2018 Spanish RIL Lightweight Intervention Ration MRE Review Meal Ready to Eat Taste Testing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ธ.ค. 2018
- This Spanish Military Emergency Unit RIL (Lightweight Intervention Ration) is designed mostly for when the UME (Military Emergency Unit) is on highly strenuous maneuvers including fighting forest fires and rescue missions in extreme heat. With the ration consisting of 75% carbohydrates and most of those carbs are in isotonic beverage base mixes, it compensates for fluid loss and minimizes risk of fatigue and fainting from a heavy meal out in the field. As with all Spanish rations, it is of absolute quality and is perfect for it's general scope of purpose and design.
Thanks so much to Carlos off MREinfo for locating these rations! Here is his channel:

Also huge thanks to MRE Mountain for sending me two extras. Check out MRE Mountain's shop - he has US and International Rations for sale and runs an exceptional operation:

LET'S GET THIS OUT ONTO A TRAY, NICE™
NICE HISS™
I'LL BE COMING BACK AT YOU WITH SOMETHING NEW OR OLD, ALRIGHT COOL SEE YA™ - บันเทิง
I'm from the days from when he used to eat the food without showing his actual face. Now that we can see him, we see his skill in being able to balance a tray of food with not one but two beverages. This man is a legend.
Sometimes I am tempted to go back to the classic style every now & again for a video here and there. And as for the drinks - I have always had good balance ever since starting my main job. So the glasses on the trays is no big deal in that regard.
@@Steve1989MRE You are a legend.
And he has dreamy eyes.
Incredible
He is second to none. His style is superb.
Steve - The kind of guy who wears a Smokey Bear tee shirt to review a firefighter ration.
NICE!
Glad ya caught that
I seen it too
Steve1989MREInfo love you Steve ❤️❤️
$114 a ratio?? Steve could be eating darn good steak for that money, but for our benefit it's pasta salad and granola bars.
Thanks steve!
He probably makes more on the ad revenue, and he gets to enjoy his favorite things, MREs!
ikr sometimes i think he doesnt care how much it will cost. personally id rather see that kind of money goto charity or someone who needs it 220 euros can feed a family well for a week.
@Andy Holcroft Even with the ad revenue, Steve strikes me as just being happy paying out to try these rations every once in a while.
Kayley Meredith he makes more than what he spends.

WTF???

Heyyy xdd
Buscaba este comentario.
Lo iba a escribir yoo jajajajajajajajaja
As an American wildland firefighter i would prefer this over an MRE, mountain house or normal fire lunch. The biggest thing for me was that after 14 days on a fire you would be getting the same meat sandwich with abunch of crap that never sits well when your hiking, cutting trees, digging line or deploying hoses. We had multiple guys either get sick from eating too much of the lunch or not eating enough. Its no secret within the wildland fire community that very rarely does anyone ever eat the full lunch or MRE because not alot of guys have the stomach for it. Dont get me wrong the food great just not for what were doing.
Woud there be any pipeline to talk to about changing the issued MREs?
@kingsharke14 Oh dude somebody will know my pain, those stupid sack lunches with the sandwiches in them. Half the time I just chucked most of it away which I felt super bad about, but man you hit the nail on the head they never sat well with you. Sadly it seems your field kitchens were better than mine this year, 75% of time I ended up eating an MRE over eating what the field kitchen tried feeding me.
Thank you for your service, people like you are invaluable!
Let's hope the US adopts a similar menu soon, it's just a great idea
Do you think the amount of isotonic drinks supplied appropriate?
Like Steve said in the video those drinks help encourage fluid intake which is vital to keeping firefighters cool and hydrated and avoiding heat stroke and fatigue. We are told to keep a 2- 1 ratio of water to sports drinks to keep our electrolytes up because straight water wont do it. I kept beverage bases in my pack instead of carrying around a bunch of Gatorades or powerade along with the 4 issued 1 quart canteens. So the 8 in the meal is a little over kill but i wouldnt complain.
That purple fork is precious
Lol...it comes in a few colours...
Ikr?
Excuse me sir, but that is quite clearly a spork
Steve just has big hands

