Im not religious at all and I don't like watching MRE's videos....but im still watching every Ace's video and The Ancient videos only because they make me feel happy. There is so much love and happiness between those two and they are living the dream life. I just hope that they continue doing so for a while. Hi from canada !
Bob, at our house, 'every day was a holiday and every meal a feast.' Thank you for coming aboard and giving us a try. Always remember, most videos on anyone's channel are highlight reels of their lives. TFW
my mother met my stepfather when his service was coming to an end, he snuck some MREs home for us to try, it was truly something amazing I felt like I was in a movie, in 2011 he took us to see the base he was stationed at, sadly did not get to go inside but seeing all the trucks and soldiers walk around was so cool for me, we even got to see a truck transporting tanks leave the base
I remember this MRE when it was something like Oriential Chicken with Thai Sauce about 2002. This one was real good because it a bit different from the others and it had all the best snacks that came with it. Always enjoy your content.
Always a great show. In the past I worked for Ameriqual in Indiana overseeing the making of MREs. There is much quality put into these products for the American Women and Men of the U.S. armed forces. I'll have to see if I can get you some MREs.
Love your videos man, you do a great job! I stumbled across your channel whenever you first started whenever your sons shouted you out, it's been great watching you
These have to be my favorite videos, just as I was about to go to sleep the notification came, even tho I have work tomorrow I want to watch this because I love these videos😄 Thank you for making them!👍 Also I love those stories of yours, they are always interesting to listen!
Lion bars are still a thing here in the UK. :) I'm so surprised that mre was still good! I wonder if its something to do with the tomatoes that makes some mre spoil quicker. I've noticed that the mres that have mains with a tomato based sauce never seem to last. All things being equal with storage conditions that is. I love hearing your memories from your life in the Marines. Getting to see your photos as well is a real treat. Thank you for sharing with us. Another great video. :) P.S. I was looking for a PO box to send you a couple of things but you don't have one listed in your YT pages. Anyway I can get things to you? I have a few 2019 British 24hr rats. You never know there might be a lion bar or two chuck in there too. 😉
Christine, if they are going to be sent from out of the USA, Customs agents usually take all the good stuff out. I have over half a dozen international MREs that are all partials. No meat and no good desserts. Are you shipping internationally?
@@MeAncient Ahh damn yeah. I'm in the UK. I could try to send you a vegetarian ration, I think there are a couple left in the case. Maybe that would get through? I dont mind sending it to try and get it through your customs. But it's up to you. :)
Just when I thought this day couldn't get any better, you upload a new video.. Its the cherry on a beautiful sunny Sunday thank you my brother and as always take care .your friend from Canada
Lion chocolate bars are very common here, in Portugal, it really surprised me that in a more "exotic" or different MREl like the one you taste tested, about all components were good, heating up that rice with a little water would probably make it perfect, and those vanilla capuccinos are usualy better with hot water. A fun video, thanks, for the video and the story.
Hi me ancient I'm a former cook I was in Iraq for 2 years in the army in the mid 90,s I'm physically disabled in a wheelchair but I love watching you and your boys I'm almost 49
Welcome aboard, Dj! I certainly loved all the chow they put in front of me when I was active duty. Especially on board ship. TFW and thank you for your service.
@@MeAncient thank you sir I didn't us to think I did much but my husband says a army runs on it's stomach my favorite thing to cook is my homemade spaghetti and meatballs with extra pureed vegetables mixed in with the meatballs
Good afternoon from the Great State of Texas. Thank you for sharing about Shuffles. The meal looks good to me. Although I would have heated this meal up in boiling water. Im glad you seemed to enjoy this meal. Have a good day and be safe.
Hey Me Ancient, That Cobra candle holder sure brought back some memories, I still have several of those. Also, the picture of Shuffles, I remember going to that store when I ever I could to buy cases of Sprite, goat cheese and flat bread. Thank God for the goat cheese and the flat bread, keep me from starving.
