saw just 1 of those tropical hershey's chocolate bars with red text on ebay for $170 and it wasn't in as good of shape as these, just to give you all some idea.
Hey everybody, I hope you all are doing well and if celebrated, have some plans lined up for Thanksgiving day with family and friends. Tonight I am putting out this WW2 ration, and a 2018 US Meal Cold Weather. A little something new and old. This particular one was very special and one of my personal favorites as these usually degrade into something unrecognizable by this point in time. My friend BTemple reviewed this same ration and his was a great representation of how all of these will look eventually as time goes on. ua-cam.com/video/AAfqpn4GolA/v-deo.html As for the remaining components, as much as I enjoyed joking about eating them all, they are going to be given to a family member to re-sell to cover some of their bills. Well anyway, I hope you all enjoy the review and currently I have one more ready to release and another still being edited so stay tuned. Happy Thanksgiving to you all and I hope you have a great evening!
I appreciate so sincerely that Steve understands the monetary value of the items he is examining but at the same time understands the historical value of the items he is examining. It's not JUST a 70 dollar chocolate bar to be exploited for a monetary gain but he demonstrates WHY it is valued so highly. The rarity and historical significance is what makes it so valuable. And these amazing videos can ONLY increase the value yet he consumes these food items this to his own detriment financially. He doesn't seem to exploit collectors, he IS a collector. He doesn't seem to fool experts with half assed eBay listings to only scrape a buck from a history buff, he IS an expert who appreciates the authenticity and significance of the product. This channel is literally the antithesis to most channels on UA-cam boasting thier war time experience but shilling a 2 dollar """survival""" kit selling for 80 dollars because of a sponsorship or a gun channel shilling a 3000 dollar AR-15 because they are true weapons experts. Steve really is an expert and a true aficionado of military history and products.
With all the stated being true, Steve is humble and does not toot his own horn or pat his own back as he goes about his business. Glad you are able to do that for him!
Steve eating old nasty food is like the crashes in NASCAR. Like, outsiders might think that's all we're here for, but true fans understand that's just the cherry on top
And several dozen collectors just threatened to hunt Steve down and eat him to be able to eat what he ate, if only at one remove. And some screamed because he's gonna eat it and not sell it.
I can’t believe how this channel has grown! I showed my American History students a video of you eating an old WWII ration, if my memory serves, about three years ago. I remember you had a good following, but it’s so awesome to see you are almost at 1 million!! Thank you for teaching History! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
_cracking open a can of rancid pemmican and the resulting depressurization fires a wad of separated fat onto the camera lens_ Steve: *ＮＩＣＥ ＨＩＳＳ* never change
Awesome video! The condition is stunning.. that's pure History right there! I find remains of WW2 rations pretty often with my Metal Detector, it's cool to see what they looked like when they were still packed! Thanks for sharing, amazing to see this time capsule being opened! Gr Nick
Exactly what I did. Phone notified me. Was busy finishing up my turkey brine and then I poured a glass of bourbon and fired up the ps4 and now watching on my 55" tv
This dude is eating hundreds of dollars of MRE chocolate bars, biscuits and malt-milk tablets. If this ain’t the pinnacle of flexing, I don’t know what is.
STEVE HAS BLESSED US WITH A NEW VIDEO! I'm thankful for you this Thanksgiving. Best content creator on UA-cam hands down man. Edit: Also, just noticed it's a USCG. I served 6 years with them. NICE.
@RC Kens Man they really do. I just got off of a late shift, but it makes me feel great to come home, relax and watch some MRE's be opened by the man himself.
I've had several of these and it really showed how storage is important. My pemmican cans I removed the bottoms and cleaned them out. I display them when we do our shows. As a member of the Airmans Preservation Society I specialize in the survival gear including rations. And really appreciate Steve doing these videos as there is very little shown from the past. So if your kicking around any Air shows along the mid-Atlantic area hunt us down. Keep 'em Flying!
Me too, I used to be great at taking apart MREs and dispersing throughout my ACU’s million pockets lol. Could usually carry 2 MREs that way without needing a pack.
Steve's channel may just be the finest example of what UA-cam should be. I am not sure what is better his knowledge of the subject his channel is about or the great way he makes the videos. He presents these items better than anybody else that does these types of videos.
