1950 Food Packet Survival Tropic 2 Ration Pilot MRE Review Meal Ready to Eat Taste Test

- Опубліковано 20 вер 2017
- I am proud to present this Food Packet Survival Tropic 2 - never before photographed or documented. This rare Pilot's Survival Ration only had cigarettes in the first two models - the ST and ST-2. Produced in 1950, it uses many transitional WW2-Korean War ration components. An amazing time capsule - and now sealed in time. I hope you enjoy this review.
HUGE thank you to Sniiip3r off Ebay & MREinfo - here is a link to his shop that sells an extensive variety of international rations including this Portuguese Navy 24hr:

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
Steve makes me want to buy boxes of MRE's over fast food
Factssss
Drewwwww
Wait you’re here?
Why? Both are expensive and both will give you the shits...
@@dennis8309 General food gives you the shits, too. LUL.
"This is a really disturbing flavour" "Ughh this was the worst one yet" *Goes in for 5th bite*
SweHanK JR i read this as he said it lol
Totally potty! Why does he bother to each such rubbish!!!!????
@@divaden47 To annoy people like you, apparently. :P
I was born in 1950. Amazing enthusiasm from this young man, makes these videos very watchable. He was wrong though when he said that people didn't know the risks of cigarette smoking back in the day. We did...
Also, never thought I would ever say this about UA-cam, but I noticed the comment section is extremely, overwhelmingly positive!!! Very refreshing and hope restoring. Good people making good comments about a good guy........Nice
wric558 exactly, its refreshing for sure!
nice
wric558
Thank you for your service
Welcome to one of the best channels on UA-cam!
If a can hisses, but nobody is around to hear it, was it really nice?
Happy Mask Salesman underated comment
Schrödinger's Hiss?
Yes
Double Yess
If the ration gets out onto a tray, but there's no one there to see it, is it still nice? :)) good comment Sir Salesman.
Hey everyone, this is a very special ration - the ST-2 was never before photographed or properly documented. Before all existing examples
are hoarded in private collections, opened off camera, or simply thrown away as "old food" we can seal it in time with this video.
Despite it's slight quirks and flaws, I hope you all still enjoy the video and experience. A very important transitional survival ration.
I want to thank Sniiip3r off MREinfo and Ebay for making this one happen
*EDIT* The previous link to Sniiip3r's shop was not working - here is the working link!

Working on new videos right now, so stay tuned folks! Alright, cool. See ya. -Steve
A thumbs down! I would ate the cigarettes first. Have you ever sold those cigarettes online to a collector and for how much?
Steve1989MREInfo random question... are you a smoker? Or do you just try the cigarettes from older rations? I'm honestly just curious. 😁 if you're not a smoker and you just do it to try them I actually think that's awesome! It adds depth to your videos! I love all the content you put out! Much love Steve!
I believe in some of his older videos he says that he used to be a smoker, and now only smokes the classics he gets in rations.
Well said, Steve. Good work on this one as always man. We're all happy to have you back. Im actually as curious about if you smoke regularly as sparklefart haha.
Also cant believe you actually ate the jelly bar too. Wasnt expecting that after seeing them.
STOP EATING THE JELLY BARS STEVE, YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO PROVE TO US
I just can't help myself! Had to confirm it. Maybe there was a good one hiding in there
Indiana Steve And The Search For Sacred Jelly Bar (cue the John Williams music).
im pretty sure steve has become immune to old food at this point
Glutton for punish. Maybe Steve has a cast iron stomach?
Bryce Fisher I was yelling the same thing at my screen, normally I don't mind when he eats gross stuff, but man... those looked horrible
Steve can you demonstrate the water purification tablets on rain or pond water? Haven't ever seen you use them.
Jason J I would totally request the same thing
I agree i said that last time that would be a perfect first time demonstration for people on how to use em bcz ive heard the water changes color and it can fool someone thinkings it's contaminated, good point
Totally agree
he still hasn’t
Yeah I like to see that
Steves top ten; 10 ".M' kay" 9. "That's rancid" 8. "Thats a hard hitter" 7. Random smiles at camera when smoking cigarette . 6. "Something new ....or old" 5. "See ya" 4. "Cool" 3. "Lets get this out onto a tray" 2. "Nice Hiss" 1. "Nice"
dj22356 you forgot "shortening"...
"Sweet and savory"
"Buttery"
right off the bat
Kewl
Don’t forget:
DECADENT.
