You are the epitome of what I believed I soldier would be after service. I am British and I absolutely love your channel. I love the content but also your personality and stories! Have a great day fella.

Ace’s hand going in for pretzels and candy here and there makes it even more funny 😂

You are my favorite youtuber keep up the good work love ur vids

For year my comfort food has been a pretzel dipped in peanut butter. I'm glad I am not the only one who loves the combo

That normality in the mist of the chaos of war is something my uncle (Comando in Africa during the Colonial Wars here in Portugal) use to talk about, like being in a large town having a beer in the local cafe, while in the outskirts of town the rebels and the regular troops where fighting in the bush and in the farmlands and they could listen to the firefight and they, the soldiers, and the civilians, were so use to it they continued their life as usual. Mind numbing what a human being can get use to... Great video, and a good story, as always...

Would love to see Asa's reactions on the items too, he always is the voice of reason when something comes out of the packet looking "sus" lol

Omg the father son bonding in this video is so great I love it

Dziękuję za kolejny ciekawy odcinek 👍🏼😁 Regards from Poland! 🤙

I have to admit, every time you get into one of these “older” meals, I get a bit nervous. I feel a genuine sense of relief when things go well. CHEERS SIR!

I already know this video is gonna be great. Love the videos, Sir❤

Love the MRE content MeAncient. It’s awesome to see how the food holds up and the crazy things you try. Keep it up

Me and my girlfriend really enjoy watching your videos! Yourself, Asa and Micah are three great family oriented people! America needs more people like you three! My girlfriends father was also stationed in Beirut in the exact same time as you were!

Holy flashback to Iraq, Me Ancient, Batman! Was So Good! One of those Marine's favorites! God bless You and Ace! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for sharing those pictures. That was cool .

Another great video and a tasty menu'🎉....and really interesting pictures...

Nothing like a new Me Ancient video to liven up a cold, wet and dreary Sunday. Excellent pictures, amazing how life goes on in a war torn country. Now I have a craving for pretzel sticks and cheese.🥨🧀👍

I used to watch every episode as soon as they came out but recently life has thrown so many curveballs I took a break from KZfaq. I’m very glad you are still doing theses videos I love them I love the story’s you tell as well one of the main reasons I watch thank you for making such entertaining content. These days have been getting dark the world is falling apart so it’s nice to come here and have peace thank you for your sacrifice as well you are an outstanding man

First of all thank you for your service. I liked your pics. My dad served in Vietnam and he passed 4yrs ago and my grandma gave me pics he sent her when he was over there. So again, thanks for sharing all your pics.

Another great video! I am glad you survived to make another one!!! Great vintage photos as well! Keep 'em coming Shipmate!! S

WooHoo new video! Thanks for the fun uploads as always Pops 😎

New subscriber here. Glad I found you guys. Thanks for this and God Bless you both. Look forward to the next one!

Thank you for all that you do to bring us great videos.

So glad to see your video pop up. :) Those photos are so interesting. Its amazing how resilient the people that lived there were. Life going on as best as it can in a war battered country. Each photo is an important part of history and I'm very glad you have them to share. Im not gonna lie i actually laughed out loud when you equated floaty creamer lumps with marshmallows 😂 Im so glad you got such a great 2005/6. Its about time you tried one that was fully edible. Such a great video to watch before I hit the sack. :)

It's funny as a chef hearing ace saying "I've never heard of that" in every mre vid. I feel like u are not an adventurous eater! Lol. Great vids guys! Much love

Also raspberry applesauce is the bomb. That you can't find it on a grocery store shelf is a crime against humanity😂

Back in the 80's in Germany we used to take the hot chocolate beverage powder, sugar, creamer, and coffee mix it in the same bag and add a little water to create ranger pudding. Try it one time for us and see what you think.

Those pics were great. Brought back a LOT of memories. I was aboard one of those ships in the picture, USS Ponce, LPD-15. I have pictures with the reverse viewpoint taken from the Ponce. That was a long freaking deployment.

Seems like you've had some good luck lately with these older MRE's! Fantastic video as always.

Life gos on, nice video guys. Thank you.

I think these videos are soooo cool! And the way you say some of those funny remarks about some of the items get me rollin’ every time 😂

That pic of the blown out buildings reminds me of once when I drove down US98 in Panama City Beach here in Florida, late 1970s. They'd just built a few hotels right on the beach. A big hurricane came roaring in, and blew all the hotel windows out! Then later on my Navy Med/IO deployment, 1983, we saw those buildings in Beirut.

Love all the new videos sir your the best I love watching your videos after a hard day of work

I love the stories you tell!

Another decent mre, some nice pictures and a lovely flashback, thanks Me Ancient 🙂

Great video as always thanks for the review

Hello and good morning I just stopped by to let u know how much I love your videos keep up the hard work and looking forward to the next one

Love your content, sir! Keep up the great work

My Sunday ritual thanks chief Ryan

Your stories would be great around an evening campfire.👍👍

The two legends hell yeah awesome

Thank you team. Keep up the good work. Your videos are the real Mcoy. Semper Fi

Fellow Marine here, Enjoying the content

These pictures are just 😮 Whoa, my goodness, and amazing photos, 😅 bad applesauce.

Thanks for the video! I looked back at the video of comparing chicken and noodle training meal to MRE, and in one of those meals you had apples with raspberry sauce or something similar. Perhaps the taste was similar to this MRE raspberry apple sauce, just a little fresher? Lol.

