ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2024
- Featuring the all new MRE pouch design, state of the art shelf stable desserts, and a main course that is just out of this world in terms of quality and flavor, this prototype MRE is the pinnacle in Military Rations of the current era. Cuban Beef Picadillo is an outstanding menu, and there might also be a new Thai Red Curry Chicken coming out, as it is another currently in testing. Who knows, but one thing is for certain, these things just keep getting better and better.

The great thing about Steve is that when he talks, it's like he's literally talking WITH you, not AT you. It's legitimately like he's having a conversation with you on the same level, just hanging out. No strange artificial distanced engagement, just a real person.
genuine quality content like youtube used to be.
he's not conceited
They're really getting the fiber in this and I like how they're also getting closer to sliced bread in the meals.
Hey Mumzly! I agree, this one was aiming for that regularity and it's pretty nice actually. Real bread - always a plus, and with safe preservatives especially.
@@Steve1989MRE The MRE bread I've had in the past has always tasted like cake - it's very sugary. This looks a lot more like actual bread.
Not a terrible Idea
I do wonder energy wise how it will effect men. Dietary fibers take away carbs from meals at a 1:1. Fiber may help pass the mres though for the new guys lol
They ARE really getting the fiber AND SODIUM. My heart started aching a little just seeing all those totals.
@@usernamesrlamo Sodium really isn't a problem as far as heart health is concerned. The studies proving that were all deeply, deeply flawed. It appears from my research thusfar that the combination of sugar, saturated fatty acids, and a lack of vitamin K are the real culprit behind at least the sort of hypertension/heart disease that sodium gets blamed for.
I feel so spoiled with how active Steve’s been
nice!
@@Steve1989MRE -Nice!
Yes. Love. @@Steve1989MRE
@@Steve1989MRE nice hiss!*
*We feel spoiled.
That smores bar looks legitimately better than any store bought protein bar that i can think of. What a time to be alive!
You got that right eddy that smores bar was like a cross between a candy bar and some sort of power bar type food... hoping they become commercially available someday as I think they're brilliant!
It reminded me of what the first strike bars look like!
they seem similar to these quinoa bars I get at costco. they don't have a smores flavour, though!
If you have an Aldi near you then I highly recommend checking out their protein bars by Elevation. They're honestly the best tasting protein bars I've had compared to others that are out thete
yep and you probably will never taste it :D
17:20 "What an experience!" You know, I think it's Steve's sincerity that keeps me coming back.
Nice.
Exactly ! Idk why he's not on top 100 TH-cam webby types to win stuff from em
Oh look! A potatoe!
absolutely. outside of steve i dont watch hardly anything on anything else military related, but i love his videos so much. he oozes so much passion for what he does.
Tarkus appreciator 🙏🏾
Wow! Love that you're able to secure prototypes. If I was in R&D for US rations sending stuff to you would be the obvious win-win scenario.
Steve has some other videos where he films the review ever so slightly differently, and I suspect those ones are for R&D for rations. I forget which ones but they were from about a year ago? In any case, I think between guys like Steve are really adding to R&D beyond the troops' opinions
That was my thought as well; you'd know that every thing would get used, and that you'll receive an honest review.
And plenty of fiber to go.
Really breaking the stereotype with this one.@@laurencek.1580
NICE> Steve with a 1st Earth Battalion version of the Space Command MRE!
But...no hiss.
16:09 “It’s still warm.” … ***Looks directly into the camera and your soul*** “No it’s not.”
Hahaha! Love that you’re having an argument with yourself over the muffin top!
@Steve1989MREInfo, you’re the best man! I’m thankful that you put these videos up here and support the troops in the wonderful way that you do! You’re so respectful and just an all-around good guy. Keep up the great work!
When someone asks me about my inner happiness
Glad I didn’t have to scroll too far for this. Him saying that cracked me up.
That part made me lol so hard. It's like he's trying to convince himself that he didn't wait too long to eat it but he just can't accept the lie. He went to all that trouble heating it and then let it cool off. Ah Steve. Such a treasure.
haha! I had to replay that bit .. like .. did he just say that? lol
Steve, I wanted to let you know that this has lifted my spirits. I just went home from the hospital with a life-threatening bacterial infection and am not allowed to do much. Seeing one of your vids pop up has made my day. Thank you.