This is ten percent nice
Twenty percent cool
Fifteen percent concentrated flavor of foul
Five percent savory
Fifty percent stale
And a hundred percent reason to get this out on a tray!
Now that is a quality breakdown.. Nice!
Dat Acc fort minor lol
oh my god that was amazing
Dat Acc I thoroughly enjoyed your composition Sir. Well done!
I'm subbing to dat act just cause of this fire comment
No hiss is never a good sign.
Usually not a good sign at all - in this case it was certainly not. Sometimes those cans under pressure are bad too - botulism bursting everywhere. But that is still so much fun!
I wish I could remember what video you sprayed yourself in the eye with that foul cheese ... I can't find it :(
Steve1989MREInfo Yeah, even if none of the food items are edible, it's still cool to take a look at them.
Definitely a new meaning to the term "silent but deadly"
if the air flows in then it's probably good, but if the air flows out. Well best to take extreme caution. If nothing happens, well can go either way.
"I'm gonna smoke one any way"...famous last words
maybe it's lime, maybe it's lemon, maybe it's death? Let's try this!
Steve takes a trip to the tropics...NICE!
Sounds like a fun trip. If I had a few of these (granted fresh ones not brown jelly bars) and a fishing kit I would be a happy camper if marooned on an island for a couple weeks.
Steve1989MREInfo you almost were after Irma.
Sup AR !! Didn't know you like to watch MREs !!!
"Gosh, they smell just like the jelly bars. That's kinda worrisome... they don't smell anything like tobacco. LOL I'm gonna smoke one, anyway."
You're my hero..
ARPLATINUM oh no dont start that gundog crap here
3 uploads in the same week? Looks like christmas is early this year
Since we probably won't make it to the actual one, may as well have it now.
Yeah Christmas 2017 was actually moved to 2100, too bad we'll never make it to the actual one now.
David S. Christmas is at the end of the year so like any time it seems good it's early
David S. - When Steve uploads, it’s always Christmas.
Marth Ditto, and you can always watch them again.
*“Hey look at that dry mold!”* 😂🤣😂
"Looks like something out of a sci-fi movie!" lol
Lol it did look like some kind of alien growth
He sounded like he had discovered something cute and fluffy.
This guy is amazing
I really love how enthusiastic he sounds there.
Can we all agree he can stop apologizing for the chewing sounds?
He's just being polite, he's a very polite guy.
I’m watching him to specifically asmr his chews
Sees cigarettes in a ration video... Oh shit here he goes
Brayden You know Steve is going to crazy for a ration when it has either sweetened condensed milk or cigarettes.
Cute profile pic.
sadbuttrue319 or both. Shit he'd jump through the roof
sadbuttrue319 : Will he smoke them?
Dude you are the best MRE review eater on UA-cam. I've watched a lot of your videos and highly respect for what you do. A lot of guys on UA-cam try to do what you do, but they criticize too much for what these food are really for. You're well organized, funny, and informative. I find that you are the original MRE guy. Subscribed! Thank you!
Thanks so much Sambo!

@@Steve1989MRE i get it was probably his username at the time but this comment could use a slight edit
Recently found your channel, and I've been binge watching all of your stuff. I've been going through a really hard time with some personal stuff, and your videos help me sleep every night my man. Cant thank you enough for that, you've been a bigger help than you know!
Lorne Kerzner me too, u look like Jesus and I like that, those old cigarettes are awsome, five packs, that is neat, they should sell five packs now for like $1.50 or something
Oh boy can't wait for Steve1989 to eat that frozen ice age mammoth his ancestor left for him in the ground. Pretty sure it's nice.
Joshwist55
Hopefully it has a "Nice Hiss" when he opens it up...
I don't know if you're familiar with an old show called Northern Exposure, but there was an episode about something like that.
The Royal Society dined on steaks of thawed woolly mammoth.
Wow, what a beautiful sample. Thanks for sharing.
I agree Fernbark - so glad you could experience it along with us. Thank you for your true appreciation in it.
*_Oh Boy!.... SMOKES!!!_*
Nothing beats the old unfiltered ones
Camels, Pall Malls, and Lucky Strikes are the best of the best.
Burfurd64
I don't even smoke but I find it very relaxing to watch Steve smoke!
Weird but true.
Steve1989MREInfo
I don't even smoke and never have but it is very relaxing to watch you smoke. Weird but true. Thanks for all your hard work, I think your channel is one of the very best on YT!
