I am 100% on board with that. I love binging Steve's videos when I am feeling all het up about something, because he's just so mellow. One of those "Hey, don't stress, things will work out. Take a breather, collect yourself, and then we'll go get 'er done" type of voices. :)
Steve is the only person on UA-cam I consistently watch. Everyone else either turns into an ass or I get sick of them. Steve is the exact same guy he has always been and I respect that so much.
With similar videos, gschultz9 is friendly sounding but it’s more about the MRE itself with gschultz, Nathan has a nice deep voice, and is similar to gschultz9, both are more “flat toned” in comparison to Steve’s MRE reviews.. Esp. gschultz9. Lloyd’s ASMR does some MRE reviews, but Lloyd is a bit odd, and the ASMR deal is very “different”…. Whispering talk, etc.
Great coverage Steve! A bit of info on Danish rations as I was taught: Typically the whole rye bread and paté are the lunch items, as a fairly traditional danish open faced sandwich, this also goes for the fish (mackerel on the whole rye bread as a spread). Whole rye bread is a typical lunch food, with savory spreads on top as the base of the famous danish "Smørrebrød". the whole wheat bread would be a breakfast item (with the jams/hazelnut chocolate spread) and the biscuits are a snack/used to uh.. "plug you up" so to speak due to the high fiber content. When we receive a ration, you'd pack it in to one of the plastic bags (to keep it dry) before packing it in your bag, and keep the other for trash, taking any smaller items you want as snacks and keeping them in a pocket on your person, such as the chocolate, raisins, jerky and cereal/protein bars. Naturally, each soldier adapts that to their preferences and needs, but that would be a typical way to go with it.
@@azoriusmage Pork products have become fairly common in US breakfasts since the 1920s when the nephew of Sigmund Freud, Edward Bernays, was hired by the US bacon industry to convince Americans that bacon and eggs were a traditional, all-American breakfast. I think Steve views the pates, being pork products, in that light.
@@catspajamas6837 they certainly did that. Bacon, eggs and toast is one of the most prototypical American breakfasts out there. You may not eat it every day, but if you go out to eat for breakfast it's something you will often get as a treat.

Steve will take as much time as is necessary to fully show off his latest find in amazing clear detail and with nothing but good energy going out into the world. He truly is the Bob Ross of our generation and I hope we keep getting these little surprise video drops for years to come. Thank you for showing these to the world.
Currently stationed in Greenland with the USSF. The Danes are very direct, but they are extraordinarily friendly once you realize that. I've been eating Danish food since I've been here, so this is a fantastic and welcome surprise. Great video as always Steve!
USSF in Greenland? Thule? I am curious to what you americans do on our territory. Can you tell a little bit about what USSF is doing in Greenland? PS. Thanks for the kind word about us danes. Some say "direct", some say "rude" 😉
These MREs are available on Ebay and such. There are many collectors and enthusiasts out there, and many military surplus dealers offering them, so it's a lively trade. A not-too-rare-but-still-interesting ration pack can be had for about 10 to 15 €/$/£ already. So if you just want to try if the hobby is for you, the bar is pretty low. My partner and I tried a few from different countries and it was fun, but ultimately not something that we'd spend more money on. It's not like we're making videos out of it.
Hi Mario, thank you for the kind words. I hope you enjoy the two new videos out tonight and see you again shortly with two more. Have a great evening and see ya around
I cannot overstate how much I like watching your videos. I don't have to watch them immediately but I am just glad to be able to watch them when I find the time to do so. Your videos are oddly calming and relaxing and interesting to watch. It's just the perfect mix of emotions.

As a Danish person let me just say that if you ever get the mackerel in tomato sauce again try add Mayo (if possible) and pepper. That's probably the best way to saviour it! Also, love your vids Steve. Keep it up! 👍
Mayo with mackerel in tomato sauce?? Now there's a combination I would never have even considered. An interesting idea, but I'm not sure where you'd get shelf-stable mayonnaise from.
