  • Here is a 1951 Food Packet Individual Assault - a very rare Ration from the Korean War era. Check out this video and see this never before filmed in color Military Ration. And also witness the oldest chocolate chip cookie, jelly bar eaten, and cigarette ever smoked (2nd oldest actually by only 3 months to my own record).
    A very rare and interesting glimpse - hope you enjoy!

    I was in the Army in 1959 -66. The C-rats we got in '59-61 were dated 1938. We got a full 20 cig pack, and the Lucky Strikes had the green logo which was before the red. The canned chicken was horrible but the Pork & beans were OK. The hard tack couldn't be softened in hot coffee, so putting jam on one was out of the question. The beef stew was pretty good. No utensils, you used yours from your mess kit.

    I forgot to mention. In 1973, I went to Basic Training at Ft. Jackson, S.C. Since a few other guys and I arrived a week early, they put us to work cleaning out some old, unused for many years, barracks and some kind of storage room, about 24' x 16', in which we found box upon box of ""MRE"". I'd say there were 12 MRe's to each box. To the best of my recollection, they were at least 20+ yrs. old, so from 1952??... The Sgt. told us to take what we want and trash the rest. I had many of the jelly bars that you showed here, although they seemed brighter in color,.and they tasted similar to the ""Chuckles" jelly candy that used to be popular. Also had hundreds of packs of cigarettes that came 6 or 8 to a pack. I literally had over 100 packs, which I sold during the 1 week "bivouac" training. Guys were willing to pay a premium, as during the bivouac , we had no commissary access. Just a memory that came back after watching the first of your MRE videos...first for me, that is. Your videos are fantastic...thank you!!

    I don't know how I stumbled across your channel, but I have a crap load of MREs, so I've been very intrigued with your videos. I've eaten some fairly old stock, but nothing like you have consumed!
    When I was a kid, my grandmother told me a story about her grandfather who fought during the Civil War for the South. He told her that his unit ran out of food and would go into smoke houses on abandoned farms, dig up the dirt floor and boil the soil, which was coated in fat and drippings from the smoked meats.
    They would then skim off the fat as their meal.

    • @BallisticBBQ
      @BallisticBBQ 8 ปีที่แล้ว +110

      They would literally scoop the fat soaked dirt off of the floor of the smoke houses, and boil it. This was verbal history shared with me by my grandmother. I wrote all of this stuff down to pass on to my son etc.
      Love what you're doing brother. Fun stuff and I dig on how you respect and preserve this history. Much respect!

    My Grandpa traded a combat ration candy bar to a starving kid in Germany for a pristine party leader Walther PPK pistol during WWII. Dad has the pistol, it's in great shape, we shoot it often.

      Thanks to Steve I was able to find those exact cigarettes in the exact era 1965 on eBay for $18 bucks. Man oh man I smoked one today and it really, REALLY is a big difference from today's tobacco.

Also, a huge thanks for not swearing so that my kids can watch and learn. Keep up the great work!

    It's nice to see cigarettes with their original packaging, here in Europe we have massive warnings and shock pictures, and soon the packaging will all be identical with puke green color.
    I never smoked (well... tried some cigarettes when I was younger) but I really liked the packagings back in the 90s and the smell of fresh tobacco inside.

    I think it's a mixture of Steve's soothing voice, his obvious knowledge, reverence and enthusiasm for

    Finally, that time-capsule feeling of better days...A potent mix.
