Eating an MRE on a recent camping trip

[RES1ST0R]

thanks for showing us how to open a spoon too

[RES1ST0R]

what was the noise you made at 3:23

[WatzUp5099]

It's not an accent. It's called being southern

[dreadlock360]

your accent is awesome!

[misterkindsir]

First of all, I would like to disagree about this man being a "dufus" providing by that term targetmarksman1 refers to means "dumb" or "unintelligent". Now, to the survivalistboards, may I ask where you specifically obtain these MRE and if they are military issue or for civilian use. If military, do you know if they can be obtainted from Canada? Thank you in advance, kind sir.

P.S. MREs are quite scarce and very expensive in Canada. I've had only one and it was delicious!

mrKindsir

[targetmarksman1]

This clown has to be the biggest dufus I have ever seen. I love the way he talks down to his kids to make them look stupid on camera so he can look smarter that them. Try to pretend once that you don't know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING.

[B34STYxWELLMAN]

lol racist against honey bees hahaahahah!

[DAISYMAYK123]

u take the mre poutch out of the heater

[10yearvet]

MRE's have changed a LOT since they were first introduced to us in the military. We used to call the dehydrated beef and pork patties "hockey pucks". We used to pack our own hot sauce, not to flavor them but rather to kill the taste. I hear they are actually edible now.

[723398216]

if you can't get your gobble rod to the bottom cos you're scared of germs, squeeze the food up from the bottom and fold it like a tube of toothpaste. Simples!

[godismyhomie101]

Where do u get ur MREs

[survivealist]

@godismyhomie101 some in walmart called mountain houses

[godismyhomie101]

Where do u get ur MREs

[ToddIngram1000]

@godismyhomie101 military surplus, and and most places on the web

[mrrock4star]

here do you get your MRE's

[candigirl1970]

looks like that MRE pack came with everything but a moist towelette to clean ur hands with.

[babyycookiess]

@candigirl1970 they actually do come with a moist towelette and napkins

[AwokenDemon]

@candigirl1970 they actualy do have moist towlets in them;) toilet paper too

[mushidigger]

@candigirl1970 mres include main auntrey desert siding condements possebly tobasco sause napkins a moist towlet sometimes gum a beverage-most likely fruity coffie a heating package with the iron packates to heat it with water and the beverage bag

[mushidigger]

@candigirl1970 oh and a spoon -beverages may varry

[mushidigger]

@candigirl1970 OOH and matches that stay good in moist inviroments

[theOUTDOORSSON]

have you guys ever tryed the chicken fajita mre me and my dad have one we are saving it for backpacking trip or a hunting trip

[MinerAmax]

where do u all get MREs?

[Tezku]

@MinerAmax ebay:)

[tristram599]

well.. i think u have the same quantity of bactetria in ur mouth

[eatsleepbike]

Try opening your mre's horizontally or length-wise so your spoon reaches all the way to the bottom!

[oohrah1996]

were do you get yours at???

[TheStig000]

MREs are loaded with calories, so using them for two meals is a great idea.

[jbdude16]

what brand of mre do you buy?

[RichieLT]

@jbdude16 he has an actual military (surplus) MRE in this video. you can get them on ebay but only buy MRE's from a TOP RATED SELLER!!!!

[boulespuantes]

does the heater work with piss? so if you had to conserve water could you still get it hot?

[tkdboy26]

the gum is actually laxitive gum



[madfisherman96]

@tkdboy26 that makes sense, because my uncle was a army ranger and he called them meals refusing to exit, so the laxative gum sounds like a good idea

[mwhatley64]

@tkdboy26

No it's not a laxative. That's a myth that trooops like to spread around.

[formula90II]

@mwhatley64

Hahaha yeah, the military loves to tell it's share of crazy stories. :)

[slayer87991]

thanks for informing me on mres i use them whenever i go hiking

[slayer87991]

thatnks for informing me on MREs i use them all the time when im hiking.

[NJsBiggestAssHole]

stupid southerners.

[MultiStoryStudios]

if i ever got a mre i would get the civilian ones to make it legal

[vulcman2007]

Obviously he's doing this for educational purposes, I highly doubt he sits around his house eating MRE's. Being an avid hiker, I can tell you that fats are not a problem when humping a 50 to 100lb. pack through the mountains. The more energy you exert the more calories you burn, and not all fats are bad for you.

[dickz28ss]

you think that shits good until you eat that it almost everyday for a year and opening it on the long side will eliminate the fact that the spoons too short sorry man but your like a 15th rate tom brown jr

[OAXM202]

An MRE is loaded with around 7000 calories and loads of fat. They're made to keep up a fighting soldier strength. Not a redneck on a camping trip. You'll get fat like your friend if eating them like a regular meal.

[airsoftmany123]

"this thing is HAWT" lol love your accent

[schutter0291]

where can i get a mre

[airsoftmany123]

@schutter0291 military surplus stores

[schutter0291]

where can you get a mre?

[fourpointohh]

what brand mre are these? you get alot of stuff with just one

[skoredreng]

@fourpointohh its the real military mre's

[mrmean321]

not trying to be mean but u need a better camera

[cameron327]

Tabasco makes everything better!!

