2018 Australian Patrol Ration 1 Man 24 Hour MRE Review PR1M Meal Ready to Eat Taste Test
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 05. 2018
- This Australian Patrol Ration 1 Man is a 24 Hour MRE used by ADF Special Forces and recon teams on LRRP missions. The mains are freeze dried and other components switched out for lighter ones reducing the weight to 2 1/2 lbs. And with minimal reduction in caloric content. Amazingly fresh food, yet seriously lacking closure devices to those main's pouches. No gusset, no problem.

I've never had Vegemite but I can happily eat marmite from the jar with a spoon. Can I get a temporary honour while I track down some vegemite?

I would definitely sleep on those buns there. especially if they are hot. hot buns.
This shocked me. I thought Australian army would just eat snakes, sharks and cactus, and their ration pack would just hold beer.
Nah. That's the SAS.
LFMAOF
We need to be able to share sometimes.
Beer sounds good but it must be dehydrated
No that is Florida if it is bud light
This is such a perfect example of Aussie cuisine 😂 I was amazed by how many of these things are currently in my house and eaten every week
Same!
It’s crazy because in comparison some of the US meals were prepared like someone not from the US was doing their best to figure out what foods Americans usually eat together.
I don’t understand why they’d pair up some of the items that they do. Nobody eats like that….
But here, Australia’s meals have things that seem to go together AND there are Aussies co-signing these meals.
Idk how much louder the US government needs to shout that they don’t give a flip about its citizens, even the ones dying for it.
Damn yeah. So Australian
@HoneyBunnyBOM To be fair.... American "cuisine" is both crazy regional AND each distinct type bleeds and fuzes into each other depending on where your parents moved from and what cookbooks were popular in your area.
I think the idea was everyone could either trade for favorites, or at least pick out something they liked from the least favorite options.
@@kin2narutothe products and brands in the MRE are very Australian. I don’t think she meant culturally Australian.
I am an Australian and the way looks after the meal and has respect for the Vegemite is incredible he has the stamp of approval
What does vegemite taste like?
@@KassAss420 A little bit like beef stock cubes. But different hard to explain.
@@randall.3189 Like beef stock cubes? I’ve seen beef bouillon cubes. Like concentrated beef powder from ramen? I’ve seen that Australians put it on toast? Why would you want to eat beef paste on toast?
It's way more salty and way less beefy than beef cubes. Very much an umami flavour. As to why? Dunno, it's an Australian thing. Every Aussie kid is raised on Vegemite on toast for breakfast and always a Vegemite sandwich in your lunch box at school. It's definitely an acquired taste but on toast with a good spread of butter, there's nothing like it for an amazingly savoury and sweet (from the butter) boost to the day, packed with vitamins and minerals. My favourite breakfast is Vegemite on toast with a glass of fresh orange juice. Fantastic.
Saturday morning, Vegemite on toast with butter, with a cup of milo on the side (cold in summer). That is a true breakfast.

Any Aussie would be so stoked to get those migoreng noodles for lunch. I got a packet in the pantry right now 😂
Same, love them
yeah good to see the army just slams in all the aussie staples just wish we could see some old magie chicken and corn noodles too sometimes makes you love the mi goreng more and changes things up a bit
Glad u love them, as an Asian migoreng is my pride
Dw, as a southeast Asian we have at least 1 packet in every house, shits amazing
When Steve says things like "That's some of the smoothest English Breakfast tea I've ever had" it makes me wonder both if he truly does eat nothing but MRE's even off camera, or Steve is just that enthusiastic and perhaps hyperbolic. :P
I said, "do you speak-a my language?" Steve just smiled and made us a vegemite sandwich.

