Chow Line Reproductions
Приєднався 2 лис 2016
I reproduce a myriad of American military rations that date from 1908 through 1982 covering everything from WWI trench rations, WWII C & K rations, Korean War RCI's and Vietnam MCI rations. The videos posted here will cover my reproductions in detail as well as give helpful advice on how to actually use the rations in the field. I also will be posting videos which show original ration items from WWI, WWII, Vietnam, Korea ect.
UNBOXING SPECIAL! What 70 Year Old Army Ration Did I Add to the Collection?

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
Переглядів 2,8 тис.6 років тому
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...
M1908 Haversack Ration
Переглядів 41 тис.7 років тому
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.
You need a model 1908 cup like the national guard used
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.
I noticed he didn't try his 'stew' with 2 sugars. WUSS!
What is the recipe for making the bread onbthe M1910 mess tin?
Like the sign logo ! You should make stickers .
[2:39] Closed Caption states, ''...Troops were still trained to make this field ration as late as 1960,'' or did you mean 1916?
@@AuthorityFreeman OK. Closed Captions on UA-cam are notoriously bad.
@@AuthorityFreeman These videos are six years old now. I would greatly like to see the one on baking one's own Field Bread in the meat can. I want to try it myself. I am not sure that was ever filmed -- even though promised. I will refrain from speculation on why he never made one. Life happens, and sometimes one has no control over outcomes. Hope he's allright...
Howdy! Any idea on when you’re finishing your website?
Great question. I have been working on it slowly, but have been very busy over the last several months. New house, married, home projects, new job, etc. Lots going on so Chow Line took a back seat for a bit.
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.
What is the exact name of the album playing in the background?
The music needs to go away
@@AuthorityFreeman I am soooooooo mean, my Grandma is ashamed...
Where did you go bud? No more videos. Id love to see the field bread but mostly hoping a fellow history nerd is okay
Everything is fine on this end and always has been. Making videos is well, time consuming. I've just been putting my efforts elsewhere like getting a masters degree and on the side working on the ChowLine as an education tool/ business. You can see all the stuff I post to the ChowLine facebook page here ( facebook.com/TheChowLine ). It's updated rather frequently.
Do you eat it
Do you eat it
Love vthe "Monty python's theme music
interesting are there any reproduction ofo european rations of WW1 especially german or austrian because i never found mess kits nor rations from europe fromthese days....very good video!!!!
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.
What’s the music?
Good video now I can cook a stew looks really good
Enough coffee for a pot.
I'm glad they're not stingy with the pepper.
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
leftover waxed paper bits are GREAT fire starter
Will you make more videos
I hope to! I have a few recorded, however I am working on developing a style all to my own so as not to copy the type of ration videos others are making.
I learn a lot from you. My Grandfather fought in World War 1
Hey happy to see you sharing some videos. This is excellent
Well nice to see you back
Do you have an email or website to order from, im not on Facebook
I am slowly working on a web site, but it wont be up for awhile. As of right now though I am not taking orders anyway. I'm finishing up my masters thesis, and that's keeping me busy till May. Then I can get cranking some stuff out for people again.
@@ChowLineReproductions excellent! I look forward to your future creations!
Been awhile since I uploaded, but it will become a somewhat frequent habit to begin making content for this channel. Before I do however I am working to develop a unique identity and style for my videos so that they are not so similar to what other youtubers who upload ration videos to this platform do.
Hello i hope you get that website up and running soon, you have really intresting stuff about rations.
So the Field Bread video never happenned?
Ugh the music is awful.
You don't need to filter the coffee
u had to go and ruin it all w/the music.
*cuts open wax paper* Hm, no hiss. Also I really appreciate there's a ration video covering Pre-WWI/WWI rations.
Eat what it is in the can sheeter
With how much coffee he put in for his cup of coffee, I'm surprised it didn't turn into tar! That was enough for a couple cups, I'd say. Haha
What we need now is a video showing making the bread, and another video showing the authentic method our troops used to heat their rations.
I'd love to see more videos like this I really enjoyed very informative thank you
do u have a website were u would sold these
I had to stop I couldn't not take this background music. I'm going back to steve
I can visualize my eldest uncle doing this. WW1 veteran. Love the video/ music. The clean cloth might be hard to get, boil coffee eat grounds.Well done.
Question, the tins that include the Potato, Tomato and Meat were re sealable?
Such a simple thing but awesome. I'm going to start reenacting soon, so I'll definitely be getting a bunch of these.
Ppl that watch 100 mre reviews from steve then think they are an expert on youtube....smh or even better the ones with ONE LITTLE CRITIZISM stfu and let the man do his thing or dont watch
How can I get that ration
Awesome product, looking forward to seeing more videos.
Great product, can't wait to order this and other products.
That would feed one man one meal .they weren't like the girly boys today .
Is the fry pan steel ? That's way to much pepper . Fry the meat first then you put the other stuff .
Mess kit is aluminum with the exception of the handle and hinge as well as a hanging loop on the lid, those are steel and brass respectively.
Great video!!
Have a little bit of string in the coffee for flavor XD