If Steve ever gets hard up to fund his ration addiction he can start making French smoking fetish vids. The ladies would lose their shit. Hell, the men would too.
Anyone appreciate the intro music to his videos?
@@whopperwithcheese actually he makes all the music for his videos himself!
@@D1mPlays cool i never knew that!! Thanks for the factoid pretty nice
eats a rancid jelly bar, burns the hell out of his mouth with hot coffee trying to get rid of the taste, decides that perhaps the scalding pain in his mouth would be the perfect combination with the rancid jelly bars. Steve I love you man but I really worry about you sometimes, please be safe
Steve, I speak for everyone when I ask... you finished off those jelly bars off camera didn't you
Hey CC! I actually tried one more small bite of one after the shoot... it wasn't any better. :)
hahahahahahhaha
stevie out here smoking jelly bar
"What happened to these things?? I can't understand why they taste so bad!!"
....'best before 1952'
I guess this mystery will remain unsolved!
Cue the “Unsolved Mysteries” theme tune.
These videos with your enthusiasm literally gives me life
Does anyone else eat along with him?
Now that's the way to do it.
I usually have a smoke when Steve smokes.
Yes, I smoke and drink coffee whilst he does too.
Steve1989MREInfo I like to eat when you are lol typically soup or something, get some more CWR’s (cold weather rations)
Yes and this one was a real challenge 😄
I can't imagine what those fruit bars would have tasted like... please don't hurt yourself with stuff like that Steve
man Im so glad youre almost to 500k. All my friends found you independently. Just a good wholesome channel, nice
"Alright so let's get this onto a tray." *poofs* "Excellent!" *guitar riff*
It's amazing to see the evolution in rations over the decades.. Steve, would you ever do a video about the major innovations and their impact?
Great work as always brother!
Hey Matt, I agree. It is certainly a video worthy explanation as to our progress and really in many ways simplification in our advancements. The survival rations nowadays are so minimalist.
Thanks so much man! I am working on new ones now so stay tuned
I get a warm and fuzzy feeling everytime I see you've uploaded a video! You're awesome steve
Hey Michael - that's a great sign! And thank you man.
Steve your vids are perfect gold. I've searched some other MRE reviewers yearning for more content, but nothing compares to you sir. Thank you from Philly!
Hey steve, part of the difference between cigarettes back in the day, and now, is that at some point in the 60's, the cigarette companies started adding adulterants in far greater quantities. My brother, having worked tobacco farms, can tell you that the best smokes came from long leaves kept high and dry (and in a bird free area, 'nuff said.). It was also rumored that each brand started including chemicals in the tobacco, making them more viciously addictive and and untraceable until burned. My insight on that is purely anecdotal, as I have seen several relatives have odd reactions to cigarettes that were not their usual brand. (made them feel high or made them feel sick). As always, thank you for documenting a bit of history for us.
Lots of stuff was done to cigarettes around that time, lower quality tobacco started to be used (premium stuff was reserved for pipe and "roll your own" tobacco), filtered cigarettes became common rather than unfiltered, milder strength cigarettes (not sure if that was achieved by just the filters or a chemical process as well) and later (70's I think) impregnating smokeless gunpowder in the paper to make them burn faster.
No idea exactly what chemicals were added, but even doctors agree you're better off to roll your own cigarettes (with filters) than smoke factory made ones.
D. Hall old school smokes are the best, I don’t smoke anymore since 95 but when I do I go classic. Ebay has many. Got old gold straights, pall mall in those weird wide boxes like trailer park boys, classic pall malls red and white, and chesterfields. Fantastic stuff. Nice!! Watch steve soon as he will have some nice movie shirts. I hope he where’s my favorite I’m sending, dictator. Lol
D. Hall now this explains why my grandfather smoke 2 packs a day and still have no lung problems and still strong
he is 72 this year
My Hentai Girl Spend time with him while you can. That’s all I’m going to say about a 72 year old who’s smoking two packs a day. And if he ever attempted to stop, it would also probably kill him.
D. Hall Cigarettes don't actually have anything added to make them smooth, it's a matter of the blend, during the 1950'-1960's harsher Cigarettes grew popular and that's when Marlboro and Newport began dominating the market. These older cigarettes from 30's-40's were smoother simply because people smoked them filterless and they had to be. You can actually search on the Tobacco companies website for a full list of additives to their cigarettes, you'll quickly learn the whole 200 chemicals story is a flat out lie. It's licorice extract and some preservatives.
Hooray!! Another video from Steve! Keep up the great work!