@@zainiikhwan9405 that's a good point but. just doing a broad idea of what the individual item would go for isn't giving away the whole MRE. It's just fun to see how much (it) is.
Normal person: "I think I'll have a nice burger tonight. Maybe cheeseburger." Steve: "Let's get that onto a tray. Nice! Ok, lets start off with these 78 year old biscuits."
11:57 “I said it a millions times, my apologies” That was the most sincere apology a youtube creator has ever uttered! Don’t you dare apologize, we are learning from you. Repetition is good!
Steve doing North Korean rations *Opens up box* "Wow, check out this piece of cardboard, it smells air'y and the texture is great, nice!" "Whoa, check out this frozen Jaguar heart! Might be a doozy, but.." *First bite* "Yep, its rancid, but, I might need another bite.."
sanfran dartgun why is this so accurate. “The translation says to spew bodily waste in bag and store for later... Lets give that a try...A bit salty, but Nice.”
Absolutely love your channel, my husband is ex british army and has always told me about the mres from 1986-1996 would love to see some of these,.. rosebud all the way in little new zealand
this so beautiful, man. wonderfully preserved, and you did a great job documenting it all. wow!! i want to try a fresh hershey’s tropical bar at this rate, my goodness. im willing to spend a lot on one of em.
If you didn't told & showed us it's a ration from 1945, i would have said : Wow pretty nice looking replica. This one is in such a perfect condition ! You're either a really lucky guy OR you time travel without telling us about it. **Grab tinfoil hat** Yeah it's probably only luck. Thanks for sharing this piece of history with us :)
That would be great. Did you ever see Ian and Karl try to eat an 2007 Russian MRE? ua-cam.com/video/t6R8848va00/v-deo.html They were kinda out of their league and would have needed Steves expertise (and iron stomach)
11:05 Steve takes a bite of the Hershey's Tropical Bar and a crumb falls on his tray, his face for a second is like "Hey, that crumble cost me 5 bucks." Seeing you crunch on the malted milk tablets gave me an idea. Ever see that cooking UA-cam show, I think it's called Bon Appétit and there's different show too, they try to make popular products from scratch. Like gourmet skittles, or cheetoes, KFC's famous recipe, anything. Anyway they try to reverse engineer the recipe if it's not available. I'm sure those people could reproduce these forgotten delicious candies for all to enjoy(especially those malted tablets:)
That gave me a good chuckle. If there is a way to have an identical replication of those malted milk tablets that would be simply amazing. As much as I enjoyed joking about eating the remaining packs, they will be sold. I'd love to save them all for my display, but a family member needs some money to pay some bills so that is how this one will be allocated in the end. I get to keep the tin though.
@@Steve1989MRE absolutely, you do a good thing documenting on here, now those Military treats will go on to the next collector to appreciate. Keep it up!
Hello, do you have a personal relationship with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? The Son of God. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans 10:9
My best friend and I recently discovered your channel and we are both hooked...fully. We binge watch your videos daily. Your ability to describe the taste and textures of the rations are amazing. It makes is almost like I can taste it myself. And your care and respect for the history of the rations is impeccable..Thank you for making the world a more interesting and fun place to be bro. Keep up the good work and I cant wait to get my hoodie...Nice..lol.
What a wonderful hobby this guy has got. So nice he is documenting this on UA-cam for generations to come. These things want last. No matter how well they are preserve now.
I live in Dothan Alabama about an hour away we had a lot of damage so I could imagine , I haven’t been down there since the storm I have donated a lot of items , I heard people were living in tents right now but soon FEMA would have trailers down there I hope that’s true
Every time I say "All right" a certain way, I catch myself saying, "Let's get this out on a tray...." And of course, nobody knows what the hell I'm talking about. So, thanks for that, man.
What kind of storage conditions are at play when you see these rations almost 8 decades old being almost perfectly preserved? Are the majority of the good rations we see on this channel from forgotten warehouses and storage units that have cool dry temperatures and someone stumbles upon them? It always fascinates me as to where these are coming from and how perfect storage factors can stay consistent for over 70 years.
Pretty sure some dude back there got an idea to keep it stored in perfect condition for future documentation. Or it just some MRE hunter time travelling and keep all this relic save......
One that's been sitting in a basement in Maine all these years is going to be in much better shape than one that's been on a ship in the Gulf of Mexico all that time.
