Hey everyone! In this video, we check out two different generations of fascinating Pilot's Survival Kits and a full review on Vietnam Era Pilot's Survival Rations! The Food Packet Survival Abandon Aircraft was sent in by an awesome fellow UA-camr named tarstakars. Thank you so so much man! This was an incredible experience.
And thank you everyone for watching & subscribing - hope
you enjoyed this one, as I certainly did making it!

Food Packet, Survival, Abandon Aircraft. (SAC PAC) (Ration, Special, Survival). Obsolete.
This food packet was intended for escape and evasion activities after evacuation of long range aircraft and was used in training by the Air Force Survival School. Developed at the request of the Strategic Air Command in 1950, it consisted of the highly concentrated {high fat, high protein, high caloric) food bars SAC stipulated, providing about 3475 calories in the two metal cans that constituted each packet. The packet weighed 34 ounces and occupied a volume of 71.3 cubic inches. Despite its nomenclature, this item was not strictly a survival ration, and its composition made it unsuitable for consumption when drinking water was limited. As one of its major components, meat food product bars, had been produced by only one manufacturer, procurement became virtually impossible when the manufactuer altered his equipment in the 1970's. Procurement authorization was discontinued in 1977.

LET'S GET THIS OUT ONTO A TRAY, NICE™
NICE HISS™
I'LL BE COMING BACK AT YOU WITH SOMETHING NEW OR OLD, ALRIGHT COOL SEE YA™ - Розваги
"my dad turned 15 when this was packaged..."
I had always assumed Steve was brought into this world by opening a can and adding water...
Funny
And ofcourse, a very nice hiss..
I have a joke about it and I’m terribly sorry it’s very dark.
Doctor: Nice hiss!
Steve was absolutely rehydrated at birth
His mom got him out onto a tray... Nice!
"This one smells a little funky... oh that's delicious" lmao I couldn't stop laughing. Your stomach must be a nuclear reactor.
+A Goharpour he has the lead belly perk
Could you imagine what torture you put your Fallot character through, making him eat 500 year old irradiated salisbury steak
+john smith Dude you killed me XD
+A Goharpour Or hyena stomach... Hyena can eat totally rotten meet (maybe for contents this video "juicy beef")
+Jack true
looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines
blawdy roots
"Have you ever seen a grown man naked?" "Do you like gladiator movies?"
Nice
Sepultura roots bloody roots
Surely, you can't be serious?
Take the go pills!
"nice nice nice nice nice nice nice!"
Wonder if he did hahahha
Xaevryn looks good, good, good, good, good, good
Wow... tight tight tight tight
HAHAHAHAHA !
@House of Malice But there is 5 of them.
Tell me I'm not the only one who really loves the sound of the P38 in turbo mode. :)
its great
ASMR
It’s pretty rad, man. :)
Tetracaine Ophthalmic is a local anesthetic. It is mostly used in the eyes. The pilots have to Egress at great speeds the wind can damage their eyes if they do not put down their visors first.
phenacetin is a slightly different version of acetaminophen that is carcinogenic btw
Cool beans on the info. Thumbs up 👍
Love reading the adderall warnings too. I get prescribed that exact pill to this day.
The reason they say not to give it to “hysterical or severely wounded men” is because it can really ramp up your anxiety, and it increases your blood flow. Your heart rate goes up, so you would probably bleed out a lot faster if you had a serious injury
If you ever write an autobiography, you should seriously name it:
"Let's get this out onto a tray... Nice!: An Autobiography"
haha
"Chapter One. Oh boy, here we go. Alright! Let's check this out. Look at this. Jeez. Oh wow."
+Ashley Pomeroy spot on
+Ashley Pomeroy chapter two "oh that smells ransed *still dumps it on the tray*
Best comment ever
The way Steve describes the taste of a 50 year old cereal bar is just pure poetry.
XD "I can tell under my tongue that it is slightly rancid. Hold on." -Takes another bite. -
It puts it into perspective when he says something tastes good huh?
"I'm eating 47 year old beef...and it's decent."
Fantastic videos. I just subscribed.
Call it "dry aged steak" and sell it to California yuppies for a nice price.
BrideOfSnape you would have to call it vegan meat
Thanks for this one Steve. Interesting to see what my grandfather would have carried in Vietnam (well similar) flying Hueys for the RAAF No. 9 Squadron! He was actually shot down while flying for the RAF over Yugoslavia during WW2 and had to ditch and escaped just before the plane hit the water. Locals then dressed him as a woman to smuggle him out to a ship back to England!
That's an amazing story!!#
And a cross dressing addition was born
Awesome story Brendan Witham!
