1906 US Army Emergency Ration Preserved Survival Food Testing 24 Hour MRE Review
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 04. 2024
- A truly astounding food discovery, this incredibly well preserved vacuum sealed can of pemmican and chocolate stood the test of time. The first true long-term storage survival ration, it was ahead of the rest of the world's packaged military food technology. Back then, (and for many years after) it was the most advanced packaged/processed food in the world. In this video, we take a look at US Rations (Used by the AEF) of 100 years ago, their history, and find out how well the US Army Emergency Ration holds up over time.

Review filmed February 27th and March 2nd 2019 - a few more gems from last year still in the archives, but this one was really due to get out there. This is essentially the theatrical version. A shortened and also a more comprehensive version are planned future projects. Until then, I plan to release my Reserve Ration review next for this era.

LMAO so true.steve eat corna virus "HMMMM its a bit laking in flavour"
Underrated comment lmao
"Corona virus? Alright. Let's get this out on a tray! NICCCCEEEEE! M'kay."
I read this as the intro music was playing and made me bust out laughing even more 😂😂
It's actually a 48hour ration, the first 24hrs is spent trying to open it .

"Sorry for the wimpy bites" he says as he's eating a 112 year old ration.
Any sized bite is heroic!!
Steve has ate food from the Civil War..
@@kenrickeason but still lol, that was just hardtack wasn't it
Remember food back then wasn't full of additives and flavourings like it is now. That's probably what it tasted like pretty much, a bit bland compared to our modern day palette.
I get it, I get it, it's amazing!
but please don't say, it's like a porridge grain soup
again! Ever!!! No really,
Never!!! I feel like we have a non event when it comes to describing it. I mean its water, and hard, tooth chipping grain...it's a porridge! AAAHHHH!!!!Stop!!! actually, I bailed out at,
"It's sorta like a sewage
Smelling" Good-bye!!!!!
I think the $2000 was worth it. If this guy hadn't bought it, it probably would have sat on a shelf somewhere in someone's collection. Even if it was in a museum, it would have been a minor item in a display that people would have glanced over and forgotten in a minute. But thanks to this video, five million people have been able to have the vicarious experience of eating it.
iirc Steve only eats a ration once he has two of them
the other ration gets stored in his collection
*Can hisses*
*Time stops for Steve as his eyes roll back and his nostrils flare, his pupils dilating as the scent of century old air, paint, and tin metal rush into his lungs, the ancient molecules dispersing into his bloodstream and carried straight into his brain.*

The corona virus couldn't do shit to steve.
He's been playing the long game all this time
Corona Virus stand no chance against Steve immune system!
The expired date is just a used by date it’s not a “ruined” date so food can last much longer than the expired date
The last Chinese MRE Steve put into his body sent him to the hospital. Wonder what Corona would do?
Steve's immune system is so godlike that he doesn't get corona virus the corona virus gets Steve1989.
Incredible Steve. My great grandmother was born in 1906. She passed in 2007 about a month shy of her 101st birthday. It baffles me this ration out lived her, and you ate it 😂 Keep up the great work 👍
My grandmother was born in 1898, died in 2001, 10 days after her 103rd birthday. This stuff was made in her lifetime and outlived her, too!
Your grandmother was born in the transition from horses to motor vehicles and died the year smartphones came out. Mine was born into a world that still traveled by horses and died a month after 9-11. She was mentally sharp until a day before she died, so she knew about 9-11, watched it on live TV from her assisted living. She told me on the phone that it was the beginning of WWIII and advised me to move back to Maine if I wanted to survive.
@@mariekatherine5238 I'm not sure that Maine is far enough since the globalists are focusing on the United States. Personally, I'd head south to Mexico and or Central America.
My grandma was born in 1909. She passed in 1996 - very young, at the age of only 86 (there are suspicions that her death was not natural). She was also mentally sharp and knew exactly what's going on and how things would progress in the world. Now, 26 years after her passing, I find that she was absolutely right! Grandma also still remembered horse drawn carts and the early cars, and gas lights. She passed before 9/11 of course but she was always aware that war could break out at any moment the way things are. Just think, this ration was produced three years before my grandma was born, and got eaten 24 years after my grandma's passing... wow! (and I'm just watching this video again after a few years, lol)
He's like, this isn't good quality meat and it's from 1906 lol
*BETTER THAN STEVE EATING YOUR GRANDMA*
The grits he's noticing in the chocolate might be due to inferior grinding methods they had back then. Chocolate is sort of like peanut butter where it starts out hard and then gets ground into a paste, but it's much, much harder to get completely smooth. Chocolate used to just be like that.
That's exactly what I was thinking.