This is the first vid I've watched on this channel. Ever since I was a kid who loved survivalist stuff and always carried a "survival kit in a sardine can" on hikes and family camping trips, I've likes this kinda thing. I remember I once read some book about being adrift at sea on a WW2 life raft, and I distinctly remember the mention of the hard chocolate as a ration, and also the C rations iirc. Fascinating to me, right down to the way it's all packaged, and imagining the manufacturing and logistics organizing it all. Speaking of things that are "wholesome" like Steve was saying the ingredients were in the past, this channel is certainly full of authentic wholesome content that I'm gonna have to binge lol.
Interesting to see pemmican in a 20th Century ration. Traditionally not made with vegetable fat. Should have been beef or bison tallow, which is NOT the usual fat, but comes from a particular part of the animal. Tallow and pulverized dried meat is the basic recipe. Lasts for a long time at room temp. The addition of dried fruits and nuts makes it less shelf life stable.
@Mike HI think, strictly speaking, it just needs to be ground up stuff with fat. Meat is just the norm (and wiser) ingredient. I wonder if it has to do with hydration.
You know Steve kinda reminds me of the mechanic you can do on MGS3, where you can eat anything and everything. You can ask Para-Medic if its horrible but the game allows you to eat it anyways. Steve knows its rancid but he proceeds to do it anyways. That's pretty N I C E if you ask me
This has been one of my favourite. More so because of how excited and happy you were to find how good a condition it was in. Made it all the more enjoyable to watch!
Haha! You're like a kid with these malted milk tablets. I love that. Man... I wish I could send you an old (well preserved) french ration just to see your happy face. The moment I found one, you will get it. Love & kisses.
Nothing like some old and preserved ration candy to make me happy.If you ever find a vintage French ration for me to review, I would gladly give it a shot! That would be something quite different and amazing to see.
I'm so glad I stumbled on your this page, this is wonderful content and I enjoy the history that comes along with it. Subscribing asap. Thank you and keep up the great work! 😊
Steve, did you say there are websites where you can buy reproduction vintage rations? Anyway you can post the link to some of those sites? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance
Hey Michael! Here are some links for you man. I especially love Hogan's K rat repros. His site is old school ya gotta email him. www.angelfire.com/nc/stug/ reprorations.com/ Hope this helps - and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Steve1989MREInfo Steve I have some really old rations I want to send you that I can’t find anywhere on the internet. I looked thru all your videos any you don’t have a single one.
@@prestonheck Hey that is always an intriguing offer! My shipping info is: Steve1989 3616 Harden Blvd #360 Lakeland, FL 33803 What kind of rations do you have? They could certainly be something I could review, ya never know!
Your negative pressure, air purifying respirator will protect you better when you are clean shaven. Facial hair will interrupt the seal and allow your little botu-buddies to slip inside the mask, by-passing the filters. After being cooped up in the Pemmican Inn for over 70 years they may be in the mood to play, and it sounds like you know how that can go. Stay as safe as you can, really enjoy these videos. I am glad you make the effort to document this information and share your insight into an important and interesting part of history that is essentially passed over by the very “Historians” who should be preserving it.
10:52 "Wow, I've never had a Hersey's Tropical bar that fresh," he said, eating a 70 year-old chocolate bar.
Poor man, someone go to the supermarket and buy him a dozen of Hersey chocolate bars.
what supermarket has Hershey's Tropical bar's ?
lol nothings fresh like a crunchy chocolate bar lol
Nobody finna eat some old chocolate bar
Bloom on chocolate is still edible
Steve having romantic dinner:
*Slams perfectly preserved WWII chocolate on a tray*
Nice.
Lol, dude 🤣👌so good!!
I literally LOL!
If I had a date that went like that, I’d be marrying them the next day.
Nice hiss
I would immediately ask them to marry me
The fact that he knows how rare a certain colour of text on a 70-year-old chocolate bar is is astonishing.
Like a good friend once said
"Astonishing"
@johnny rotten are you into MREs?
Makes me think of those "pickers" guys with their obscure knowledge
Its common knowledge of you are into the genré
xkcd 915
saw just 1 of those tropical hershey's chocolate bars with red text on ebay for $170 and it wasn't in as good of shape as these, just to give you all some idea.
Steve's like an archaeologist who eats what he finds!!
THAT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!!!!!
He would probably go crazy for that bread that one archaeologist made from thousands year old yeast they pulled from clay bakers containers in egypt.