Those are rookie numbers.
But it was worth it
The other day a coworker asked what I did on my day off. Told him I spent like 3 hours on CZcams watching a guy eat old food.
MUKBANG
He never complains and enjoys anything he eats (i.e. eating a 60 yrs old vintage MRE), and that's why I love watching his video.
Always dunk the mi goreng sauce packet (unopened), in with the noodles while cooking. That way it melts so you can get every drop out once you open it.
"caster sugar and amino acids, that's awesome." I'm guessing that's the first time in human history that phrase has ever been uttered.
If you want to eat that mi goreng ration, it's literally repackaged Indomie brand mi goreng. Goes for like 25 cents a pack. Godly stuff.
Matthew Wang best instant noods on the market by far
@@Perronster Nongshim shin ramyun is the best if you like a bit of spice. Little bit more expansive than other stuff but its great.
godly indeed 😂
Amen
John Smith Nongshim Ramyun is god.
When making the Mee Goreng noodles, the triple flavour pack goes in the hot water with the noodles UNOPENED, then take it out after the modules are done, that's the only way to easily get the thick sauces out.
PS: The Duck sauce is actually sweet chili...
There is an art to making mi goreng correctly. No matter who i watch make it they always do something wrong.
That FRED is the best can opener I've ever used. Been out of the Army for over 20 years and still have some in my cutlery drawer.
Man I'm glad you uploaded. I thought that 119 year old canned beef did you in.
lmao!
Actually, every time he finishes reviewing old rations, he died shortly after due to food poisoning. Then, a new Steve comes out from a cloning chamber from his secret cloning lair located in his house basement to take the old Steve's place. I know this because my uncle operates his cloning lair.
Someone should make a Mojo top 10 MREs that almost killed Steve
sylvain falquet hell yea
he should do a post review with his "survived or almost-death" rating.

"The noodles actually give it a nice...visual..."
*After another closer look*
"No... No they don't actually :( "
*LMAO*
Steve is definitely the Bob Ross of military cuisine!
I live in Wisconsin, where Jack Links jerky is made. I gotta say I was really surprised to see that in an Australian MRE. I’ve never even seen that in an American MRE. I’ve been eating Jack Links’s since I was a little kid. Made in Minong, WI. Great video as usual 👍
I'm from Queensland Australia and I can confirm the jack links jerky is available at nearly every service station (gas station) in the state and is very popular =)
@@GHOSTSTALKER90 that’s awesome 👏
Now if only we had a regular source of Vegemite here in the states 🤔🤪
Jack Links is made in New Zealand for the Oceania markets.
@@Tazza81 I did not know that. Cool 👍

Took one to school for lunch
kingkam78 American MREs are one meal, Australian are three, breakfast, lunch and dinner are all in one bag