David, when were you there? I have some pictures of the US Embassy after it was hit that I'll be sharing in a future video. Did you take any pictures? What was your MOS? TFW
I watch, and always find it so interesting when you show pictures from your time in. Really makes me wish I took more pictures when I was forward deployed in the Philippines (2019-2021) but it’s always refreshing to see that amongst marines, the only thing that ever changes are the uniforms! Thanks for making great videos, Semper Fidelis!
Alexandro, Semper Fi. What was your MOS? I, too, wish I had taken more pictures. Especially when I was in Beirut. I have a few more I'll be sharing so please stay tuned. TFW
Mr Ancient I can't but worry for your health for trying the old MREs and it sounds like Ace feels the same as I do hahaha. It's fun to watch for sure. I do look forward to seeing you trying any and all new MREs from any place in the world. Only 2 years old or newer. Awesome videos and always a fan...thanks
We still have Lion Bars over here in the UK, although I don't see them too often. Obviously, Rowntrees, like every other British business under the sun was sold off to foreigners, in this case in 1988 to Nestle.
@@MeAncient You know what, I honestly don't know. I'm sure I've ever had one actually. Haha. But I have seen them around, but they seem to be fairly rare, at least around my area anyway. :)
I'm surprised this one held up as well as it did. You're braver than me by not heating the main!! Thanks for sharing, thanks for the Beirut stories and thank you for your service!!
That’s a good way to repurpose brass. The Koreans crafted artisan items from range brass. The trouble was keeping the indigenous population off the range. Some lost their lives in pursuit of the metals we fired down range.
My grandfather was in the Navy and at Pearl Harbor when it was bombed. He survived. But was never the same. He told some things but he had stories that were off limits. Like certain he wouldnt or couldnt talk about. He never said how it happened but he received a purple heart. Just wondering if there were certain things u seen or did, that u cant or wont talk about ? Thank u for ur service!! Salute sir!
Miss Keri Ann, fortunately, I did not experience any of the horrors of war when I was on active duty. As a result, all my 'stories' are of either a fun, whimsical nature or just related to unique experiences. Kind of like a guy I knew who was in during WW2 but was always stationed state side. He never had to experience any of the bad things that so many others, like your grandfather, were subjected to. TFW!
@@MeAncient I tried it before when I was a Police Officer. To me it seemed liked the crackers/ or bread and peanut butter tasted abit better. What I did was heat up the main meals first, then before the heater runs out I just put them in for a maybe 2-5 minutes. Awesome videos of these MRE tasting 👍
Good vid again mate, and good story's! We have had lion bars for years and are still a big seller in the UK! We get white choc ones and special editions have seen a peanut butter one and it was amazing! Look forward to the next one! Cheers from scotland😊
Thanks for the info on the 'ol Lion bars! I'd like to get over there one day and get to Scotland. Lots of history, including some interesting religious history. One of our son's name is Ian. Scottish form of John. TFW!
@@MeAncient my name is Iain which is pronounced (i in) and is old scots for Ian or John! Yes lots of history, Perth is over 1000 years old and used to be the capital of Scotland! And contrary to belief it doesn't always rain here!
from what google just said you only a couple of peice of salt they said it best to dissolve in an old eye drop bottle first as you only need a just very little bit! but you still didn't put it back in the box and put at an angle so the steam stays and heats the meals and cheese so you can knead it faster
Hey Me Ancient, I was there right before you, your MUA replaced us in February. It was Valentines Day actually 1983. I have lots of pics, my MOS was 0311. I was with 3rdbn 8th Marines, India company. We were stationed at the end of the runway, right in front of the Israelis. I was there from the end of October to the middle of February.
That's crazy! We had an LP at the end of the runways as well. We could see the ocean and part of the beach from our post. David, P.I or San Diego? There is a forum on Facebook for Beirut Marines to post pix, etc. That's where I got my pix of Shuffles. TFW!
@@MeAncient Yeah, we had a pretty nice view of the ocean, really sucked when the storms would roll in during the rainy season. We lived in G.P tents that were positioned parallel to the coastal highway. I remember being woke up in the middle of the night when a storm rolled in and blew open the side{opposite of the side I was sleeping on} of the tent and rain was pouring in. This happened at like 2:00am, we're out there in our cotton union suits trying to stake down the side of tent, ah good times, not!