"Alright, so let's get this out on to a tray. Nice, okay."
Gotta love the trusty tray! :D
I found one of those same vintage stainless trays out on the curb that someone placed along with a modern folding camp chair. Score!
*M’kay
Ayy bby u wan sum fun?
treeeeeeey
@@nefariumxxx Man I love how you call these vintage where i'm from they still hand out school cafeteria food in these.
True reviewer, even burshes his teeth with the included toothpaste!
*brushes
@@zillandrian2329 na its burshes ;-)
He's speaking the language of the gods
Burshes?? 🤔🤔
He also smokes 45 year old cigarettes 🤣
I’m still adjusting to the fact that Steve can balance a tray with two glasses of liquid using one hand while eating with the other
Lifting weights is worth it.
Well with 2 glasses its easy with only one on the sides now thats tricky
He probably bussed tables before
Spanish people always knew their food... Italians also... I love these two countries so much because they brought so much good food to people around the world. Much love from a romanian
John Penserate thanks man ❤️
Very appreciated thanks man
racist too
@@MrFrost009 what?
We love eat good xD
Isabel is a major canned fish company in Spain. I buy this and other tuna salads often here in Morocco. Always good quality.
Very true. The Canned Squid and Octopus is amazing
It’s always a nice day when Steve uploads
It's always nice bringing you and the folks here something new (or old)
@@Steve1989MRE allright, cool. Cya.
Yeah
@@Steve1989MRE much respect and appreciation from Cambodia, Steve. You're amazing!
Steve steps on a cat's tail...."Nice hiss".
Allan Wright
Steve is way too nice to step on a cats tail
The Mad Gasmask Accidentally tho?
Vivid Joey
Yeah
Lol
Lmao
A Spanish ration with an Italian main?? Madness!
Is italian style salad, Isabel is a Brand of meals. In spain you can find them in supermarkets
The romans would be proud (?
It's a spanish brand, one with good fame, they make canned stuff mainly tuna, they are quite big at that...
Made this post as a joke, learned about Spanish food brands. Nice!
strange, but it is made by the people that make the slovanian ration.
Double uploads....
Steve, you're spoiling us. Love the vids, btw 😊😊
Hey Binit! How did you do on your exam not too long ago? I remember you mentioning that. Always great to see ya man.
@@Steve1989MRE
Hey Steve !!
Well, the test went smoothly... Scored full marks 😁😄
Thanks for remembering 😊
@@Steve1989MRE you are so wholesome

At. 5:05 there’s a Nice Hiss.
FUCK yessss
can’t wait
I came.
Nice. Had to go back and listen again
Lololol awesome! Nice!
Fire fighter ration review with a shirt that says "Smokey says Keep it Green"! Got to love the irony. Nice job.
How is that ironic?
Moriganna Brown That’s not irony, lol, it’s coincidence
@@Alternatoast using or characterized by irony.
"his mouth curved into an ironic smile"
synonyms: sarcastic, sardonic, cynical, mocking, satirical, caustic, wry
"Edward's tone was ironic" TO ME having him wear a Smokey the Bear "Only you can prevent Forest Fires!" was irony in a sarcastic way.
alternatoast It's not, just OP doesn't know what irony really is.
alternatoast it’s intentional irony I believe
When steve upload my day is always GREAT!!!!
NICE HISSS!!!
I MEAN
NICE VIDZZZZ!!!
Dam good hiss
He should really make a shirt that say that
Oh yeah yeah nice hiss