@@DraftySatyr Its a common thing here in Denmark. Its sold as the combination, its called Makrelsalat. We've been eating that stuff since forever. I got it as a kid in the 80s too.

Lots of small little units that are all tradeable and can interact with each other flavor-wise, depending on people's tastes. Kind of a brilliant ration for unit interaction and morale, even in cold conditions. "I'll trade all my fish and meat butter for anything that isn't that!"
@@Defensive_Wounds That's normal Danish lunch, so it's not controversial to the people eating it. I could see why it would be off putting to foreigners though.
Dudes timing is impeccable. Weather has changed getting cold folks are getting sick and down. And here we have a 24 hour pack. Complete boost to yhe spirits
I think it would be cool to see Steve put together a custom 24hr ration made of his favorite individual components. He can choose the best coffee, bread/crackers, drinks and mains from different nations rations.
I'm an American, but I love to see the quality that comes in all the Danish rations that Steve has reviewed. I'm glad someone actually cares about quality, unlike our MREs
Dane here, they are quite good! Only that I have seen being clearly better (that I have seen yet) are the (no surprises here) French rations, those are peak ration as I've seen em on Steves channel and elsewhere!
I'd honestly like to try some of those JSDF (Japanese Self Defense Force) rations. They actually look pretty good to me. BTW, anything is better than the vomelet (veggie omelet). I went through Army Basic Traing (US Army) in 2008 and got stuck with it once. Worst MRE ever. Looked like a cat ate wet cat food and threw it back up and they packaged it 🤢. Glad they discontinued that one. Honestly should be considered a crime against humanity. 😅 I'd actually like to try a lot of different countries military rations to be honest. 😊
Im watching this while dipping toast into a jug of baked beans. Probably a bit worse than what you had to eat but I'm content. I love dipping toast in bean juice 🤣
Gotta love a two-fer day! I'm so glad you're back doing these. Your mellow, positive vibe and infectious enthusiasm is just good for my brain. Thanks for all you do!
Nice review Steve. Danish cold weather 24 hour. You are absolutely right about mixing the ration together. This is what happens in my experience ( 22 years British army) because you don't normally have time to mess around. For me , most of the sultanas/ cranberries & hot sauce would be in the curry before the water. Great to watch. Well done . Keep em coming. Ian.
I bought a new boxed mattress and it had the nicest hiss that lasted a full 5 minutes when unpacking it, and all I could think was "Steve would love this"
Anyone else get super excited when Steve pulled out the Brussels and Farmhouse pates? I know our guy loves a good pate and it’s rad to see his favorites improved!
I've been doing a marathon of Steve's old content since his last upload, very pleasantly surprised to see not one but two new videos today. It's always a great day when Steve uploads! Keep up the fantastic work
One of the best parts about watching these videos is the exposure to different culture's common foods. Prior to finding Steve I'd never heard of things like muesli or pate. Even though in the US we have similar things they go by different names or slightly different presentations. Very enjoyable.
All my years working on a USAR team for earthquake response, we ate MREs all the time. We always enjoyed finding different combinations of items from each to enhance the meals. We always had a box at our Base of Operations with extra pieces of MREs people didn't eat or want. It was fun to see what we could use up .
i choked on my food at that choco spread drop edit! added a lot of character to just have a little quiet plap and then they appear nicely back in your hand to put down. These little editing bits and the amount of chill you bring to your hobby, i would say, make you one of the bob rosses of the internet. always glad to see you doing stuff!
I love to watch the 24 hour rations, an hour of just pure relaxing content. Little fun fact this ration was packed on my birthday February 3rd, which is just a fun little coincidence.
