2013 British 24hr Cold Climate Operational Ration Pack MRE Review Special Forces Meal Testing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 апр 2025
- Check out this review on a very rare British 24hr Cold Climate Operational Ration Pack - used by Royal Marines and other troops in arctic conditions. Containing 4,200 calories, yet only weighing 3 pounds, this 24hr Cold Weather MRE is the gold standard in modern Cold Weather Ration Packs.
Stay tuned, gnarly Rations from the 60's (with smokes!) coming up in 5 days. Before then, I am working on a Polish SRG-3 Single Meal, Canadian IMP Pork with Wine Cream Sauce, and also getting a Czech BDP-1 in the works. So stay tuned! -Steve

LET'S GET THIS OUT ONTO A TRAY, NICE™
NICE HISS™
I'LL BE COMING BACK AT YOU WITH SOMETHING NEW OR OLD, ALRIGHT COOL SEE YA™
"Lets get this out on a tray...Nice" I never get tired of that
Wayne Taylor I even look forward to hearing it
Wayne Taylor especially the jump cut, it's very-nice, alright!
I`m cooking Christmas dinner for my mom this year, I just know that when I serve up I`m going to say, "Hmmmm, lets get this out on a tray....Nice". :-)
Puts a big stupid grin on my face every time. :)
Wayne Taylor so satisfying every video
I watch these videos to help me fall asleep, sometimes.
Not saying they are boring, just relaxing somehow. Helps me get my mind off of other things.
it's probably his voice it's soothing
Doing it right now!
Yeah, it's something about the way he describes things. He's Tolkien-esque lol
Check out ASMR videos, might be your thing. :)
Watch It Melt I do the same with him and other calm youtubers
When I was out in the field with the Americans in 04 the first thing we did was swap MREs. As much as I love UK MREs, the best ones are any but your own. The Americans even agreed with each other that they now understand why us Brits drink tea. It is by far the best way to calm your nerves after a day of scanning mortar fire, chilling out with the boys at last light and reflecting on the day. It's the time to have a laugh and laugh. You can't beat a good cup of tea... Unless it's a pint of beer 😎
Thanks fart sniffer
Ah a fellow (11C) 81mm & 120mm mortar maggot here 2/22 inf 10th Mountain Division
FART SNIFFER
Bro your name is literally fart sniffer how am I gonna actually think you're fr
You just got your 500th like, you're welcome.
With the way he raves about MREs I would love to see Steve review a three star restaurant
Brandon or a McDonald's even 😂
“Truly delectable”
wb airplane food
He would hate it. No tray.
Nice
one of steve's underrated line... "right off the bat"
every time I piss off my cat now....
"Nice hiss"
100th Mind LMAOOOOO
100th Mind LOL
Nice!
DaddyOsInk Let's get this out on to a tray...
Niiiice. Alright. See ya.
As a Brit, it pleases me that you found the combination of Tea and Digestives! They're an amazing combination.The perfect duo for when you are marching around in the cold. Great video!
Tea and biscuits are literally a tradition in Britain. Brits take their biscuits very seriously. During the recent flooding in May, there was a shortage and they literally flew in two plane cargoes as an emergency supply. If you get in between a Brit soldier and his tea and biscuits, you might get bayonetted ;)
TheJohn8765 I dont like Tea much but I have to say that a cup of tea with chocolate biscuits is a great combination. I hate tried them with expresso coffe but with tea is much better. I love Jazmim tea is the only one I can drink without upsetting my stomach. :)
Hob Nobs.
Harry Coleman loo9
English Heart YES!
Steve confronting angry Rattlesnake:
“Hmm, nice hiss.”
"Nice, lets get that on a tray"
@wil edge lol
actually hilarious
HAHAH LMAO LLLLLOLLLL OMG SO FKIN ORIGINAL OMG ROFL
Hmm, oh wow! That'll cleanse your pallet. Hmm, what a great meal. Hmm, for hungry soldier out in the cold, hmm this is a great pick me up. Hmm it almost tastes like chicken with a slightly gamey taste. Hmm, that's a great main course full of protein. Hmm Oh wow, Hmm. That's great, hmm.