[kr00k3d100]

im 13 and love MREs lol had one when i was hunting cuz my brothers friend is a veteran (awesome guy) and we were all hunting and i had the meatloaf and gravy mmmmmmmmmmm

[noahboa13000]

im 14 and i will eat a mre over pizza

[BIG34BRUCE]

At 0.29 larry the cable guy i swear

[gaiagale]

...there is more packaging than food ...there are more viruses and bacteria in the air we breath than on our hands ...and what are you doing with the packaging ...I trust you are taking it with you ...Why are you going camping? ...sorry... I did learn something though ...people sure think differently than I

thanks for sharing

[x1298]

Thumbs up if you think they did this wrong and that last guy was slightly retarded.

[eternalfire1244]

MREs suck. The IMPs that the Canadian Forces use are way better. From what my friends have told me, these are like currency to the Americans in Afghanistan.

I have tried several of both and I love IMPs , one of my favorites is the Hungarian Goulash. I find it funny that there was any difference at all because they for the most part are made by the same company.

[PeteMaz]

The peanut butter is like body putty, but its good in the sand!

[LifeDeathAnime]

@Kadude1 For 6 dollars? How would you manage that?

[kingfisher44]

squeal piggy squeal

[roaming1978]

I can appreciate you wanting to teach ppl about survival, but you need a lot more experience than what your displaying on camera, maybe you should check out some of nutnfancy's video's and learn the right way to do things since you are trying to teach ppl on your own channel!

[Manny1222]

@roaming1978 It's one thing being an expert, it's another thing being a good teacher. But I think he does a decent job. This is the first time I have seen an MRE opened and used in one video.

[roaming1978]

@Manny1222 I'm not trying to bash the guy, because I'm no expert myself..but I hear what your saying...I just think he should be a little more well equipped with knowledge/know how.

[Manny1222]

@roaming1978 I agree with you fully. Whoo!

[jabara83]

i think hes a bit to cautios about sticking his hands in it. ppl would eat worms and snakes and fish sometimes raw but then u would be afraid to stick ur fingers in an mre? i can respect being careful about stuff but i think theres a point where your to cautios

[RustyXIII]

Why are you guys wearing jeans? Hope you haven't chafed your nuts off...

[roaming1978]

@RustyXIII I was thinking the same thing,they don't look to prepared!

[SuperR3volver]

Hey Mr. Kevin, where did you get than canteen?

[gerrygprs]

@Kadude1 if there was a nuclear bomb that hit your town, do you honestly think it would matter if you were prepared or not? not a single "survival" skill would matter. But as far as MRE's, not everyone thinks like you. Again, its an instructional video. If you don't need to know about MRE's, just be on your way, and stop making idiotic comments about how much much people should die if they don't know about MRE's. Looks like you're not idiot proof either.

[gerrygprs]

@Kadude1: there's a lot of people that don't know what MRE's are, so it's a great instructional video of what an MRE is and demonstrate the most common item included in one. If you want to talk about reality checks, maybe you should check yourself first. For the same amount of time you spent writing negative posts and your opinions, you could have made a video of how to help others with things they might not know. Seems you know a lot more than Kevin by the sound of things, tough guy.

[axeshred]

I just dump a bunch of the tabasco sauce in it. I'm sure that kills some germs.

[headlesschicken6661]

How does MREs differ from freeze dried foods in terms of taste, convenience, longevity, and nutritional value. Been wanting to put together a survival kit along with either a water purifier or the tablets, hand crank radio/light, etc.

[xXxSHOOPIExXx]

It comes with toilet paper? Haha I wonder if the company that makes the MREs are hinting that this food might cause but not limited to giving you the squirts.

[tufbugga]

@xXxSHOOPIExXx Why do you think it's funny MREs have toilet paper in them? Troops in the field, or anyone else in the wilderness, has to go to the toilet just the same as if they were back at base or in their home. Or don't you know that?

[KiltPatrick]

Not too concerned about bacteria. It's all over your body, and in your mouth. A little bit in your food's not gonna matter much. MRE's kick ass, though.

[jyhammy]

my cousin in the marines in matter of facts lives of tons of boxes of MREs

[sigge951]

Fewds

[0mG1tsjenny]

where can u get mres???

[timmytoe32]

@0mG1tsjenny google it

[FluffyAnger571]

the peanut butter kicks major ass

[nicktrav]

what"s with the dopey-ass Elvis Presley?

[settlesdown]

POUNDCAKE FTW!!! hahaha.

[jonathano1989]

poor scotty :(

[StealthSamurai7771]

I was in my house during Hurricane Ivan in Pensacola Florida, and after it was over, we went down to the local high school to get some ice, bottled water, and MREs. I never knew what one was before that time, but now we still have some boxed up, and they are the best tasting, most delicious meals to eat anywhere!!! I carry one or two on the trail whenever I hike!

[nvhieu97]

@StealthSamurai7771 :)

[AaronfromWM]

@StealthSamurai7771 Trust me, when im out in the field, i always get the Meatball marinara, its got candy in it.

[manatarms79]

glad I saw this, I usually don't think about bacteria.

[m1grand70]

@manatarms79 yeah, i mean this food is given to the united states military. That's how you know it's fuckin 100% quality.

[Norcalbowhunter]

@manatarms79 It is always a good idea to think of bacteria when out in the woods. However a small bottle of hand sanitizer with rubbing alcohol that kills 99% of germs is always a good thing to have around so you can clean your hands before you eat.

[vinxisdbest]

great vid
