Hey there folks, here is a Norwegian Arctic Field Ration - and this one was one of the most enjoyable and high quality Military Rations I've ever had. This was a breakfast meal, and it certainly would be a nice Ration for a soldier in arctic conditions.
Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

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
"Oh, yeah, Colombian, the best... but this is coffee."
OK, you nailed me with that one.
fishscale
Lol it was hard to catch for me.
That actually made me laugh out loud, a good hardy laugh at that.
can you explain? I'm a bit slow, even my Mom told me that
tricepsish He did a cocaine joke, Colombian coffee its good but Colombian Cocaine its the best.
I'm from Norway. Fun fact. The kid on the liver pate is changed every year. As a parent you can send in a picture of your kid, and they choose a new kid for the liver pate every year :) That liver pate is one of the most normal things for a young kid in Norway to put on bread, everybody knows about it. It's very rich in iron.
I was in the army for one year of conscription in 2009. I remember those REAL dried meals, the Gimsøy energy drink and the chocolate. I remember I really liked the chocolate. I also remember that the REAL dried dinner rations made me go full really quickly. Couldn't ever finish them properly. And I'm a big guy at 187 cm.
@@Redicon388 nei ikke nå lenger
RedCutty eh nei.
GD Tacos no thank you!
im from usa ive always wanted to go to norway so bad i heard its beautiful there!
@@ericandrews5003 come, we like americans. more than swedes, anyway ;)
“How bout we get this out onto a tray...” then... “Alright, let’s start out with...”
I want to speak with a manager.
Right, I was surprised at how strong my feeling of disappointment was when I didn't hear the quintessential "Nice" that puts all of our minds at ease. I nearly had to click away, I became so distressed.
That didn't sit well with me either - Ha!
Nice!
honestly sounds like he's got a cold in this one XD
I have no idea why I binge watch these but I can't stop
+libbadibbadoo I am the same, up until seeing these videos i had no awareness or interest in ration packs, now thanks to Steve's passion and commitment I am hooked. Brilliant videos, and great passion :)
same lol i have no intrest in MRE's but continue to watch these videos lol
Me too mate, me too. 😊
You sound like the chillest dude ever. Your videos are almost therapeutic.
agreed to me its almost a MRE ASMR lol
Amen
Almost?
NICE
His voice is very relaxing to me. 😊
It's mad to see how much Steve has changed his delivery and levels of laid back or full stoke over the years. Always a pleasure to watch. An anomaly that slipped through the net for the benefit of all. 🙏
Colombia does make the best. and their coffee is not bad either.
lol
It's a matter of choice lol, I think mexican coffee bean is the best
Russia makes the best for russian spetsnaz imo
Lmfao
Columbia easily has some of the best coke in the world dude.
Its cool that you kind of promote the other reviewer's but honestly I've watched most of them and you are definitely the best and most entertaining
You laid it all out on the try but didn't say "Nice"......I'm very confused right now😣
lol
David Murphy I guess because it wasn't nice :/
I just said that too lol
Emanuel Bastian Lmaoo
It’s an older video. Probably before he started using “nice”. Also, Steve uses stainless steel trays in newer ones than these older ones.
Norwegian arctic field breakfast, the only fiel meal that might make you win an iPad
man even Nordic military rations have great graphic design
lol
I would eat this every morning. They know how to make MRE's.
Its crazy how far ration technology has come in the past 50-70 years. Imagine the WWI food sitting next to this stuff.
***** In the mean time, you could try making one of the WWI soups. I know the recipes are all over.
"I don't usually drink coffee" Meanwhile, literally every video I've seen of him he drinks coffee.....
This is one of the more appetizing in looks MRE i've seen yet!
Just got done rocking out some 2013 menu #3 chicken noodles and vegetables! OH yeah good stuff! Love the peanut butter good stuff that sticks to your ribs!
+AbandonedSC Check out Estonian one!
These aren't really ''Combat Rations'' these are outdoor foods, like rations for civilian use, but the military has a contract with DryTech to purchase rations.
Each individual component is available in the civilian market as well, but these packages are definitely combat rations. They can come attached to a lunch and dinner package - the good thing about keeping them separate is that you can mix and match and trade with your squadmates. Even as fantastic as these rations are, people eventually tire of them.
The freeze dried component is quite expensive. I remember being very happy about getting them on maneuvers. I liked pretty much all the variants.
Freeze dried was a nice variation from the canned food, bread and refrigerated spreads we were usually given. (The latter doesn't really fit into the A/B/C/D/K ration groups, since it was a combination of canned and refrigerated food issued to the squad and prepared by the individual.)
Alberto Hinojosa We use them in the Army, so yes it's combat rations.
