I loved your story about the pugle sticks. I learnt from you what the reasoning behind fighting with them is. It never occurred to me that it was a "safer" way to practice fighting with your gun. I always used to wonder if it was just a fun way of working off steam without really hurting each other. The cold weather mres look to be pretty amazing, everything in there looked very tasty. And may I thank you for all the wonderful things the US exports, especially M&Ms! Great video as always :)
Glad it was helpful! It was certainly exhausting, especially when you consider that we fought in the sand. I have seen videos of pugil stick matches that are on the grass or in a 'ring' with tread-like flooring. TFW, as always, Christine!
There's a rusted out bridge where I grew up, and we cut the ends off of pool noodles and zip tied them to the end of sticks, one friend would get one one side of an i-beam and one on another, and sprint towards the middle to joust each other off the bridge into the river below. The chance of fatal error was so high but man, being a dumb kid was the greatest.
I'm happy to hear that I'm not the only one. It seemed like most all my fellow Marines just loved the Tabasco sauce when I was active duty. It's just never been something I've cared for. TFW!
@@paulsworld2287Freedom of speech… Everyone is entitled to their own opinion! “Respect your elders” and show this man the great amount of respect he and his right to his own opinion deserve! And not everyone likes Tobacco sauce. We all have and are entitled to our own tastebuds. Hence why nothing is ever liked by all. *This much is common sense* for anyone who’s got any, anyhow…
@@MeAncientlol I have never been a fan of the taste of tobacco sauce… Haven’t tried it recently, but no need to as it doesn’t matter. Spicy stuff is more for those who enjoy it… Acquired taste. But is good for making one feel full faster- or so I have been told. I can say one thing though; I think I’d sooner eat a meal with tobacco sauce before I’d eat a raw potato- like I watched my father do once, used some salt on it BUT still, I KNOW the taste of raw potato 🤢 I am not sure tobacco sauce could ever taste worse to me lol 😅
Hey guys! Another great looking MRE video. That chili mac, looked like homemade. I chuckled as the "stealth" mystery hand appeared out of nowhere, while Me Ancient was finishing off the Irish crème drink, that very quickly grabbed a peanut M&M, while no one was looking! LOL! Once again, I'm glad to see a quality meal for our troops. You mentioned that you're from Iowa, I didn't know that. I lived in West Liberty Iowa and also Clearlake Iowa, for several years. Lots of snow in Clearlake!! Even got the new CJ7 stuck in the driveway once! Lifted the entire Jeep up off the ground, on the skid plate on the snow! I never did live that one down!! Great video guys, looking forward to the next one, God bless.
Isn't Clearlake toward the NW corner of Iowa? It seems like we used to travel by there on my way from Marion to my grandmothers in George. TFW, Darryl, as always!
@@MeAncient It's actually about 30 miles south of the northern border, almost directly in the center (east/west), of the state. It's directly north of Des Moines Iowa, on I-35. I think it's the city where Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper crashed in that airplane on February 3 1959. I really appreciate your reply, and I enjoy your videos and Asa's. God bless.
@@calebkrueger5349 Do you live there now, Caleb? I graduated high school from MHS in 1977, the biggest graduating class in school history up to that point.
Speaking as a retired cook/ chef you must mix the Tabasco sauce into the meal for even disturbition and flavour profile. Great content sir and Thank you for your service Marine.... Semper Fi
Man watching that cheese wiz turd dangle never gets old guys🤙🏻👍🏻 I've never been a fan of any MRE videos before but I love watching your dad dig in to them every time don't think I've missed one yet I have a couple that have been in my garage you've been making me want to open them 😆
Hey mighty Ancient one. I absolutely love your MRE videos. Believe it or not one thing I like most about them is storytime. The stories and history that you share add character to what you do and who you are. Your family as a whole is amazing. I love watching not just your videos but Ace and High Adventure videos to. Keep doing what y'all do and since I live in NC hope to bump into y'all somewhere some time.
So glad for the update ! I love watching all your videos while I’m making my own dinner ! Chili Mac is one of my favorites. I always add a little hot sauce ! Keep up the awesome videos ! Love watching you & ace have such a good time together !
