If you don't laugh at the peanut butter bottom, you can't be human. 🤣🤣

I came for the MRE and stayed for the ”Me Ancient’s” stories. Thank you so much for sharing your stories while you were in service with us. I’m sure Ace and Micah are extremely proud of their dad.

That smile that spread on your face when you thought of the other story you were reminded of… I can’t wait to hear it!

your most definatly one of the most humerous and enjoyable and friendly elderly old men i have ever had a chance to witness in my life

I thoroughly enjoy these videos! Thank you for your service to our country and the glimpse into your military life.

I wanted to wish you a happy new year. Thanks for all the great content this past year.

SWEET! Just started the New Year off right! Thank you, Me Ancient, and wishing you a happy, healthy and peaceful 2023!

Happy New Years! Thanks for all the videos, always enjoy watching.

Missed yoir review vids over the holiday, but glad for this one

Always enjoy your stories about being in the military. Ive noticed the vegetarian mres usually have the best snacks.THANKS

Another gem thanks for the video chief have the happiest of new years !!

Happy New Year! Wishing you and your family every blessing for 2023. I loved today’s story, I could just picture poor Nolan lying there! Looking forward to next time. God bless you.

Another nice video! Me Ancient never seems to disappoint. Thank you for your service sir.

4:41 I love how you raised the volume of your dad saying "wipe the bottom off". These videos are generally not comical, but that gave me a good laugh!

Thank You for your Service. Just subscribed to your channel. I enjoyed this video. I enjoy MRE’s and have been amazed at their transformation over the years. It started for me with a “C Ration” given to me by my uncle when I was about 8. I miss a lot of the older “brown bag” MRE components that I thought were great. I remember a wet pack egg ration I got at my local surplus store many, many years ago that was great. Had no idea how old it was, just bought it and ate it. You’re now on my list of favorite channels. May God bless you in 2023. Simper Fi.

I hope you had a great Christmas, and have a Happy New Year! It was pretty cool that ration was edible after 16 years. I've never tried that menu. It's a shame they removed it as it sounds and looked pretty good. Loved hearing more of your memories of Marine life :) Another brilliant review :)

Another awesome mre which makes it a good start for 2023. Happy New Year,me Ancient 🙂

I’m really enjoying ur stories

Happy New Years guys!! My granddaughter had the same enjoyment for the ropes, towers, and repelling off the tower, at Ft. Jackson, SC. She didn't have your height advantage, but, she really did well. I believe that she told me the third way of going over the ropes, was to use the bottom rope, to actually walk in a side step fashion, keeping your elbows tucked close to your sides. She really liked BCT. Thanks for another great video, keep 'em coming in 2023. God bless.

Happy new year! Keep it coming.

Now I'm hungry! Happy new year and more epic reviews!

Great review. That was a “Thriller” of a video 🤣🤣. Thanks for sharing

Happy New Year Me Ancient!!! Looking forward to the new videos for the year!!! ✌️

I like the way you open the meals with prayer. The MRE's I remember were all freeze-dried

Happy New Year!! The peanut butter delivery was great! Semper Fi!

My dad got me hooked on the peanut butter, I think he got his "addiction" when he was in the Colonial war in Africa in the 60s, I love the stuff. Happy New Year to everybody by the way.

Ahh, the Walkman!! I was so happy when I finally got one!! Man, that was a while ago! Happy new year me ancient and family. Hope you all had a great Christmas as well.

Happy new year ^^ I don't comment to often because I am really shy but I respect that you do it, I'm a 4th generation army brat but I never served due to a severe injury in football in my youth, These are always fun :3

Happy new year sir ! Hope you and the family had an awesome holiday!