"Vinn en iPad!"
Wow. On a field ration too. That's like... Totally relevant when you're stranded and starving in the wilderness.
When they come to give you your iPad, you can hitchhike back with the driver afterwards. It's called planning. XD
@@HrHaakon lol.....
Awesome, broskies! I can almost taste the sunrise lol! The Norwegian Arctic rations are always a great treat, very light weight and efficient. Thanks for the shout out!
I am a simple norwegian, I see Norway-stuff, I press like.
i like that you are norwegian bc I am norwegian :v
we swedish are much better XD
danpearson there there... we are all cheering for you :) get well soon!
+Stian Berg 😂😂
VikingFevahGames wowowowow.... Sweden has had a rough time with some issues. let's show sweden some care and maybe sweden can get better
I can't stop watching! Some how your videos are therapeutic! And it awesome to see what other military forces around the world eat in their MREs!
It's really mindful of the Norwegian to include translations to Swedish and Finnish in their MRE's. It shows that they're prepared to share with their neighbours if a crisis takes place.
Damn that oatmeal looks so good, props on the Norwegian army
Thank you. You should taste it. Its really good. You can get it anywhere in Norway. Just go to a shop and buy "Havregryn" and add whatever you want to it.
Yeah, same here in Sweden as well. Very common breakfast here, as it's very nutritious, and add some berries or something and it tastes great.
I really enjoy how you describe everything as you eat and all. Its entertaining.
Great video, it seemed like you really enjoyed this one. I love the way you so casually give shout-outs to other channels so often as well, it seems to me like a lot of other youtubers avoid talking about other channels that could potentially be viewership competition, but the way you MRE guys help each other out all the time is fantastic.
Subbed after watching your oldest ration video via Reddit. Love your style and I hope you continue doing these awesome videos.
Just chiming in to say I love your videos Steve! You're a real trooper and hope you keep doing these videos!
My new favourite channel - for no good reason that I can but a finger on!
Great reviews.
Awesome video as usual Steve! These reviews are so interesting to watch :D
The energydrink was not apricot, its peach flavor :)
Another great video man! Keep em coming! Love to watch these while having dinner myself.
Your video production quality gets better and better with each video, proud of you, keep up the great work!
This is such a mellow thing to watch, it goes amazing with studying, reading, or just a little vacation for the mind, you have a very pleasant voice. The norwegian episodes are especially fun for me (as I am norwegian) Props! The brand of "REAL" is sold at most outdoor/sporting goods shops here and is wildy popular, we use them when hiking,camping etc, (and the stereotypical crosscountry skiing trips) The liver patee is a staple on every norwegian breakfast table, and the most famous/popular can has had some kid on it since the 50's, there is a contest every year or so. It is probably a nice reminder of home for our troops abroad.
Ended up on your channel. Not too into the MRE videos thing but I have to say that I love how you seem to appreciate the food. You actually make good details about them and I like it.
I'm still here steve! Awesome review and awesome attitude as always! keep it up! I'm happy you're finally having jam that isn't splattered all over a tin because it's burst open and a few decades old haha.
Just found your channel and I'm watching so many, I've already subscribed. thanks for your videos and time
Diggin' the new intro and logo! Kinda nice to see you eat a ration from this decade and century for a change!
“Oh yeah, Colombian, it’s the best. But this is coffee.“ I laughed so hard, I blew coffee out my nose. I hate that. 🤣
Good job Steve! Excellent presentation.
Your videos are legendary buddy , hope you do some more soon. Really enjoy them.
I'm really enjoying going back through the early episodes, making it a goal to review every vid he's made and reveling in the journey.
New logo and proper intro, looks good :)
The entree is actually 520 calories. What you read was the nutrients per 100 gram. The totals were listed to the right, and the calories were also to the left in bold :)
"let's lay this out on a tray"
(doesn't say nice)
unsubscribed
me too
lol
Seamus Tobin 😂
Seamus Tobin Hahahahaha
Maybe these were the pre-"nice" days!
Same
binge watched every one of your videos in 2 days...awesome
I really enjoy watching your videos,, I am pretty sure I have watched everyone of them ,,, Awesome job!!!
Awesome channel, dude. Keep it up!
Love your presentation style Steve - slight touch of dry humour, always makes me smile. Plus you've got SOME nerve trying such old rations (not referring to THIS particular one).
As a Norwegian, im really happy you liked our military food. Keep up the great vids.
Great, a non-vintage review. Thumbs up.
Seems to be finnish chocolate. Brunberg is a very small chocolate factory in Porvoo, Finland.