He must have been a cute femboy 😂
Amazing
If I'm not mistaken the pills said, expires in 1965 not made in 1965
who else looks forward to his "let's get this out on a tray...NICE" LOL love this dude
Ian Ammar the best is when he's about to say the word nice about the ration and jump cuts to the tray and him saying it aha
Ian Ammar absolutely
The meat-heavy ration suggests primary usage/issue in cold weather regions.The high fat & protein would generate lots of heat in the human body and require substantial water to digest, readily available by melting snow. Cereal bars are still my favorite, and I think I have a new pkt coming NORTH from FLA!! :-)
Those cereal bars are still in inventory (or were) same company too. Combination knife-sharpener and oatmeal bar.
The Wilson's meat bar, much lamented when they went away, by long haul hikers.
APC was a combination of aspirin, phenacetin, and caffeine, which was generally used as a pain reliever for headaches but also had some fever reducing properties like Tylenol. It was pretty common from the mid-1900s until the 1970s - at that point, the phenacetin was banned in the US and Canada due to dangerous side effects.
I'm actually craving some weird 49 year old ground beef now...what to do...?...
Aha!!! TACO BELL!!
I could listen to this man say "Nice!" for hours.
+Steve1989 MREinfo *click* NOICE
I think I just did
I just recently found these videos and I love watching them. I really appreciate the amount of information Steve gives us about the rations and how much respect he has for them. Thanks for all you do!
I noticed the tea even had that slight skim of foam on top when you first mixed it. A good indicator of fresh instant tea.I remember it so well from my teens.
Whenever I open packaged food now, I review it in my head. Love the videos man.
Never have i wanted to eat 20+ year old food until i found you.
I got some old food in the back of my fridge from a few weeks back. Cmon over and chow down.
Steve you are awesome and put out great videos. One mistake. The antibiotics expired in 1965. They were probably produced around 1955 along with the go pills. Otherwise I always enjoy your videos and hope you keep on making them.
The eye cream isn’t meant to numb, it’s for eye infections and the viscosity and colour is almost perfect. It’s a rare gem
8:26 how do you know that?
Ophthalmic ointment is antibiotics for eye infections such as pink eye.
"Smells a little strange"... Yes its a 60 year old compressed bar of meat.
YOU'RE a 60 year old compressed bar of meat.
roasted
Greg Mitchell hmm.. nice
Anton Sebastian lmao
Hahahahahahhaahhahahahahaha!
He would be the fattest soldier. Every other soldiers' complaining about the bad food and he's asking for seconds.
Shawn Eshghi it's not that bad when you first start eating them, it's months and years on end that make you hate the shit. Plus there's only like 5 or 6 different meals, at least the last time I had to eat em.
it wasn't like that in vietnam
Menu fatigue is the main issue it seems.
"smells like old medicine"
it is
When Steve dies, his digestive system is being donated to the Smithsonian!!
*if Steve dies
I'm pretty sure this man is immortal by now
I've can't really put myself in their shoes, but I can imagine candy bars, neat, tea, coffee, etc must have been huge morale boosters. As in imagine being somewhere alone stranded wondering if you'll ever see home and you just pop open your survival kit and make some tea or coffee and have possibly gum. I'm not sure but if I were in their shoes I'd have a huge smile on my face from that
Also amphetamine.
this is the best fucking channel on youtube
I have never been much of a war buff but this is really interesting. My great uncle fought in WWII as a bombader and he went down with the plan after giving his parachute to someone who didn't have one. It is really cool to think that he probably ate something similar and used a kit like this one.
let's get this out onto a tray! NICE!
I really enjoy your videos. It's amazing how well some of those Survival kits are made to last. It's Great that you open them up & try the contents out
kinda wish they still make these, this looks like something I would carry in my pack when I or at least those meat bars. some mre's take up a lot of space in my day pack.
These videos are awesome man. Thank you.
Don't think anyone else ever could've gotten me to spend nearly as much time binge watching episode after episode of military ration reviews. I even catch myself saying "Let's get this out onto a tray . . . NICE!" on a somewhat regular basis, LOL. Stumbled across your channel entirely by accident and now it's one of my favorites, great job, and great channel. Informative and entertaining . . . and . . . well . . . It's just . . . NICE!
Nice hiss
I just watched this for a half hour and I have no regrets. Thanks UA-cam for yet another great suggestion.
hope there's some RAD-X in there
"starting to grow on me"
well its been growing on its own for the past 45 years. now its growing in you ;D
i been kinda hooked on watching these the last 2 days. im always impressed at how much they pack into small containers.
This is the second video that I have watched from your channel and I am already addicted to it! Keep up the good videos Steve:)
one of my fave things about ur vids, is the fast motion can opening, sounds/looks so cool
MOST UNUSUAL finding the Amphetamine Tablets included. The APCs were mil-issue OTC pain meds and why phenacetin and caffeine were added to the aspirin in a pharmacological mystery to my layman intellect. GOOD FIND STEVE! You da man with the hooks set far and wide. Survival kits were really expanded and I think perfected during the VN War era... cool stuff man.