As an avid lover of airplane food, Steve has broaden my horizons of what type of pre cooked foods i would enjoy. God knows how many hours ive spent watching these videos
24hr ration packs have improved a lot since I was in the army back in the 80's. Jeez, that's a lot of food man. Only thing I recognize is the scouring pad
I don't know why I watch his videos but this is like my 30th one. He's like a well spoken, California surfer with a "unique" hobby.
Idk about surfer haha. He likes to collect a lot of things though
replace california with florida and you’re probably right on the money
He's the Jeff surfs up spikole of MREs.
YaY, RAMEN.
I’ve been thinking the exact same thing
Nothing like finishing a long day with a Steve1989 MRE review. Settle in boys and girls.
Congrats to you and Vivi!
:o c milk gets comfy to steve videos too
Nice.
Did not think you would be here
I am surprised that one of my favorite China vloggers watches Steve too lol!
I always love coming back to this channel. I couldn't possibly care less about military rations... but... I thoroughly enjoy listening to Steve explain them.
I use to eat these Australian ration packs back in the early nineties, an I gotta say they haven't changed too much. 🤯 You got chocolate that actually looks like chocolate in an Australian ration pack. I've never seen that an I've eating hundreds. Noice
i cant possibly be the only one wondering what the hell "musk" flavor is
@Brandon Wertz Elon??
It tastes like...musk.
Sweaty armpits
I thought same thing.
musk flavor tastes like musk ...
* slaps hood of bread*
" you can fit so much god damn vegimite on this bad boy"
Nice
@Kevin Olschesky Back then I hated vegemite, never had any since. I forgot how they tasted like tho lol
I still remember the days when we combined C rations in a steel pot helmet we had just for cooking.....and heat that over a fire.......that was better than a steak dinner!
This is REAL ASMR, your videos are not only amazing while watching but also while trying to sleep, such a calm voice and little hints of humour here and there
You look exactly like if reviewbrah was drafted into the military
TpSpider dude. that's. Dude.
TpSpider totally...
Wow, just spot on. I’m speechless.
well that’s something i can’t unsee
No....
As an Australian I love the fact there's Mi Goreng in there. Our army partly lives on uni student food, I'm here for it.
The military prepares you for everything. Including college
What a change from my Australian Air Force experience of the “Rat Packs” we had 35 years ago.
They were good back in my day, but they’re even better now.
Great video !!!
Wow, a very informative and interesting film clip. The MRE's are completely different to what we had in the 1980's and 90's. For a start we called them ration packs not MRE's and we didn't have all those nice things in them like in today's packs. I remember being in the echolne area one time and have a little spare time on my hands and whipped up a pretty rudimentary cheese cake with my short bread buiscuts, tin of cheese and tube jam and condensed milk. When I said I was having cheese cake for dessert to my fellow soldiers they all I was kidding. Little did they know, with a little imagination and a few spare minutes. Wulla. Bush style cheese cake, boy was I the envy of everyone else. 🤔😝😝😝😝😝
Good thinking. You did have all the basic ingredients for cheesecake and food is subjective anyway so why not? Cheers.
There's so many random ingredients and options in modern combat rations, you can make all sorts of crazy recipes. Jerky bar in between bread makes a steak sandwich. You can use the cheese to make fondue, cheesecake, nachos, etc (my personal favourite was melting it into the soup). If you can scrounge some margarine or butter and don't mind scorching the bottom of your cups/canteen, you can fry fritters out of the mashed potatoes and fruit.
I had my 21st while deployed to the Solomon Islands; the PNGDF troops I was with took the sugar, smarties, and chocolate out of their ration packs, and got some local village ladies to bake me a pretty sweet birthday cake
Film clip. Cute way of saying video.
Yep, those breakfast biscuits (or whatever they called them) were like a brick, someone eventually told me to soak them overnight, they weren’t too bad, but who had all night to soak bickies? These were in rat packs in the mid seventies.
Also forgot about the patrol rations, they had two plastic bags of dirt like food that you added hot water to, they actually rehydrated pretty good but used too much water.
We were issued “new” LRRP rations during a visit to Cambodia in 1969 - told we could eat them dry so as to save water during the dry monsoon - damn near died as it rehydrated in my stomach during the afternoon - chilly and rice - miserable!
Colonel Raymond Keller
Dry monsoon?
@@AgentTasmania basically just colder dry days of wind, little rain, around october through april.. 👍👌✌
Because it made you bloated? Did you eat too much? How did it almost kill you? Do tell more. :-)
@@Great.Dane. by sucking all of the water out of him, they are dried and supposed to be rehydrated before eating
Thanks for the share Colonel
anyone gonna appreciate his ability to cut bread straight down the middle? man has no weaknesses
Mini Sota flawless victory
Mini Sota saw that too, was like that needs to be on r/oddlysatisfying
My wife crushes on him. I cannot compare.
Mini Sota I always forget that basic knife skills are lost with the vast majority of folks today. He used a sharp knife to make a straight cut in some bread. I mean, don't get me wrong...it was satisfying...but...
That's some godlike level of cutting skills, we are but peasants in his almighty presence.
I love how wholesome and entertaining your channel is. Never fails to make me happy.
Coming back and binging his videos lately. I really enjoy these, they are so entertaining to watch
The ADF Special Forces just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich.

No Aussie pack would be complete without choccy milk

Pretty much all components of this MRE are something every australian, military or not, is familiar with. I found it kind of funny to see migoreng noodles and the biscuits. The whole MRE is basically 3 days of school lunches from when I was a kid.
The Mi Goreng is basically a copy of instant dry noodle from Indomie Mi Goreng (Indonesia). They are simple to prep, light and ready to eat within 2 mins. I always pack about 5 of those Indomie Mi goreng whenever i camping trail/adventure on my motorcycle in brisbane or the outback. 😘😘😘👍👍
They are the indomie ones.

it's basically ASMR but with food

His voice is so calming.
A lot of people do just that. Steve starts talking and in comes the chill. Nice.

