    The absolute madman.
    Most people complain about how long they slave over the oven to make Thanksgiving dinner. Steve cooked the food, dehydrated it, packaged it, opened it, then rehydrated it.

    I have heard it before but I will say it again I am blind and one of the many reasons why I love this channel is his ability to describe things and make the whole video enjoyable even though I can’t see it I don’t feel like I’m missing anything and I just love his positivity. I have someone who is often called overly optimistic seeing genuine joy just warms my heart and I know I messed up some of the words but I’m sleepy and don’t feel like re-dictating it so I hope it at least made someone smile LOL

    Straight up my favourite UA-cam content creator. The pride he has for his homemade MRE is 100% deserved. So rad!