Really?cuz man that looks appealing
Under a lot of different brands and endless flavours, actually.
Somos un país mediterráneo, por supuesto que cocinamos ensaladas de pasta....entre muchas otras cosas ....y nuestra UME, el cuerpo del ejército que todos los españoles ( y mucha gente de otros países que han recibido su ayuda) amamos mas, dedicados a salvar vidas y a ayudar a personas, merecen una alimentación adecuada a sus esfuerzos...
Been so good with uploading lately! It's definitely christmas! Thanks Steve!
I am super happy to get into a rhythm here with new videos. Running a one man show can get complicated. Aiming to get 4 more out before Christmas. And you're welcome man!
@@Steve1989MRE I bet man! I can assure you that we all will keep watching if you keep uploading! :)
@@Steve1989MRE Merry early Christmas, dude. ☺
Christmas rules
@@Steve1989MRE Steve you need to set up a donations page. I guarantee tons of people would love to donate a few bucks and that would add up. You deserve it for the money you've spent on rations, the times you've risked getting food poisoning, and the time it takes to make these videos.
Would love to see Steve try to make his own meal out of store-bought components and then sending it another guy to review. Even better if the other guy made one for Steve to review as well.
This. If the review community tried making up different reason packs for civilian testing first, got together to compare results and submitted a prototype to the army for trials that'd be great. We could use more meal options honestly.
RedComm he does black dog Bob's rations ever so often
stickyfingaz745 made his own as you described and has sent some to people to review. Think Old Smokey did a review of one and Steve may have as well.
His parents don’t let him cook and he is limited to his bedroom bathroom and his “ Nick Nack” room where he shoots his videos.
@@CtrlAltRetreat If I ever become maximum leader of a South American banana republic, I'm going to pay Steve a fortune to develop my army's meals.
Good Lord. You almost have a million subs. Never thought so many people found MRE's so enjoyable. Im one of them😀
Hey, Steve. Nice review. This is something new from Spanish army. Never seen this ration before. Thank's for shared with us. Cheers from Russian colleagues
Haha, that edit on the spoon sounds is awesome =D
A spoon tune
The drink on the right was more melodic imo.
My favorite part of every video 😁
@@rinkle396 Yesss! Love it
Much respect for all the firefighters out there! Those nuts and tuna looked great. Spain is well known for their exported nuts. Especially hazelnuts and almonds.
220 Euros? Good God! Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s around $270. That’s a lot of green for tuna and nuts. You MRE testers are a special breed.
sferrell1987 Steve makes a good living off these videos
Look into Magic the Gathering trading cards. It's a mad world out there.
I love how they planned to pack the purple spork in the pasta salad can! One less thing to open on the go and super compact considering the rest of the meal was nuts and granola bars.
Another awesome review Steve! ❤
What a treat to see you, Steve. Great review.
Thanks Steve. Compliments of the Season to you.
Trying to watch old Steve vids I haven't watched yet to keep my Steve fix under control.
Thanks for uploading steve. I always love watching your videos after a long day. Really calm me down.
A very straight forward mre. Would be also very interesting as an emergency ration for hot places if water is available. I'll probably try to make a similar setup and keep it in my car, as I live in a very hot place.
Im from Spain, and yeah you easily find some of those in the super market here in Spain.
Steve, your videos and attitude fill me with such a feeling of contentment. Keep on trucking.
Hey Steve, thank you for doing these videos. Besides beeing very interesting your calm presentation style and the passion for what you do make me come back for more. I especially love the ration reviews of current packs from all over the world. A very merry Christmas time to you, your loved ones and everyone watching your videos =)
When you mentioned the price of the ration, my jaw dropped. Then again, you described it as somewhat of a prototype, so I suppose it is not easy to come by.
Jajajaja que curioso de raciones militares de españa se ven muchos videos pero de esta racion es la primera vez que la veo...muy original!
Just sat down to dinner and I see two new vids, one of them being a Spanish ration which always seem to be outstanding!
Thank you Steve!
I absolutely love your appreciation of symmetry Steve! Thanks so much man!
Cant believe i enjoy watching a muscular dude brushing his teeth
There's a fetish for everything!
Lookup purple Aki, you guys can become friends.
Yeah buddy!!!!!!!!! Some evening watching. Your the best man love your videos.
You uploading made my night Steve. Some quality food and some quality entertainment, thank you
It's always a great start to the day when I see notifications about new Steve videos
Hi, Steve! Great to see your new uploads! Can’t wait to watch. Thought of you yesterday when opening a new bag of kibble for my bunny it hissed and I said out loud “nice hiss.” Haha! :)
`I dont know why but these videos are really entertaining, great job!
Steve your an awesome TH-camr and have the best descriptive comments on each part of the Mre. You would be a great cook and food critic or journalist.
I have rewatched your videos so many times. I literally fall asleep listening to you.
Steve's favorite word is nice
Befinitly dot nad
Nice
I see it all the time at Walgreens; I wonder if Steve had something to do with that… 😜