I was literally just saying’ “I wonder if Steve posted a new video yet?”, and boom there it is! Sometimes all you have to do is speak it into existence lol! What a fascinating ration from the Danish! Having a wholesome real food experience with a military ration is so awesome! And it really bolsters the energy levels I feel like more, than having a bunch of food that’s filled to the gills with preservatives.
another great video! and love to see Denmark presented so nicely thank you :D i do love the ryebread hazlenut and jam but want to give you a little cultural reference if intrested. ryebread is a normal lunch bread and the mackerel in tomato sauce is in every home and something almost every dane has tried so brings a great deal of nostalgia. the liver pate's are the same. once again you are doing great!
Pretty much rye bread with everything! Only thing I ever really miss when not in DK is our rye bread! Makrel i tomat på et stykke rugbrød med masser af peber .. Skisme godt!
All 4 my sons, even the 2 not still living at home. "Mom you saw Steve uploaded today right?" I tell you we all love your content! It crosses all the supposed boundaries.... please keep adding when you can!
Steve you are amazing and your content never fails to make me smile. I’m currently serving and love to lay my rations out and “review” them when I’m in the field. I appreciate you sir, salute!
these videos are always so well researched and informative. you can really tell you care a lot about the way these are made and i appreciate seeing these every time you upload them!
Hey-hey Steve! Mackerel in tomato sauce is a traditionally popular spread here in the nordic countries; or at least used to be for the millennial and pre-millennial generation :) I’d be shocked if the fish spread was of poor quality! Looks like you enjoyed it even if they didn’t include butter in this ration (!!!). :) Thanks for another banger of a video.
Everything about this is awesome. The Scandinavians do this stuff so well. The menu is healthy, rich, and diverse with a lot of composability. Even the aesthetics and design are on another level.
Steve has been a reliable friend for years. Meal was so good no need to wait on the hiss report. French had us drooling with Steve and the diorama of excellence.
This channel , and Steve are oddly hypnotic. I find myself watching for hours and just zoning out. Been doing so for years. You're doing the Lords work here Steve , please keep it up.
@sterlingarcher3619 Okay and? This isn't a comment about how their military is used, its a comment on how hearty most european countries feed their soldiers with MREs.
@@buttahXD It's the difference between spending $1M on meals for 10,000 soldiers versus spending $1M for 100,000 soldiers. Combined with not getting deployed means they are not using the MREs, which means they can make even fewer of them. Something like this wouldn't scale up well.
@MTGeomancer Because we'd rather waste money forcing our military to expend as much ammunition as possible, otherwise they'd get less the next time they went out on patrol.
I've never seen someone get so excited about pate as Steve. In all honesty, your work documenting military rations is extraordinary. Thank you for your content Steve!
"For breakfast were gonna be startin' the day off right" Just like the rest of the content here this never gets old. Steve - please never change buddy.
Man this is one of the best looking rations I’ve ever seen. Would love to get my hands on the same exact menu. Not to knock the US by any means because our MREs are a real marvel to me, but the food itself and all packaging engineering aside this danish stuff looks next level
My biggest complaint about US MREs is that every single component tastes like someone stubbed their toe when adding vitamins and minerals. Why they don't just include a separate vitamin capsule with the meal just astounds me, because everything tastes like added vitamins. Way more than the body can use, as we excrete the excess.
The "MHTD" means "Mindst Holdbar Til Dato", literally "Best Before Date". It's a Danish food and health safety thing. It means that the food is best before the indicated date, but can eaten after that date. Provided it's been stored correctly. Also. Steve, you ate the patés wrong. They are supposed to go on the rye bread. Which is why this ration has TWO packets of bread; one for the fish, one for the patés. We Danes also don't put jam on the patés. And they are usually a lunch, or dinner item.
I dont usually comment but Steve, you bring me joy with each video. I love every second. I always love the casual flex of a bicep too 😂💙 Thanks for making my day better !
Those biscuits in the red package are awesome. In the 90'es we had different kinds of cheese spread in the rations. Easy to carry in a pocket in the uniform for a quick snack. They were a bit more durable back then, they look a bit more brittle now. We also had margarine in a toothpaste like tube, they went well with the biscuits also. The Rye-bread Steve used for dinner are good with the Pate's in the ration. Way back we had Faaborg leverpostej (pate) in blue & white tins. Still my favorite Leverpostej after 30 years.