That’s exactly what he is.
Keep him away from pyramids
Steve finds an ancient mummy.
Let’s get him out on a tray.
Nice.
egyptologist: what the hell are you doing, Steve?
Hey everybody, I hope you all are doing well and if celebrated, have some plans lined up for Thanksgiving day with family and friends. Tonight I am putting out this WW2 ration, and a 2018 US Meal Cold Weather. A little something new and old. This particular one was very special and one of my personal favorites as these usually degrade into something unrecognizable by this point in time. My friend BTemple reviewed this same ration and his was a great representation of how all of these will look eventually as time goes on. ua-cam.com/video/AAfqpn4GolA/v-deo.html

Happy Thanksgiving to you all and I hope you have a great evening!
This Thanksgiving I am thankful that we have a new Steve1989MREInfo video.
First
happy thanksgiving steve.
Steve, when can we see you eat some regular food? How about a freshly grilled steak?
Nice!
If Steve had some coffee instant to go with that, he would have had a spiritual moment. .
Ciggs!
Throw in a smoke and you have a Unicorn experience.
Oh god lol
@SkrIbbLe Type 2 sprayed
that with some WWII cocoa, to make a nice cup of moccacino
I have learned from your videos, if Steve says don't eat it, DO NOT EAT it!!!
and if he says to eat it, you probably still shouldn't eat it
@@GooseMcBruce 👍🤣👍
@@GooseMcBruce And if he says "it's pretty good", then you know that it tastes like diarrhea.
He has an iron gut
@@eldenboi8354 Iron would not last long.. I'm guessing some sort of kevlar coated titanium alloy.
Interviewer: “It says here that you haven’t had a job in a long time, how have you made your living?”
Steve: “I eat 75 year old rations”
"Hey Steve have you been eating healthy?" His dad, probably
And by God, we love him for it
Interviewer: “You’re hired!”
Steve: “Nice!”
“If these weren’t worth so much I’d eat them all... actually I might eat them all... no I probably shouldn’t.. but I probably will”
I loved that too, he is so cute.
He waited for us to give him a green light
me thinking to eat or not to eat all the pizza rolls
Lol
Keep your caviar. I have rare chocolates and malted milks.
When Steve whips out the gas mask, you know shit just got real.
Steve faces death with a calming smile but... If death grins back, the gas mask and gloves come on.
I appreciate so sincerely that Steve understands the monetary value of the items he is examining but at the same time understands the historical value of the items he is examining.
It's not JUST a 70 dollar chocolate bar to be exploited for a monetary gain but he demonstrates WHY it is valued so highly. The rarity and historical significance is what makes it so valuable. And these amazing videos can ONLY increase the value yet he consumes these food items this to his own detriment financially.
He doesn't seem to exploit collectors, he IS a collector. He doesn't seem to fool experts with half assed eBay listings to only scrape a buck from a history buff, he IS an expert who appreciates the authenticity and significance of the product.
This channel is literally the antithesis to most channels on UA-cam boasting thier war time experience but shilling a 2 dollar """survival""" kit selling for 80 dollars because of a sponsorship or a gun channel shilling a 3000 dollar AR-15 because they are true weapons experts.

With all the stated being true, Steve is humble and does not toot his own horn or pat his own back as he goes about his business. Glad you are able to do that for him!
"I'm probably gonna eat all of these... Nah, I shouldn't. But, I probably will." I love that! :D
Steve eating old nasty food is like the crashes in NASCAR. Like, outsiders might think that's all we're here for, but true fans understand that's just the cherry on top
The way you can see his excitement too when he said it lol
Made me giggle 😁
He's like Anakin Skywalker
And several dozen collectors just threatened to hunt Steve down and eat him to be able to eat what he ate, if only at one remove. And some screamed because he's gonna eat it and not sell it.

I LOVE all WW2 🤘🏻
I do
Britsh infantry Boer. War combat ration 1899 - 1902 and US. Civil War hard tack are the oldest two I have found him eat so far.
I think I just have a fascination of efficient packaging.
Same, what I like most about the videos is seen how perfectly acommodated and packed is everything in the little cans.

Wtf is autistic about it?
military ambient music tho
Wow. That can sat on a shelf during all the days of my mom's life. Truly humbling.
Every time he says “Let’s get this out onto a tray - Nice!” I chuckle a bit.