I don't know why but I find these videos interesting and very addictive thank you for showing me a experience I haven't really witness before keep up the good work
Hey Steve I had subscribed a couple years back but had not visited for long time. Now back again. I spent 12 years US Army(1968to1981) Once Stationed on Okinawa. Saw the wall behind you brought back memories. Keep up the great work.
Spain knows how to do rations ;)
“Alright so let’s get this out onto a tray
Nice mmkay “
Hearing this makes my day
Just when I am thinking hey haven't seen a review from Steve in a bit, and bang 2 uploads. Thanks for another great review.
Love watching these videos while I eat dinner. Enjoy the great content you post.
I still don't know why i watch this ... but i love it :)
New video let’s get this onto a tray
Skor Gaming Nice
Nice.
I really enjoy your presentations. I have been amazed at the stuff you've been willing to taste sometimes! :)
Love the shirts you wear. Thank you for the stellar video! Always excited when you post. My favorite TH-camr. Cheers 🍻
steve, bro i gotta ask, what is your main driving force behind your fascination with rations? you must have grown up with them.
Great question Robby, that is a story I'll have to share in a video one of these days. It's not all that exciting really. But my first MRE was Ham Slices from a case of 93's in 1997 when I was 8 years old. Ate it cold and loved it.
@@Steve1989MRE i hear ya, maybe not exciting to you but im sure im not the only one who is wondering. if you do end up making a vid about it, awesome looking forward to it. my first experience with mre's was during hurricane Katrina when the national guard was handing them out. at the time i didnt find them interesting, but after watching all your different vid's on them ive gained an interest and get ahold of them where i can, im enjoying a 2016 spaghetti with meat and sauce atm.
Steve1989MREInfo I love your videos, and I find solace in the fact that i once went on base and brought home a bag full of MREs. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy because they were Marines and wanted nothing to do with them! Lol. I fell in love with a spaghetti and meatballs ration from 2011 I believe.
In italy students eat those Insalatissime tuna cans all the time, and they're actually decent food.
Steve you have no idea how much these videos help me I've been up for a while trying to sleep but I've been crying over some girl and your humor really helps me I appreciate it
I love watching Steve opening MRE. These videos make me want to try new things
Waiting for the day he drops the tray
I've never dropped it - used to water hanging plants in offices and never spilled back in those days either. It's like assuming a waiter or waitress will flip a tray of platters for 4 or 5 people. Only way it happens is with a weak wrist or getting bumped by someone in a cross walk.
@@Steve1989MRE Next video, .... :)
*drops tray and spills food everywhere*
Not nice, not nice at all...
@@Steve1989MRE Exact truth. Worked as a waiter for 7 years. Your wrist will never falter while holding the tray. Big love to you and your vids from Ireland. Looking forward to your next video! :) I'd love to see you review a ration from the Irish rangers/army if one can be obtained!

Hey you're welcome Goose and thank you too man!
My mundane Monday night was made. Keep it up Steve, we couldn't ask for anything more. Fingers crossed for that 1 million mark soon.
Always love seeing that Steve has uploaded a new video.
Steve, I've always been curious about this. Has a full glass ever fallen off of a tray during the segments where you hold the tray and eat?
Steve it would be really cool if you reviewed the whole lineup up the current us mre menu.
Man, coming home after a long night of work to not just one, but two, new Steve1989 videos is really.. nice. Thanks Steve!
Now to make some dinner and get comfy.
From one Steven to another Steve, thanks for the double upload on this Monday! Nice! 👌
2 MRE videos in one day?! Christmas came early!
My 4 year old asked why you're eating with a purple baby fork. Lol
the spoon sound, trademark patented highlight of these videos, always cracks me up!
I dont know why i keep watching these but, I do love them very much.

Spoon Tune Boogie.
Sure you might shoot a gun, but can you even firefight bro?
eaaaarrrghhhh!
I live for the often unmentioned symetrical arranges we cut too after everythins opened. They're so soothing, just like Steve's voice. I really think they're....nice!
That was neat and different for a ration kit. It’s nice to learn that there are real differences in them depending on where the soldiers are. Thank you for sharing....even I would’ve eaten that pasta salad with how you described it 💗😋
Another twofer from Steve. Thanks Steve.
Hope you enjoyed the double, Donald! Always great to see ya man, and you're welcome!
Thank you!!!
Hey you're welcome, Kia! And thank you for checking it out!
I like the videos where you eat and use everything it calms my OCD.
After a hard day, Steve always makes it an amazing day with his uploads.
Yay, I called it. Double feature!
Good call man! I love putting out double features. They used to do that with movies back in the old days. Just seems right to bring that back in some form.
Something tells me the Spaniards eat tasty MREs.
Yes we do, my brother is soldier hahahaha
One of life's pleasures is watching Steve's vids.
Another nicely done video by Steve!
So, when do we get MRE sushi?
Someday
Isn't that called: "Turn off the computer and go fishing?"
@@claydayton1897 , no, I'm watching this video on my phone as I am fishing
(sushi is actually primarily to do with the rice - you can have fishless sushi)
The vast majority of sushi has fish or other types of seafood, but you are correct that there are some sushi with out. For example, tamago (egg) sushi and I've seen Iwakuni sushi without fish.
