This is perfect low key entertainment for a Saturday night. Those biscuits seem like they remained well preserved and look appetizing enough. The Hershey's Tropical Bars are in okay shape actually - sometimes they turn to complete powder bloat. Your description is perfect it's like biting into a cocoa beverage powder formed into a bar.
The camera work was great and the review was informative. The info by the way I know is very sparse so you had to dig around for that. Stuff that not many cared to do over the last 6 decades that can existed.. and that is simply documenting it. Thank you for that -yours was an unusual one because it had double the biscuits and no pemmican. Which I think helped too because no risk of those pemmicans bloating open inside.
Oh geez you went gourmet with the chocolate biscuit. It's like biting into a sweet dirt smores. Follow it up with some Hershey's Tropical cocoa. That was actually a good idea there to utilize that chocolate dust.
Awesome work man that was alot of fun to watch. The ending clips were a nice bonus too.
Hey steve! Today I posted a video on a 1966 MCI in pretty nasty condition. I was wondering, at what point to you put on the gloves and the mask? The last thing I would want is for my brother or I to get sick.
Just thought I ought to ask you because you know the most about the older side of rations, and how to deal with them. Thanks bud,
Cheers,
Simon C.
Man I'm glad you actually liked it. I really enjoyed filming this one and I think it came across in the film. I just thought about it but I should have tried to melt some of the chocolate back into its original mix. I couldn't believe how well it mixed into a drink. I sweat I almost could have gotten away wroth not stirring it. I just did stir so much because I figured it wouldn't mix well. Ok now as far as not having the pemican I'm sure that was a big help. At the same time I'd really like to get a can of 1942-1945 pemican in a lifeboat ration some day and try it out. I think the pemican probably sucked when brand new though. What do you think?
It's a good feeling documenting something that you can't even find pictures of. That was one of the most exciting elements of the review to me. Also that's one thing that 99% of people won't understand. Of course I know you do though. Thanks for watching it and commenting. I know people love to read your feedback.
Haha me too!!!!
Hey Simon. In my opinion with the mci, rci, etc. The biggest concern with those old rations is when there is liquid present. Of course tetanus is always a possibility with rusty, dirty metal. But I can only assume you've had a shot recently being as young as you guys are. So all that said be very careful with any liquid, or moist food items. That's my 2 cents on the matter. I know you didn't ask me but I thought I'd offer my thoughts.
Two Brothers Productions At least you got the peanut butter out of it... Shame about the B-2 unit and the rest but you got the cigs and the peanut butter.
These vintage rations are really cool! I think I speak for everyone when I say that we would like to see more. These are awesome!
Great review, I like the way you present it! keep up the great videos!
+Sam Chan
Right on Sam. Thanks for commenting. I do have some cool stuff I've saved up recently. Other than the things sent in I'm just going to film my old unique items for a while I think.
Man what a cool freaking ration! I love these old survival/doomsday/lifeboat rations. They are almost forgot about, and without people like you reviewing these rations they would be whisked away. Cheers brother and thanks for another great vid.
Wow, that ration was in really good condition! I don't see Hershey's Tropical Chocolate very often and I wondered what it tasted like.
Fixy Clary
I think I have a 1970s ration that might have a tropical bar in it. So hopefully I'll get to try a more solid tropical bar then. I sent one of those rations to stickyfingaz745 recently. Maybe we will see him try one soon.
Congrats on 10000 that's Awesome, your review was great camera great information great content ✌️🔥
+Boa Boy
I was thinking that my camera is getting worse. Mainly because of the sound. I'm still using my 5 year old cell phone. I really need to get a new camera. But yeah I'd like to do something cool for hitting 10k subscribers but idk what yet.
10k!
👍🎆😎🎈🎂
Around 9:45 : Nice hiss ??! Great work, Oldsmokey. Thanks for the video !
+Doctor Geek
Thanks for watchin.