Glad you like them! We really do have a good time together. I am very fortunate to have had this time with Ace. Sooner or later he'll get married and then life will be different....not bad or worse, just different. I am looking forward to that, too. TFW, Mary!
Gotta have a bit of hot sauce with chili mac...Next time you get crackers and cheese spread add a splash of hot sauce to it...🤔 I remember those round crackers from the C-rats as well ....Did you ever get those 4 packs of cigarettes?? Got a few of those....😆😆.. I remember Mountain House from my time in Scouts in the late 70's so they know what they are doing... Pugil sticks....Y E A H!! 😀

I'm a plumber and have worked @ the facility that chili Mac was made at. Its a very serious freeze drying operation these guys know what their doing. Being around that much pure ammonia is kinda scary but you gotta get things really cold to remove the moisture. It smells great in that place depending on what day it is, some of that food smells funky to me. Great Channel enjoy your content guys.
Could you please show some photos from your old photo albums, some antique items from when you were a child, or some stuff from the military. I think it would is a very good idea for a video.
I really love this content keep it up! My uncle would tell me stories of Afghanistan and Iraq and chili Mac was his favorite and that there would be lots of trading regarding MREs.
Al, that was one of the things you always looked forward to once you received your MREs. Trading everything from the main item to any of the smaller ones. It was fun. TFW!
Good vid again mate i watch all your videos and they are good and fun to watch! Irish cream coffee is made with baileys cream liqueur ! Keep up the good work and greetings from scotland!
lovin the mre reviews me ancient...was diagnosed with kidney cancer and ive been power watching alot of your content...makes me feel better for the moment...hey Ace
Nice to see a new chili macaroni! Mountain house makes chili mac with beef in the form of hiking/camping food also, which I’m sure everyone knows. That’s one of my favorite mountain house meals. Thanks for doing this one again! When I eat the chili mac I put in less water than the package suggests so I get more of a sauce instead of a chili soup. Personally I think it tastes better, but that’s just my opinion
Food looks pretty good. Beef, beans and macaroni are staples for a reason. I've always wanted to try fighting with those sticks, looks pretty fun. I think I saw them in an event back when I was a child but I was late for that one and never got to try it. Thanks for the video.
This one looks good! I agree on the Tabasco sauce. It just feels like vinegar + hot. I love hot sauce but there's just so many more flavorful options: Cholula, Tapatio, Valentina...I could keep going. If a restaurant only has Tabasco, I skip it 😂
This one has the most appetizing appearance I have YET see in a mre. That chili beef Mac- looks so good, my mouth waters just seeing it. Swear it must be one of those things you can finish and wish you had more to eat of it lol 😂 Has happened with me and some really tasty meals 😊
I have couple I love menu #9 beef stew also menu #18 beef ravioli and menu #7 beef strips and garlic mashed potatoes menu #8 meatballs in marinara sauce mashed potatoes those are my top 4 favorites
I bet that was a funny fight 🤣🤣🤣 once again your stories reaffirm my thoughts after seeing Full Metal Jacket that you don’t mess with Marines I truly enjoy watching your reviews today is my birthday and I’m glad I saw this new upload best way to bring in my birthday thank you Sir I really appreciate you 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🖖🏽🖖🏽🖖🏽
My grandfather was on the North Carolina he was an officer and I remember either him or someone else talking about how people in hospital would be given Hershey bars to be reminded of home and obviously the shop would have those big brand items as well. When I went I remember wanting to have one of the meals that’s was served on the ship especially meals given during thanksgiving because I feel like it would be cool idk why.
Love the corn pop reference 🤣 Awesome video. I would love to hear about what the food was like at basic ? Was there a mess hall ? Good food ? What was boot camp like
I don't want too comment too much but I had a thought. The civilian Mountain House biscuits and gravy is AMAZING! You should try it out on a video. Also, if you were to put your coffee packet in with your mocha drink it boost the flavor.
I thought of that coffee idea when I was editing this video.....Hopefully next time I'll remember that. TFW! Tell all the other A's "Hello" from me ancient.
