Hey Steve, I'm finally here to show my appreciation for the channel in the comments! Never thought I'd enjoy someone watching military food so much! Keep it up and stay healthy!
Hey thanks dude! Been a cool hobby for a long time now, and it's still surreal to witness how much people enjoy watching some dude eat rations. Will do and take care!
So amazing that you’re able to get your hands on current-year MREs! I didn’t even get anything less than two or three years old when I was IN the military! I hope the viewers appreciate how rare this seemingly “common” MRE is. And I’m very curious about the new outer bag. First REAL change in the outer packaging pretty much ever!
I stocked up for hurricane season this year, in part due to the great educational content from this channel. And you're not kidding. 1 scored 1 case of 2023, everything else I could get or even find was all 2020-2022.
So glad to see Steve is such tumultuous times, as unchanged as ever. Steve, you really are a beacon to many of us. In an ever changing world, you act as a rock that we all comfortably cling to, even if for just a few minutes.

honestly, Steve you're a really thoughtful guy, uploading something people of all different types can enjoy on a day that is very divisive and stressful. 🙏
I am so glad you posted a video. My stress level today is through the roof! Theres nothing like relaxing watching you do your thing. Thank you for the much needed break!
Radioactive lemon-lime always picked my mood up out in the field, that turbo green puts a smile on my face and reminds me of Ecto-Coolers back in the day, little things in the field matter :)
Hey too cool I'm glad you could stop by and give this one a look. Livin it up down here in Florida - hoping it cools off soon because I want to go camping! Hope you can get some good sleep and take care. Will be back again soon with another review - it's an Estonian ration.
@@Steve1989MREOh wow thank you for the reply, look forward to watching your next video, maybe another one while you go camping. The wife just said she wishes it was hot here and not raining lol. Catch you soon. ‘NICE’
I was watching some of your old school videos. I'm glad there are so many modern MRE to review around the world. I was always concerned when you ate the very old rations in the early videos. But I guess that was what was needed to establish your channel. Enjoy the modern MREs. You really earned it.
I watch your Mre pizza slice video every time I eat jalapeño chettos when you eat your Italian bread sticks with the jalapeño cheese spread . You make my day with every upload . Love from Canada. I miss the old peanut butter soldier fuel bars in our mre
About the lack of coffee, I’ve been in the military for 10 years. About 1/4 of my unit likes coffee, and 1/2 likes energy drinks (some overlap between them.) The other 1/2 either likes nicotine in various forms or just sugary drinks. Over the last 2 deployments even less than 1/4 actually enjoyed MRE’s. Most of us packed energy drinks, preworkout, or nicotine to last us the whole trip. It’s an interesting dichotomy.
@@4R8YnTH3CH33F Which is still 1/4th of his unit that uses it. Many soldiers don’t even get to use their FRH and have to eat it cold because of hurry up and wait. Yet MREs are still packaged with FRHs despite being many times more expensive.
When I walk through a flock of geese at the pond I HiSssSSsss at them instead of saying "excuse me" cuz they hiss at me like snakes with wings sometimes.
3:23 This was the most chipper, upbeat pronunciation of "radioactive toxic waste" since some luckless paper-pusher had to put a positive spin on Chernobyl.
You're such a goober, Steve. I love what you're doing. I've never served but have family who have. You make me feel like I could maybe imagine what a day in the life might be like. Thanks man!
Steve thank you for being here tonight. It’s late / early the next day here and all I will say is I really hope they bring back coffee to the MRE’s. I’m glad I had a respite and fallback to this evening.
Not sure I've ever heard someone able to describe so well and accurately how food can taste and feel like. English is not my native language, and it's always a delight to hear Steve's vocabulary. Thanks for all the (nice!) content)
In a World seemingly gone mad and hysteria, pandemonium, hyperbole and sensationalism rife, Steve delivers another, flawless, comfortably familiar piece of escapism. Never change Steve....I mean, I know your videos are always identical in their method, but that is what makes you stand alone in the Internet video genre, well and they have you in them....and nice food.... Thank you dude.
Nice!!! I remember this one fondly, the old menu variant from my time I remember it occasionally had the original chocolate powerbar-thing in it (they seemed to randomize some of the components because they weren't always the same lol), all around a good package over the years.
Didn't expect to see you here. 😂 "USUALLY I DON'T SMOKE THE CIGARETTES, BUT WHEN I DO - THEY ARE AT LEAST 40 YEARS OLD". (c) from some of his old videos..
Steve!! There's someone on tiktok pretending to be you, I can't report them unless you have an official tiktok account, but I figured I'd try to let you know all the same since you're my comfort UA-camr and you deserve recognition for the time and effort you put into your videos
I would normally be all like "Aw, he didn't try to unroll the bread..." but he's always so happy about eating it I can't get upset. He's such a sweetheart.
I like hearing, "Let's get that out onto a tray. Nice."😎👍💯 I hope you do an old MRE whenever you can. Seeing what MRE from the old days always really peaks my interest.
Steve I wanted to thank you for different circumstances than last week, I joked about your videos being a wedding gift for me and my wife, this week you're bringing us joy in times of sadness, we had to put my best friend Zeke (my dog of 7 years) to sleep today, so I wanted to let you know that your videos bring joy especially when we need it the most, thank you.
Watching your videos several years ago is what got me back into drinking coffee. I'd had to cut it out because of my health. You just made it look so good. Now, I have one giant cup after dinner in the den while I watch Doctor Who episodes and smoke.
Thank the Gods above. THIS is the PERFECT salve for an exhausted soul, tired of the seemingless endless torrent of poltical mud-slinging and nation-dividing ideologies. We should all just chill out and prepare an MRE, no matter HOW crappy it might be. Many thanks for the distraction, Steve! We sure do need it right now! ☮

It’s an interesting dichotomy.
I’m still puzzled why they decided to remove the coffee. Surely can’t be cost savings because I belive the crushed red peppers are new too.
@@robertoroberto9798 Because only a 1/4 of his unit was even drinking it, weren't you listening?
@@4R8YnTH3CH33F Which is still 1/4th of his unit that uses it. Many soldiers don’t even get to use their FRH and have to eat it cold because of hurry up and wait. Yet MREs are still packaged with FRHs despite being many times more expensive.
I remember the UK ration packs having tea coffee and some sort of dehydrated drink (usually orange or lemon) hot chocolate was fairly common too
Maybe they’ll freeze dry monster and put a can of grizzly in the newer MREs. Jk of course but it’s a real shame they’re not putting coffee in them.
I've followed Steve since I was like 14. I'm in my mid twenties now and love him all the same. He is what America needs.
Thank you for your service, Steve. The service of making consistently comforting videos.
Can we petition to have them changed to MRS? Meal, Ready for Steve.
Someone should make a bib with that on it and send it to him to use in videos
Instead of a use by date, you have to wait 50-150 years
nice
thank you for so many videos in less than a week. lets get this out on a tray is such a blessing today.
PERFECT timing. I can't watch the news anymore!!!
No news is good news.

I needed a break too
Same here. I was watching and thought I need to watch something else.