Smokey, Steve, Gundog....you guys really make my day on regular basis. I love watching your videos while having lunch... :-D
That's awesome. I'll say this a year ago I never thought that people would be putting me in the same group as those guys. I'm glad that people seem to mostly like what I'm doing here. I have rations that were sent in but other than those I'm going to stick to the old stuff I've gotten collected for the channel. Hopefully I have or can get what people want to see.
I am sure. It is not only the rations. The presentation is important as well...you guys have some sort of special potential for entertainment. If it "goes down the hatch" or makes "a nice hissss"...
I, for my part, can relax perfectly while having my own meal and watch some really sympathetic guys sharing some really interesting stuff. I find those rations quite fascinating. Especially when it comes to vintage stuff or survival kits. Those thing you don't get to see very often.
Well I think I might be trying to tackle something really cool that I know you'll like. I have a 49lb hot climate survival kit from 1966. It's the largest purchase I've ever made for the channel. I hope to get some good info put together and unpack and try the food and water from that kit for hitting 10k subscribers. I'm going to be doing the things that were sent in while I work on that just because I've gotta get those done no matter what.
Sounds awesome! I'll keep my fingers crossed for the preparations!
great review my friend had one life boat ration bought off ebay wasn't good
I think I got lucky. I'd love to find some different ones over time. I really want one of the WW2 lifeboat rations some day.
Dude this is fanatic. Really good find and great video!
+Daves45auto
I loved getting to share this one with everyone. I plan to start opening all of my ildest items up. It was a rush opening this one.
Great video Smokey! Good to see that chocolate power was put to good use
+Cooper Harrison
I honestly didn't thing that was going to actually mix into a drink. I did it because if I hadn't I would have gotten 50 questions asking why I didn't mix it into a drink. I appreciate your watching and commenting.... Later.
Oh yeah! Vintage rations are the best only thing missing now are some old chesterfields or lucky stripes for a truly decadent video.
I wish it would have had a pack if smokes....trust me. That's my favorite part of old rations.
A neat ration, I wonder if anyone out there used one in a real life scenario and could tell us more about them.
I'd love to hear or find some more information. I looked on and off for months looking for information, pictures, anything and I couldn't find absolutely anything. I need to do a written review so there will be done info on the Internet about the ration then.
Very cool, didn't know they basically built the boats around the rations. Really enjoy your channel
Everything in that was delicious it was awesome!!! And fun to record!!!
That was awesome, man...very informative, and pretty darn edible to boot!
Mickey Joe's MRE Reviews
Roger that. Can't beat an edible 62 year-old ration.
I didn't get notification amost missed it I hit bell
Your about the 10th person in the last few weeks to tell me the same thing. I've also had some people get unsubscribed from my Channel. I'm glad you got to see it. I uploaded the mail call #2 video on Friday as well.
Great video bro. I was amazed it was all still good. I had some bad luck with some 6 year old MREs earlier this year. This unknown guy was selling them on Facebook here in Thailand. He showed a picture of a 2016 box that he probably copied off of the net and told all the dealers here they were all 2016 packing date. None of the FRHs worked, all of the cheese was hard, dry, and a lisle rancid. Crackers and bread was all stale ate some of them, but the brisket and mashed spuds made me a little ill. The guy I buy from the most at Frontline Store in Bangkok got a little sick, and his buddy got really sick. That guy disappeared as soon as he sold em. They must have been stored in a shack down in the swamps down south for 6 years. For the guy to lie like that shocked all of us, it is a friendly small group of guys that mostly are airsofters and gear shop owners, and me, the foreigner that likes this stuff, and there are a few foreign customers that are campers and hikers, too.
+Ron Torrence
Wow that is bs. They must have seen some insane heat. I've eaten some really questionable mre's that were stored at 100-120° Temps in California and they were still mainly edible. The key is to boil every entree and side if you have even the slightest thought it might be in bad shape.
