      "Actually" no I've not been able to get any info on why he deleted his channel and just dropped off. I've asked a couple people but nobody that I've asked knows what's up.

      I never understood the meat patties. Eating them sitting on the ground, cold, with a spoon was a bit more work than I cared for. I ended up trading them off most of the time. The grape jelly was always a favorite though!

    That was "actually" a pretty great review there, Smokey! Old frozen MREs are (as far as I'm aware) a VERY rare thing to find. Don't know if you saw the one I did a couple years ago. Steve acquired a number of 1995 era MREs that had been frozen for around 20 years(!). He reviewed a number of them and very generously sent one to me to check out. Like yours, my review ended up being quite lengthy (longest vid I've ever posted in fact). But it was an awesome thing to try out and I just HAD to share the entire experience with the viewers. Also, I have had one of those cool arctic canteens with its cover since I was a kid, but I never had the cup. That was very cool to see! Oh, and one more thing--I reviewed a 2008 Meatloaf MRE about four years ago or so! Sorry for the long comment, but, well, you know...

    • @Oldsmokey1
      @Oldsmokey1  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      "Actually " I have just seem you meatloaf review pop up in my recommended list after I had posted this. I watched it of course. I think you got to enjoy one of the freshest possible 08 was close to the last year if I'm not mistaken. I have seen Steves, and your review of the frozen mre years ago. I think I've seen all the videos that had anything to do with Jerry Sullivan. That guy had and kept some amazing ration items over the years. I was super surprised to have found these frozen mres myself. I've actually been meaning to get with you and see if you'd want to get one of these. Unfortunately I can afford to just send them to everyone like I'd love to but what I'll do is give them to the reviewers at cost. The guy I got them from actually charged me a bit more than I wanted to pay but how could I say no. I didn't just pay what he wanted but I ended up giving him 15 plus shipping in the end. So just hit me up I can give you my number to text me some time through PM on mreinfo.com if you want. I'm horrible at checking emails and I don't want to put my number on here anywhere. Oh and that canteen cup is really cool. I have the canteen, cup, and cover. I will be using them in my first RCW review this winter. As you can tell I'm long winded. I'm stopping myself from saying more haha. One more thing this video was an hour and 25 minutes before I edited it down. I could have easily made over an hour video...especially if I had shown the other frozen ones as well. Which I really wanted to do.

    • @gschultz9
      @gschultz9 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Ha ha, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who's long winded! Yeah, it can be very tough to edit something you personally find so fascinating down to a length that is manageable for the average viewer who might not care so much about all the "little things". Don't know if I'd be able to swing one of those frozen gems at the moment, but let me shoot you a PM over at MREInfo and we can at least discuss things! Thanks so much for the offer. I didn't know if I'd be seeing long-frozen MREs again, so I'm DEFINITELY interested! Looking forward to that RCW review (even if I'm NOT looking forward to winter itself so much).

      Brayden still we pay enough money as it is to play and as a origional xbox live member and owner since 2002. Even on 360 i never had a problem getting banned. When halo 3 and cod 4 came out everyone was talking mad shit because it made it fun. Now you can't even abrviate the word "FU" to some1 with out getting reported by a 10 year old playing GTA 5. When I got banned for 2 weeks because a troll reporting me for no reason! And the fact multiple Microsoft customer support employees agreed with me on the phone that the enforcement team is a joke and there is nothing they do but refer me to their website that has no way at all to contact them. I had a huge and respectable collection from all three Xbox sytems. As a 15 year buyer and subscriber microsoft gave me the🖕. I sold everything on Craigslist and i am still very angry I won't be playing any of my games I had months or years of playing into, and all the wasted DLC $. Fuck MICROSOFT!

  • @jeffyoung60

    Some MRE testers discovered that old FRHs do not function. That is because the metallic filings inside the heating element have oxidized and are no longer effective. But this FRH has been sitting in a freezer for eleven years which no doubt helped preserve it. Many nations enthusiastically copied the American FRH. But all of them added one minor change. Their FRH bags are larger than the U.S. FRH, for good reason as this video demonstrates. The American FRH bag needs to be increased in size to accommodate the main entree retort package and anything else that needs warming.