Never get tired of the Enthusiasm he has in every video. Its nice that his love for history is so evident. Also the "Nice!" and "Nice hiss"
It's worth mentioning, you're very skilled at pouring, Steve.
The left and right hot water pour
And the double pour.
Agreed
shout out sean ranklin
He is also very skilled at holding his tray with one hand.
Steve: Let's get this on to a tray
Both my daughters: NICE!
Rob Houston that's. So me and lol
I taught my dog to bark when he says that
Wait what ?
😂😂😂😂😂
wholesome!
As a Brit, that hot chocolate with an orange flavour is quite familiar. It just works, great in winter too. Instant comfort.
Nice! :D
Tilveran Terrys Chocolate Orange Hot Chocolate? Got a jar sat in my cupboard 😏
Ryan Maverick you wanna mix that with some hot whole milk,topped of with some light “skooshy” cream for a truly decedent experience!
@@straightwhitemale3388 that's an amazing name for squrity cream
this was accidentaly discovered by british citizen Tom Edwards III when his freshly peeled orange felt into pot of hot cocoa pudding.
the next day brits invented porrige with berries and thats why is half of this MRE similar to some vegan buffè.
We're a bit crap when it cones to main meals, but we're absolute champions at breakfast, snacks and desserts 😂
Wow the British mre looks great. They did a great job selecting the contents. I want one now
@Shaun Cushing well I completely disagree, best in the world to me though being British myself I'm biased of course, maybe it's a to-each-their-own personal taste thing
British ration packs are good but nice to swop when your with soilders from other countries.
Its a great way to make friends
Jack Bauer I may be late but MRE Mountain is my place for foreign rations
"Smarties are just Canadian M&Ms"
Brits: *Seething in tea*
Albeit made in Poland nowadays.
Boiled candy too.
Like many things. Have a nice brexit!
Brexit is great for them, we might have been enemies in ww2 but i wish the best for their people
Smarties are British
no.. m n m's are canadian smarties! british smarties came first by around 30 years :)
I sometimes watch these videos when I’m anxious. It’s the oddest therapy I can conceive of.
I enjoy these videos when my mental health is going down hill as well. The video is so "safe" and easy to watch.
I gotta start buying MRE'S this looks better than what i usually eat.
more expensive though
yeah ive said that before, even the humanitarian strews are better than the crap i eat
It would cost under £20 to eat like this for a week, way cheaper to make it yourself
Yep
Obviously. Since that freeze-dried stuff takes a lot of effort and energy to make. This is engineered food.
pity they don't do a Christmas ration for you to review.lets get this out on a sleigh!
Hmm saw what you did there
Nice!
nice
Nice! Mmkay
Nice!
It's amazing how I had no interest or knowlege in rations and then I watched a video of yours from the suggestions and it's one of the best youtube decitions i've ever made. Thanks steve!
I love the way Steve says "nice" after putting the food on the tray! "Nice" I find myself saying nice throughout my day. Really enjoy these videos. Helps me fall asleep.
Those boiled sweets are strangely addictive. The Beef jerky is only in about 2 packs from the menu of over 20, and was worth it's weight in gold on exercise.
I think the boiled sweets have nicotine in it to combat smokers addiction
@@beepthemeep12 they also contain morphine to combat aches and pains for soldiers
I've heard amphetamines is a key ingredient
Also heroin for tanginess
Nice...another mre gift from Steve! Thanks for working so hard! We all appreciate how many hours you pour into this (most in the editing phase) and we can see the quality work you do!
Everythingisdull He probably goes right into editing after eating these. Long hours of editing fortified by some 'Nice' MRE food xD
When you've been back packing for three days straight in cold rain/snow and everything is wet... getting in your tent with a warm Mtn house and a hot water bottle for your foot box... heaven.
The way you say "let's get this out on a tray," always makes me happy. Love your vids, bro.