We had no idea they were 2012 until we opened the bags, only 6 years old, who would have suspected anything to be wrong?. I thought it was odd when the dealers didn't get the boxes. I didn't mention that one of the bags of Skittles was a solid mass of gell. there were no signs of anything not right, no smells, pinholes, tears, dents, or anything.I remember reading briefly a few years ago that there were a couple of years some MREs were going bad quickly and were pulled, mare these were some of those .
+Ron Torrence
You know what that is a possibility. I've heard a few people tell me that they had bad mre's from 2011-2013 production years but I've never had that issue. Although almost always before I buy something I ask about its history of storage, etc. I usually know if they ate full of bs or not but not always.
Excellent video. I'm very surprised that everything survived so well after all these years. I wonder if the mirrored surface would also be used as a tool to reflect light and start a fire?
Excellent review Smokey! Very cool ration! Thanks brother!
+Pinetree Line Outdoors
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I know I sure did making it.
Love these old rations hope you don’t get sick
+Johnny Few hairs
Not a chance this food was in excellent condition. Someone stored it very well fior at least 50 plus years of its 61.5 year life.
Oldsmokey too bad they don’t make them like they used too
We do make some pretty awesome stuff still. It's just not as cool because it's newer. I'll venture to say if people are still eating old food 60 yrs from now some of our modern food will hold up really well if stored properly.
62 year old biscuits that are still edible. Who woulda thought? Hehehe...
Not me, especially after reading the ingredients on the package. The shortening should have made them rancid and tongue numbing.
Wow what an awesome video buddy, you got one rare experience for 62 Years old lol, it was quite a treat to see how well that one held up over the years. Maybe it was frozen for 20 or 30 Years or more, who knows it was stored really really well looks like.
Hunter Prowse
I think it was probably stored in a very well climate controlled home for most of its life. That's just my guess. I was really glad everything was still edible. Wouldn't have made a very good review of it was all rancid.
I'll stop playing Black ops 3 for your video. 😐
Thank u loved video x
👍
Spelled boat 'baot' in your title my friend. :)
Good stuff I like it.
+Lukey Dukey AUS
Right on, thanks
I guess it takes 61 years for a can in a can to rattle and beat tropical bars into dust lol.
Love the old ration reviews. Great video.
+ForeignMRE.com
I like the oldies too 👍. Glad ya enjoyed the video.
Outstanding
+Lellobeetle
It's in my top 10 ration reviews at this point.
cool review of a unique one! keep it up smokey!
Vegetarian antique! Sweet! Great review smokey!
Another Goodie from Smokey
Where's the fuckin cigs
Cool video man. As always
Another Great review ,I'll be sending you a box this week .
Happy Easter brother.
Pastor Mike
No hurry Mike. Right now I've got like 4 or 5 projects in the works to get done. Then I'd be able to get to yours. I was thinking about that and I was thinking that maybe your should keep one on your shelf and send me one if you want and I'll document it. I'll want to get whatever info you'd like for me to include into the review. I can't make any promises that it'll be a great video or anything but I can do my best with it. Happy Easter Pastor Mike.
Outstanding👍😁🚒
that is very surprising that all of those were still edible!! great find!!
I would halft to say I probably got pretty lucky. You don't know what you are buying until you get it. Then your not even sure until you open it.
What a gem, awesome ration! It's nice to see that everything survived, hope you enjoyed it
-Dan
Oh yeah, I sent some samples of the contents to Shawker71, and Stickyfingaz745. They both got to try them before I even put the video out. I was definitely surprised it was so good. I could see one from the 70s maybe still being this good but 1956 I didn't think it had a real solid chance. I had high hopes though as I said in the video.
