  • Check out this New Zealand 24 Hour Ration. It was 100% fresh which is a surprise for being already 6 years old. An amazing MRE, with one of the best sets of main courses I have ever had in a thermostabilized retort pouch. The NZ 24hr ORP is top of the line.

    Here’s the thing: I love Steve’s channel. He’s enthusiastic about reviewing rations. He has a consistent format and great visual display. His added little touches like the musical stirring spoons and the snapshots of soldiers from the relevant countries complement the videos. But one element that is consistently impressive is that he does not hesitate to give a ‘shout out’ - and often an outright endorsement - of other ‘MRE review’ channels.

      Right. I think he's probably a genuinely nice dude.
      And I think he only cares about making quality content and getting enough $$$ to fund his next video (unless they are all demonetized for having military themes). He has a ton of subs and could make a fortune just spamming low quality videos but he never does that.

    Hey everyone, we're back with this 2011 NZ ORP. This ration was incredibly fresh for being 6 years old. Storage conditions mean everything.
    Kiwi Dude had originally sent one of these to me earlier this year - but customs here in the U.S. removed the two mains from it. These things happen sometimes, unfortunately.
    So James out in New Zealand sent two NZ ORPs out - and I reviewed this one and RC Gusto now has the other. Thanks so much both to Kiwi Dude and to James from NZ for making this video happen!
    Check out Kiwi Dude's MRE Review channel here: ua-cam.com/users/KiwiDudeMRE For anyone who somehow has not seen his videos - you gotta give him a look and subscribe. He has made some of the best MRE Reviews ever made. True classics!
    I may have one more video out on the 22nd or 23rd. But if not, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

      Add seasoning
      Add water
      _______________
      And THEN you can remove the water afterwards if you want, but the other way arround is just airy and not much absorbation of that seasoning for the noodles

    Hey Steve, just a heads-up in case you ever try this ration again, or if you ever come across the Maggi 2-minute noodles. You add the flavouring sachet into the water while it's cooking, and you eat it as a soupy noodle. It's super yummy, and is basically similar to the breakfast beef soup you had.

    You know you've been binge watching Steve1989MREInfo videos when:
    - Your friends and family comment on how often you use the word, "Nice!"...
    - You can't eat dinner unless it's set out on a compartmentalized tray...
    - After years of lobbying against big tobacco, you find yourself longing for a smoke...
    What else folks? :)