Thanks for posting these videos. It’s like a new time capsule every episode.
Cheers
Thanks for the memory! We ate some generation of this meal in USAF Survival training school 1971. I remember a chocolate bar in our version but the rest was the same. As a training experience, most guys didn’t even try some of the stuff. I remember that I could trade a chocolate bar for several cereal or meat bars. We had survival meals stored on the airplanes but I could never get my hands on one again.
the deadpan delivery of "I'm eating 47 year old beef," it killed me.
What am I doing here?! I have work in the morning!!!
Dude! You are a brave man with a cast iron gut! Hats off to yah! I love watching your videos! Makes me appreciate the MRE's I we in the Army in the 90's and 2000's.
Dude, your channel rules! I love looking at these kits!
My grandpa is a Vietnam Veteran but he passed away a few years ago :(, I really enjoyed the video!
Vietnam Vets never got the respect that they deserved. Stupid hippies back here blamed them when the blame belonged to the government.
Are you a vet yourself cause you seem to know allot by allot i mean allot.
TrailorStudios No, I've never served in the military but I know quite a few who have. The Vietnam Vets that I know and knew don't have a chip on their shoulder about the reception that they received coming back. I mean they've never said anything mean about the situation, but I am angry for them. It was a bad war that shouldn't really have taken place but they still fought when they were called and deserve the respect that any other veterans have gotten. Your grandfather was a hero.
Chris AA
Thank you for the respect, and thank you for calling my grandpa a hero:)
TrailorStudios You're welcome.
Have you ever gotten sick from the old rations you eat?
loving the videos, Steve!
INCREDIBLE SHOW. You're always so much fun to watch.
10:00 if you look the water purification tablets the inspection test date says 9/2012
Damn
Those meat bars were amazing, I was sure when you opened them up that they would have turned gray or had fur (mold) growing on them or something. I also think it's ironic that the fruit cake bars were the only thing that went bad, considering that fruit cakes are supposed to last forever!
In basic training, 1974, our drill sergeants told us to save the fruitcake for survival ration. Civilian versions last so long due to alcohol content. Brandy or rum were common. The plastic wrapped grocery store versions have no alcohol, and neither did the C ration.
love your channel Steve. Very interesting and well done!
Man those keys always remind me of opening Spam as a kid. I love that stuff
OMG 4 videos in one day! Epic, keep it up sir.
"Shoot, a fella’ could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.”
Gotta love when you've been watching Steve's videos long enough and you notice there's no hiss lol
My PSK-2 Survival Kits from the 1970's were a little bit different. Instead of the Sweet Chocolate bar, my kit contained a bar of Tropical Chocolate (basically just Cocoa Powder compressed into a bar) and it even states on the package that you can crumble the bar to make Hot Cocoa. I removed the Bouillon Cubes and replaced them with a heaping teaspoon-full of Bouillon Powder which I put in a heavy walled plastic bag and then heat-sealed the bag. I also upgraded all of the medications in the kit. In Kit Part-2 my kit also contained a small cylindrical Butane Lighter, a metal Signal Mirror, a Scalpel Blade, and a small pencil and pad of paper. I removed the Butane Lighter and replaced it with a Metal Match. - I keep these two kits in my backpack in my truck and periodically update the medications.
"Phenacetin (or acetophenetidin) is a pain-relieving and fever-reducing drug, which was widely used between its introduction in 1887 and the 1983 ban imposed by the FDA on its use in the United States. Its use has declined because of its adverse effects, which include increased risk of certain cancers and kidney damage. It is metabolized as paracetamol (acetaminophen), which replaced it in some over-the-counter medications following the ban on phenacetin."

Just found this channel. There really is a youtube channel for everything! Subscribed.
You hit 100,000 Subscribers! Great job, you deserve it. Keep up the great work.
Cmon do a couple of those amphetamine tablets and film your reaction.
*instant release* lol
It'd be like chain smoking 5 cigarettes and getting an insane nicotine buzz for several hours. If they were new it's probably put em on cloud 9.
no shit captain obvious!
Is it weird that I feel like eating old food like that? It made me kinda hungry.
I haven't seen one of your videos in months when I binge watched you for about 3 nights straight. I gotta say... I missed your voice! Keep up the cool videos man!
great video Steve, keep up the good work!
Where's the 1911 pistol and combination Roosian phrasebook/bible?
Love your channel it's strangely addicting 🤗🤗
Fantastic channel and videos dude
I like watching it and reading the veterans comments who lived it on your videos.
lol amphetamine sulfate, holy shit. now that's why I call a meal!
Lets get that out on a tray
@@rallypower Nice!
APC= All Purpose Capsule, I heard that back in the day, the Navy Corpsmen used to issue APC's for all kinds of ailments. Headache, Sore Throat, ETC. I believe they were the predecessor of Aleve, or Advil.
