"That thing just squirted on me! That really got all over me. As he kept going, it literally started squirting directly at me like it was a hissing snake...Now I'm scared of it, I don't want it in my eyes" - Karl, 2017

Gun Lucifer hath declared the mre a pestilence of rot and decay

lets get this onto a tray *nice*

"Untranslatable Meat". That's one of the most worrisome phrases I've ever heard.

"Untranslatable Meat" is my new favorite InRangeTV quote. You should put that on a T-Shirt.

So, you've got 2007 production MRE with its predicted shelf life 2 years (it's usually that for canned food here in Russia), making its "best before" date 2009. No wonder it went bad over 5 times longer than it was supposed to be stored. Though, if you store this in below zero temperature, its shelf life can extend up to 25-30 years. About the cans. First one was canned sausage meat. Next one was stewed beef (with fat on top of it), then - rice with pork, and one left untouched - pearl barley with beef. Mystery "rock" packet was solidified concentrated drink, sort of in between energy drink and juice.

The mistake you made was not having a bottle of vodka on hand to swig after each bite thus sterilising any bacteria

From my experiences with US military rations I can only imagine what that all smelled like. The first half of this was absolutely hilarious with Ian going from "this isn't bad" to "OMG what is the number for poison control" keep up the great videos guys.

RIP InRange

Steve1989 should come on and identify all the mystery meat

MRE = Mystery Russian Eat

I like how you can tell Karl's thinking of serving to the dog to see if it's poison.

I love how Ian is trying to figure out the proper way to open the tin, and Karl just takes it and stabs it with a knife.

I have a lot of experience eating old canned foods. I have not made myself sick once, so I have some tips. First, inspect the outside of the can. Rust spots, ditch it. bloating, ditch it. Then open the can. Bad food smell, gone. Musty, gone. Spots of discoloration not expected from what the contents should look like, throw it out. Then, as you did, take a small bite. If it tastes bad, do what you did. Spit it out and d not eat. Now these basic rules may take out a few good but strange tasting foods, but small price to pay for not getting a nasty bug. I have eaten canned goods as 1954 without problem.

Karl: "Has it been touched by evil?!" Ian: "Naaaah, you will be fine." Love it.

I was first like "2007 was pretty much yesterday" then I realized that it was 10 years ago and wondered where those years went. I still had two eyes back in 2007...

i want to hear more maniacal ian laughter

10:50: "Every Russian person watching this laughing at us" Но ведь действительно смешно :/

Whoever gave this to Karl in Ian may have done it to assasinate them.

Karl, Ian, your squeamish antics are adorable. As a child of the north, my memory recalls pantries full of canned venison with thick white caps of suspended tallow. It was just canned beef.

Is this a “How to get botulism educational video?”

All food was sourced near Pripyat.

Okay here is translation of MRE package 1 Army Crackers 2 Canned meat 3 Canned mince meat (That small can of meat) 4 Canned meat with some barley (?) 5 instant tea 6 concentrate drink 7 sugar 8 apple jam or chocolate-nut paste 9 vitamins (not a cyanide) 10 portable stove 11 can opener 12 napkins

Two guys reacting to mystery rations and Ian's laugh just made my day a whole lot better. Thanks for such entertaining content.

The inclusion of exactly 3 sheets of toliet paper is hilarious!

Because of this video I watched 16 hours of steve1989s videos on my days off.

The meat stuff, believe it or not, looked nothing out of the ordinary. And the final can you didn't open was buckwheat with beef.

Russian or Rancid? Do I smell a new series?

It’s reviews like this make me appreciate my Patreon support! (along with all the other stuff, of course) Truly, not you’re father’s KZfaq channel.

8:45 Man, I dunno if this makes send but Ian WOULD be the the type to have a flip cover on his phone lol.

I would love to see Ian,Karl and Steve doing an MRE video together !! anyways great review guys !!

This was hilarious. I really hope y’all don’t die I rather enjoy your channels.