I hope you feel better soon. I bet it was a relief to get home. Hospitals can be stressful and uncomfortable. I hope you take the time to get some good sun exposure and drink enough water.
Oh hey i did that 12 years ago. Went septic..drug induced coma...skin grafts... all the fun stuff. So glad you got to come home...many of us dont! Hope its all up from here for you. It really does give you a whole new prospective on life. But be very careful and pay attention to signs that its happening again. For some reason we seem to be way more likely to get those major infections again. Take care of you gut health after all the antibiotics. Congrats again!
@@mordeys thank you. I'm sorry to hear you had to go through it. I'll keep the gut health in mind.
get well soon and avoid chinese rations
Here’s hoping you have a speedy recovery
I discovered Steve shortly after I started living alone. In that period, I would often play a video of his as I sat down for dinner. That way, we'd be having dinner together, in a way. I guess that's why, whenever I watch him, apart from the content itself, I also enjoy the feeling of seeing an old friend. Tonight my wife and I watched Steve together over dinner. Cheers, Steve, it was a pleasure, as always!
that's very cute
I discovered him when I was in college, living alone for the first time. I love watching his videos, he’s like the Bob Ross of food. On a somewhat related note, Chef Jean-Pierre is who finally got me cooking. If you haven’t seen his channel, you have to… he’s amazing!
I still watch his videos when I eat.
I’ve been following this guy since 2018 and I get the same vibe bro
Go easy on the commas, feller
@14:20
"By golly"
Honey new Steve1989 quote just dropped
"By Golly" shirts outsell all others in Q1 2024
I hope we get a "gee whiz" next video
Google en passant
Man, that's real swell!
absolutely!
You know. There's only one word to describe the feelings of euphoria that course throughout our bodies when we see a new MRE upload: *Nice*
Seeing a new video from Steve pop up is like the rainbow after an intense storm.
Nice.
Can't even wait a moment when I see an upload. Always the 1st one I watch, no matter what is waiting for me.
By golly
i havent caught a new one since the early days of his and of course I immediately press play and sit through the whole thing here way past my beadtime lol
Steve regularly posting again is a sign the universe is trying to correct its self finally
the world is healing
The way he gets so happy at the thought of a potato and a pea at 10:53 is so wholesome.
Salute this man, for the content he brings.
Whether pemmican from a can to pork with peach rings.
From ration to ration, he vanquishes them all.
With an unwavering passion, never to fall.
Each meal is devoured, while he makes his way.
Not one stands a chance, "Let's get this out onto a tray."
Through perfectly fine chocolate with hardly any bloom, to hard tack with mold.
He always comes back, "with something new or old."
Through fruitless endeavors he pays the price.
For us to have supreme content, and that's quite "Nice"
Cheers Steve
Wow
gonna comment so i can come back to this when i'm feeling down
😂😂😂 i like this
A literary masterpiece !
I applaud you for this literary masterpiece!
I love how everyone loves this channel.
You're awesome Steve. Nice!
The feeling that surges through my body every time I see a new video on your channel is very addictive.
This must be the newest ration ever on this channel. What next? Steve comes back from the future with a 50 year old version of the same ration. Nice! 👍
That would honestly be hilarious. "Yup, still good. Look how well it preserved!"
Nice!
Or an MRE from 2074. Let's get this out on a tray. Nice!
Let's get this on a tray
Steve is always on the cutting edge of future shelf stable food technologies, but he'll always educate you about the history and products that led up to it. That's one thing I love about his channel, the consistent and unpredictable variety.
That would be a brilliant April fools day video!
Perfect. Right when I'm eating dinner.
SAME
Perfect timing, I hope your dinner is absolutely decadent!
Nice
Get that out onto a tray!
It's time for some chewing gum and a cigarette 🚬
Steve, you’re a fu-cking LEGEND!!
A legend for giving the world content it never knew it needed!
Been following this channel from the beginning! 🤓
nice!
@@Steve1989MRE 🥳
Nice profile pic. I'm pcsing to 11th airborne. 1st squad 40th cav regiment.