Biltong!?!?! omf from SA at 20:27 april 10th 2021 my day has been made, thank you steve.
Every time I see one of those cans of peanuts I imagine a couple with spring snakes in them somewhere among the thousands. I am a sick man.
Never thought I would get so much enjoyment out of watching a grown man eat military food, but I seriously can't get enough of these videos.
In regards to tea, if you've got a sore throat, I've found that melting/mixing up a cough drop or two in it helps a lot.
Honey is really good and (this shocked me when my dr told me) apple jelly melted in your tea is very good for sore throats. Something about pectin in apple jelly is very soothing to your mucus membranes. At least my old doc claimed.
A big plus is while little kiddos might not drink a hot tea with a good cough lozenge in it so far, my little grandkiddos will drin a warm tea with a bit of honey and apple jelly in it. 🙂
Got a beer and Another MRE review from Steve... life is good 👍
.... I'm addicted to these videos. I have been watching for 3 days non-stop after work. I think I'm going to invest in importing some myself just so I can say "Lets get this out on a tray...Nice". Live in South Africa... might be a little expensive but it just looks so awesome to try out.
I'm always impressed with how much they cram into these
These videos never fail to make me hungry, and that is a good thing!
Don't start watching this, I don't know why but this channel is more addictive than crack cocaine.. Its kind of strange sometimes repulsive but it keep watching and i dont know why xD
Michael Teusch I've stayed up way past my bedtime watching these vids. it's almost as addicting as anime xD
Michael Teusch tell me about it, I found this channel this morning and have been glued to my phone all day burning through every video
It’s really addictive to watch!!! Even makes me wanna buy mre’s!!!
I know right? It's so weird, but I think it all boils down to waiting for Steve to say "Nice". I don't understand it, it's just so satisfying!!!
One of us! One of us!
"Nice" always brings a smile to my face!
IDK why but this channel feels like ASMR with the water pouring and all LOL
This guy loves this stuff like its a 10 course meal at the four seasons. Life must be wonderful for him if he can experience so much joy from a military ration. Its refreshing to watch.
Best MRE reviewer on youtube, keep it up dude.
I was so incredibly bored, and then one of your videos showed up.
Are you my guardian angel?
Steve1989 MREinfo oh thank you!
I. Love. Everything about your videos. From your catch phrases to your explanation of why you would pair things for which meal--it's all so good! It's quite obvious how passionate you are about MREs, and I must say I didn't realize this was a thing until I stumbled on your account.
You are extremely eloquent describing the flavors of things, and your pallet is pretty sophisticated, I must say. I'd love to see a miscellaneous video of you trying different wines and getting your take on them.
Something about the technology behind MREs and the fact that they are survival food makes them more appetizing. My friend got a bunch from working hurricane Sandy relief and they are awesome and filling.
FierceDeityRick I lived off those during Sandy for almost a month. Having no heat or power made me appreciate the heating units they come with. A hot meal makes a huge difference.
@@trontosaurusrex9532 did your poop turn green? mine did after a week of nothing but U.S. MREs.
@@gulfrelay2249 probably from all the preseratives.
@@avian68tb nah. It's to camouflage your turds.
You always give such interesting reactions to the different rations. I get hungry with your description of different foods. Thanks for the entertainment.
Definitely my favorite MRE reviewer doing good work right here. It's a pleasure to watch each and every one.
This is one of the few channels I get legitimately excited about when you have a new upload. Nice!
REALLY WISH I COULD TRY
I must say this is the best edited video I've seen in a long time in the reviews themed sector. Highlight: 17:48 (LOL) I'm tagging this for myself so I can always go back.
Asger
1:07 I thought that said "CAT DIGESTIVE BISCUITS" lol
Good for hairballs...
Lol
Same
SnowyOwl lmfao
You know you're in good hands when Steve says, "alright; let's get this out onto a tray."
well done in calling it jam, instead of 'jelly'.
Cameron Hunter Jam, jelly, and preserves all refer to different things
Jam is when there are seeds/pulp and jelly when there are not (just juice), correct?