Back when I was a kid those biscuits were known as "jam fancies". At least that's what my mum called them.
Can just imagine being under heavy enemy fire bullets flying and Steve sitting there saying “nice let’s get this on a tray” position being overwhelmed and Steve is giving his review in jam sandwich biscuits lol. When you do the nutri shake things they are designed to be made into a paste first with a little water then add more water. We used to mix our cereal and our nutri shakes it goes further and fills you up for longer 👍🏻

I am reaaaalllllyyyyy impressed at how he finds everything in this mre amazing his commentary is fun

I know this might sound weird, but what dose Vegemite taste like?
@@Blue-wj4ce I'm a kiwi who is a big fan of Vegemite. It tastes very salty and "yeasty". It's not creamy like peanut butter and holds no sweetness to it (unlike Marmite) it's a savoury topping for sure. A little goes a long way so a new comer to Vegemite shouldn't load it on, just a little thin smear with some butter to counter the saltiness makes it much more palatable.
@@VanillaCupcake91 Im the oppositeand dont like Vegemite. BTW this Aussies MRE is and still are made here in New Zealand.

This looks like one of the best rations you've ever reviewed.
With all that packaging, 2.5 lbs is amazing for the variety and quality of food. As a backpacker, this would be awesome
Steve’s ability to smell shortening in baked goods is ridiculous
It's a gift.
Attention to detail.
after doing stuff like this for years he automatically picks up the smell
In the UK the biscuits Steve ate for breakfast here are called "Jammy Dodgers." If you eat one, you eat the whole box full before they could get near a tray. Nice....
They are called Shrewsbury's in Aussie and NZ.
@It’s ya boy narh mate, jam fancies in vic

jammy dodger is a brand name. they are sold here in australia too amongst other brands of jam sandwich biscuits.
The thought of sitting down to eat that in your home, eh, not so great. The thought of eating it in the woods after a big hike, the most dang delicious thing you've ever had.
Watching this man's videos is so relaxing I love this guy
i'm glad he finished his food and spread the meals out through the day
Provocateur wait what?
Steve, the chocolate has an additive to it to increase its melting temperature, most chocolate made for Australia has this in, changes flavour but boy is it better than a melted chocolate bar.
I dunno there's something oddly appealing about buying a bar of choc, tearing the corner off the wrapper of and just squeezing the liquid bar into your mouth... 😂

The Sustegen I can tell you from experience is a life saver haha. I went hiking for the day and got to the top of the mountain when I was feeling crap from not enough energy. Had some in a straw box serving, it felt like crack I swear. The energy hit me and I felt amazing 😂😂 Smashed the rest of the hike out without an issue
It's actually very enjoyable to listen to someone with a defined pallet to review a military ration. It's not a subject most outside the service would consider.
That's why these are so entertaining

Best part with all of them is his calm voice saying “Okay let’s get this out on a tray, Nice!” And the best one’s are the older rations with mostly canned products. “Nice Hiss”
These were always so good on field exercises. People would always trade items. The ones we got had instant mash potato, and some other small stuff. I also couldn’t be stuffed waiting for the meals the heat up with water so I’d eat them cold haha. I tried a few times but no matter how long I keep it in the water it never heated up properly.
As an Aussie I find it so funny that they have the Mi Goreng noodles because in Australia they are a favourite brand of noodles and my dad who has been in the Australian army for 30+ years always used to make me Mi Goreng noodles when I was younger.
I don't know about the brand but mi goreng means fried noodles in Malay/Indonesian.
Who knows what brand, but indomie is quite common. Probably that brand.
yuenkitmun correct.
Excalis Ogre lord yep I meant indomie
In Indonesia, it's like your everyday emergency ration. Hungry in the middle of the night and lazy to find hawker? Indomie. Got only $3-4 for a week until payday? Don't worry full week course Indomie with many flavors will accompany you through the week. Going somewhere far from civilization? Bring Indomie.
Steve, I cannot remember a time in The Corps where I got to eat the whole meal in one sitting. Typically, we threw all the sides and snacks in our day pack or pocket and had our main cold, throwing away the FRH. As the day went on, Id pour dried coffee in my mouth and take a sip of water. Same with fruit drink powders (or reuse a water bottle from the PX). But i do love seeing your reviews so I can see what could have been 😅

I love the way the army calls them "Jam Sandwich" but they they are literally Arnott's Raspberry Shortcakes 🤣