Steve, it fills me with a lot of joy to see you putting out content again. Thank you so much for brightening my day with your lovely voice and wonderful content.
In post-Hurricane Katrina weeks here in New Orleans, when I ate many MREs, they were like opening little Christmas presents! On the first Mardi Gras day after Katrina, there were no tourists, just a handful of locals who survived the storm and aftermath and the National Guard who were in town, on duty and awesome! An old buddy and I brought MREs out that day and prepared them in a little park-like area on Decatur Street for our Mardi Gras lunch. It really made the Great Post-Katrina Local’s Mardi Gras Day munch! Through the whole months-long post-Katrina experience, I feel as if I’ve made friends with the mighty MRE, and it would be a pleasure to eat one again, albeit without all of the devastation around me.
Why is it that we love this guy so much. Tried other MRE channel when he's quiet but it's just not the same.
Agreed.
Always a good night when Steve uploads
Goodnight Steve Tight
nice!
i love that the internet has made it so someone with such a unique hobby can share their love for it. even if it's not something i would personally put time into, for the moment i can sit back and share in his enthusiasm, and appreciate the diversity of things that can be enjoyed to this extent. thanks for sharing what you like to do with us steve
And not just a few people. Looks like at the moment 233,000 of us have all spent the last few minutes getting rather impressed by the US Military's newest pack ration.
tru@@ellencameron3775
Love how articulate you were in describing the bread. Great to have you back!
Dude, I've said it before. I come for the positive attitude that lifts my vibe... I stay for the awesome MRE reviews, but I keep coming back for the absolutely best taste in T Shirts on youtube.. Keep up the good work, you absolute legend.
Great to see you back and great to see a new prototype. You keep on testing them and I’ll keep watching! Nice! See ya!
Hey Kate right on thanks so much for stopping by to check this state of the art shelf stable masterpiece out! Nice! Alright cool, see ya
Steve's praise is like a michelin star in the MRE world.
Your videos were on in the backround of my severe alcohol withdrawals getting sober a couple years ago, was a comfort in a horrible time. You provide a lot with your content man, thanks for doin what you do. 😊
glad ur doing better 😌
Keep it goin man, that's great you got through it. There's nothing in this world that will ever make you want to have a drink again. Stick with the coffee and tea. Stay well rested and don't miss a meal. I wish you all the best in a healthy & happy life life and thank you for stopping by. Take care!
@@Steve1989MRE I appreciate you, and I wish you all the best as well man.
@@gnome_inc nice work dude, one day at a time.
@@scose thank you!
I love how Steve lovingly says, “Awwww glowing yellow.” Your voice is so soothing Steve. Love watching these before I go to bed. God bless you. Thank you for all that you do for us.
Found Steve through a friend a couple of years back. Love the videos man! Keep up the great reviews! I really like seeing the new prototypes. I'm tired of the same old beef stew and chicken with noodles myself. Hope this one comes out!
Steve always seems to drop a video when i need it most, nice!
nice!
Today was a really rough day, and I was really down. Steve knew, and brought us 18 mins of joy.
I've never liked my picadillo with raisins or even olives (prefer it with potatoes instead, and rice + fried plantains on the side), but for an MRE, this looks pretty alright and the extra stuff probably helps round it out nutritionally. Cuba libre!
I wonder why they couldn't add fried plantain, especially if it's black-ripe, to the menu. The oil and sugars should help it keep longer, wouldn't it? Maybe they just couldn't get a good source of plantain, or maybe this menu already has too many calories from sugars.
Probably because most Americans dont eat Plantain. They make these MRE to try to cater to as broad a group as possible. @@cheyannei5983
I like this menu.
@@cheyannei5983Sweet and savory is a combo that has strong rejection.Not good for a MRE.
I watch pretty much everything on youtube, from low to super well known youtubers and in any category, and im gonna tell this - Steve is the best and always will be
I had a menu 17 for breakfast this morning. It had a pouch of table syrup in it! Paired with the maple muffin top, it was incredible. I have to thank Steve, because its your videos that got me into these!