You think so? My wife says we should have named him Lynn Jr. His mannerisms really remind my wife of me when I was his age. Micah is certainly the livestream king! TFW!
I love that stuff. I never knew we didn’t have tons of money but we always ate very well. Mom used to make this often to stretch one pound of ground beef to five people. One of my favorite meals. Mom called it goulash.
@@MeAncient oh my goodness! That is neat. No I grew up in northern Delaware and now live on the Eastern Shore of VA where my family is from. We have always been able to make a great meal from very little. One of the blessings for us. I think most everyone’s Mom had similar recipes to stretch protein. Ham-ham-eggs and ham- ham salad- ham and bean soup…. 😂😂
Thats an impressive 'coil' of cheese right there.. 😄 overall what a well rounded MRE, I'd be happy with that! 👍😁 Corn nuts are a great snack, I can occasionally find them here in Australia and when I do, it's a good day..
I'm from Iraq and I have many ready-to-eat meals I got from a friend who works inside the American bases and I'm young and I love these delicious meals
You know what, wouldn't it be neat to compare a Mountain House civilian meal to a MRE to see if truly the same. Heck, I may even do that on my own. Great video once again.
Chili-Mac was a staple at Lackland AFB Basic Training and the one meal we all looked forward to! I'm gonna buy one of these in the hopes that is takes on that trip down memory lane.
This is one of my favourite mains. I have been looking out for the MCW version in the UK but its like rocking horse shite. I was cracking up at the pugal stick story. Looked dam tasty though. Great review.
Well I'll be we had v this in regular m.r.es it was good but that one looked outstanding .asa lol grab that m and m I'll have to look into these cold weather one we had a few in training but mostly hot chow wagon
Hands down, the chili Mac is by far my favorite. I mix the cheese, crackers and meal together. Whatever I don’t finish that night, I’ll munch down the next day…EVEN COLD
@@ericlucksted6616 Eric, I did!!! I just picked them up today, in fact. We are going to have fun with these! Please email me at meancient@gmail.com and I'll ask a few questions of you. It may be tomorrow as I am about to hit the rack. Thank you so much. All 24 meals and the seasoning arrived in tact.
If that was a jumping spider, I’ll scream lol I used to keep them as pets - they’re so cute and fun to watch. They have the cutest faces and demeanors 🕷️🖤🥰 Lucas the spider cartoon is a jumping spider 😊
@@MeAncient of course brother! Let me know if you and Asa make your way to the ozarks I'll get you guys hooked up on some 4 or 5 lb trout I found a honeyhole
When eating an MRE such as but not limited to chili Mac, chili, Mexican style stew I suggest crushing the crackers in the package and heating the cheese spread (until melted) and mixing them into the main meal. You will not be disappointed.
As a former US Airman. I've had this out in the field and it was a great meal, I didn't get the hotsauce you did but my buddy had some fresh chili flakes. And he didn't want them so I took the whole pack... big mistake those were the freshest, hottest and most succulent flakes I ever had.
You had me rolling on the floor with the corn pop insert😂😂😂 let’s go Brandon. Praying for a reverse for this country. Guys like you and your sons give me hope. Great video as always hope to see you boys around sometime.

Ace wanted those M&M’s and the spider wanted that cheese. Can’t a guy get a meal to himself? Hahaha! Great video!
I'm going to have to keep a better eye on him during the filming. I edited out a few other times he 'stole' an M&M. TFW!
This is one of my favourite mains. I have been looking out for the MCW version in the UK but its like rocking horse shite. I was cracking up at the pugal stick story. Looked dam tasty though. Great review.
Tks, Eats..... I appreciate the kind words and TFW!
love this content
You are kind. TFW!
That Corn pop speech elevated your new president above Bush Jr for me in Funny American presidents, he just speaks actual gibberish lol

Mountain House is good stuff 😉
You know it!
The Corn Pop reference 🤣we still laugh about that to this day
I just couldn't help myself. TFW!
Brandon will never live that down. 😆
Mountain house is pretty good as I've tried it myself. I'm even more of a fan knowing they made it for military mres.