Hey Raistlin, hope you like this one. I'm working on a couple more right now too, so stay tuned.
why do i always watch these when im hungry?
Hey Sassy, you gotta have some quality snacks on deck when you're watching these!
Always eat while watching Steve's videos. Because it WILL make you hungry. Even if it is gross.
Sassy Murdoch do like the rest of us and grab a meal while you watch .
Unique channels like this one is what keeps UA-cam alive. Awesome video
This is great ,by far my new favorite channel, my older bro brought me a bunch of marine mre's like over 10 yrs ago when he came back from Iraq and it was a very memorable experience, this brings me back.
Hell yeah! Back in the swing of things despite Irma! Steve and FL are more resilient than the media could have predicted! A nice 1950s vintage! I always enjoy the old ones the most because you respect every wrapper and every tin. You're the man Steve!
Hey Everythingisdull! Always great to see ya man. And certainly feels good to be back in the groove. This was a very special experience here - and is truly fantastic to be able to seal it in time here for all to enjoy. Thank you man!
Picks up girl from a bar n brings her home.
"Alright let's get you out onto a tray"
*Nice*
God this is so cool, as a MRE reviewer I never thought I would see this one actually make it on camera. Thank you so much for sealing this slice of history in a video.
I stumbled upon your videos a few days ago, and suddenly I'm hooked. So interesting to see these time capsules opened. Nice!
I was having a pretty bad day today until I saw a new video was posted. Somehow Steve has managed to make a little bit of it nice. Thanks, Steve!
Hey Megalonyx, I am sorry your day wasn't going so well. But I'm glad to have helped brighten it a little. & You're so welcome!
Wouldn't the cigarettes be hunger suppressants as well? It would be ideal if they were considering the jelly bars are inadequate for 1/3 men requiring 2000+ calories daily.
WallStreetBlues good call, damn who that guy in your picture he looks so familiar.
Darth Faded Lucky Luciano the Mafioso
Still wasting valuable space in survival mre on 2 packs of smokes is pretty nuts.
Toralian89 Coffee isn't needed for survival either. Trust me, they were worth their weight in gold.
Steve, been watching some of your videos over the last few days. I appreciate the way you describe tastes, textures, experiences, etc. It's almost like I'm there. "Cool" ...thanks.
Awesome, Steve!! Your videos are so amazingly educational, yet entertaining. Keep up the good work. I'll be here for every video!!
Two packs of smokes?
*not bad*
It's pretty crazy to consider this has never been documented, but this and potentially many others have been sitting away for all these years.
I had never considered Jelly bars to be such a risk of contaminant to other things before.
Great upload steve! I do enjoy your cigarette featuring MRE's just to see how they held up, and the difference they have.
It really is Elboydo. And very good chance it will never have any documentation again. Many rations have been opened up/thrown away over the years and are essentially extinct. So sealing them in time is my main mission on this channel.
Those Jelly Bars were certainly held an unexpected turn of events. At least they were still "sortof edible"
Thanks so much man! I really love when these old ones have the smokes - nothing beats that experience.
Your voice is very soothing & calming. It’s literally one of the main reasons why I keep coming back and watching. Lol
Thanks for documenting this awesome ration Steve glad you were able to get your hands on one.
I have yelled "Aw no dude, stop, why?!" at my computer so many times because of this show
I want someone to love me like Steve loves his old cigarettes.
You will someday soon Operation. Keep cool & stay Nice man.
Operation Fat Ass 😂😂😂
I'm dying please help 😂😂😂
That survival guide was actually my favorite part of the ration, love little informative pieces like that.
Always enjoy your reviews. Thanks for what you do :)
Thanks Steve loving these vids.
You're welcome William, and right on man. Glad you're enjoying them.
>"Oh, that is so gross, I can't believe I took a bite out of that."
>*proceeds to take another jelly mass out of the wrapper and eat it*
Please never change, Steve
Just had to confirm it - ya never know 'til ya try
your videos satisfy me more than anything i normally watch i got you notified bro👍🏽
I don’t know what happened but one day I started watching your videos and now I watch them once every few days and can’t seem to stop, I don’t know what you did to me but well done sir
Steven Reginald 1989, you stop eating those gross jelly bars right now!
"I can't believe I just ate a piece"
'Eats another piece'
Everything about these videos is just so strange and awesome. Everything from the intro music, to the "nice!"
Steve your videos help calm my anxiety better then anything. Love you man!
2 day back to back uploads...nice!