The hot beverage bag was used so you can heat the milk and heat the drink in the FRH. The sequence would be You would put the cold the dry, the dry ice with the coffee. The creamer the sugar into the beverage bag. Fill it up to the line with cold water so typically 63 oz fold the top haters over shaken up and then it would go in the FRH along with the hot with the main. So generally a lot of the time that would mean new gun dog VFRH by putting the heightens around it and then you at the items around. So you put here main meal in there and then you put your drink. Might put the main meal pouch outside on one side on the on the heat to survive side of their forage and the and the drink in the FRH and then hit that through and then initially what you could then do is literally take the FRH at the hot beverage bag. Put it into the box and open up the full back the lips of the the beverage bag back over the box. So you kind of fashioned a cup out of the box and then drink out of that receptacle? It's kind of weird

Happy New Year fellow Devil Dog! God bless you and yours!

Thank you for your service happy New year God bless 🙏 in 2023🎉

Happy New Year to you and your family🫡. Happy New Year to anyone else here. Everyone deserves a fresh start!

idk what it is sir, but you show the best characteristics ina father and your sons are lucky. thank your for your service and these videos.

Happy new year brother, keep those stories coming 😂 semper fi marine. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

That guy fell 20 feet and got back up and climbed it again...beast! It's amazing he didn't have to go to the ER. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I think this comes with a bag so you can heat it up, together with the meal, in the flameless ration heater. But I don't know that much about American MREs, in the Bundeswehr we used reusable Esbit stoves to heat up everything. The EPA came with the hot beverages coffee, tea and two hot meals, so it was designed to last at least 24h. I remember the meals were in thin metal sheet trays, so we could heat them up directly over the open flame of the cooker. But since 2018 the Bundeswehr uses the same bag design as the MREs, including bags for the meals itself. Now the coffee is better, in the old ones the instant coffee was nicknamed "German neutronbomb, human dies, cup remains intact".

@MeAncient thank you for showing off my slate again you are amazing. As always loved your video

Happy new year sir, glad your meal turned out well!

Happy New Year to you and your family!

Never been more early for anything in my life! Love you Me Ancient!

happy new year brother to you and your family wish you health, peace and and a lot of subscribers lol take care, your friend from quebec canada

Good video..👌

Happy New Year i pray you get warmer soon. 😆 i hope you have a great year. And be waiting for you guys to come back to south Florida.

I loved My trips to Norway. Beautiful country. Nothing wrong with listening Michael Jackson lol 💃 Happy New Year

Happy new year, well done.

We had C-Rations canned in the late 50's. Semper Fi and happy New Year.

Red beans and rice with andouille sausage is one of my favorites. I like jambalaya too.

Nice! I’m cooking dinner for my kids and like your videos keep up the good work guys

The benefit of the hot beverage bag is so you can use cold water, put the bag in the heater pouch with your main item, and heat both at once.

Lmao im laughing hard at that you’re the best when im feeling anxious man I appreciate these i hope you and your family are healthy here in 2023

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I laughed when you licked that spoon with the lemon lime powder on it and choked and said "Ohhh, it's like tasting MEDICINE!" like cod liver oil when I was a kid. Love your stories of the marine core, and it's so nice to hear for once that boot camp was FUN! Nice you helped out the other blokes up onto the platforms when you got up there

Happy new year two both of you and God bless. 👍🧡✝️🇺🇸🧡👍

Happy New Year May more good MRE come to taste !!!

Also, I just thought of the those beverage bags make great "dry bags" for anything you would like to keep dry. They're more durable than a ziplock bag and if you're in the field you can use them to take care of things such as the matches for instance.

Lost 40 lbs? Wow! My max allotted weight for my height (6'2") was 211, I got to basic at 205. Was a little soft but not in horrible shape. When I graduated I was 215, and I was very fit. They had to do the BMI "tape" test which I passed easy.

Good vid again mate, the beverage bag is to fill with water so you can heat it up in the ration heater! Greetings from scotland

Happy new year! God bless 🙏

Happy new year to all of you, Ancient!!! Today Is a strange day for a lot of people for the Lost of Pope Benedetto XVI. Anyway, thank you for sharing this enjoyable video. I'm really surprised that there was no dessert, a sweet one I mean.

