    As someone who's served in Estonian Defense Forces i gotta say you got good variations. Separate protein powder is great, i never got that. The coffees, don't get me started, the best moments were in the forest, be it winter or summer just drinking it and absorbing your surroundings. Absolute bliss, never felt like that anywhere, true nostalgic impression in my brain forever. Throughout years the meals have been great, some better than others.

Even when he does not like a ration or a component of a ration, even if he criticizes a ration, he does so in an upbeat and positive manner. I truly wish that I could be that positive about life.

    I think he has an entire warehouse that holds every military ration in human history. Want to know what Hannibal's troops ate as they crossed the Alps? Orange sector, lane six, third shelf, next to the Incan potatoes that have nutrition facts recorded on quipu string. And Steve will eat them for us, regardless of their state of preservation.

    I started watching you in 2017. You and Camping with Steve are the two Steve’s I credit with inspiring me to get where I am today. Y’all were the first UA-camrs I started watching. I started on your content - and the algorithm decided I must like camping and outdoors stuff. So they started pushing Camping with Steve.
    Between the two of you, my love for adventure and camping was born. Through that, I discovered backpacking. Now I’ve hiked in every state except Alaska and am training for the PCT.
    Every now and then when I see these videos in my recommended it just reminds me of what I was doing in 2017 and how much my life has changed for the better - a change that might not have happened if I never stumbled across your videos (or if UA-cam decided to recommend me people like Logan Paul instead of you - which could have very well happened)

    10:30 Those are amazing for breakfast, and yes, they are best when cold, if you heat them they get kinda weird due to melted gelatin. In Poland we call them konserwy and you have looots of types of them(big chunks, pate, pork, chicken, mix meat etc), and as far as I know most of eastern Europe countries make them too, as they are cheap as its just lump of meat in a can. And they are not that bad as people think, as its really just meat, some spices, gelatin and basic, mostly natural preservatives. Its weird that we dont see that more often as its HUGE moral booster.

    That canned pork looks excellent. And it clearly comes from a single whole chunk of meat. Plus the gelatin indicates that a rich bone broth was made separately, maybe from pigs-feet, and then poured into the can to gel. What an exceptional high-quality product.

    That pork stew in a can - we usually eat it in Estonia exactly the same way that you did. My favorite part is the jelly around the pork, it makes it nice and juicy. We eat it on top of a rye bread. But when I was a student, I did a quick and cheap meal with this by boiling pasta and adding some of this canned pork, nothing else - this is how I ate it.

    Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving, Been watching these for years and looks like the more older rations tried to feed you a bunch of fat and more modern rations are trying to serve you a more balanced diet. I guess that has a lot to do with how you could store fruits and vegetable's but I like the more modern rations