Another great video, that MRE was definitely stored right. I’m over here In east central Mississippi and can certainly sympathize with you on the HEAT!!! Blazing hot and humid.

One of my favorite mres.. Heat up the cheese and pour it into the pretzels!!!!

Your a brave man I wouldn't have ate the cheese

Thanks for the video me ancient. Great job 👍 God bless

Whats really a shame is Beirut used to be a paradise resort back in the day. Its come a long way back but will never be the same!

I throughly do injoy your wisecreacks n jokes andThank you for your sacrifice, courage,detitcation and for your service! Isalute youand your fellow comrades have / had several family in my linage / family history that served in the armed service and dated 1. Both of you should have the camera set the camera o na tripod and both of you would tell what it look like and what you think of each food as you pour them out of the packages Lol !! =D i tatsted an mre they tatste great thier a little expensive on Amazon

Thanks for another great video

Another wonderful video, Me Ancient. The heater in that MRE looked like it worked as it should. I wonder if putting the food pouch in first, then adding the water makes it work better, since the pouch displaces some of the water. Might be a more accurate way of measuring how much water goes in the heater, not sure. Possibly the citric acid in the raspberries caused the slightly off taste, since you mentioned that tomatoes don't stand up too well? Looking forward to more, loved the pictures, and the stories of the places you saw during your military service. God bless.

When you get a candy pack like M&M’s look for the good by date. They always print it on candies like that.

Those MRE looks delicious! Greetings from Spain!

Very cool Amigo! Good looking meal. M&M's held up well, no normal signs of age. That main, I have only tried once. It was A solid component. Over all, your meal looks excellent for the age Bro. Glad you enjoyed. Peace from Ky. John. Nicely done sir.

Hey brother! I was deployed to Beirut twice in 82 and again in 83, both times on the USS Guam. My first MRE was eaten at Beirut Airport in late 83! Before that, it was all C-rats. Semper Fi!

Love these mre videos guys!!

Awesome video

Thank you for a welcome diversion. This MRE was certainly well preserved. Back-to-back storms and a mandatory water release to prevent overpressure at a few of our dams have slowed us down with some flooding. We will venture out from our ark soon and get rocking. We are thankful that our home remained dry and for the internet that allowed us to check on the safety of relatives across town as well as friends on the other side of the globe.

That is amazing that you can eat an 18 year old MRE and it not taste bad.

Thank you for the upload my guy!!!

Hey for the next mre heat source you should double fold the top and sake it so water can go around around the heat pad sorry if it didn’t make sence

Watching you eat makes me realize how much Asa looks like you.

I'm pretty sure the impacts on the cinder block wall are from ak (762) rounds. Enjoying the conent keep it coming.

Always glad when you upload my friend. Thankful that you're doing okay and that you represent Christ on your KZfaq channel.

If I remember right this was a good one

One of the bumps on the horizon is certainly BB 62 USS New Jersey. "Firepower for Freedom".

Hello Me ancient. I love the videos. I also like when you are in aces videos. Also, what is the biggest fish you’ve ever caught? Mine is a 30 pound chinook salmon.

You throw the cardboard sleeves away but if you put the meal in the heater back in the box, it helps the heater bag stay closed and helps the heater heat the meal better.. Chocolate would have mixed better if you had used some hot water to get it hydrated then added the cold water it would have mixed so much better. Love your vlogs especially our stories.

If you could get your hands on the Menu #5 from around 2012, it's the Chicken Tomato Feta and it's one of my favorites. Would love to see what you think of it since some people love it and some people don't!

Cracking video as usual my good sir that actually looks a yummy MRE I have acquired a certain brand of candy bar you haven't had for 40yrs ill try and get them sent to you keep up the good work from joff the trucker in the UK

Now I wanna try military food

👍

Hey huge fan dude can u get the Chinese more done please

That was at one time the place to go!

Thank you for your service. How does one get the info to send you a MRE?

That cocoa beverage powder will always clump in cold water. It needs heat to melt the fats in it. The fats are for mouth feel and richness.

It was a storage warehouse next to a grain elevator that blew up.

Can you heat the cocoa beverage in that beverage bag and in the heater with the main maybe?

yummie

Hey Me Ancient, How are you? I really enjoy seeing the pics you have of Beirut. I don't remember seeing a Ferris wheel when I was there, was that on the north west side of town? I have a question for you, have you ever got' sick from eating those old MREs. I like to buy the 24 hr rations and take them to the job site and eat them for lunch. You should check out the 24 hr Zombie rations, if you want to try a modern ration. Take care.

The 2020 explostion wasnt a grain elevator it was a massive load of ammonium nitrate.

💥🇺🇸👍🏼🇺🇸💥

I read the title as Chex and noodles 😂

Ace is in the video!!

👍🏼👊🏼🦖🍺

Do u eat all of the food

I liked chicken a la king.

I have a feeling me ancient used an ar 15 rifle many times during fighting in operation desert storm

Looks real good for a 17 yr. old MRE. I have 6 MRE's from Desert Storm in the dark brown plastic. Would you be interested in testing one ? THX Steve

The chocolate looks like muddy water 😂

Are you afraid of the metal tasting? It shouldn't affect your health? Overall, good meal and thanks for sharing the pictures. Really interesting what people did at the time.

How do I send stuff to yall to test on video

You have any footage of you when you’re in the military because I want to see

he likes the matches, doesnt he\

Have you ever gotten sick from a mre

Wait, did he just call you Eric?

Have you ever gotten violently sick from an MRE

somehow I just love your reviews

Has eating an old MRE ever caused you to be sick the next day?