Cold weather mres don't exist new anymore because mountain house doesn't want to manufacture to mres
@@DavidS22003 oh well dang. They still have a quality product 👌
is it possible to buy this mre. Looks really good and would like to try it out:)
An awesome mre. Remind me never to go in combat with you being an opponent 😉
Srijan, I am happy you enjoyed the review. I surely do enjoy making them. TFW, as always!
I love Tabasco! Only 3 ingredients! Where can I purchase this MRE sir?
Legend
In my own mind..........TFW
Irish cream is top tier flavor for me. If its available, I am gonna order it.
It was my first time having Irish cream. Very tasty. As always, TFW, Jenn!
Where do you buy these stuff? These MREs?
Where at in Iowa are you from ?
Well I'll be we had v this in regular m.r.es it was good but that one looked outstanding .asa lol grab that m and m I'll have to look into these cold weather one we had a few in training but mostly hot chow wagon
Tom, I'm going to really have to keep my eyes on 'ol Ace. TFW!
@@MeAncient lol it was cute considering hes your son lol and all
You guys should put links to this stuff
Hands down, the chili Mac is by far my favorite. I mix the cheese, crackers and meal together. Whatever I don’t finish that night, I’ll munch down the next day…EVEN COLD
I can see that, Eric. TFW!
@@MeAncient Quick question, did you receive the boxes of MREs i sent to Ace’s P.O Box?
@@ericlucksted6616 Eric, I did!!! I just picked them up today, in fact. We are going to have fun with these! Please email me at meancient@gmail.com and I'll ask a few questions of you. It may be tomorrow as I am about to hit the rack. Thank you so much. All 24 meals and the seasoning arrived in tact.
That's some pretty good chow! 👍
You know it was, El Tenda! TFW!
If that was a jumping spider, I’ll scream lol
I used to keep them as pets - they’re so cute and fun to watch. They have the cutest faces and demeanors 🕷️🖤🥰 Lucas the spider cartoon is a jumping spider 😊
Next gun show I go to, I'm heading right to the MRE/Prepper booth lol.
You know it! I'll have to head to a gun show to see if any are available. Thanks for the tip and TFW!
The corn pop reference though battle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You knew it was coming, right? TFW, Terrence
@@MeAncient of course brother! Let me know if you and Asa make your way to the ozarks I'll get you guys hooked up on some 4 or 5 lb trout I found a honeyhole
@@terrencejohnson9577 That sounds good, Terrence. Thank you for the offer. We'll have to see.....you never know.
When eating an MRE such as but not limited to chili Mac, chili, Mexican style stew I suggest crushing the crackers in the package and heating the cheese spread (until melted) and mixing them into the main meal.
You will not be disappointed.
I'll have to try and remember that tip. It sounds like a good one, Brandon. TFW!
Let's go corn pop! 😆 Bad boys bad boys, whatchu gonna do.
You need to write a book about your time in the military
Did you get a new cap for your canteen, or did it come out of the cold weather mre?
I like the fact you didn't have the spider added to your dinner.
This guy seems like he smokes way too much weed XD all jokes aside thank you for your service to our country sir I love your videos
The pugelsticks diatribe sold me. This man is an American legend.
Legend in my own mind...... TFW, J C!
Even old C-ration matches work still today.Not surprising that matches sealed in plastic package work LOL
Well, that's true enough. It's become sort of a tradition after I had the one matches pack nearly explode in my hand.......TFW!
For some reason his favorite mre is Charlie's tuna with cheese it reeses pieces and moldy pound cake
As a former US Airman. I've had this out in the field and it was a great meal, I didn't get the hotsauce you did but my buddy had some fresh chili flakes. And he didn't want them so I took the whole pack... big mistake those were the freshest, hottest and most succulent flakes I ever had.
You had me rolling on the floor with the corn pop insert😂😂😂 let’s go Brandon. Praying for a reverse for this country. Guys like you and your sons give me hope. Great video as always hope to see you boys around sometime.
You know it was coming, right, Eric? TFW, we are praying as well.
Maybe we'd be better off with Corn Pop in the Oval Office..... 😆