All the post-soviet countries put so-call "тушенка" (stewed meat) into their rations. The US was supplying this type of provisions (over 2 BILLLION cans) as land-lease during WW2. You made it right not taking probe of the hissing cans. Butulism is a real thing. It used to haunt post-soviet contries for a while. avmalgin.livejournal.com/2623966.html

Russian MRE contains nothing but vodka and spirit of motherland.

....Nice!

The food videos are really entertaining and educational guys. Please keep them coming.

Excellent film work, panning over the food stuffs with the lovely orchestrated sounds. I smell Oscar, and Oscar needs to take a bath.

A wild, hungry Doggo appears... 3:49 :-D

Press F to pay respects to our fallen unknown MREs

What i love about this is the way you guys are going about it, is just so normal. Thus it's just a WTF is this, oh god what is that. This was really just a fun entertaining video.

Your reactions are hilarious xD I'd love to see you guys try more mres!

I think you were supposed to cook the stuff from the tins.

Skip to 3:49 for doggo.

This video makes me happy! Random often makes for some of the best content.

This is like the best channel doing the best content now. Please do more MRE reviews.

Ahh, thats bring memories. During my service in Russian army I had tried this a few times, and I have some warm memories about this MRE. We evenen tried once to steal a pair of this MRE from officers, mostly because of jam, sugar, tee and crackers. Some of items were not nice or even gross, but in the most it had pretty nice meal in it, especialy in compare of this www.google.be/search?q=бикус&dcr=0&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj88fnhvaDYAhWNK1AKHds_A-sQ_AUICigB&biw=1920&bih=986 This is some sort of Bigos or a hunter's stew, according to a wiki. I had tryed this only once, after that I almost literally awoke in infirmary. The rest time when I saw that I preferred to eat bread with tea or staying starving. But the rest of the food were kind of okay, but that differs from base to base - where is many people, usualy food sucks. And yeah, its okay first few weeks, but y always eat the same food, and y begin to hate it even if the food selfs is fine. That was the most problem. And yeah, our officers told us that Bigos is fine and we are lucky that we didn't taste "bears fat". No idea what that is.

I know it's been a while at this point, but here's a full translation of the manual: Instructions for usage, Individual Daily Food Ration. (The serial number indicates 2003 standard, so your 2007 package date is plausible, interestingly enough there's a field on the front of the main package that has the expiry date field, and that field is left blank. The ingredient list suggests ИРП-П-6. 24month storage time, yours is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy expired) Ration Contents: 1. Army crackers, 1/50g. x6. 2. Canned meat 1/250g. 3. Canned meat, ground, 1/100g. 4. Canned meat with grain, 1/250g. x2 5. Tea, instant, with sugar 1/16g x2 6. Drink mix 1/25g 7. Sugar 1/15g x2 8. Fruit jam 1/45g x2 OR nut/chocolate paste 1/50g x1. 9. Multivitamin tablet. 10. Portable heater (stove). 11. Can opener. 12. Napkins, paper. x3 Below are instructions of using the portable stove, statement that canned meat can be consumed both cold and heated, instruction to use 200ml of boiled water for the drink mix, and to use crackers in place of bread. Dessert is to be opened only immediately prior to consumption, tea is to be prepared with hot water, vitamin tablet is to be consumed at breakfast.

this is one of my favorite in range vids!

That was hilarious. Merry Christmas guys!

RIP Karl Press F to pay respect

The doge is like "HEY.........you gonna eat all of that??"......"Russian Botulism with naked pork.....NO?....sounds so good though...

I don't know what took me by surprise more. Karl effectively laughing out loud (which I've never heard him do, let alone that loudly) when the second tin popped, or his incredulous tanline at 5:40

I so love your content, this made my boring day at work happier! THANK YOU GUYS P.S: Cute dog

Steve1989 is probably screaming at his laptop right now

Inside limited shelf life those are very good rations. Keeps you going even in cold weather. And they don't keep as well as US MREs, because they are not chock full of preservatives and chemicals.

@4:38 "was there a hiss?" "....No." man you guys are cracking me up with the Steve1989 references. 😂

Woo! I was waiting for you guys to do a ration! I eat these all the time, the russian ones are all really similar. Fairly good when fresh, but get bland after a while. If you ever want some really good rations, I recommend the UK's, France's, or Poland's (poland's are consistently good). Keep up the good work, and happy holidays fellas!

