    Expected it to contain a short sword for harakiri, for the shame of failure by having your boat sunk.

    Agar agar is a thickening agent, kind of like corn starch, xanthan gum, arrow root etc. You use different agents depending on how you're preparing the food. Like if you're boiling liquid you want to thicken to a syrup, you would use arrowroot and water in a slurry while it is boiling. You would use xanthan gum for a cooler mix. etc.

      Agar is generally derived from seaweed. It is used in science in petrie dishes, for microbial work.

    as far as I know agar agar is used as suspension culture for bacteria to grow into
    basically acts as food and home for bacteria
    we prepare it in lot of our tests after you add some luke warm water the powder becomes jelly like substance

      @GreatSageSunWukong 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Natalie Story its like gelatin, they've been eating it for years, because its vegetarian the monks started it, its from seaweeds and I think I'm right in saying it has the advantage over gelatin of not only not being basically boiled down animal waste products but not melting, i believe its spost to maintain itself as jelly like to a much higher and lower temperature so more suited for use as jelly in very hot countries

    Okay.. how rare it is and why i remembered finding one in my grandparents living room cabinet a few years ago. If my memory is still good, i found it half open and someone tried to seal it back with duct tapes (and it didnt work), the plastic is gone but i remember the content (specificlly the cereal) has gone black, or atleast a few of em has since i only open couple of the top one, didnt even bother to check the rest since it thought its all the same.

  • @juliebaker6969
    @juliebaker6969 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Actually agar agar is an algae based gelatin, it is both natural and vegan. If the foil is made of aluminum the white powder is probably aluminum oxide. This is aluminum's version of rust and it is white in color.

    i have to be honest with ya. steve1989 is like one of my most favorite MRE review guys out there. i think hes freakin awesome. and will try just about anything i watched him try some beef MRE once that was pre world war I. the fact that you tried this even though it could have got you sick, and that you do a lot of awesome stuff.plus the fact you are just as awesome...... my respect for you has now become equal to steve. so great job buddy keep up the good work and i hope someday you are able to read this comment. cause i am a year late on this video. but Ehhh...... either way great job man.

    Similar types of rations for lifeboats would be pre-packed in a collapsed inflatable life raft sealed in a weather-proof container. IOW, same type of packing this ration has but the entire lifeboat would be sealed at the factory. As long as the seal isn't broken on the raft, that type of packaging would be good for 3-5 years./

  • @josephvanas6352
    @josephvanas6352 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    the packaging is probably alumanized mylar or something similar. The white powder in that case may be aluminum oxide from the coating corroding and breaking down

    Hey Nate;
    Reckon if they'd included a dozen fishin hooks & 50' of 50# test monofiliment line, it would go good for makin' flashy lures from the foil packaging. The dense ingredients look bland enough to get away with wettin' your whistle with a few teaspoons of sea water, without too much harm. Instuctions for utilizin' the clear plastic bag for a solar still, & using it, & the plastic lidded container for storing rain water, would have been a wise move as well. Enough leftover foil fashioned into a solar style cooking bag/oven, might insure killing the parasites found within most fish that were caught.
