MRE Star Meal, Ready, to Eat

[DaFukYouCD]

felt so weird watching you eat, idk why. But thanks for the video, it was very informative and thanks for your service in the military.

[mattc1683]

shit....I wish they would have had good shit like that in our mre's

[mattc1683]

hahaha...you have a rape whistle

[Michael117american]

No matches either

[Doggieman1111]

The problem with the commercial ones is that the company is trying to make a profit, which means they'll cut corners and you'll get less for your money.

[wheewheetiger]

How is the MRE star meal different from a normal MRE?

[a1xavier]

you had 4 wraps around buckles but only 2 on core of bracelet how did you do that

[1adit1]

can i find these in India????

[Sebas3440]

What's the difference between the clear and tan ones?

[thecjc97]

@Sebas3440 one is legal to sell the other is not.

[Sebas3440]

@thecjc97 It's actually not illegal to sell military MREs. There is no law preventing it.

[sixtey1]

you sound like Hank Hill lol

[QualityAirsoft]

mix the nuts and rasins with the fruit and wallaa instant trail mix

[magicamadeye]

Bon Appetit

[MrNasnap]

dirt is natures condiments!

[18bravoak]

mre's are the shit....best part of the army 

[politicjunkee]

I just bought some MRE Star -- thanks for the heads up!

[gryphon50]

That simple bracelet demo was one of the clearest on youtube. Thanks.

[thecupcakeman69]

can you buy mre's without nuts? and where

[jonlocke83]

Just curious, where did you find the buckles with the whistle? I can't find them.

[gwynn1975]

@jonlocke83 I got them at REI

[jonlocke83]

I was looking at these but wasn't sure about them so thank you for posting this. The A-pack MREs are pretty good too if you want to try something different.

[killenair95]

great video man keep up the good work!

[IrkSpooky]

@DAISYMAYK123

gum is to keep your teeth as clean as possible to keep them as healthy as possible.coffee is for the caffeine purposes.whoever told you otherwise is and idiot.the meat however does remind me of catfood.

[DAISYMAYK123]

coffie is laxative

so is gum

dont eat the meat 

[m16police]

cool video man!

[Zyyler55]

MRE bad or not bad....in a tragedy or whatever moment.... i wouldn't give damn if it taste bad, smells bad or if its dry as HELL.... if it can keep me alive and keeps me away from starving to death.... then its all good

[TurtleofWarII]

were can you buy the mre or the military mres at?

[paracordjunky]

Keep up the videos reviews they are great.

[paracordjunky]

I agree I really enjoyed your review on the MRE and I also would like to see more videos on that. You reviewing a military one would be cool. Keep up the videos they are great.

[xpaullettax]

mre star is not as good as the military mres

[MrTimthetoyman]

Hey man, I liked your demo on making the paracord bracelet, but you didnt go into much detail so I thought I would ask; about how much paracord did you start with or would you recommend one start with in order to get a decent bracelet?

Is there a way to make it to maximize the length of cord into the same size of bracelet? (such as doubling the wraps and making it wider?)

Thanks for the reviews and videos!

[kumquatsta]

always appreciate a good mre review. thanks. hope you do more.

[survivaleveryday]

Great book. Never tried these MRE's I will have to go to the website.

[scrimpyanimal]

haha i wouldnt recommend eating mre's if your on a diet....those things are packed with calories. great if your active and on a trail though.

[InsertGun]

how do these compare to the mil-spec ones.

[e1ghtys1x]

I had an MRE, they aren't all that bad actually.

[gwynn1975]

@e1ghtys1x No they're not. Thanks for watching

[bazi91]

please do more MRE videos gwynn1975! i just wished they sold mres in my country... :(

[gwynn1975]

@bazi91 Thats a bummer that they don't.. I will definitely do more videos as I get more.. thanks for watching

[bazi91]

@gwynn1975 great! love your vids

[gwynn1975]

@bazi91 Thank you.. Have a great day!

[shawneegeek]

@bazi91 Where do u live??? You pay the shipping and i'll send u a few, I work in the supply room for the U.S. Army and we got tons....

[aznl99]

@shawneegeek Hmm I want some..How much is shpping?

[shawny142]

@bazi91 if you want to see an MRE video check out my channel im going to post my first one soon

[shawneegeek]

Did that box come with a cheese and veggie omelette?? You should have ate that one and earned a spot next to bear grylls for eating things that arent food XD

[gwynn1975]

@shawneegeek LOL.. I'll have to look and see if it's in the case..

