MRE Heater

[kleinesmaenchen]

MRE as a snack ? why have a good life when you can eat stuff that tastes bad.... and why would you think you would need to cook your MRE in silence in a building ? the russians and northkoreans wont invade your home dude.......

[EupFilmStudent2012]

where did you get the laser dot to test heat? thats a sweet lookin gadget ya got there!

[GearBuyersGuide]

@EupFilmStudent2012

Just a remote temperature sensor, they are used a lot in engine repair, Heating & A/C, refigeration, etc

Cost around $30 usually

[Talmadge92]

yucky i hate those fuckers

[jplastow]

ummm do you know what the angle is....cuz i use the tabasco sauce thing to keep it at an angle and it doesnt stay that warm

[jplastow]

it doesnt realy get that hot...i had the beef teryaki (blahhh!) and it actually wasnt that hot

[koolskater5]

Ok this might be either a realy dumb or realy smart question.

When the food is done heating what do i do with the heater? will it cool down? Can i just throw it away?

Thanks

[GearBuyersGuide]

@koolskater5

Good question

it does cool down quickly as the chemical reaction ends

[lopy78]

@GearBuyersGuide Or you can burn it and have a cool fire.

[jplastow]

@lopy78 or make a magnesium bomb by puting it in a bottle of water and close the cap

[misternome]

where you get 1 lol

[Cloakedsphere]

@misternome online. or at a military surplus store or sometimes sporting goods stores.

[montoya727]

No, you're the fuckin dumb ass. Water vapor is gas. It's the gas form of water. Go look it up. You think Marines don't get told what it is in a safety class? Get your facts straight before you try to tell someone in the military what is what. Your comment was dumb as you are.

[AbSoLuTexZeRo]

thats not gas dumb ass thats water vapor

[BMXfreak478811]

i bought a MRE #4 today and i wanted to see what it tasted like because im going to have to get used to it anyways (Im joining the Army in 3 years) and idk how the heater works. it isnt this water one. it is freeze dried and looks nothing like this. can somone help me?

[GearBuyersGuide]

@BMXfreak478811

Freeze dried US MREs haven't been used since the early 1980s (no longer edible)

[BMXfreak478811]

@GearBuyersGuide yeah, my bad. it was in a package. and i was being paranioded and that it was a different kind. my fault. sorry

[GearBuyersGuide]

@BMXfreak478811

Ahh no prob, what was it then?

[BMXfreak478811]

@GearBuyersGuide it was the one shown is this video. that water heater. i messed up tho and my chicken was kinda cold :( lol

[bestSVMS]

and having it blow up on you?

[KaletheQuick]

Those gasses are definitely flammable! If you get a group of people eating them together be VERY sure nobody nearby is smoking, and to use it in a well ventilated area. I saw (i am a medic) a soldier with injuries from this.

[GearBuyersGuide]

OK, good to know

[Whisper6911]

@KaletheQuick what about inhaling that stuff?

[Whisper6911]

@KaletheQuick let me be more specific: do you think that repeatedly inhaling these fumes over a long period of time can cause your immune system to fail ala poppers in the gay community?

[KaletheQuick]

Those things are so unrelated... The reaction makes two waste products, Hydrogen gas, and Magnesium Hydroxide. Hydrogen gas can only hurt you or if there is so much of it that is chokes out oxygen, but H2 rises so that is no problem. Magnesium Hydroxide is a common over the counter laxative and acne medicine. You know it as Milk of Magnesia. Since people have been drinking that and rubbing it all over their faces for hundreds of years you should be fine.

[KaletheQuick]

Poppers on the other hand are a carcinogenic mutagen that fucks with your neurotransmitters and cardiovascular systems, and like you said have been shown to suppress the immune system. Using smaller words, it causes cancer, causes mutations (usually cancer), messes up your brain, and makes your heart need to be difribulated (shocked; "CLEAR" zzt). The fact you find the two related disturbs me and I recommend you stop using them.

[Whisper6911]

wtf is wrong with you bro?

i ask a simple question and you feel the need to accuse me of using poppers?

i'm wondering about the still unexplained 'gulf war syndrome' and why we don't just call it aids when it happens to soldiers.

having no medical knowledge of any kind i decided to ask someone who knows.

wtf is your problem that i cant ask u a simple question without you accusing me of being both gay and a drug user?

feeling insecure about something perhaps?

sheesh!

[KaletheQuick]

Hey, you are the one that brought it up. Also, you set yourself up perfectly for that joke. lol. Gulf war syndrome is readily explained bu depleted uranium, and is more like a blanket term for many different thing. Depleted Uranium is actually still radioactive and very chemicly reactive. When it hits something it burns making radioactive soot, which is subsequently inhailed. Nothing spectacular.

But that poppers question seriously did come out of nowhere. :p

^_^

[Whisper6911]

lol sorry didn't read it as a joke.

text has its limitations...

actually the poppers question comes from a documentary which proposes that aids is not a disease but rather a grouping of immune system destroying problems, of which poppers was one.

[KaletheQuick]

AIDS is not a disease, it is a symptom, like a fever or a cough. Acquired Immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) can be "Acquired" in several ways, like having all of your lymph nodes removed. But usually has to do with that nifty virus HIV. I think we should just give everyone AIDS, then let the people who are immune make the next generation.

[linkdead14]

@KaletheQuick - Its hydrogen gas.

[KaletheQuick]

@linkdead14 Yes, I said that.

[linkdead14]

@KaletheQuick - Sorry, not on the comment I read.

[XoXoVENOMoXoX]

oh nice range i live in tempe AZ and have been looking for a new range to go to what does it cost to get in there?

[GearBuyersGuide]

this is 3 points.. prolly a 3 hour drive from you.. it's about 25 minutes outside of Tucson to the west

I think it's $7 a day.. but we all just join the club for $40 per year and shoot with no daily fee

[militarysims]

What do you mean snack!! They are great for meals I eat them when ever I can. They just take getting use to but after you do they are great. To me the best part is the Huge crackers man do i love them yum yum. Best ones are the military grade that are not meant for sale. They come with everything VS the Citizen ones that come with next to nothing. Only draw back I can say about eating a MRE is they give you gas.

[05MagnumSXT]

I had a buddy that just got off active duty pick me up a case of MRE's. Their not that bad. But then again I dont have to survive on them for weeks at a time like my friend did. He thought I was crazy actually wanting them.

Good Video as usual.

[kildas]

MRE = Meet Rejected by Ethiopians ... jk

[GearBuyersGuide]

thanks, I was thinking as I was editing that.. it can't be magnesium, or we could just spit on the magnesium fire starters, LOL

[whateverfast22]

looks like that temp was climbin pretty quick

[Dmajorproductions]

where is that gun range?

[GearBuyersGuide]

3 Points (Tucson Rile Club)

[Dmajorproductions]

oh cool, your in tucson, me too. i have never gone to 3 points, i usually go to SERP

[GearBuyersGuide]

This is our Gear Channel,

Gun Websites is our Gun Channel

[Dmajorproductions]

i was gonna say, i dont think magnesium has that effect. calcium carbide, where can you get that?

[GearBuyersGuide]

in MRE heaters ...

[criticalzen]

I haven't seen those in years. Cool.

[conarl1]

educational thanks.

[ValProductions]

"rock or something" ;)

[woodsdrifter]