I thought I had seen all of your old videos, but I’m finding some where I have not clicked Like and have no recollection…like this one. :) And that tray!
new subscriber here, I really enjoyed this presentation, you have a great knack for this,! awesome voice , nice style
Great review as always.No danger to your health this time =). I think i have to find one of those rations..should be pretty easy to get them here in sweden .
Im hooked to your videos!
i really love your reviews
Hey Steve my name is Keyona I'm a huge fan and today is a special day for me. I got my first MRE today. Can't wait to get it on a tray.
Nice... Mmkay!
Awesome as always
Norge is pronounced Nor-GEH ;) Great video, I've had a few of these. Brings back memories.
that pate looks legit. overall looks very palatable
shady80 agreed
shady80 its good shit, very popular in stores here
palatable, but most likely thirst invoking.
pretty sure it said win a ipad on the top corner of the package, did you check if you'd won?
Vinn en iPad - Win an iPad.
Norwegian, can confirm.
+Aᴅʀɪᴀɴ Sᴛᴇᴇɴ jeg skulle ønske jeg vant den. ( i wish i won the ipad)
+Aᴅʀɪᴀɴ Sᴛᴇᴇɴ im norwegian too btw.
Its a civilian version.
That looked great! I'm going to have to try and get my hands on one....
As a Norwegian I think it's funny how you reacted about the "leverpostei" Keep up the good work!
Minnene fra barndommen da du fikk leverpostei vær jævla dag å hater d nå 😂
Another great video !!
The most delicious looking mre I've seen so far. Looks like it won't turn you down
Stress test lol. Cmon now your have strong man hands, nothing can beat you at stress test. Awesome video, i like how you describe your meals.
i have to eat sunflower seeds while I watch these, or I'll eat everything in my kitchen.
Love these videos
man im so glad i found u on here i love any tihng ww2 or army :D
Liver Pate Kid: "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
That expression totally went there, to the hyperextended giggle. :P
Love your vids!
your videos makes me hungry
Aw yiss. Have been waiting for new reviews. Always a pleasure to watch.
By the way, I've seen a whole canned hamburger once. Have you ever had an MRE like that?
Thanks for all the food
the cereal looked delicious, ive always been a fan of foreign sweets aswell. so im sure you enjoyed the chocolate all that way! the biscuits looked like mini pancakes when you started pulling them out. hqhq.
All Norwegians grew up on leverpostei, fact.
The kid on it just a symbol for a happy life in general, healthy and happy.
PS: Norge is not the name of a person, it's Norway in Norwegian, you butcher it but it's fine.:P
PuroYO kan du slutt å gjøre oss falu
PuroYO flau
PuroYO seriously. I loved that stuff. I'm sad it's hard to find in the US. Liver pate is frowned upon here by most people because they ones they've tried taste awful.
Now I'm hungry for it and will go to search to find a new importer. Hopefully I can find some fiskeboller as well.
Born and raised in Sweden, so liver pate (leverpastej in Swedish) very common throughout my childhood and boy do I love that stuff. My thought... shouldn't there be some website where you could buy Scandinavian foods?
skrivbok there are websites that import Scandinavian foods. They're usually pretty expensive, and then the shipping is not cheap either. If you live in northern states, like Minnesota, that have a large Scandinavian population, then they have stores that you can go to where it's slightly more reasonable.
The Polish ration I had was awesome! Looking forward to Sticky Fingerz review.
Love your videos
Really interesting glad I stumbled across it
That looks so good!
its really inadvisable to watch these videos when you're hungry lol!
Yeah, Steve is the main reason I have a slight addiction to canned meat products. I've started to eat Pate for breakfast now.
What you should try is the Oatmeal with Chocolate bits. Also a Norwegian field ration. Speaking from experience, its AMAZING. Definitely a ration to review!
I've had several of these, sent from Norge. Great rations. The ones I have didn't have a spoon, or the pate.
i like this one the most because it's feel like gentle, polite
Norwegian' make amazing comfort food. Chocolate, jams, and grain cereals are only a few. Great review.
As a Norwegian I am glad you liked our food
These videos make me so fucking hungry. I want to eat an mre now. Also I love that Colombian "coffee" too ;)
"Coffee"?!
I'm loving your videos and your channel. It's great to see it gaining a lot of steam in a short amount of time. You might want to stagger your video releases some though. It's better to launch one every two days than three in a single day.
+Steve1989 MREinfo I see what you mean. I used to work a job that was all about youtube marketing, so I'm just thinking in those terms. Dropping lots of videos at once means some might get lost in the shuffle., and it could hurt their view count. Keep an eye on the analytics and decide what you think would be best.
