Howdy folks, this video is a bit longer than usual. The material itself was so astounding, that not going into detail on as much as possible would have been nothing short of a waste. These are most likely the absolute freshest WW2 B-units still in existence. They were preserved in storage up in Alaska and along with the $3,147 purchase I also got a case of the last Ration, Individual, Trail Frigid TF-2 known of in any collection. A few things were repeated in this video, like the word perfect. (I have a thesaurus so no real excuse can suffice) And also a couple of the facts, factory makes, & whatnot. It is also likely to be re-released in parts or a shorter version for folks who prefer shorter videos. Now to messages! Perfect way to take a couple days off from editing..woohoo! See you guys on the next video - I promise it won't take 30 years like this one.

At the end of the day, when I have to desensitize and breathe my severe anxiety away, your content is on my list of things I watch.

Hi, Steve: I think you are, in all probability, underestimating how well-manufactured these and other ration cas are. When I was in The British Army ,mid-60s to late 70s, we had cans that looked identical to the ones you describe here als having "a golden laquer". The cans we had(and still do when cans are included, are MUCH better than merely laquered, as I suspect US ration cans will equally as well made. The " laquer" on our cans was cadmium, a metal that does not corrode AT alll, and which is easily applied to tins by electroplating then inside and out. As long as the ultra-thin layer off cadmium remains unworn and unscratched,, the steel beneath will NEVER rust. When serving, I'd opened cans 20+ years old, and they were perfect inside, so props to the manufacturers, and to those nations who use them to preserve field rations. Great channel--stay healthy! ::-)

One day we came across a large scatter of hundreds of Vietnam era C Rations and John Wayne can openers. Most of the cans were rusted through, but some seemed intact. We opened a few of those and they still had a vacuum seal. All of the meat cans were bulged and spoiled, but we actually tried some with crackers, chocolate. They were not rancid and fine. Some had cocoa powder that smelled rancid. I still have some of those canopeners on my key rings. Love your Chanel ❤️

@charlieanddadreviewsandcha2243 Жыл бұрын

@@pretzelstick320 I agree. People used to make stuff that lasted. Improving quality of life. Less work. More family time. Then corporations decided that the bottom line was far more important. So things that have pre determined expiration dates. Increased work hours. Because if it all breaks you have to keep producing. But the money keeps flowing which keeps people buying inferior things and the money rolls in. The price isn’t less because of this. They have you over a barrel. So they can continue to cut cost and up the price. While making more money and paying their workers stagnant wages all while saying we don’t have the money to pay the worker more. The whole $15 dollars an hour to do min wage jobs in a lot of places now is basically the equivalent of the 7-8 dollars it used to be. Because the same product now costs maybe 3-5 dollars more than it used to if not more.

@jennatavares4695 11 ай бұрын

It's because capitalism requires us to consistently throw out stuff and buy new stuff. By the 90's and early 2000s, quality of items had dropped drastically. Like I still have my Grammas dresser from her marriage in the 1950S, but you can't do that with modern furniture because it's all made of tagboard and cheap plywood. Even "hardwood" is usually a lie today, it's usually rubber wood with wood veneer. Corporations began noticing that people didn't throw out their stuff for new trendy stuff like was hoped, so they began making worse and worse quality items from appliances to furniture to clothing and shoes and electronics. And then they took away our right to repair by adding tech to vehicles that require THEIR technician to fix or added parts and screws you can only get from them/the tools to open them, while charging astronomical amounts for the stuff to repair your item. Like a battery replacement kit from Apple is hundreds of dollars and weighs 40 pounds, and you can't fix the screen yourself because you need both a screen matching your individual IMEI number otherwise itll shut down the phone, the calibration tool, AND the Y shaped screwdriver you get through Apple. So then it's easier to throw away stuff that fix it so they keep you buying. At the end of the day, it all comes down to greedy people at the top intentionally sabotaging everything we own to fall apart in a few years so were forced to buy from them

The rarity of these artifacts may lead some to believe that they shouldn’t be interfered with, but these videos will expose the information to many many more people from the present to far in the future than otherwise would’ve had the opportunity to see it themselves.

My favorite thought about this is that as I watch it I think about how much the American citizens rationed their lives so that a front line soldier could enjoy a little bit of home with a Kraft caramel or an National Empress (Nabisco) biscuit. And then enjoy a good cup of coffee and a cigarette.. That ration is more than a field ration.. It's a symbol of the United States of America and the sacrifice made back then to support our military