It's a can in a can a can can
Awesome Amigo !!! I love that tin !! It was very well preserved. Inside components look awesome for the age! WOW ! Powder understood. Save me 1 wrapper from the Hershey bar PLEASE ! Even A torn one, unless already discarded? Crackers awesome, and edible ! The energy tab can is MINT !!!!!!! Apparently, Tabs good also . WOW ! I love the " Roughing It " comment, LOL. I agree with the 62 years remark , Whole heartedly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The hot chocolate Idea was inspiring. I will remember this. The part 2 , proves to be interesting ! Hello Stella. , Jack and Ace say hello ! They are safe, No bullets in their guns, LOL. Besides at their height, would pose no problem anyway. I should show the dogs! Thanks friend for the idea . Jack, is 13,years old, long haired Jack Russell mix, Ace is A , spelled incorrectly, Pom -Tzu , Pomeranian, Shitzu mix, my wife's, turned 2 this year . When we first got Ace, I had shot squirrels bigger than him, LOL. Signal mirror good idea! Yes, I watch to the end, LOL. Peace amigo, glad to see you are standing now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How goes the battle, email, magnumforce62@gmail.com , Peace , John. Hope healing better friend !
Hey John. I'll save you a bar for display or whatever you'd like to do with it. I have an energy gel and a few other things put up here for you. I usually get some comments about the dogs so I guess I can include them from time to time. I turned the camera around because people like to say I don't eat stuff and I'm afraid to be on camera so I'll turn the camera around when I can. I had help the day I filmed that which made it much easier I'll say that.
Glad you are on the mend friend !! Get well soon. Peace!
As I watched this cool review I found myself wondering how many lives a ration like this one may have saved over the years?
OMG thousands of not hundreds of thousands. This has been a staple ever since WW2. I just missed out on a 1943 on eBay. Someone paid $250 for it and now it'll go into another shelf for 40 years never to be seen again. Honestly it'll probably get thrown away by a friend or family member.
Good video :) Well done
Good review, getting better with every one produced. Nice steve89 selfie view
I just got tired of people saying I don't eat the food. Plus the handful of people that think I'm scared to be on camera. With the space that I have to film it dictates how I can film myself. My buddy was actually helping me and we tried a bunch of different stuff that day it's the best it's ever turned out but lots of work to get to where it's at now. My goal is for each video to be better than the last from a WW2 ration to just a new MRE I want to do my best with each video.
Great video. One thing I just couldn't bear in this vid, is that your voice is offset to the left side, and it drives me insane. First I thought it was my setup.
+sIDsleeper
I guess it's because I set to the left of my phone when I recorded it. Do you think that's what it is? I'm not sure how I can fix it. I need a new camera in a bad way. Or should I say I need an actual camera.
+sIDsleeper
Oh I should also mention that when I was editing this one I had to mess with the volume level.....Alot. It cost me alot of extra work. I've got to figure out how to fix it or get something different to film with.
It occured to me as well, but I wasn't aware that phones had stereo mics. An easy way would be to just cut one of the two channels from the stereo audio, and use a dual mono coding for the vid. Also, it's possible that it only bothers me, so you might as well just leave it as is, it's still watchable, it just kinda irks me.
It's also possible that you just modified the two channels' levels differently.

We smoke the same cigarettes. Making that hot chocolate was cool and I never would have thought to do that.
+Bibliosaurus Rex
If I hadn't tried making the hot coco I would have got like 50 comments asking me why I didn't. The thing is you just don't always think of everything in the moment. Thankfully this time I was able to just film that part later on.
great video
Sunshine Biscuits make Cheez-it my fav snack!
+Rainbow Dash
No kidding? I did not know that. That's a cool piece of information.
Great review Oldsmokey.
Hey James as always thanks so much man. I appreciate your watching and commenting on my videos..... Later.
Recently discovered your channel. This was a fascinating ration. I do wonder why ration reviewers save empty product containers and put them on display. Thanks for showing us this ration.
+klown mittenz
The empty containers ate kinda like a trophy I guess idk. I jusat line to display then. Let alone even empty the container for this ration is probably worth $30-$40.
oh. ok. Thanks for explaining. Only empty food container I have is a spam can I use for a pencil holder next to my computer. Only for the irony.