11:05 Steve takes a bite of the Hershey's Tropical Bar and a crumb falls on his tray, his face for a second is like "Hey, that crumble cost me 5 bucks."
Seeing you crunch on the malted milk tablets gave me an idea. Ever see that cooking UA-cam show, I think it's called Bon Appétit and there's different show too, they try to make popular products from scratch. Like gourmet skittles, or cheetoes, KFC's famous recipe, anything. Anyway they try to reverse engineer the recipe if it's not available. I'm sure those people could reproduce these forgotten delicious candies for all to enjoy(especially those malted tablets:)
That gave me a good chuckle.
If there is a way to have an identical replication of those malted milk tablets that would be simply amazing.
As much as I enjoyed joking about eating the remaining packs, they will be sold. I'd love to save them all for my display, but a family member needs some money to pay some bills so that is how this one will be allocated in the end. I get to keep the tin though.
@@Steve1989MRE absolutely, you do a good thing documenting on here, now those Military treats will go on to the next collector to appreciate. Keep it up!
Steve, thank you for the new uploads!! I always look forward to them!
All hail the MRE God, one of the many War Gods Of history, for he has blessed us with a video
If anyone deserves 1 million subs it’s Steve
He deserves two. And he got em.
I like how “nice hiss” has turned into a meme. Nice..
A Trademark lmao look at his descriptions
Nice
Antonio Possan nice
...hiss
this is so amazing... 1945, older than my dad.... but look at the preservation quality!
It was truly an incredible find and one to remember.

Quick question. How will you preserve them now that they're in your possession?
“Puts poop in ziplock bag”
My best friend and I recently discovered your channel and we are both hooked...fully. We binge watch your videos daily. Your ability to describe the taste and textures of the rations are amazing. It makes is almost like I can taste it myself. And your care and respect for the history of the rations is impeccable..Thank you for making the world a more interesting and fun place to be bro. Keep up the good work and I cant wait to get my hoodie...Nice..lol.
What a wonderful hobby this guy has got. So nice he is documenting this on UA-cam for generations to come. These things want last. No matter how well they are preserve now.
Love your videos, I’m from Panama City, Florida I have been eating a lot of MRE’s because hurricane Michael
Hey stunmi, I hope you didn't sustain too much damage from that storm. At least you got to try out some MREs!
Lost somethings but better off then other family’s around just keeping my head up, thanks for the videos
stunmi I’ve been there before and I’m sad to here that Halle rd to you
stunmi got any left? do a review.
I live in Dothan Alabama about an hour away we had a lot of damage so I could imagine , I haven’t been down there since the storm I have donated a lot of items , I heard people were living in tents right now but soon FEMA would have trailers down there I hope that’s true
I’ve been bingeing on your videos for the first time today! Your timing is impeccable!!
That's some seriously decent timing!
That's what I did too when I stumbled into this channel. Like a week straight of binging
MrKneller - same
classic Steve at around 13:10 - I won't, i probably will, no i really shouldn't, maybe i will.
Every time I say "All right" a certain way, I catch myself saying, "Let's get this out on a tray...." And of course, nobody knows what the hell I'm talking about. So, thanks for that, man.
Biscuits are bleachy and stale. (Continues to take a bite) but their actually pretty good😆 you got me there bro😂
Steve, you speak of botulism as though you have an intimate personal experience with it...
He does
well.. he does :o
he has ahahah, he talked about it I think, or I read it somewhere, can't remember
Olivier Déry i think it’s E. coli he got, from a badly stored modern ration ironically. But yeah he almost died it’s why he’s so careful now
Others go droopy eyed off MDMA monthly, Steve goes droopy eyed off botulism.
What kind of storage conditions are at play when you see these rations almost 8 decades old being almost perfectly preserved? Are the majority of the good rations we see on this channel from forgotten warehouses and storage units that have cool dry temperatures and someone stumbles upon them? It always fascinates me as to where these are coming from and how perfect storage factors can stay consistent for over 70 years.
Pretty sure some dude back there got an idea to keep it stored in perfect condition for future documentation. Or it just some MRE hunter time travelling and keep all this relic save......
Bunkers probably I’d imagine. Cool, dark, and dry.
One that's been sitting in a basement in Maine all these years is going to be in much better shape than one that's been on a ship in the Gulf of Mexico all that time.