TheJohn8765 Jelly is just a jam that has a strong thickening agent - interestingly enough the further east you go in Europe the runnier the jam gets
signs80 no, because Americans call jam 'jelly' and they call jelly 'jello'.
Nah he was right, they refer to different things. Americans have jam too, they just don't eat it as often as they eat jelly, which is like a cheaper version of jam with less fruit
It's always a real treat when a RUclips notification pops up and it turns out to be an MRE review by you.
Steve, you always make my day. Always appreciate the enthusiasm!
Watching Steve take the things out of the bag is like watching my kids with their stockings on Christmas Day.
😆👍
This dude is a trip. Great job you make MREs more interesting, and the commentary is hilarious. Keep it up.
your voice is calming I just went to sleep keep up the good work Steve.
Love the way he says "cool" like "kewl"
Steve, you should get some t-shirts made with "let's get this out onto a tray....nice!" and your logo. I would buy one :D
minitruckinyota word
Or "Nice Hiss"
11:03 "Heh, look at that guy" It's the little things like that you do that make your channel the best MRE channel on youtube..that and your signature "Nice!"
You're the only American i can watch eat British food without cringing, thank you so much.
I took a British ration pack with me on D of E. My main meal was Lamb Curry. Yum!!
Sits patiently for the 3:21 mark like a dog waiting for a ball to be thrown. "Nice!"
Daniel Vance I'm right with you
I was hoping a big spring snake would pop out of the peanuts can.
Nice hiss
@@monoxidepoisonwolf6124 lmao
I love how you sound like an informed dudebro. On top of that your descriptioms are really nice and your cuts are so oddly smooth and nice. Keep up the good work dude.
I like the way Steve puts his hand behind small things so the camera can focus. A lot of YTers could learn from this. I think 150ml of water would have been enough in the porridge. British chocolate beats American any day!
Blackcurrant is delicious. Makes great jam, and blackcurrant flavoured sweets are the best!
Chocolate and orange is also a great combination.
Smarties are a British invention, made since 1937, originally by a company called Rowntree until they got bought out by Nestle.
I watch the ads for you
NIIICE!!!
Steve the way you describe your meals and are so descriptive is refreshing. Kinda like a very sought after food critic or aficionado. Nice
Please never quit youtube. You are my fav youtuber!
The good coffee was by Kenco - and it's superior in every way to Nescafé, which is pretty much on the lower level of instant coffee in the UK. Kenco tastes like good coffee, but Nescafé has a cheap, anodyne taste.
Wow, amazing editing, you get straight to the point!
Not seeing an empty tray at the end on these older videos is triggering me. This is my safe space, Steve! Eat it all!!!
This literally made me giggle out loud lol 😂😂
SAME! rawr
Pro tip: add about 1.5 - 2oz less water to the rice pudding. It's best when it's juuuuust on the edge of being clumpy, but is smooth and partially gelatinized. Trust me :)
Master tip: a little bit of cinnamon or nutmeg on top REALLY takes it to the next level.. but probably not ever going to find that in a ration lol even a little crushed peanut w/honey and/or raisins is fire, ration based or not.
You're the man, Steve!!!!
Every time I watch these videos, I get hungry and want to try everyone 😂 but man, you're taking some chances with food from like 50 years ago. There's a fascinating atmosphere of impending death. Like when people used to watch Evil knievel. They wanted to see death! Not the jump 😂 these videos are awesome! I'm addicted.
I've had the porridge and cinnamon bun in the same MRE menu before. The porridge always seemed a bit lacking...a bit bland to me, so my buddies and I would either crumble half the cinnamon bun, or in cases where we didn't have the bun we would crumble cookies or shortbread into the porridge. 100% better. You've got to give it a try next time.
Sounds like it'd be good for a soldier's morale.
Damn, this looked like a good ration. Nice! I almost wanna get into trying some rations myself.
Drunk Not I Am they’re actually decent, wouldn’t want to live on it every day but, I’ve just finished British MRE MENU 14 and it was nice
Steves vouce us so calming and relaxing.