Canned mackrel in tomato sauce is a popular Danish thing. I'ts pretty good and used to be cheap (not anymore). I ate a lot of it when I moved away from my parents home 30 years ago 😀
You can buy that chicken curry main over here in Europe in a normal hiking/sport store chain called Decathlon (it's actually a French chain) for about $10 with a little less sturdy packaging. I just ate that stuff yesterday. Oh the wonders of the French food industry! Just think of the RIER ration... Really mouthwatering.
Been about two years once I've watched one of ya videos Steve and it just makes me smile to see you are as funny, entertaining and simply awesome to watch as you were two years ago, keep up the absolutely amazing work Steve

I'm an American, but I love to see the quality that comes in all the Danish rations that Steve has reviewed. I'm glad someone actually cares about quality, unlike our MREs
And at the start, the nice pictures from the forests and mountains in Denmark... Are they perhaps from Sweden, Norway or Finland? Love from Norway.
@@janhugo HEY Denmark has very nice crop fields!
Truly been a blessed run with the latest uploads. Thanks Steve.
Hey thanks so much for giving this one a look, man! Alright cool, see ya
The spark of joy I get everytime i see one of Steve's videos come around is such a unique, wonderful feeling!
I bet the spark of joy made a nice hiss?! 😁
Thank you for bringing all of us so much joy. My sons and I have started a hobby trying military rations because of your videos.
This is the gold standard for youtube content and ive never even eaten an mre in my life
When the world needed him the most, he came back. Nice!
Nice! Alright cool, see ya
Dang! That MRE almost makes me want to join the Danish army. That all looks better than what I had to eat today. No lie.
Dane here, they are quite good!
Only that I have seen being clearly better (that I have seen yet) are the (no surprises here) French rations, those are peak ration as I've seen em on Steves channel and elsewhere!
Danish mres are truly world class.
I'd honestly like to try some of those JSDF (Japanese Self Defense Force) rations. They actually look pretty good to me. BTW, anything is better than the vomelet (veggie omelet). I went through Army Basic Traing (US Army) in 2008 and got stuck with it once. Worst MRE ever. Looked like a cat ate wet cat food and threw it back up and they packaged it 🤢. Glad they discontinued that one. Honestly should be considered a crime against humanity. 😅 I'd actually like to try a lot of different countries military rations to be honest. 😊
Im watching this while dipping toast into a jug of baked beans. Probably a bit worse than what you had to eat but I'm content. I love dipping toast in bean juice 🤣
@@yips_wayrip
Gotta love a two-fer day! I'm so glad you're back doing these. Your mellow, positive vibe and infectious enthusiasm is just good for my brain. Thanks for all you do!
Nice review Steve. Danish cold weather 24 hour. You are absolutely right about mixing the ration together. This is what happens in my experience ( 22 years British army) because you don't normally have time to mess around.
For me , most of the sultanas/ cranberries & hot sauce would be in the curry before the water.
Great to watch. Well done . Keep em coming.
Ian.
I bought a new boxed mattress and it had the nicest hiss that lasted a full 5 minutes when unpacking it, and all I could think was "Steve would love this"
Anyone else get super excited when Steve pulled out the Brussels and Farmhouse pates? I know our guy loves a good pate and it’s rad to see his favorites improved!
I can't wait to get home and watch this. I am so glad you are still making amazing content for us all. Thank you for your service to mankind.
I've been doing a marathon of Steve's old content since his last upload, very pleasantly surprised to see not one but two new videos today. It's always a great day when Steve uploads! Keep up the fantastic work
im dumb as hell. i saw danish in the title and thought this was just gonna be a mre box full of danishes
Hahahahahaha😂😂 if it makes you feel better I thought the same thing!