[gasdorf]

mud butt ...come with some towlet paper 

[gwynn1975]

@gasdorf LOL

[evankoeve]

Great video! can't wait for more

[gwynn1975]

@evankoeve Thanks again my friend. Take care

[mwig50]

"Doesn't that look delicious!" lmao not sure about that but I bet it tasted better than it looked :)

Thanks for sharing!

[gwynn1975]

@mwig50 LOL.. Oh come on.... It was great!  LOL

Thanks for watching my friend

[JB4Outdoor]

Man, you're videos are always very nive.... :-)

[gwynn1975]

@JB4Outdoor Thank you so much JB.. Take care my friend

[Seppish1]

LOL On a diet and eating an MRE! Nice man, I don't think there is such a thing as a diet when you are eating out of your BOB. Nice vid again brother

[gwynn1975]

@Seppish1 LOL.. I was wondering when somebody was going to mention that. Atleast I know somebody was paying attention.. Thanks for watching

[gwynn1975]

@theArmedJanitor HAHA.. I know what you mean.. Sometimes, even if it's breathing, I'll eat it.. Thanks for watching

[bravo2pnx1]

got some on the way

[gwynn1975]

@bravo2pnx1 Awesome.. I think you'll like them, if you like the older military ones

[HachiZenki]

If you got the trots eat the peanut butter. If you're constipated eat the grape jelly.

[gwynn1975]

@HachiZenki HAHA.. Trots... Thanks for watching my friend

[DemonHide]

That does look good... I hear the chiclet gum was a laxative (the Tabasco too? Dunno). Maybe what they make the civ. stuff out of goes through you easier. Hey, that clasp-whistle thing is a good idea. Where'd ya get it?

[gwynn1975]

@DemonHide Thanks DH.. Not sure if they were really laxatives or not..

I got the whistle clasp at REI.. Thanks for watching

[flabeachcomber]

Ready for a nap? lol. I've been there, many times. Nice vid.

[gwynn1975]

@flabeachcomber Thank you very much.. Take care

[CdnLifeguard71]

Looks good Trevor. No soldier fuel type bar but pretty good none the less. The bracelet you were make looks great. What knots did you use to secure the loop to the 2 buckles?

Nate

[gwynn1975]

@CdnLifeguard71 Thanks for watching Nate.. To be honest, I'm not sure what knots I used.. On one side, I just did a couple of half hitches, and the other side I started with half a square knot.. LOL

[edgedweapon88]

That MRE actually looked pretty good. I have tried some civilian MREs before and they tasted horrible. Did the warmer come with the MRE?(others that I have tried require you to buy the warmer separately) Thanks for sharing Trevor.

[gwynn1975]

@edgedweapon88 I forgot to add that.. Yes the MRE comes with the heater in these ones.. Thank you so much for watching

[mizooch70]

Great vid bro! I lived that scenario for 20 years in the Marines. Make sure to drink plenty of water because those things will back the pipes up! God bless.

[gwynn1975]

@mizooch70 HAHA.. I hear ya.. I did it for 9 years.. Thanks for watching

[CaptainBerz]

Nice review, MRE is a hot video now a days it seems. LOL!

[gwynn1975]

@CaptainBerz Really? Dang it.. I was hoping to be one of the few.. Oh well.. Thanks for watching Berz

[DontStopPre7]

That bracelet is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Can you show how you put it on the buckles? And where you got the buckles and chord from? I know the pattern but not sure how you do the buckles. Awesome video!

[gwynn1975]

@DontStopPre7 Thank you so much. I'm actually not that good at getting them started, so I will practice ALOT longer before I do a vid on that.. LOL

I got the buckles at REI and the paracord at EDCDepot.com

[charper3006]

Thanks for sharing Gwynn. I have never had the civilian version either. I have tons of the military versions though. I like the bracelet as well.

[gwynn1975]

@charper3006 Thank you so much for the support my friend. The civilian ones aren't that bad.

[smackied765]

the whistle is an awsome add to the bracelett! great vid keep them coming!

[gwynn1975]

@smackied765 Thank you smackied..

[INFIDELxSTRONG]

great vid. loved that you did this outdoors. very well done.

[gwynn1975]

@INFIDELxSTRONG Thank you so much.. take care

[mrfirstbase0]

If you forgot to turn on your microphone you could also go back and do a voice-over when you edit you video.

