those kind of strippers. It was still a good video boom chicka bow bow
Great job sir! Permission to ask where you carry your Rock Or Something? 😛
Plenty of rocks or something in the field
Semper paratus, dragons!
So why exactly wouldn't you keep the drinks? You guys need your fluids and the nutritional requirements in it. I get the shakes because it's milky and heavy and you don't want that in the heat. But, In a situation like that, I would want some flavored drinks off and on rather than just water 24/7 even though water is all that I drink now lol
A lot of it is time management. I know it sounds weird but I never liked to stop on a road march, forced march, timed march till it was over. It took a couple miles for your feet, shoulders and lower back to go numb from the weight that stopping for a break any longer than 5 to 10 minutes was painful to get moving again. We would stop just long enough for "Feet and Fuel" boots off, socks off and clipped to the back of your pack to air dry (usually by a buddy as you never took your ruck off) inspect, powder, new socks, boots and in the remaining minutes (usually standing) eat everything and start walking again. Water from a canteen is just fine under those conditions.
For a side note: You never poured MRE drinks into a canteen (we didn't have camel backs) the dyes in the drinks would stain the inside of the canteens to the point you had to buy new ones of fail every inspection afterwards. Makes you wonder if the drinks will permanently stain plastic what does it do to your insides????
Where is video of you eating them or at least the one you said you would.
It's in the works. Would like to do it outside so it may have to wait till the fall when its not 100 degress outside
Is your PO Box still the same? I have a case of older MREs to send to you.
Yep, and thanks!
@@gundog4314 hope you received it. Tracking said it should have arrived.
@@Janenba Hey sorry I got tied up in some business stuff. Heading to the post office today. THANKS !
@@Janenba It's got the Meatloaf in it......that has been something I wanted to review for years. Thanks! Will most likely film it tomorrow, hope it is still good.
Gundog is stripping? WHAT???
Hehehe...
What's wrong with bringing the cocoa with you into the field? That's my favorite part of the MRE!
Like I said, 1,000 ways to do it and take what you want. The point is reducing the size and weight so you have more room in your ruck.
Ugh, lemon pepper tuna 😆
Exactly
Read the title and expected Peaches not peaches.
Who doesn't love strippers? Well, I know my wife doesn't ;-)
Jase M outdoors - But then my wife would never let me watch the videos ;-)

Great information 2 thumbs up.
AWSOME. YOUR THE BEST!👍👍👍
but no t p ?
Baby wipes. Clean the body and the brown round.
🤯 ⏱️🧚♂️ #GottaGetBackInTime 🎼 📰 🏰
The only thing i really don't get is that you'd rather wipe your hands with the fancy towlette than wipe your ass with the tp :P
You can never clean yourself up with that TP. I used baby wipes so you could clean your body and the brown round.
@@gundog4314 Ah, didn't know you had those anyway. And thanks a bunch, thats good to know,.I was planning to go on a tour with friends relying only on what the MRE would supply, I'll know way better now! Greetings from Austria by the way and thank you for regularly entertaining me with your videos!
?? Frag your buddy for his coffee ?
Improvis
You are expected to consume a certain number of calories per day.sounds like you are one of those soldiers that need to be stood at attention and supervised as he drinks his water. I'd guess it's glued inside the box for airdrops it would have to hit hard enough for the cardboard to crush before the bag was affected.either that or they glued the bag to the box before sending it thru the cardboard folding/glue shut machine.
You know what they say when you assume stuff right??
gundog4314 😂😂😂
No toilet paper!?!?