I was like, how he gonna stretch that into an hour video?!?!
🤷🏽♂️
🤣☠️
And on top of that you couldn't even find the shift key or caps lock on your keyboard! 🙃😉
Not gonna' lie, that would be really good for my morale, depending on the situation.
One of the best parts about watching these videos is the exposure to different culture's common foods. Prior to finding Steve I'd never heard of things like muesli or pate. Even though in the US we have similar things they go by different names or slightly different presentations. Very enjoyable.
"forsvarets ejendom - må ikke videresælges"
and here we are. 🤣
I sent him one that i was given, so no one bought/sold any thing from that. I even paid the mail expense my self.
These things used to be sold through the official army surplus outlet in Sweden. They sold all sorts of boxes and tents and socks.
All my years working on a USAR team for earthquake response, we ate MREs all the time. We always enjoyed finding different combinations of items from each to enhance the meals. We always had a box at our Base of Operations with extra pieces of MREs people didn't eat or want. It was fun to see what we could use up .
i choked on my food at that choco spread drop edit! added a lot of character to just have a little quiet plap and then they appear nicely back in your hand to put down. These little editing bits and the amount of chill you bring to your hobby, i would say, make you one of the bob rosses of the internet. always glad to see you doing stuff!
Thanks for what you do, Steve. You make the world a better place.
I love to watch the 24 hour rations, an hour of just pure relaxing content. Little fun fact this ration was packed on my birthday February 3rd, which is just a fun little coincidence.
I was literally just saying’ “I wonder if Steve posted a new video yet?”, and boom there it is! Sometimes all you have to do is speak it into existence lol! What a fascinating ration from the Danish! Having a wholesome real food experience with a military ration is so awesome! And it really bolsters the energy levels I feel like more, than having a bunch of food that’s filled to the gills with preservatives.
That happened to me too months ago. I swear Steve is there when we need him most! He is da best ❤
another great video! and love to see Denmark presented so nicely thank you :D i do love the ryebread hazlenut and jam but want to give you a little cultural reference if intrested. ryebread is a normal lunch bread and the mackerel in tomato sauce is in every home and something almost every dane has tried so brings a great deal of nostalgia. the liver pate's are the same.
once again you are doing great!
Not to mention pairing the rye bread with the pâté, which is arguably the archetypical Danish lunch (“leverpostejsmad”).
Pretty much rye bread with everything! Only thing I ever really miss when not in DK is our rye bread!
Makrel i tomat på et stykke rugbrød med masser af peber .. Skisme godt!
I love it when people around the world chime in and give context. One of the amazing parts of the Steve community
@@EsbenSchjerning Ingen mayo? 🤨
Always a good day when Steve uploads.
nice
Im so glad I found your channel, I can watch and listen to you 24/7
I absolutely love the way he says "alright let's get this sat onto a tray"
Especially how he pronounces "tray".
Steve is a GOAT
All 4 my sons, even the 2 not still living at home. "Mom you saw Steve uploaded today right?" I tell you we all love your content! It crosses all the supposed boundaries.... please keep adding when you can!
Glad to see Steve that you're continuing these videos.
You keep doing and I'll keep watching.
🇨🇦👍
Steve you are amazing and your content never fails to make me smile. I’m currently serving and love to lay my rations out and “review” them when I’m in the field. I appreciate you sir, salute!
these videos are always so well researched and informative. you can really tell you care a lot about the way these are made and i appreciate seeing these every time you upload them!
Glad to see videos coming more frequently me and my little boy love to watch
Hey-hey Steve! Mackerel in tomato sauce is a traditionally popular spread here in the nordic countries; or at least used to be for the millennial and pre-millennial generation :) I’d be shocked if the fish spread was of poor quality! Looks like you enjoyed it even if they didn’t include butter in this ration (!!!). :) Thanks for another banger of a video.
Not in finland. Maybe it's that very fine mackerel fat. Everything tastes fishy days after you eat mackerel.