Maybe you should look around and see if they have any holiday dinner MRE's ? But thank you for another awesome video I enjoyed them all

Looking forward to new reviews. Busting through 100K subscribers in 2023 would be great. Happy new year guys.

Awesome he mentions Arkansas I'm from there

Happy new year me ancient.

Happy new year!

yummie

I'd love a channel of you talking solely about your life in the marine corps. :)

Happy New Year! 🍾🎉🎊

Happy new year!!!//Anders

Happy New Year!

I think you are about my age...I remember 8 track tapes, then cassette tapes and CDs. I used to like my uncle's country music and bluegrass tapes. The tape would occasionally gettangled up and he was expert at taking them apart and fixing them. Johnny Horton and Johnny Cash were two favorites.

This guy’s stories always involve him hustling 😂

Happy new year 🎉 me ancient, hope you had a good one...I bought some peanut butter as I've watched many MRE videos...I forgot how dry it gets your throat..and I haven't ate any in 30yrs 😂

The idea behind coffee in the bag is putting the bag in the frh with the entree to heat both.

Those crackers are my favorite item of the MREs.

Shout out Arkansas !!!

Happy new year guys.god bless you all

I remember my first MRE'S didn't have any FRH, when they started putting them in you were supposed to fix the coffee in the beverage bag then put in the heater with the main to heat. I can honestly say I never liked lukewarm coffee 🤮 I hae a solid fuel stove we would use to make hot water as long as we weren't under blackout orders Simperfi and Happy New Year's.

Happy new year🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

First!! Love it.

I like Red Beans and Rice, but anything labeled "Cajun" I usually find too spicy. Love sausage, but not too spicy

Bonne année l ancien 🎉

“Wipe the bottom off” 😂😂😂

Happy new year me ancient, mika and ace. Can I get a shout out for dave, leanna and shanice on your next video. The girls love watching all your vids

Awesome video, just a small comment to help with the KZfaq algorithm, 👍

I feel bad I'm just leaving a comment. I watched you video when I got home from work but I can't comment on my tablet. Another Great video as always! I have one question, what's wrong with a "Marine's Marine" listening to Michael Jackson😆. Take care both of you, God's Blessings and Protection on my friends to the South.

Hey ancient .great stories .lan I still say why were we in the transition zone I had rats lrrp.freeze dried and m.r.e the old brown bag with littel or no food lol happy new yr guys plans tell Mika and your families

At that time there was no wars.

Should have used a little hot water to disoleve the sugar, then pour the cold water in

The one thing I noticed about PT in boot camp. You definitely noticed who didn't prepare by doing some training on their own. Those recruits fell out on everything. As a poolee our recruiter prepared us with runs and PT.

Try Taiwanese MRE because it taste really good😊

When you go to BC and are already physically fit you see things from a different perspective. The hardest thing for me was to not laugh all the time because DI's say the funniest things ever. The most intelligent shit-talking ever.

Marine Corps Boot Camp was nothing but fun. You lost 30 Lbs I gained 30. I went in with a weight waiver for being underweight at 5'9" and 108 Lbs, left at 145 lbs.

My Sr DI had the horse shoe talk about some strange hair cuts at least 25 yrs ago or better but I never saw the baby Huey curl I'm sad I missed it

Glad so much was edible. Imagine having to fall again lol, I know he didn't but being told to is funny.

Makes you wonder if that Sergeant moonwalked after drilling his new recruits to exhaustion?

I have a crazy question! I have always heard that the chewing gum was “laxative” because the food was so rich it could bind you up. Any truth to that? I love watching your videos I’m from southeast Oklahoma.

We used the hot beverage bag to keep our toilet paper, matches, etc. dry in Iraq. We definitely used our canteen cups for coffee. SEMPER FI.

The pretzels are combos

I just realized you are aces dad