Your videos never cease to make me happy, Steve ❤
The reason most of the cold weather rations come in ziploc bags is for bathroom/washroom use. If you're in or near the arctic heading out of the tent to answer the call of nature can result in frostbite to important parts. So the bag is used until it's nearly filled (resealed between uses) then tossed out of the tent.
Those "M&Ms" are definitely smarties - with the pale colours, likely off-brand.
And they aren't just in Canada! haha
Yup. M&Ms as the default candy coated chocolate is an American thing. Smarties everywhere else on the planet. I prefer smarties, myself.
Canada gets the best of both worlds, though, because we get American smarties as well, they're just called "Rockets" here. Woohoo!
We used to throw them at each other and shout "Rocket attack"
shepd3 Trade you my smarties for your beef jerky...not into sweets myself
We got M&Ms, as well a Smarties in Germany, though.
wtf!?!?
It really makes me laugh seeing you get excited over Kenco coffee and Typhoo tea. They are staples in British households - along with the digestive biscuits!
And repeat.
Pleasant -Wow - Cool - Natural - Delicious
Love his commentary.
Starting the day off right with a steve archive video
nice!
Well today just became #nice. Hope tonight will go #alright! Great vids man.
rof
Steve: Typhoo tea
Captions: Thigh bootie
Mix up the peanuts, "M&Ms", and broken up fruity oatie biscuits for an all-day trail mix. I think a good bit of this is meant to be eaten on the move, but with Steve's layout, that wouldn't work for presentation. Besides, if he didn't put all the stuff on the tray, his fans would revolt!
BTW, I have been binge-watching these videos for three days now. IDK why they are so addictive, but he has a new subscriber!
I can't get enough of these videos.
You know i love watching you eat British mres they put some amazing things in there
Woah, that Cinnamon Bun is packaged 20 minutes from my house. Never knew that they did that over there.

Mitch L lol
Mitch L Could you do a lore video behind why is "Chile con Carne" in spanish?
Very nice !
Watching back on old vids. He said "alright" instead of "m'kay" after "gettin' it out onto a tray lmao. Love this channel
Thank you Steve1989, serving the country one MRE at a time.
When he calls the smarties M&Ms, Canadian triggering begin
Are you a triggered Canadian?
smarties are from the UK.
I'm Canadian and I would have called them M&M's lol that's what they look like
www.yupik.ca/en/our-products/chocolates/branded/smarties-nestle.html
They aren’t even Canadian, they are British. But Canada is in the commonwealth so that may be why they have them over there
Watching someone eat expired food at 1:30 in the morning. Yep...that's my life.
Lord Blackworth At least it's hilarious.
@@cameronnorton5898and absolutley
@@cameronnorton5898 Nice
Mountain House packs are viable for >15 years.
1.30am are rookie numbers its 3.30am and I show no signs of stopping
That's a boatload of components!
I would have loved to have seen the jar of peanuts being filled with the little spring snake. Add humor to the MRE. I would have cried from laughing. Nice hiss indeed.
The memories of AST Clockwork in Bardufoss come flooding back. -20 in a tent a week after Christmas. Happy times 🥺
It really hurt me when he said Smarties are Canadian. They’re English😢
They're also a few years older than m&ms
@@davidsmart8594 i mean, they were made originally in England
They don't sell them in US unless it's an imported food but they do sell them in Canada. But they're definitely English
Typhoo is a weak brand of tea here in the UK, if your ever in a British shop in the US try getting your hands on Yorkshire Tea or PG Tips
Nathan Waite Yorkshire tea all the way!
Ken the Yorkshireman definitely, strong with just a touch of milk, two sugars and hobnobs (or closest military equivalent) for me
Ken the Yorkshireman whereabouts in Yorkshire d'you hail from by the way? :)
Nathan Waite i agree
They sell Yorkshire tea almost everywhere in America! :D
*When you watch any of his Videos*
*Nice*
Your videos always make me smile! So relaxing
I used to steal every cranberry cereal bar I could get my hands on
