UNBOXING SPECIAL! What 70 Year Old Army Ration Did I Add to the Collection?
Facebook Page: TheChowLine/
I have a particular affinity for American rations produced between 1946 and 1957. They are so incredibly interesting and mark the period when the famous C Ration of WWII truly became an effective combat ration system able to reliably sustain a soldier in the field for extended periods of time.The ration component covered in this video is one I have been trying to acquire for a long time, and its finally here! I'll do a more thorough examination of this and related 1950s ration components in a future video where I explore the history of this component and the ration system it was part of.
Edit: I forgot the mention the cigarettes shown are from 1957.

WWI Bandoleer Ammunition Insert

During WWI 30.06 rounds were packed into cloth 60rnd bandoleers which could be carried slung around a Doughboys' torso supplementing the 100rnds carried in the M1910 cartridge belt around his waist. Before the rounds were put in the bandoleer they were first packed into cardboard (fiberboard) inserts with dividers at the bottom. This is the ChowLine reproduction Bandoleer insert set copied from...

Chow Line M1908 Haversack Reproduction I use the M1908 Haversack Ration Grocery Component to prepare a basic meal using just a few of the food items an American soldier could have been issued between 1910 and 1916. I encourage you to research the various pieces of mess equipment and ration items that were available, as this video only shows a small sampling of them. (Also, I apparently can't sp...

Done in conjunction with our reenactment group "The 20th Century Marine", this video briefly shows the use of a C ration reproduction. You can see the Barrington Hall Soluble Coffee tin opened and a cup of coffee being brewed towards the middle of the movie. Filmed at the Lockport IL WWII reenactment.

    I know this might be a longshot but could you maybe share the dimensions of the box the ration is in? I've been trying to find it online for ages and I can't find that info anywhere.

    I earlier this evening watched a video of steve1989 actually eating an original haversack ration from about this time period. It was hard tack or hard bread, coffee, and canned corned beef, which appeared to resemble spam and coffee in tins . It was amazing but everything was still edible and in perfect condition.

    How did they actually heat their food up during World War I did they just light a fire that the enemy could see? I always wondered how they did that out in the field during World War I before they had flameless ration heaters.

    I know this was four years ago, but that was really interesting. I have a book, I got years ago. Called, "Fix Bayonets" by John Thomason. He was a Captain, or possibly a 1st Lieutenant, in the U.S. Marines in World War 1. He writes about making the same dish, in the mess kit. They used Canned corned beef (Monkey meat), potatoes, canned tomatoes, "hard bread' and basically just fried it up, as a stew or "slum" as they called it. I used to do Great War reenacting years ago, and tried it, both cooking it and as a company meal. It wasn't too bad.

    you could have made a fairly tasty 'Joe Gray' instead of that fry-up,chop up your potatoes and the tinned meat,fry it in your mess kit pan,then just before its done add the chopped up tomatoes and pepper, cover and get heat thru , THEN serve, better texture that way... so close.... LOL