Steve may I say you have the most wholesome and nice community on this platform and I'm happy to be a part of it, much love to you man I hope 2024 is treating you well so far. You are what youtube should be someone showing if a niche hobby in a lightly edited enjoyable form I love every video I been following since your mid 2010's Russian Cold climate ration
I’ve been hoping for something Cuban related for so long! I remember I had asked ya on Patreon. I’m glad we’re getting closer haha this is nice!
So glad to have been able to come through with this one, thanks so much for checking this one out and for the support! nice
alright cool, see ya
He couldn’t do a Cuban mre, the lines were way too long
@@slaytanicsabbath or because theyre all actually Russian MREs over there 😂😂😂
After hearing about Paul Harrell having pancreatic cancer and stepping away from TH-cam, this is a great morale boost. Thank you so much Steve.
Will always miss paul harrell.
Such a shame, truly. He was a fantastic educator in his time on the platform
Agreed 👍🏻
Paul is the best :(
paul is a legend! wish him all the best for a full recovery.
I just found you. This is AWESOME. im going on a binge now
Been watching you for years man, you've truly put a smile on my face every time I see one of your vids pop up.. thanks brother.
Steve, been missing your posts, thanks for brightening our night!
Hey right on it's great to be back! Thanks for checking this one out, I'll be back again in a day or two.
I ate a couple PB&J sandwiches on white toast tonight, and the MRE looked virtually identical. Overall a superior ration. Good looking smores bar as well. Great review as always Steve!
BROOOOOO!! HOW DID YOU KNOW ITS MY BIRTHDAY TODAY!? This is so awesome I'm winding down from a very long day and what do I see!?!? The best present I have received all day a video from Steve!! Thank you so much.
nice! happy birthday dude
make sure to get that birthday cake out on a tray
@@DEADPOETOFFICIAL Nice! 😅😁😆
@@DEADPOETOFFICIAL Seeing a video from him on my birthday was stellar!
Hey man Happy Birthday! May your birthday be blessed with shelf stable pound cake and fruit soup! All the best to you and yours and I hope ya have an awesome night! alright cool, see ya!
My unit just got this new packaging and I love it. A lot more compact and easier to pack
Been watching these vids for years! Have them on in the background every day while working! Got me through many stressful scenarios, thanks Steve 🤝💪😊
The best channel on youtube. Excellent video as always Steves passion for the ration is unmatched
I never know when I’m gonna get a notification that a new Steve video is out but man that’s part of why it always puts a smile on my face!
nice!
Cuban Beef Picadillo? Dude. That's better than what I'm about to eat. Keep it up Steve!
When I read the title of the video I thought it was "2023 Cuban, Beef Picadillo" I thought it was a Cuban MRE lol!
Right? I just ate a nasty subway sub sandwich.
I hope you all are eating well tonight and every night for that matter! And if not, time to check out some MRE's i'm tellin ya
nice
It's a lot of comfort food, to be sure. Just what you want to eat in the field.
@@Steve1989MRE cheers Steve! Yeah I can't complain too much really. Down here in Australia I grew up on 2000-vintage CR1M packs for hikes and camping, really sparked my interest in military history. Good times!
Cool to see my people getting some pf our food tested for MREs. Cuban food is so good.
Steve’s vids are a comfort blanket in troubled times.
My grandfather was a B17 tail gunner in ww2 and he passed away this week. RIP Corporal E.T. Flood and bless you for your service.
Tailgunner has to be one of the scariest jobs. Right there with belly turret gunner.
Godspeed and thanks Corporal Flood.
God bless and keep your grandpa!!! Aand bless steve and all his viewers!!
My condolences. May your grandfather rest in peace.
RIP Sir
"It's still hot."
-pause
"No It's not."
Shit had me in tears!
I know I fucking loved it, the stages of grief.
The morale boost that a good MRE can give to folks is so underrated, and I’m really proud that our military takes that seriously
They rarely have a good exit strategy though...
@@scottnathanphoto pretty hard to keep morale high on the back end. Gotta focus on the high morale going in
Yep. I mean people will keep ridiculing MREs for being hard to poop out, as well as the sometimes questionable palatability, but the importance of it for soldiers should never be underestimated.