Man I would eat this meal in a heartbeat. it looks fantastic thanks for the great review.

    • @Oldsmokey1
      @Oldsmokey1  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've thought about going ahead and freezing some 2015s I've had for about 8 months now. Then I'm also contemplating keeping one of these frozen ones for about a year to see if they hold up after being thawed out. I think it should be jusat fine but then again it could start breaking down alot faster since it has been previously frozen for years. I do have one that I'm doing for Thanksgiving....it's Turkey with Gravy and potatoes. Hey I really appreciate ya watchin and especially enjoy your comments. I can tell you actually care about the rations and the review......Later.

  • @Your.Uncle.AngMoh
    @Your.Uncle.AngMoh 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    The things in any MRE that really need to be tested would be things that contain nuts or butter- which will go rancid over time- and anything canned, which will take on the metallic taste of the can as the acids in the food react with it over time.
    An interesting longitudinal study would be to get several dozen of these and store them in various conditions from a general storeroom temperature through to a deep freezer. Store them for at least a year beyond the recommended shelf life and then test one a year for the next ten years or so.
    An expensive and time consuming exercise, to be certain. But you've got to reckon that the military, among other organisations, would be interested in your results.

      +UncleGweilo
      I'd love to tackle that task. If I had the means to store them in 3 different environments and had the extra cash to get all the duplicates that I'd need to perform the test. I know Natick has a way to speed up the aging process somehow and they test extreme heats as well. I've also saw some cool test of mres that were 25 to 30 years old look to see if the had any bad bacteria in the. Surprisingly they did not and we're perfectly safe to eat.

      You can't ever go wrong with the classic beef stew. I had a 1999 menu #1 beefsteak that I really liked. Turns out the Turkey Breast with Gravy and potatoes was pretty decent too. But they could have made that meal more balanced if they had tried.

    Old Smokey spent 7:28 minutes gabbing endlessly, patting and squeezing the MRE bag, and incessantly waving his hand around in front of the camera. He doesn't know that in some cultures, waving your hand around in someone's face is a threatening and menacing gesture presaging a personal physical attack. Best to keep your hands at your side. Even U.S. Army and Marines drill instructors are trained to keep their hands at their sides when yelling in a recruit's face.
    Other than that, I'll compliment Old Smokey on his enthusiasm, if not his excitedly gesticulating hand, plus indeed showing us an old MRE whose entree is no longer manufactured. The U.S. Army got into the habit back at the end of the 1980s of periodically switching out MRE entrees to newer and different offerings. This practice, as might be expected, resulted in hits and misses. Some popular entrees got dropped simply for the sake of change. Other entrees proved wildly unpopular, making people wonder why makes the nutritional scientist researchers at Natick Labs choose this entree over this one. Is it group think? It's not unprecedented.
    Back just at the start of the U.S. involvement in WW2, at the U.S. Army food research labs, some full bird colonel's eccentric, twisted logic led to the development of a tasteless, bland, chocolate D bar, meant for emergency use. The full bird colonel reasoned, wrongly, that it was necessary to make food unpalatable so that soldiers would not be tempted to eat too much of it. Today that line of illogical reasoning has been totally debunked. Making military rations unpalatable will cause soldiers not to eat their rations and become malnourished. I'm surprised no one told this full bird colonel any different. It's probable some researchers might have disagreed with him but no doubt he used his full colonel's rank to bully his opinion into acceptance. There was no general around to overrule him. No one knows what happened to the millions of uneaten D bars at the end of WW2. Certainly none turned up in the later Korean War, five years later. The colonel got his wish. No one ate the D bars. Thank goodness he kept his hands out of the K rations and the C rations.

    They are not meant to last forever.....But can if properly stored....FREEZE is the best way to know they will last forever...Check out the Mastodon that was defrosted and they ate the meat from it and it was GREAT!! Cheers!!