Now then young man that meal didn't look too shabby we have lion bars here in the UK and I'll send you a few over to your fair land cracking video as usual keep up the good work from joff the trucker in the UK 🇬🇧
You are too kind. Why, I haven't had a Lion Bar in 40 years now.....I would definitely try that on a video if you were able to get one to me. TFW, as always!
Hi, Me Ancient. Thank you for sharing. "Lion" bar Is still sold here in Italy. You had the classic one; nowdays there are 3 more taste: coconut, salt caramel, peanuts. Could you, please, explain what exactly Is a French cappuccino??? Thank you so much
Enrica, I should have explained that more clearly. In this case, it was a mix of powdered coffee and something like Chai Tea, I would say. Interesting combo. TFW!
@@MeAncient Oh yeah you should! And I love these small stories that you have been telling lately :) They are really fun to hear! God bless you and your family!❤
OH, THEY SHOULD ALSO COME WITH A CLOTHES PIN, OR A BIG PAPER CLIP, OR A RUBBER BAND, TO KEEP THE TOP OF THE HEATER POUCH CLOSED DURING HEATING. CHAS ORVIS, PLAINVILLE, CT.
I served in the Georgia National Guard with a former Marine that was on guard at the back side of the compound when the truck detonated. He lost several friends.
Another great video there! However as much as i like the MREs exploration stuff my favorite part of these videos are always the stories of your life experiences in the Army, theyre so interesting to hear.
I really enjoy your videos and stories from your time in service. I curious though, why do the MRE's still have matches? There is nothing to light i.e. cigarettes. Thanks and keep up the great videos.
Cloe, FYI, I fold over the top and lean it against a table leg at a 45 degree angle. The newer ones heat right up. I've had trouble with the last two older MREs. TFW!
I'll have to take a look around at the International section of a big grocery store. One of my subs has said he'll send me a Lion Bar from England. If I get one, I'll try it in a video. TFW!
In case of failure, I was ready to post a recipe for Thai chicken and fried noodles given to me by a close friend. My buddy was a thermal engineer involved in selling power plant equipment around the world. He loved to cook and collected recipes from each restaurant that impressed him. I am happy to see this MRE worked out so well for you. If you love Thai food as we do, I would be happy to forward the recipe for testing. If you like it, perhaps make a batch and share it with your MRE followers.
@@MeAncient It is just a Thai food joke. I know a bunch of Thai people and would eat at their house. American Thai food is different than authentic Thai food. They really love hot peppers, lemon, and Thai curry.
I THINK THAT, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO STUFF TWO FOOD PACKETS INTO THE FLAMELESS HEATER POUCH, YOU SHOULD PLACE THEM IN THE MAIN POUCH THE WHOLE MEAL CAME IN??
Honestly I didn’t thing salt helps the heater. Since I’m been in the army for the past 7 years, I’ve heard that the heater was designed specifically for a one time use how it is. So adding salt would just ruin it.
I’m not military but I fought a lot of wildland fires and just to help you out a little bit Open the bags hot dog style as they would say in the grade school and spoon everything out but it’ll give me a chance to stir stuff up in the package

You know it. TFW, Damian.
Another great video there! However as much as i like the MREs exploration stuff my favorite part of these videos are always the stories of your life experiences in the Army, theyre so interesting to hear.
Actually, I was in the Marine Corps. There's a big difference. Just ask any Army Vet or Marine Vet. TFW!
@@MeAncient oh right! sorry for the misunderstanding kind sir, much respect yo ya!
Hi Me Ancient. I love the MRE videos. Also, what is the biggest fish you’ve ever caught? Mine is a 30 pound king salmon.
That's a nice salmon! If sharks count, then I've caught about a 4 foot nurse shard that probably weighed about 60 lbs. TFW!
1 things for sure, if it ever hits the fan you're not running out of matches😂
You know it! ha ha ha! TFW
You are the best!
I'm unsure of what I am the best of, but thank you and TFW!
I really enjoy your videos and stories from your time in service. I curious though, why do the MRE's still have matches? There is nothing to light i.e. cigarettes. Thanks and keep up the great videos.