@@rosaria8384I've never had an issue taking a shit after mre s but maybe I'm just extra hydrated
@@Token_Black_Guy it really starts on day 3 or 4 in the field if all you have is mres
Always been amusing to a Brit how our ration packs are filled with many, many grams of hot drink mixes to make pints of tea & hot chocolate, but yours have a single coffee - and as Steve points out, increasingly that's if you're lucky!
Glad to see you're still eating Steve been watching since steadily since 2019 before my Mom passed.. shoot I know before even 2019 cause I knew to o look you up.. stay bless man keep your head up and keep making videos!!
it is always a good day when Steve uploads
nice
And he didn't even have to use his AK .
Thanks, Steve. We’ve had a tough week here. Both of us got laid off from our jobs but when we saw you’d uploaded a new video it helped to make our day….
Nice.
Stay positive, the wheel will roll back around for you guys 🤘
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!
nice!
YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ima soo happy!!!
Dude, goals, he said it, rest easy 😌🙏
Right new vid and new MRE …
I’m actually kind of hyped for this one. Hopefully it makes it to final production. My go-to’s right now are the chicken burrito bowl and spaghetti with meat sauce. Of course my favorite is the tuna but those usually get snagged as soon as the box gets opened. Honorable mentions are the Mexican style chicken stew and southwest style beef and black beans.
I’ve gotten stuck with the beef ravioli, chicken chunks and creamy spinach fettuccini (this one got taken out as far as I’m aware, but a lot of our stock is older menus). Definitely don’t recommend any of those. Nothing worse than trying to choke down basically frozen spinach fettuccini in 10 degree Fahrenheit weather at 6 am before running STX lanes.
What makes for the best meal? Something that does well if it’s cold?
Why do people want the tuna?
Smores and PBJ look great. I wish in 1987 our MREs had great food like this. We didn't even have a Heater in our MREs. That came out in 1993. I was out in 1991. Hoorah Semper FI
Yes a new video! Your content is always the highest quality, keep on keeping on! All the best man
Hey right on lmago27292 thanks so much dude, I'm always working on it. Take care and all the best to you and yours! Nice
alright cool, see ya
Its nice to see that they keep working on new ideas to make better rations for those who serve and make sacrifices to protect us.
Perfect ending to a great weekend. Thanks Steve!
Hey right on I'm so glad, hope you have a great evening and week Bobby and see ya around!
@@Steve1989MREthanks Steve! Hope the same for you brother!
Hey Steve, long time watcher - first time commenter.
Just want to let you know that your videos are helping me get through quitting smoking
I really appreciated how TH-cam decided the audience for Steve's good work are the sort of people to receive a PSA from the Feds on Swine Flu on the farm.
This man is a national treasure. Protect him at all costs!
He doesn't need anymore protection at this point. The preservatives has done their job.
Protect him from WHAT? Are there roaming death squads that go after MRE reviewers or something?
Why is he in danger?
Copy Paste comment
I'm confused. That's quite a bit over the top. Why is he a national treasure? Literally anybody can do this. He's just opening MREs and describing/eating them. Such a Chad/ "please respond/love my comment" comment. Smh.
Excellent way to start the week!
Nice!
They seem to be forgetting the moral part of rat packs . No chocolate , no sweets/ candies . Being on guard at 4 am in the cold and rain isn’t much fun when there’s nothing much to snack on .
I was wondering the same, at the minimum they could have added a trail mix or something to have sitting in ur cargo pockets all day.
That's why you always take your own treats!!
Smores bar??
Always always always watch a new Steve video… honestly it brightens my day every single time without fail 😊
Steve, I love your videos so much! So informative and your voice and description of every packet is helpful and calming. Thank you so much!
Love a new MRE, nice! Thanks for the upload Steve.
Hey right on GeremyG thanks so much for giving this one a look! nice
alright cool, see ya
Always NICE to see you upload!
Hey right on thanks Matt! Nice
Man, I was having a rough day, and then I saw that you uploaded. Your videos have been a great de-stressor for me between your passion for MREs and your chill demeanour. Great video as always 👍
My husband and I have been married 6 years and ALWAYS watch your videos together! Good date night and ... nice hiss.... lol ❤
The best MRE yet! The Master has spoken! I have to say that I would have to agree. It all looked good. I will definitely have to get my hands are some. Great review & accessment my friend. I was impressed by the bread & that s'moores bar. Very nice.