[gwynn1975]

@mrfirstbase0 I thought about doing that.. But being out there in the cold, made the brain fart even worse.. LOL

[samurai165]

Great vid, love outdoor vids!

[gwynn1975]

@samurai165 Thank you so much my friend.. stay safe

[GearBuyersGuide]

I haven't tried that brand yet.. are they priced about the same as other brands or surplus MREs?

[gwynn1975]

@GearBuyersGuide Yes, they are comparible in price. I found these on sale at the gun show for $49, but they are usually $69

[cibolodave]

Thanks for the review. I always wondered how good the civilian MRE's were.

[gwynn1975]

@cibolodave Thanks for watching

[TheTacticalDefender]

Do those MRE's come with Pizza in them? if so then I need to buy me some! That spot looks real nice to sit and relax, make lunch and have a nap, I need to find me a spot where I could do the same. Thank you for taking the time and sharing your lunch with us. Stay safe. -Tim

[gwynn1975]

@TheTacticalDefender Thanks Tim... It wouldn't surprise me to find a pizza in one of these.. I honestly don't look through the meals.. I just grab and go. That way, I'm not picky when I eat them. Take care my friend

[AmericanSurvival101]

That's one sharp knife!

[gwynn1975]

@AmericanSurvival101 It's not bad for $17. I will be doing a review on it soon

[hotstuff7655]

You gave me a military prior service flashback with the MRE's. Every formation a parade and every meal a feast! Thanks!

[gwynn1975]

@hotstuff7655 HAHA.. no problem.. Take care

[solimiansky]

good video gwynn

[gwynn1975]

@solimiansky Thank you sir

[sjc253tac]

Good video! You can get the tiny bottles of Tabasco sauce thru the Tabasco Country store website. Look at the weather in the back ground, you have it a little dryer than here in Tacoma.

[gwynn1975]

@sjc253tac I heard you guys were getting a little wet over there.. Thanks for the tip on the Tabasco.. I love putting that stuff in my MRE's.. Thanks for watching too

[IronRangeSurvival]

I was never a fan of the Tabasco sauce, except to add SOME flavor to some of the MRE's; and to play tricks on people with it. You can always come up with little games when your in a hurry up and wait situation. =) Thanks for sharing.

[gwynn1975]

@IronRangeSurvival HAHA.. One of the few times we got GP Mediums in Korea, I put 6 bottles down the smoke stack of our 1SG's and CPT's pot belly stove. Apparently, when the bottles break, the stuff acts like CS.. They came out coughing and crying.. It was great.. Thanks for watching

[ColinOutdoors]

Looks like a great MRE there Trevor, hope you enjoyed your nap lol. Take care

[gwynn1975]

@ColinOutdoors Thank you Colin. I actually slept for about an hour out there after I turned the camera off. Nothing like sleeping in the open air. Thanks for watching my friend.

[thecajunblaze]

Love watching these outdoor videos. Looks like the MRE's aren't that bad. The boys and I are going tent camping the week of Thanksgiving. No MRE's, but we may film eating Cajun style. As always I enjoy your vids, keep them coming.

[gwynn1975]

@thecajunblaze Ahh man, I am jealous.. Hopefully I'll get a weekend off to do some overnighters.. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the Blaze family makes out in the woods.. Thanks for watching my friend

[wolfbrother2501]

ive never had mre's military or civilian they arent avalible here cos our surplus stores suck lol

[gwynn1975]

@wolfbrother2501 Man, that is not cool.. Everybody should be able to try MRE's.. LOL.. Thanks for watching

[ATF6281914]

Being a trail mix fan, I would've tossed the fruit and nuts together. I gotta make a visit to my surplus store 'cause I think they have MREs.

Superb vid again, my man. As I've said before I really dig your outdoor vids. Keep em coming.

[gwynn1975]

@ATF6281914 That's actually what I did off camera. I just wanted to show each individual packet.. Thanks for all the kind words my friend.. More videos coming soon.

[ATF6281914]

@gwynn1975

Ah, I see. Great minds think alike.

You're very welcome and I'll be waiting.

[d4jit]

Good vid but can we get low cal MRE

[gwynn1975]

@d4jit LOL.. I dig through the box and see if I can find one.. :D

[beast12101]

great idea on the bracelet

[gwynn1975]

@beast12101 Thank you sir.. Take care

[biguy525]

Cool, I guess after you try a few more then you will be able to refine down what you need to add and what you don't like. Maybe when time permits you could do a video on how to set up lengths and how to start a para cord bracelet.