Hey Ace, I got more coming right up so stay tuned. Alright, cool!
You're the man, Steve. Keep it up!
Hey right on, Thomas ! I'll keep on it!
Excellent soldier photos at the beginning !
Thanks for sharing🌻
Wow, that brochure is amazing. Thanks for scanning through!
Left hand drinking the coffee, but you put it back on the tray with your right. Nice! You are trying to see if we pay attention, right? Lol
I feel exactly like that. Sometimes he edits in very minuscule details. Nice.
I was hoping someone would spot that! It's always fun to see what folks notice.
We notice, that's what makes your videos so great!
I'm late! D: I missed the last two and I have a lot of catching up to do. Steve, welcome back buddy, and thanks so much for the P-38!
Hey Jade! Better late than never. Always great to have ya here - and so good to be back. And you're so welcome! Thank you too for helping make all this happen!
Jade R Broadway The P-38 is probably the one thing I have used the most on my key 🔑 chain. Had mine since ‘98, my dad has had his from’69 from Vietnam.
haha my dad has several from his tours as well. remember seeing as a kid, like why would anyone use this? lol
Gotta be the first time I have seen someone reviewing ancient smokes. Great!
Your youtube videos are the best out of all my subscriptions by far. Keep up the good work!!
Steve you are the man.
Hey right on BuddySmiles - thanks man.
Your awesome dude! I wait everyday for a video! :D
Hey Jim, thanks man! I am working on new ones right now so stay tuned! :)
Glad you are back and its good you made it through the hurricane
Thanks for sharing the history and your videos ! ! !
I've never seen a man so excited to see dry mold. Great video once again! Saved this for when I got off work today.
Nice biceps
Everytime Steve farts he says "Nice hiss!"
Oh man 😂
This one seriously made me laugh. 😆
if its a hiss, probably it wouldnt be nice.
Stocklee let's get this out onto a tray..
Stocklee lol now I'm going to be saying it
Two days of Steve videos in a row I am in heaven
This channel is a breath of fresh air
I could feel the disappointment when you said "no hiss" in that time 😂😂😂
Nice!
Alright, cool! Hope you like this one, Joe!
Your content is just superb. Keep at it Steve!
I dont know why its so relaxing to hear him talk while he smokes. This stuff is like therapy.
Another review? Nice!
Hope you like this one, Chef Excellence! Alright, cool!
Well, this one was certainly interesting. I'd have to agree with you, heat stress was most likely the cause of this. Jello gets like that under consistent exposure. Either sun or, someone's cabinet under a light bulb. Considering the collectors are old timers with no interest in sharing, i'm willing to bet it was the second one. And if that's the case, just like in the car world where they let cars rot because "my investment" shame on them.
This one is one of the hardest to find info on rations. There are some older pics, a fella has a few pictures from the "manuals" but certainly can't compete with this video.
smoking with steve is always a thing to enjoy
I always get way too excited when I see a pack of Camels. I'm so jealous you get to experience history in such a unique way, but I'm very thankful you share it with all of us. Thanks for all of your hard work to produce and maintain this channel.
I know the old cigarettes are better
You really just ate that, bruh...
I've had worse
Great video man! You're cooler than the underside of a pillow. I've been binging your vids for awhile and I'm constantly impressed at your descriptions and overall vibe. Thank you for making these videos.
How can you not love this guy
get you a man who can do both (eat nasty bars and document under-appreciated, historically valuable artifacts)
*long silence*
That... is smooth
I hold my breath until there is a hiss or lack of a hiss. What am I doing with my life? Great video once again. One of the few UA-camrs I give a like before I watch the video. I've never been disappointed.
Oh heck yes! All of my favorite items in one video!
I don't even smoke cigarettes and this makes me crave one.
I smoked 2 packs a day and stopped just this year. Imagune how it makes me feel to watch this :D
Oh man nothing beats a cigarette, coffee, and donut for breakfast .
I have a pack of old school Lucky Strikes that I only smoke when I watch him smoking these WW2 cigs
Smoking gives u cancer, no nice there
Welcome back Steve
Thanks man, it's great to be back
Steve1989MREInfo no problem dude good work
Love your vids Steve, keep them coming
Don’t ever stop making videos, I find them so relaxing Lol
Steve, you're the man! :) More dutch rations in the future perhaps?
Hey CrADrafgo, right on man! I have a Dutch ROEK Arctic 24hr Ration coming up early Winter.
Steve1989MREInfo Cool! Looking forward to it! :)