If you want to start learning the basics on channel marketing, you can check out reelseo on youtube to get general tips and there's all sorts of other guides online that talk about channel growth, keywords, intros, outros that point to your past videos... I mean it really goes on and on. Keep up the good work.
Hello, I'm from the future and BOY do I have some news for you.
@@johnmf6096 Hey I'm still here. If steve wanted to just do every single menu, even of common ones, he could and still get a video out once a week. I have to think he's burned out at least a little bit.
shout out to Steve. hope you and your family and friends are ok and doing well and safe from the hurricanes in your area.
I imagine your insides would have the same expression as the kid on the liver if they had faces. "Thank god, 2013!!!" Haha, awesome video, made me really want some oatmeal...
+Oozywolf Also, I knew that spoon was too sturdy to bend! I saw it and thought, "If I were him, I'd try bending the spoon but I think it's going to break..." RIP Spoon 2013-2016.
0:58 "awww, liver pate. Look at that little fella." LMFAO
That looks like a fantastic breakfast
This actually looks better than what I had for lunch today.
This was funny! Reminded me of Randy Marsh and the cooking episode! NICE
You should do a subscriber giveaway for like a really recent common ration!
I really love this kind's of Videos :) MRE's ar great
"Look at that little fella...he looks happy" :)
Wow, the Norwegians provide really high quality MREs to their soldiers.
Any idea what Norwegian rations have looked like over the decades? I bet they contained a lot more dried fish than was in the ration in this video.
+Steve1989 MREinfo Could be interesting to some day make a video about the evolution of rations in certain countries! I guess most stuff inside would be the same, but it'd be nice to see the differences over the years!
+Joe Diamond I was in the army in 1992 ... then we had pretty standard food with us when we went out on manouvers, like Canned food, but it was hard hauling it with us tough... with the fuel to heat it and us and so on :-)
But I do remember one armyfood they served us.... RSP or as we called it "Rester etter sprengt personell" wich basically means "bits of blown up persons", they where similar to what now is sold as "Turproviant" in the civilian market, high protein and calories to give you strenght as you spend alot of calories when you are out skiing all day long. The thing with the RSP, they came as canned food and you sometimes or often found food that was packed before you where borned !!! haha ... dit taste quite okey tough ...
Rest of the food we used to have with us on manouvers where like normal canned food like Fishballs (no they don't have BALLS!!!), Reindeer meatcakes, Spaghetti, and so on... stuff you could buy on the normal stores really.
Instead of normal bread (Norwegians love their bread) you had Crisp bread .... and stuff like that liverpate and jelly that came in same type of containers.
My older brother used to collect the ration they used to get... that one came in a box where you could use the box to cook with, that box came with chocolate bar, chocolate to mix with water, some bisquits, think it had RSP in it, and even a burner so you could cook the food :-) it had solid fuel in it ... like one-time use and so on.
I served in 99/2000, and if I remember correctly the freezedried REAL had been just introduced. They all tasted great, except one labelled as "cod stew". That was an an acquired taste, but hey, when you're hungry enough everything goes down. The pack included the same energy drinks and cocoa as in Steve's other Norwegian videoes, but also differed in that they had small tubes of either bacon or ham flavoured cheese. Maybe also shrimp flavoured cheese (for some reason thats very popular in norway). They were great to add to the freeze dried meal for extra flavour and creamy texture. There were also packets of malt candy. They didnt taste great, but some liked them and I used to trade them for coffee. Those whole bartering sessions when we finally camped at night, were we traded meals, candy, coffee and everything, are great memories from that year of service.
We also often had the previous generation so-called "reserve combat provisions" available. They were a canned mishmash of beef, pork, fat and peas and went under the named "Dead man on can". For some reason people didnt like them, but I thought they tasted great. I used to heat the whole can in the diesel heater on our Hägglunds Bv206 tracked vehicle when possible. Oh the memories!
Two hints.
On the side you will see a black or white line, fill water to that line.
The brekfast can be cold or warm - I find them best served cold - but takes way longer to rehydrate.
AND split the bottom of the container..
Most of the stuff in this ration you can pick up at sporting goods stores and groceries stores here in Norway
I'm glad you finally got to eat a tasty one.
+Steve1989 MREinfo have you done a review on a nz army orp?
@Steve1989 MREinfo I just ate the Menu 14 chicken tikka masala. (other items: bread, energy drink raspberry, proteinbar raspberry, cocoa, chocolate 25 grams, nut crème/peanut butter, coffee and gum) because you made me hungry with these MRE videos. I even tried the coffee, didn't hate it, when i usually can't stand the taste. We used these a lot in the army, and did you know that you are supposed to eat three of those per day during winter?The summer ration is just the Drytech bag per meal.