The great thing about these videos is that nobody ever has to open another one of these time capsual-esque rations ever again.

Thank you for doing this; lovely presentation plus a nice crash-course on old ration history. Subscribed.

😄😄🤣
This was a few years ago but these days there seems to be no one alive who was born prior to this ration being made. Makes it feel even crazier that it was still in such a good condition considering the technology of the time.
My great grandparents were born in the decade after this was made, and my last great grandfather passed away way back in 2007 at the age of 93. Crazy
Richard Overton was almost the same age, he was the worlds oldest WW2 veteran (1906 - 2018) passing away just a couple years shy of this video
I always love seeing the care and reverence Steve takes in these historical rations. I've seen other CZcamsrs spend the money and they just tear them to pieces complaining about the smell and appearance. They end up with the destroyed pile of crumbled food and shredded packaging on the table in front of them.
If it weren’t for this guy most people would never see this part of history.
Yeah sure is interesting!
Esoteric part but important. Armies march on their stomachs.
Steve sees it twice...
Yes I agree I love his vids there awesome
Yer for sure. I Loveit how dedicated he is with his rations
Can we take a moment to appreciate Steve spent over $2,000 on both these rations for us to appreciate? Thank you Steve!

112 years old and that hiss was amazing. crazy how well packaged things were back then!
That can has been holding in that hiss for over 100 years. Stunning effort.
The hiss heard 'round the world.
Imagine the relief that can finally felt when Steve cracked the seal!
If it had walked into a crowded elevator though...
Technically holding *OUT* that hiss. :P
Like me in a job interview
I feel like one of these days he's going to free an ancient evil.
Wouldn’t be surprised 😂
what do you think, will it come out with a hiss or no hiss?
Klaatu, Verata, Nik *cough cough cough*, there I said the words.
Opens MRE can and demons hiss
Oh that's not a nice hiss.
Steve is the real life doom slayer
“This ancient spirit of Rah has an earthy balance, it’s decadent. Really a step above the rest considering the soul of Baal was canned around the same time” “let’s get this out onto an alter, nice”
I wonder if any elements of their old packs like seeds and whatnot can be used to try and regrow the original foods from the timeframe.. you know, like apple seeds or so. Been thinking about that as I've been watching your videos.
Makes me wonder how much of the past can be preserved and potentially even restored if necessary.
Love your stuff!
This is truly so fascinating. I'm not interested in MREs or military history at all, but I love basking in people's interests and Steve examines these products so thoroughly and goes into the history with clear passion. The hiss from that can was incredibly satisfying, knowing how old it is and that it's managed to keep its seal for so long 💯

Hey man, looking at these marines really makes me appreciate the MREs I eat now lmfao
Steve, I'd like to share a memory with you.
I go home from college every so often to see my parents. Well, one particular Saturday when I came home I wasn't able to sleep very well so I watched tv from about 4 am to 6 am. I heard my dad come out and make coffee, and we talk for a bit.
"Hey dad, wanna see something cool? There's this guy on youtube that opens old MRE's and reviews them in a very neat way"
We sat through the whole morning watching your videos while the sun rose. My dad was a CW4 in the Night Stalkers back in 2010, and he thought your videos were very entertaining. After he watched a few, he was saying "Nice" after every "Let's get this out onto a tray." He especially liked your US Army spaghetti review, and he said it brought back a lot of good memories.
Thanks again, Steve.

Steve, the history lessons are invaluable in your videos. You have a lot of respect for the past, and it shows in your videos. You try to imagine what it could be like living in the time of these rations-a weary, tired soldier that just has a precious amount of time to find some way to relax, if possible in their situation, to eat. The momentary break of eating a meal is very important for morale. Soldiers are tired, weary, stressed out due to the war or conflict they’re putting their efforts into, supporting their side. Thank you again for showing this important history in every video you make. And thank you Steve for the hard work you put into each video!
It must be so incredible to be tasting something from so far back in history. You are witnessing history in its most direct way