Good question! I’ll have to put a think on that. TFW
another good video, keep em comin ✌
watching u from the Novi Pazar(Sandzak - hope u search it and see how far it is) :D
That would be quite a journey! Do you go to the Adriatic Sea for vacation? TFW!
@@MeAncient Nope, but I know many people go there. Its in Croatia
Interesting that you didn't say prayer. Thanks for another review though!
The prayer was not recorded for some reason. There was a bit of footage missing on this one. Good observation. TFW
I tried MRE trail mix once but it tasted like the trail. :-)
I understand that.....TFW
Lion bars are very popular in the UK I can send some to you no problems brother
Does somebody know in which of Ace's videos did MeAncient open his first MRE?
The day Me Ancient brought his first 🍌 banana on board and ruined Ace's fishing 🎣 which is always fun to watch.😂
Here's a link......

@@MeAncient thanks a lot.
Can you do a review on the MRE Menu 8. It’s the meatball and marinara mre
It’s on the docket, I believe. TFW
Lion bars are still very popular in the UK man.
David, thank you for the info. TFW
@@MeAncient You are welcome.
still not using the frh right..... that's why the food never heats properly, the steam goes straight out the top....
Cloe, FYI, I fold over the top and lean it against a table leg at a 45 degree angle. The newer ones heat right up. I've had trouble with the last two older MREs. TFW!
👍
TFW!
You must have quite the collection of matchbooks haha
Dozens and dozens. TFW, Kyle
In 2094 the u.s. military is going to come up with mres for mars explorers so if your still around then give those a shot
Please Lord, don't let me be around in 2094!!! TFW, David
lion bars are an English chocolate bar but nestle owns it now so i expected them to be all over the world
I'll have to take a look around at the International section of a big grocery store. One of my subs has said he'll send me a Lion Bar from England. If I get one, I'll try it in a video. TFW!
You are brave soul brother. Please Lord bless my brother as he tries these older MRE's. In Jesus name! Amen
Calculated risk.......
Lion is a British chocolate candy. Not sure if they're still made today.
yes nestle lion bar.... still very popular here in england..
Several people have told me that Nestle's bought them and they are still made. TFW!
In case of failure, I was ready to post a recipe for Thai chicken and fried noodles given to me by a close friend. My buddy was a thermal engineer involved in selling power plant equipment around the world. He loved to cook and collected recipes from each restaurant that impressed him. I am happy to see this MRE worked out so well for you. If you love Thai food as we do, I would be happy to forward the recipe for testing. If you like it, perhaps make a batch and share it with your MRE followers.
Jack, you don't want me to try to make a batch of anything unless I have a clear recipe. Send it on and I may give it a try. TFW!
A Thai MRE is just a bag of lemons and world's hottest peppers. Then you mix it with plants you pick off the ground.
Josh, I like what I had lots more...TFW
@@MeAncient It is just a Thai food joke. I know a bunch of Thai people and would eat at their house. American Thai food is different than authentic Thai food. They really love hot peppers, lemon, and Thai curry.
I THINK THAT, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO STUFF TWO FOOD PACKETS INTO THE FLAMELESS HEATER POUCH, YOU SHOULD PLACE THEM IN THE MAIN POUCH THE WHOLE MEAL CAME IN??
Great idea if I am able to remember that next time I film. At my age, that's the challenge. TFW!
Honestly I didn’t thing salt helps the heater. Since I’m been in the army for the past 7 years, I’ve heard that the heater was designed specifically for a one time use how it is. So adding salt would just ruin it.
I wonder if you aren't right about that....TFW!
👍🏼👊🏼🦖🍺

Have you had any stories of active duty soldiers eating at a rainforest cafe in 1968 with eddy burback fighting during the vietnam war
Before my time on active duty......
I’m not military but I fought a lot of wildland fires and just to help you out a little bit Open the bags hot dog style as they would say in the grade school and spoon everything out but it’ll give me a chance to stir stuff up in the package
I like it. TFW
How do i send a few mre's to you. Do you have p.o. box? Or aces?
