    I know the community is improving but Cameron and Izzy are by far the most wholesome vets on UA-cam. They explain their experiences in a way that those new to the military world will understand yet keep it entertaining enough to retain viewers who understand it all. On top of that preaching the benefits of taking care of each other and mental health. True icons.

    I have to say: I love this series. Please never get rid of it. My wife and I like to keep prepared for any eventuality and watching these videos has helped immensely. I tried an MRE Star (Beef Stew, go figure) just to see if its tolerable, learn to cook it, etc. and you guys definitely made it so much easier for me when it comes to choosing what I put in my go-bag.
    I never miss a video from this channel because its entertaining but also educational.
    You guys are awesome! Keep up the great work!

    I remember MRE chili being not great but not bad, but a cup of Wendy's chili is definitely tastier. The vegetarian MRE chili seemed to depend on if you got a good batch or not. The first time I tried it, the MREs were fresh with no metallic taste and weren't bad with some black pepper and Tabasco sauce. The second time I tried the vegetarian chili, the MREs must have been stored improperly because it did have that metallic taste and was inedible, IMO. Anyway good video guys. 🙂

    Peanut butter on one, nacho cheese in the other