As always, a great vid! Thanks for sharing!
+bx8garageman
I was happy to do it. I really enjoyed doing this one because ive still never seen another one. Hopefully I can find some more cool stuff like this in the future.
did the bars decomposed into chocolate power again
Pretty much. I told Steve lastnight I wish I had heated some up to try to melt it back together.
Awsome review Oldsmokey really enjoyed it!
Awesome glad you liked it.
Awesome review Smokey. Wow this was in good condition. Its cool to see something packed when my sister and brother were just babies. Like you said you do this to show what was being eaten back in those days in different situations and i really enjoy them:)
Aww and just wanted to add love the cute lil doggies:)
You can tell when I'm really excited about a ration I think. I really like all rations new and old but my heart is in the old rations. It's crazy how expensive they have gotten over the last year. I think so many people have started making videos or collecting it's supplies in demand now. The dogs might be cute but they are a pain in my rear most of the time. I think other than sent in things I'm going to focus on doing some old rations in the near future. I liked the way I felt when I finally finished this film.
I think i really like the old ones also. I like when you Steve Gundog and others do them. Its like little time capsules. Seeing food that is half a century old and so on. And actually finding something edible is also cool. Yea i guess its just hard to find the older stuff now. Hopefully more people will hop on the patreon page and support. Aww im sure they are but they are so adorable. Hope you have a great day:)
Old Smokey & Steve1989 have the same tray. Nice! Mmkay
Make hot chocolate out of the bars
+ladybassplayer23
Watch the rest of the video;)
Eh boss
good lookin pups!!!
Haha they are trouble makers that's for sure.
That's amazing how intact that is! Amazing review dude, also your beard is beautiful.
+Stephanie Ann
I Almost couldn't believe how good everything still was. Hopefully I'll find some more cool things like this in the future. They've just been selling so high I have no chance at getting any right now. The beard takes time to keep it clean and groomed but I've had it since I got hurt and just haven't shaved it yet. I'm thinking about shaving it almost off once I can walk again but idk. Thanks for watching the video and commenting.... Later.
Oldsmokey That is crazy, I usually see ones where things have been busted open to where everything is bad, I'm glad I got to see one in great condition and you got to try one! I hope you find another one too that'd be really cool to see even if they're bad they are still amazing to experience. And it definitely looks well kept. May I ask what happened? Did you break a leg or your back? I understand if you don't wanna tell me, some injuries are personal. As I said in my other comments to you, I'm in the medical field and training to be a trauma surgeon so I completely understand how touchy injury subjects can be. Id love to know though if you feel comfortable saying! No problem, you're in my top 4 favorite MRE reviewers so thank you, for the amazing videos!
Oldsmokey Also for what it's worth, I think you should keep the beard lol!
Noted haha. I think I might have some really good examples of some really old rations in my collection. I can't wait to get to them. I'm going to review the things sent in but the things of my own I review are going to be the best oldest things I have and fo from there.
Stella and seabass 💕
+Ana Carolina
Haha I've noticed that some people like to see Stella and Sebastian so I might try to include them in some times. I've also had people telling me that I don't eat the food,I'm afraid of being on camera, etc so I figured since this food was good and old I'd eat some on camera just to put that theory to rest. Hope ya liked the video and thanks for watching and commenting.... Later.
Pretty cool , great vid man
I am glad you enjoyed it.
Nice review
+Steve Lender
Thanks so much Steve.
First once again
+Jason Carlson
Haha, I remember but I still thought I was first haha. Jk man I think it is awesome your so quick. Hope you keep being first every time. Thanks for watchin..... Later.
Production quality is just Like Steve1989. Who's concept was it first
We use the same editing program and we're pretty close friends so I'm sure he picks up on things I do and I pick up on things he does in conversation. But I think maybe I should take it as a complement if my video was even close to the quality of video he puts out.