"has that been touched by evil" 🤣

I doubt y'all still got the food. It would have been cool for you guys to pass it off to a lab and have them run tests on it to see it if was actually "bad" or just foreign and weird to us Americans.

I really enjoyed this new episode on Forgottendigestiveilnesses

"This is.... with beef" still cracks me up every time 5 years later

5:27 "No hiss, Nice" Steve1989MREInfo

Nice!

You two have to do more MRE reviews 😄 funny as hell

Just discovered Steve and now these guys are talking him up. So cool. Nice.

The pork and rice might have been Curry, or Karl needs to go to the hospital...

Merry Christmas from Scotland lads!

The subtle humor in this one was great.

Both of you really have fun...

If it was packed in 2007 im afraid it was expired, this MRE usualy expires in like 2-3 years, tho im kinda sure it wasn't that bad, i tried some expired ones in army and it waf fine, ofc they wasn't 10 years old but still. As for crackers, it's not realy usual ones, it's called "Galety", basicly it's like a bread replacement, they are pretty much tasteless.

"I don't know if it's Bad-Bad, or just Russian food bad". You win the internet with that line.

I love it when a channel I watch mentions another channel I watch that have no prior connection!

Very amusing crossover... Good idea teaming up with the Steve man.

I know you said you wanted to do a series on medical treatments, but I don’t think you were talking about parasites and botulism.

Guys, those IRPs are good for only 2 years. Your pack is long expired

LOL.... 1. if there are two people that can redefine (destroy) a MRE review, then it is you. 2. You are no where near brave as Steve 3. You made the most enjoyable (to watch) MRE video! And my day!

My fridge malfunctioned (35° summer down here in Argentina) and I was throwing out rotten food while playing your video in the background. I felt part of the brotherhood of spoiled pork.

Karl flinching from food being opened and Ian's laugh just made it for me. I haven't laughed so hard in ages!

The entire time watching this all I could think was "Please don't eat that."

In Russia MRE eats you 5:35

Hmm nice hiss! Merry christmass to you guys!

Ians' laughter when the can sprayed is awesome

А ну, чики-брики и в дамки!

Без водки - это просто приём пищи, а не обед. Шутка. Интересно было услышать мнение из-за океана. Мир!

This episode was a thing of beauty

So glad you guys know Steve. My three favorite people on KZfaq.

the first can (the squirter) says "beef", the last can says "road porridge, pearl barley with beef", the small can that says "фарш" means "minced meat", the "fat" on top of the beef from the first can is not fat but dough, the same as you would find on pirogi, the faded green packet is probably a lollipop-jawbreaker type of thing, the "cyanide capsule" is a vitamin pill. generally speaking, Russian food of that quality is bad.

I look forward to seeing more episodes of "Is it bad or is it just Russian?"

I’m glad you mentioned Steve 1989, I was about to say “let’s put this out on a tray, Nice!”

I love these MRE videos please do more

You have to heat the meat, and Carl stopping crying =)

"We now live in a world of filth and danger." -Karl when visiting Baltimore

Hey are you guys thinking of doing a mudtest on the sharps xpb bcg? It seems like the lighting cuts might helps ingress but the bolt itself is supposed to design to clear junk or of the lugs. I just bought one and didn't realize until washing you other videos that no one's actual test that those aspects of it. Keep up the good quality videos

As a Russian viewer it was super fun to watch. :) I'm not gonna comment what you done wrong or right since it's long away video. But I do get expired rice and meat one time in one kind of this MRE. Like it was gone. And it was not expired by the time on the box, but after heating it up it was mind blowing bad smell I just dumped it on the ground.

Glad to see you actually concerned about your food quality. Someone needs to explain to Steve1989MREinfo what botulism toxin is. That guy eats WW2 MRE's

Please do this more often! :D

We need more vids like this

I don't know why this came up in my recommendations again, but the comedy was great. 🤣