APC is exactly what it said on the vial.
Aspirin Phenacetin Caffeine
***** yes. But in the Military, there always was a nickname for most items.
you get your hands on the best ones great vid as all ways steve
"Let's get this out on a tray; Nice!" My favorite part of all your videos.
Definitely keep the foil. Shaped into a small cup, it'll hold water. Modern day foil is so freakin' cheap that it won't hold water no matter how many layers thick you make it. I know that old foil is in a bit of a demand by preppers.
You've gotta take one of the amphetamines.
Soniti1324 Steve1989 Narcoticsinfo
+Steve1989 MREinfo My wife is a pharmacist and she said they are most likely very weak at best depending on storage conditions but there are not many studies on the shelf life of amphetamines. Some say 28-40 year life span with a 90% potency rate. Also you said the amphetamines were manufactured in 1955 which is correct then said the Terramycin was manufactured 1965 which is wrong. The 1965 date on the Terramycin is the exp date, not date of manufacture.
+Steve1989 MREinfo lol take all 6 n tweak for 2 days, jk don't do that. Unless that's your thing. Probably wouldn't get you that high. Just a 5 mg per pill, where as people to get high use upwards of 50mg a hit. Some people even get prescribed more than those 6 pills contain in a day for ADD or other disorders.
+IT'S TIME TO STOP I think he already did. He's eating 47 year old food, after all. LOL J/k. Cool history lesson.
+Ants In My Eyes Johnson READ MY MIND lol
Loving your vid's, very cool!!
I LOVE the survival kit vids! More please!
you test those go pills? lol
"Nice!"
I feel like a half of an exclamation point would be the most accurate because its like he is intrigued, but hes not yelling
I do so love it when you say "Nice!"
+BulldogOzzy
lol, me too
there's just something about it
'Let's get it out onto a tray!.........Nice'. Said the woman, to the soldier. XD

Great vid. very entertaining. you have a good UA-cam personality
I see that Okinawa poster you got there...your affinity for MRE's makes much sense now
47 year old dead animal. It's weird to think you're eating part of an animal that was grazing in a field some 50 years ago!
@@danielwhittaker695 are you an ex-carnivore, turned CAP-nivore? P.s. the irony of ya telling vegans to go die... all ye red meat fatties gonna have shorter lives due to ARTERY CLOGGIN' !
colin luxury nice bait keep telling yourself that grass eater
@@danielwhittaker695 it's you're.
I bet those were much better
The Ophthalmic Ointment Is For Your Eyes, In Case Of Any Eye Injuries Caused From Ejecting Or Bailing Out Of The Aircraft.
As For The Teramycin, The Bottle Said That 1965 Is The Expiration Date, Not The Date Of Manufacture.
Great Review On The PSK's
Hace una hora me estaba preguntando con mi novia,si habria algun uruguayo mas que viera estos canales,o era yo el unico raro,y me respondiste solo,jajja,saludos.
+sujeto16a
Saludos desde los Estados Unidos, y los videos de los MRE's son muy entretenidos.
dude, you're nuts. you actually eat the stuff thats ancient. mad respect bro, keep up the great vids
I dont know how i got here but i love it! Videos are totally informative gives me or makes me want to learn more about the situations these were used in, missions etc
actually the other 1 may have been made in 1955 too, the 1965 looked to be expiration date not manufacturing date.. ;)
Hey, just discovered your channel the other day, some really interesting content.
Just a minor thing, but isn't the date on the Terramycin Tablets (may 1965) the expiration date and the one in the d-Amphetamine Sulfate (1955) the manufactoring date, so you mistakenly compared those two?
If there was a UA-cam medal for bravery, you've earned it. Nice video.
Awesome vid Steve
Again, i LOVE your videos, when you reach 18,000 subscribers or any other number, you should do a contest or giveaway for some old items. even the Go Pills would be a good collectible since they are still perfect looking..."Hysterical or wounded men", Good Content. :D
P.S., if you're not eating old food rations what is your favorite food?
533k now D:
18,000 lol look at him now
It expires in May of 1965 not made in 1965
Lol what's expired mean?
That is the date were the ration is considered to no longer be safe for consumption.
+john stokes I was joking but depending on conditions they still can be good 50 year later this one wasn't.
I get worried when I smell my fridge yet at times the fridge is like a t.v.?
these videos are absolutely mesmerizing
Excellent stuff. My favorite part was the browning of the meat bar on the griddle.
Wouldn’t it have been a nice touch to have included some US dollars in those survival kits - buying something essential or bribing someone to help u could have saved lives in situations like Korea & Vietnam
..Or help you get robbed.
a dehydrated meat bar is just a big chunk of jerky?
“That’s a 48 year old meat bar” had me dying laughing
You my friend, Have got yourself a new Subber! lol Great Videos