★★★★★

[gwynn1975]

@biguy525 I'm trying to figure out different ways to add beads, compasses, etc.. I'm not very good at the bracelets yet, but maybe after LOTS of practice, I will do a video on how I get them started.. Thanks for watching

[nooksolo]

my fav M.R.E. was the BBQ pork and rice in the old brown bag MRE . the new ones you have too heat them up for them to just taste some what edable. the old ones you didnt

[gwynn1975]

@nooksolo I used to love the Omelet with Ham.. Everyone in my unit hated it, so I was always able to trade for it.. Thanks for watching

[nooksolo]

@gwynn1975 YEAH I LOVED THAT ONE TOO ...it had the most food in the bag

[gwynn1975]

@nooksolo Yep.. as long as you added the cheese and the tabasco, it was good..

[nooksolo]

@gwynn1975 you lost me at the cheese part...

[gwynn1975]

@nooksolo If you added the cheese spread for the crackers into the main meal and made the omelet really cheesy.. Mmmmmm... good stuff

[nooksolo]

@gwynn1975 i hate cheese......! its all about the peanutbutter

[beast12101]

@gwynn1975 Im with your unit, the omelete is a little hard to get down

[gwynn1975]

@beast12101 LOL.. nahhh.. You just need to prep it right.. LOL

[recon66661]

great video  thanks!!

[gwynn1975]

@recon66661 Thank you my friend

[Triggertime71]

I have been looking at this brand of mre's, might have to give them a try. I have used the Sopak brand and they are very good also. Thanks for the review.

[gwynn1975]

@Triggertime71 I haven't tried the Sopak's yet.. I'll have to check them out.. Thanks for watching

[MadBadVoodo]

Looks yummy!

Thumbs Up my Friend!

[gwynn1975]

@MadBadVoodo Thank you sir. I hope all is going well for you. Get better soon my friend

[ramsd1]

Thanks for taking us along. How does the taste of this mre compare to the freeze dried meals i.e. mtn. house etc. 

[gwynn1975]

@ramsd1 I actually prefer MRE's over Mtn House freeze dried stuff. Easier to make and eat if you're in a hurry, and there is more of a selection in one pouch.. Although the Mtn House stuff is great for family dinners while camping.. Thanks for watching my friend

[lordmonfort]

Those cookies are probably like the ones they used to put in McD happy meals back when I was a kid.

I'm sure everything is short on salt and flavor to compensate for people's dietary needs, but looks like a god assortment of carbs, protein, sugar and caffeine.

[gwynn1975]

@lordmonfort HAHA.. I didn't even think of the Happy Meal cookies.. good memory..

I still like the military ones better, but these will definitely do the trick.. Thanks for watching

[hinckleypoland]

Awesome, thanks for posting. I have been thinking about getting some of these but I was never too sure about the civy models.

[gwynn1975]

@hinckleypoland One thing I forgot to mention, is that for some reason, this didn't fill me up like the military ones usually do.. Don't know if it was just me, or if the contents don't have as much in them.. They are good though.. Thanks for watching my friend

[hinckleypoland]

@gwynn1975 Thanks..

[TheDishD]

lol bad luck on the tech failure, fire the microphone man ha look like a good feed bro, and a nice nap at the end thanks for sharing the day, good vid bud take care.

[gwynn1975]

@TheDishD LOL.. Yeah the mic guy is definitely fired.. Thanks for watching my friend

[PeteyP3t3]

Hey another great video!! I found some cases of the star mres on craiglist for $20 a piece today and your video is right on time....I think I will buy a coupla cases now that I know from you that they ARE edible. Thank you.

[gwynn1975]

@PeteyP3t3 WOW.. I would definitely buy as many cases as possible at that price.. Atleast I know this meal was edible.. good luck on the others..

[SenseiTucker]

Good vid on the day out. Ive tried to show my kids that while out and about in the woods that the mre's aren't that bad.

[gwynn1975]

@SenseiTucker Trust me.. Let them go hungry enough, and they'll eat em.. LOL.

Thanks for watching

[xdmccwdude]

Nice job, enjoy the nap

[gwynn1975]

@xdmccwdude Thank you.. Believe it or not, after I turned the camera off, I did sleep for about an hour out there.. Thanks for watching