Freezing maybe? Or some kind of insulated container that keeps a specific temperature
Double upload? 🇳 🇮 🇨 🇪

Emojis are the devil
This is the first vid I've watched on this channel. Ever since I was a kid who loved survivalist stuff and always carried a "survival kit in a sardine can" on hikes and family camping trips, I've likes this kinda thing. I remember I once read some book about being adrift at sea on a WW2 life raft, and I distinctly remember the mention of the hard chocolate as a ration, and also the C rations iirc. Fascinating to me, right down to the way it's all packaged, and imagining the manufacturing and logistics organizing it all. Speaking of things that are "wholesome" like Steve was saying the ingredients were in the past, this channel is certainly full of authentic wholesome content that I'm gonna have to binge lol.
The dislikes are from people who got botulism.
@Richard Stephens Amateurs
Mkay let’s get this new video out onto a trey.
*NICE*
Got that lingo down
Read this as he was saying it..
*in my mind screaming* THANK YOU FOR POSTING A NEW VIDEO STEVE!!!! :)
Steve meets girl: "I wanna experience a special dinner with you"
Opens a 1945 Ration for two! ROMANTIC!
As a ww2 collector myself, I realize how hard it must be for you to open or damage the packaging on some of these things
Wow what a find, night and day from BTemple's sample. Thanks for sharing your passion with us.
Interesting to see pemmican in a 20th Century ration. Traditionally not made with vegetable fat. Should have been beef or bison tallow, which is NOT the usual fat, but comes from a particular part of the animal. Tallow and pulverized dried meat is the basic recipe. Lasts for a long time at room temp. The addition of dried fruits and nuts makes it less shelf life stable.
@Mike HI think, strictly speaking, it just needs to be ground up stuff with fat. Meat is just the norm (and wiser) ingredient. I wonder if it has to do with hydration.
I’m from ft worth too ✌🏻

Kermy wurmy...!
@@Steve1989MRE 😂😂😂😂
You know Steve kinda reminds me of the mechanic you can do on MGS3, where you can eat anything and everything.
You can ask Para-Medic if its horrible but the game allows you to eat it anyways. Steve knows its rancid but he proceeds to do it anyways.
That's pretty N I C E if you ask me
This has been one of my favourite. More so because of how excited and happy you were to find how good a condition it was in. Made it all the more enjoyable to watch!
Dear Steve, thanks for your Channel. i love to look at these old ration videos. Very interesting. Greetings from Germany. 👋
That's in amazing shape! Once again, great stuff, Steve!
It really was a sight to behold, Mickey.
Thanks for checking this one out man!
Haha! You're like a kid with these malted milk tablets. I love that.
Man... I wish I could send you an old (well preserved) french ration just to see your happy face.
The moment I found one, you will get it.
Love & kisses.
Nothing like some old and preserved ration candy to make me happy.If you ever find a vintage French ration for me to review, I would gladly give it a shot! That would be something quite different and amazing to see.
I'm so glad I stumbled on your this page, this is wonderful content and I enjoy the history that comes along with it. Subscribing asap. Thank you and keep up the great work! 😊
Thanks so much. Greatly appreciate you taking us back in time and as usual we always learn something new. Thanks
I haven't watched these in a while and I almost forgot how wonderfully enthusiastic (without any hysteria) Steve is - at times, he's positively giddy!
Amazing Preservation!!! Happy Thanksgiving ,thanks for your videos Steve!
Steve, did you say there are websites where you can buy reproduction vintage rations? Anyway you can post the link to some of those sites? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance
Hey Michael!
Here are some links for you man. I especially love Hogan's K rat repros. His site is old school ya gotta email him.

AWESOME OPENING. THANKS STEVE. LOVE THE PRECAUTIONS ON THE TIN CAN, AND THE INITIAL MINI EXPLOSION ON OPENING...
Your negative pressure, air purifying respirator will protect you better when you are clean shaven. Facial hair will interrupt the seal and allow your little botu-buddies to slip inside the mask, by-passing the filters. After being cooped up in the Pemmican Inn for over 70 years they may be in the mood to play, and it sounds like you know how that can go. Stay as safe as you can, really enjoy these videos. I am glad you make the effort to document this information and share your insight into an important and interesting part of history that is essentially passed over by the very “Historians” who should be preserving it.