    Just came into four from 2005. None of them were frozen, but would you happen to know how long it takes for the fruit to ferment? one of them had pineapples in it, not sure if its aged to its full potential yet

    • @Oldsmokey1
      @Oldsmokey1  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's one of those things that really depends on how they were stored. I've had fruit from an 06 that was just fine but I've also had fruit from an 08 that was long gone and awful. The pineapples usually turn kinda brown and get a strange taste once they've gone bad. That's been my experience with them. I'll say I like the old aged applesauce. I know that might be weird but I like how it changes over time. Like the figs are awesome to after a long time in my opinion.

    Ever notice how the best mre's coincide with peacetime?
    Check out what soldiers got to eat in WW2, WW1, Korea, vietnam...
    Pitifull!
    Current, peacetime MRE's have the best food, the largest portions, as good as food could be for soldiers.
    And tight packaging!
    Airtight, packed well...
    PERFECT food for hiking and camping!
    No need for stoves, no need to pack along silverware, no need to worry about keeping things fresh.
    Going on a hike?
    Pack mre's.
    Taking extended backpack trip?
    Pack mre's.

      @Oldsmokey1  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      So you need stuff that is Kosher? Or Halal? Plus I've seen your comments on somebody's video that you'd like to try the old freeze dried blocks of fruit. I can see what all I have here and sent you something if you could cover just the shipping. I know I have a spare FD fruit plus I can find you an MRE that you could eat as well.

    • @Oldsmokey1
      @Oldsmokey1  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh and btw TH-cam has went to crap here lately after they changed things. I don't like they basically want you to subscribe to my channel twice. Then it's impossible to get a viral video anymore because of the way they only promote certain videos. Thank ya for watchin...Later.

    Hey Oldsmokey good to see you. Really enjoyed this video. Now im craving it:) seems like he took great care of the MRES. Looking forward to more. I like the idea of the p o box to be able to send you things;)

      I hope it turns out to make some really cool fun videos with the P.O Box thing. I've had tons of trouble with my computer and now I've caught strep throat or something. Something is always happening it seems like. I was glad to make this video though. It's not every day you see mre's that have been frozen for 11-15 years that's for sure. Stickyfingaz745 was trying to explain to me how to maybe make some short videos to post on patreon. Hopefully I'll be able to figure that out soon. Thanks for watching as always.

    • @sharonmaurer2882
      @sharonmaurer2882 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It sounds like it will be fun to do. Something a lil different once in a while. Like RC Gusto uploaded his trip to an air and space museum. Sorry to hear about the computer and you being sick. Hope you feel better fast. That sounds good some patreon videos. You are so welcome always enjoy them:)

    • @Oldsmokey1
      @Oldsmokey1  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'd love to do some vlog type videos but my life is super, super boring at the moment. That and I can't really afford to take trips or anything right now. Hopefully one of these days I'll be able to take some trips and make some content about it. I really want to take my kids to D.C and Colorado. There's a museum in Colorado that looks amazing. It's a military history museum with all live guns, and ammo. There's also a shooting range there to shoot that looks awesome.

    • @sharonmaurer2882
      @sharonmaurer2882 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well i am sure you will eventually be able to. But i still think you can have fun with some videos im sure us viewers can help come up with some good ideas. That museum sounds good. Hubby would love that.

      Is all good. I realize alot about myself during this video. Things I'll be trying not to do as often. I'm more than happy to get constructive criticism....trust me. It only helps me get better at what I'm doing. I was "actually" more nervous than anything. This was one that if I messed up there's only one like it.

      Yes, I "actually" can't disagree with that. Idk why I was so nervous but I did learn from my mistakes on this one. Oh and just think I cut some of the actually out of the video so it was worse. I wish I could have cut more.

    • @DaveLennonCopeland

      I posted a time in the very beginning for you to skip the information about this particular mre. It's not every day you find mres that have been frozen for years. That being said I think it's important to put the information out there with the ration. But honestly this video isn't one of my better videos by a long shot in my opnion. I did cut as much as I could from this video. I wish I could have gotten it around 20-25 minutes but when your filming yourself it's hard to tell what it's going to turn out to be in the end.