38:56 I just love how he describes stuff like sewage water in his calming connoisseur voice.
I wish I had seen this earlier. My grandpa served in WW2, but his grandfather had served in WW1 near the end, and they described something like this. They called it the "Chemical Porridge" because they said none of them would survive being carried around in their packs next to their metal ammo boxes, metal canteens and other hard objects that would dent, poke or jostle the air tight canister. They claimed that half the time when you opened it, it would be bad, and probably lased with whatever chemical agent was used that day. A lot of these were left in an area that was exposed to gas attacks, and the ones that had holes in them would be compromised, but the quartermasters rarely did a quality check on them before handing them out, their rationale being they were only supposed to be used in a life or death situation anyway so it didn't improve your chances of survival by that much.
His grandpa would say than when you did find one of these, you would often buy a sausage or fatty meat from one of the locals and cook that first then add the porridge in the leftover fatty oil and serve it as a sausage porridge. Even with the added meat and fat, nobody liked the stuff, but it made an intolerable meal that might just as easily kill you as keep you fed a little more tolerable. There would also be a few soldiers who were entrepreneurs who would carry sausages around inside their clothing to hide from the officers and trade them to the soldiers for a few cigarettes or some extra pay.

@@Tater_Lord on 2 cans, not "a can". That was a false statement.
And it was canned for long-term storage in 1906, so it didn't go rancid over 100 years ago. That was another false statement. It was still vacuum sealed when he opened it, so no bacteria was in it.
The third part I'd like to point out is that CZcams has paid him several thousand dollars for this video of him opening the can and eating the food, so it made him money rather than costing him money. He has more money after buying it than he had before he bought it.
Your knowledge on this is pretty impressive. Never thought I'd be laying in bed watching someone open up MRE's. I have tried some myself but none nearly that old. Keep them coming!

I think it is because he is looking for rations for vids.
Taking time to recover man
Me😂😂
Only Steve is worthy of opening these old rations. Nobody else appreciates them the same way.
Its kinda "cute" (in lack of better term) that his hands are shaking from excitement.
Ashens is close
Nor eats them the same
I hate when other ration reviewers open 90's rations and dont eat anything, wasting it saying it's not safe to eat!! 90's rations are still "fresh" by Steve's standards.
Robert Miller I know who will get to taste test the next frozen Siberian Mammoth now.
About the quality, 1906 was the year Upton Sinclair published The Jungle. They most likely put just about anything they could find in that can and called it beef.
Thanks man! I enjoyed all the details of delicacy that you took the time to evaluate this piece of edible history! Well done man! I really enjoyed your attention to detail as well as your interest on the subject in the first place! You have a specific type of class my friend! Keep up these videos as well as your historical interests!
Let’s get one thing straight. That wasn’t a nice hiss. It was a LEGENDARY hiss
Jormungandr would be jealous of that hiss
It amazes me that he’s eating meat, from a cow slaughtered over 114 years ago. Just wild. I love it.
Absolute madlad
I watch these and I'm like "I'm amazed he's not run off and vomited right after eating some of this stuff." But it goes to show how long stuff can stay preserved if kept under the right conditions.
Isn’t it crazy. That lil cow has a great great great great grandcow out there somewhere, just oblivious knowing that his ancestors have just been eat. Life is fine
I was gonna say the exact same comment until I saw yours. Yes it is truly fascinating
That's called dry ageing
I really appreciate your videos. The lighting and background that accentuates these rusty relics. I also love your Woodstock voice and pace of monologue. Your passion is art. Niice.
I can just imagine Steve explaining to his lender why he should take a loan out on a 1906 emergency ration.
Steve using pliers to open the can like he couldn't just rip that thing open with them big-ass guns of his.
He wouldve destroyed that can. Im sure he wanted to keep it as intact as possible for his collection 🙂
Can we talk about how he gets beefier every video? Like he's gotta be hella ripped
He could have popped the whole thing open by placing it in the crease of his elbow and flexing.
@@mariegp5021 yeah, I attribute that to his healthy diet of ye olde foods, 100% organic and stuff
Dude eats tons of protein with every MRE and doesn't let it go to waste
"And that is some of the best salt I've ever tasted...cause it's so old..." *no further explanation*
😆
😂
It's probably because old salt has no iodine in it.
I really like how we learn the history of the rations in your videos, and the intros are always pretty rad
"I"m just standing in a corner of a room like a really wierd dood eating old food." Classic! "I'm pretty glad I am more normal." Awesome! Best Channel on the Tube.
I just realized that 114 year old bread isn't even the oldest thing Steve has eaten
He ate beef from 1899
Ardin Anester No its the hardtack from 1863
Literally correct... I think the 1860+ thing was the oldest
I'm still waiting for him to try bog butter or ancient Assyrian honey!
He's eaten hardtack from 1863.