The pate and fish etc are supposed to be fatty enough to replace butter.
Chocolate/nutella on bread is a thing in Denmark.
Everything about this is awesome. The Scandinavians do this stuff so well. The menu is healthy, rich, and diverse with a lot of composability. Even the aesthetics and design are on another level.
Always excited to see a new Steve video. Thank you for all the entertainment over the years!
Hey right on turbo glad you could stop by. Nice!
@@Steve1989MREhope we can see new video of you making another homemade mre special ❤
38:21 Thank you for this legendary blunder; we needed it.
i just caught it, this is my 2nd time watching this, and had to scroll thru the comments see if someone else caught it.
Steve has been a reliable friend for years. Meal was so good no need to wait on the hiss report. French had us drooling with Steve and the diorama of excellence.
These are my favorite videos on UA-cam. They have helped me through some really tough times and I can’t thank Steve enough for that.
Something is so calming about these. He’s like the Bob Ross of MREs I guess.
When the world is in turmoil, Steve delivers.
I’m excited to an unhealthy extent that there’s new Steve content 🎉
This channel , and Steve are oddly hypnotic. I find myself watching for hours and just zoning out. Been doing so for years.
You're doing the Lords work here Steve , please keep it up.
Hands down after all these years. Steve is the most relaxing and intriguing Reviewist. That's right. Reviewing to an art.
That Danish breakfast ration is very fancy and looks delicious! 🇩🇰 Greetings from a fellow Steve born in 1989! 😃
I love these European rations, they’re always so hearty and generous with the portions. Always seem like quality ingredients too.
@sterlingarcher3619spotted the ami
@sterlingarcher3619 Okay and? This isn't a comment about how their military is used, its a comment on how hearty most european countries feed their soldiers with MREs.
@@buttahXD
It's the difference between spending $1M on meals for 10,000 soldiers versus spending $1M for 100,000 soldiers. Combined with not getting deployed means they are not using the MREs, which means they can make even fewer of them. Something like this wouldn't scale up well.
@MTGeomancer Because we'd rather waste money forcing our military to expend as much ammunition as possible, otherwise they'd get less the next time they went out on patrol.
These ones always assume you will be able to boil water. You can hydrate them with cold water in a pinch, especially the cereal.
The Danes know how to throw together a great pack of rations. I want a box for myself now, lol
Look Out for a German one (mre). It is cheaper and have mostly the same products.
I've never seen someone get so excited about pate as Steve. In all honesty, your work documenting military rations is extraordinary. Thank you for your content Steve!
Pate is a also a big deal in Denmark
"For breakfast were gonna be startin' the day off right"
Just like the rest of the content here this never gets old.
Steve - please never change buddy.
Man this is one of the best looking rations I’ve ever seen. Would love to get my hands on the same exact menu. Not to knock the US by any means because our MREs are a real marvel to me, but the food itself and all packaging engineering aside this danish stuff looks next level
My biggest complaint about US MREs is that every single component tastes like someone stubbed their toe when adding vitamins and minerals. Why they don't just include a separate vitamin capsule with the meal just astounds me, because everything tastes like added vitamins. Way more than the body can use, as we excrete the excess.
I'm naming my next garage band "Nutwalker"...
Great to see Steve again. Love his commentary
nice
“Oooo nice lil hiss”. Always love it when you get a hiss Steve!!
Steve, the amount of times you help sooth me to sleep man. And not in an insulting way, I love the content but you just fill me with relaxation.
There's nothing better, than starting your day off with not one, but TWO new Steve1989MREInfo videos. What a time to be alive.
Just what I needed man, thank you Steve
Hey right on dude, you're welcome and thank you too for checking this one out. Hope you have a great night and see ya around!
Steve giving us two pairs of vids in the span of less than a month? It's gonna be a good holiday season ☺
SOMEHOW STILL THE BEST CONTENT ON UA-cam. I WANT STEVE TO READ ME MRE'S AS I DIE.