It's always really cool to see a well done MRE that can do double duty. This looks like something you can take your time and enjoy, but also easily cram into your food hole if you had to eat it really quickly.
This has to be the freshest MRE I have ever seen you eat!
I know, I hope he can handle the freshness.
@@janetracer It is pretty much cheating, for Steve. Still a good check on the QC. If Steve dies, we know to avoid this menu
When you get your hands on a prototype you gotta test it out asap!
As a Cuban myself I can approve and we eat this with rice typically 🙏🏽
Ahahaha
Seeing you actually bite through that bread makes it look fantastic. I remember the last wheat bread I had was half solid.
I’m glad you’re still making videos! I started watching you in 2016 on my old channel. I’m happy you’re still doing good man !
It's really nice to see the increased fiber content of this ration.
Seriously. Glad he pointed it out because it seems like after decades of constipation, they’re hooking us up.
Another Steve MRE video? Lets get this out onto a tray. Nice.
Steve is how I get in touch with how my grandpas in the army air corps and navy ate, remember how I ate in the army, and check out how young soldiers in the army today eat.
These videos give me the strangest nostalgia.
Steve back at it again with the bangers
Nice!
alright cool, see ya
Nice! A new upload from Steve and a prototype MRE, looks great and glad to see they've thickened up the jelly
I am so thrilled to find new videos I've missed them so much
Thank you Steve.
Hey Jake right on man you're welcome and thank you too for stopping by.
I like your MRE videos Steve. Very wholesome
Hey right on thanks so much Tactical Solar Productions! nice
Thank you for replying to my comment. Great content. I’ve been watching you for a year now.
Your videos remind me of when my mom used to bring home donuts. It didn’t happen often but when it did man it was like Christmas and birthdays all rolled into one😂
I been watching for years now and legit one of the best on TH-cam 🎉
What I love about Steve is that if the food is perfectly or slightly edible, he will definitely finish it and not throw it away
Good parenting.
Love to see you back Steve !!!
Hey right on eldon thanks so much! nice
Im glad you got a hold of one of these bad boys. Right on, Steve. Hope all is well!
Hey TJ great to see ya man! I'm so grateful to have acquired one of these, such luck. Been doing better than ever, thanks. Hope you're doing great too!
WOW Picadillo, very traditional Cuban dish that's been developed in places like Puerto Rico and The Dominican Republic (where I'm from). It should be served over rice but an MRE is what it is. I would have loved to taste this to see how it came out. MRE meals will always be different than freshly made, but did they get the flavors? Maybe one day I'll find out. Thank you for the content!
Def gotta get my hands on this menu , glad to see they are adding new menus again
I can’t believe how excited I got when I noticed the video in the “recommends” of the video I was watching! I hadn’t seen the alert on my phone yet. Nice.
Thanks Steve! Rough day at work today, your vids make a bad day a freakin awesome day!
Hey Thomas, I hope you're having a restful evening and gotta say, thanks for stopping by to check this one out! Hopin tomorrow is a top tier day for ya too - I say it will be. Nice!
alright cool, see ya
Nice to see you eating something new. This looks like an amazing protype meal and IMHO would be a good replacement for Chicken with Noodles. Thank you for the upload!
It should replace the creamy fettuccine, I like the chicken noodle
Hey Steve great video as usual . Reflecting on my time being homeless, shelters provided warmth and a morning coffee, but the logistical challenges were real - long lines for essential services and the struggle to get enough sleep. What if there was a government program offering 24-hour military-style meals ready to eat, along with bottled water in the morning? This could free up valuable time for attending recovery meetings, therapy, job searches, and interviews. Let's advocate for practical solutions that truly empower those experiencing homelessness.
The sad fact is, that when you talk about Government, they set up too many hurdles and hoops, rules, accountability, that even the most sane, responsible homeless will forgo, and take their chances. Governments always demand payback, in some way, whether it's in labor, data feedback, something. Independent, or religious efforts, from organizations that just want to do the right thing and expect nothing in return, works. Don't expect "what if", from any level of Government.
Gosh, I sure do enjoy these! Thanks for making them!
always feel a little better after watching one of Steve's videos