I never thought a seeing a UA-cam notification could bring such joy but Steve never fails to put a smile on my face. Thank you for being you!
You know it's gonna be a good day when Steve uploads
nice
"that mackerel isn't really moving down, lets give it a good slap."
*Whack*
"Harder"
"What?"
"What?"
Ooh, harder daddy.
Also why did he slap the raspberry drink mix? felt unfathomable aura from that slap
The "MHTD" means "Mindst Holdbar Til Dato", literally "Best Before Date". It's a Danish food and health safety thing.
It means that the food is best before the indicated date, but can eaten after that date. Provided it's been stored correctly.
Also. Steve, you ate the patés wrong. They are supposed to go on the rye bread. Which is why this ration has TWO packets of bread; one for the fish, one for the patés.
We Danes also don't put jam on the patés.
And they are usually a lunch, or dinner item.
I don't think anyone but Steve puts jam on pate 😂
depends on the pate and the jam fig jam on pate foie gras on toast points is a great combo for example there are other good pate/jam combos
i wiuld never have believed tart apple and peanut butter were a good combination but it works great
Yes, well, we Danes never eat jam on pork liver paté.
On biscuits, toasted white bread, and on some desserts? Yes. But not on the patés in this MRE.
So it’s basically the expiration date?
I dont usually comment but Steve, you bring me joy with each video. I love every second.
I always love the casual flex of a bicep too 😂💙
Thanks for making my day better !
Those biscuits in the red package are awesome. In the 90'es we had different kinds of cheese spread in the rations. Easy to carry in a pocket in the uniform for a quick snack. They were a bit more durable back then, they look a bit more brittle now. We also had margarine in a toothpaste like tube, they went well with the biscuits also. The Rye-bread Steve used for dinner are good with the Pate's in the ration.
Way back we had Faaborg leverpostej (pate) in blue & white tins. Still my favorite Leverpostej after 30 years.
Canned mackrel in tomato sauce is a popular Danish thing. I'ts pretty good and used to be cheap (not anymore). I ate a lot of it when I moved away from my parents home 30 years ago 😀
How much is a 3-pack of canned mackarel in tomato sauce these days? I don't live in Denmark anymore.
@@Squiglypig
About $ 4.6 for 3x125 grams + there's less mackerel and more tomato sauce now
@@TheNetsrac a goddamned shame...
You can buy that chicken curry main over here in Europe in a normal hiking/sport store chain called Decathlon (it's actually a French chain) for about $10 with a little less sturdy packaging.
I just ate that stuff yesterday.
Oh the wonders of the French food industry! Just think of the RIER ration... Really mouthwatering.
God bless you Steve for sharing two videos at the time - one to watch on breakfast and one for lunch🤟🏻
Nice!
One of the best if not the best 24h rations I have ever seen I could eat those as proper meals for life they look so good
Watching Steve’s videos helps balance my chi. Great job Steve keep up the great work!
Been about two years once I've watched one of ya videos Steve and it just makes me smile to see you are as funny, entertaining and simply awesome to watch as you were two years ago, keep up the absolutely amazing work Steve
We went all that time with no videos, assuming some nasty old ration had finally killed him. And now Steve's putting out content every couple of weeks. You love to see it.
He giveth and he can taketh away. He vanishes for weeks, months, once I think close to a year, then he drops like 3 videos in one hour 🥹
@@restitvtororbis5330It's usually two videos at once. Then he's gone again for a month or two. But prior to this past summer, he was MIA since sometime in 2022.
Nice!
@@restitvtororbis5330drops when we least expect it
He really should spread the uploads out a bit would get him more views
"These are very sturdy, check them out"
*Snap*
"Oh"
That got me XD
These vids are gold. I ration my viewing to 3 sessions: breakfast; lunch and dinner
Thank you Steve! My boys and I really enjoy watching you together! It's a tradition now! 😃
