Can we please stop applying the vaporwave meme to literally everything?

>>9661464
No

>>9661131
holy shit that meal pack was $700?

>>9661967
yeah, steve said he sometimes spends more than a grand on some rations.
vintage shit ain’t cheap, especially if it’s in mint condish.

>>9662007
ah, at least he got to enjoy 24 cigarettes and all that spaghetti

too bad about the bread

>>9662007

What a fag. He could get decent 2016/2017 rations which are not shit for cheap and they would make for comfier videos. Who the fuck finds opening 30+ year old cans of shit comfy? It's gross as fuck.

>paying $1000 for moldy, old, shit canned crap


The Italian, French, Polish and Norwegian MRE's in the other hand....NICE

>>9662058
faggot

>>9662058
I don't find opening the 30+ year old cans comfy, but I do enjoy the shock/disgustingness of seeing what's happened to it after all of these years.
The newer rations are for comfy but the older rations are for a morbid curiosity

stop posting here, steve
anyone that cares about your videos is subscribed to your channel.
this is against the rules here

It's great watching someone who is so passionate about something.

I don't give a crap about military rations and MREs but seeing him so excited about it makes me interested.

>>9662095
This is a board about food and cooking. His channel is a popular channel about rare and interesting foods. Considering that 4chan is full of people with strange tastes and people into weapons and military stuff, it's kind of stupid to accuse every thread of being made by one guy when said guy has close to half a million subscribers and even more fans.
I'm not Steve and I've made Steve/ration threads before because I have an interest in rations and I like to share stuff I find interesting with possibly likeminded people on 4chan.

>>9662087
The older rations are also cool because there's usually some interesting history to go along with them. Reading MREinfo's forums taught me all sorts of amazing facts about the history of instant coffee.

>>9662058
get the fuck out
it’s like watching the opening of a time capsule.
steve makes the money back he spends on this and then some from youtube revenue as patreon.

>>9662138
>Digestive crackers and sugar

I like this guy, but those spoon clank edits are really cringey desu.
It really doesn't fit with the theme of the videos.

>>9662206
yeah that’s the only element that has gotten stale to me.
steve is great at reviewing, but his music just sounds like him wanking around on a keyboard

>>9661137
!eciN

>>9662206
I only watch these videos when I'm high, so I wasn't sure if it was an edit or if his stirring was actually that musical.

Thanks for confirming.

he spent 700 on the ration in that video, 1100 a month isnt much at all.

>>9668218
He gets $1100 a month from Patreon alone.
Based off of SocialBlade he makes between $10K - $160k off of youtube revenue. He probably makes the higher side of that estimate.
www.socialblade.com/youtube/channel/uc2i6et1jkidnnbwgjfimeha

>>9668229
patreon takes a big cut that isn't listed, and from what i've heard the only things that get consistently high ad revenue is stuff that kids and teens will click on
a niche video series about eating military rations isn't gonna be on the high side
it's pretty rad he's getting paid for this but it's probably not gonna cover his treatment costs when he gets botulism again

>>9661137

Just order some current production MREs off of eBay. They're pretty cheap, anywhere from $10 each down to like $5 each if you buy a whole case of them.

>>9669077
>not 87 hogs

>>9661137
nice

>>9668263
Even if you factor in everyone’s cuts I feel like he makes enough money that he could review shit like every week. I would be content with watching him just reviewing every single current US mre menu.

I like that he doesn't churn out identical videos every day. Each video is its own unique look into military cusine.

One thing I don't quite get:

Is a hiss a good or bad thing? It means that the can is sealed right so that's good? But doesn't it also mean that it was under pressure because of bacteria producing gas?

Depends on the hiss.
General rule of thumb:

BAD
Something probably became alive in there and pressurized it

Good, the seal was probably intact

Steve is just comfy - He has that 90's Americana feel, voice of a Californian surfer and a passion about the military food.

He also is one of the few people that hasn't got those bullshit videos that are just clickbaits for sponsors.

He works as a roofer, and after work he goes through craigslist/ebays and orders MRE's so he can share his joy with us.

He is a gem in this pile of rubbish.

>>9683138
>I just shook it in the pouch like a mad man for like 90 seconds.

>>9662058
He does review recent rations from other countries too, I guess eating 60 year old spaghetti gives him more views tho

>>9686501
he can shake my pouch like a man man for as long as he wants, if you know what i mean

>>9685981
I think that's what I like about him so much. He has that genuine flair to him that makes it enjoyable to watch him. Unlike most of the youtube fuckheads out there that make me want to strangle them Steve is the kind of guy I'd like to buy a beer and hear his input on the quality of US MRE's.

so here's the soup

with chicken you don't like the way that

smells the spaghetti still smells good

but this huh well hold on maybe it's

okay let's try some rice first I'm being

wimpy okay the chicken weird texture to

it like sorry um that's a really savory

I mean that chicken is great like

considering that it's not like little

teeny chunks and smells like I came off

the dock which is not normal for chicken

why am i eating this I don't know about

that the rice rehydrated well very

savory chicken broth chicken rice soup

then go back to some of this hmm

this is quality this spaghetti with meat

sauce the spaghetti is more like these

weird little hollow noodles that you can

like literally breathe through what a

fascinating meal

>>9689251

Exactly. That’s what I like about Steve. He’s a real person with a real job. Doing this is just a fun hobby for him that’s he’s really passionate about and it shows. He’s not like the usual cavalcade of Youtube leech that constantly begs for likes and subs.

why is he so shaky :(

>My wife sticks her head through the doorway into my office, "Honey, dinner is ready!"
"OK, I'll be there in a second."
She notices the slightly glazed look on my face as I sit down at the table, "So what have you been doing for the past 4 hours?"
"Oh, just watching a guy eat old military food; MREs." There's no hint of apology in my voice.
"Really? Uhmm...ok...really, 4 hours? Anyway, dinner's ready."
I replace the beautiful china dish my wife has provided with a military compartmentalized tray. "I see that...let's get this out on a tray...NICE!" Each entre is placed in a compartment as I pour boiling water from my canteen-cup into a glass with freeze dried coffee.
"Huh?" She looks at me with doubting eyes and moves her chair away from me slightly. "So what do you think of my biscuits? It's a new recipe!" I notice the pride in her voice, but I can't help myself.
"They're a little thirst provoking!"

>>9668229

The money from patreon doesn't cover the costs of all the MREs he purchases for reviews every month. He reviews things several times a month with the vintage stuff costing several hundred apiece. He has a day job doing landscaping work. He films in his bedroom ffs. The man is dirt poor. He got food poisoning from an old MRE at one point and the 15k hospital bill ruined him

what did he mean by this

>>9692990
Steve's alpha enough to be a weeb and get away with it

>>9690870
Combination of he usually works out right before vids and sheer honest excitement. Or botulism.

>>9692990
Steve has had intercourse with this woman.

I got a friend who met Steve at Vet's Army & Navy. He let my buddy open a small pack of Luckies and smoked one outside the place with him. Then let him keep the remaining couple and the pack.

>>9692990
Now that’s a match up that I would think would be rather NICE

The novalty of eating MRE's isnt worth the $12 per meal plus shipping.

>>9661137
nice

>>9684094
By law he has to dispose of all controlled substances he finds in the ration.

By law. We never see what he does with it off camera. Steve is quite a thin lad, isn't he?

>>9684094
dude what

>>9664010
The mold itself is almost never deadly unless you manage to inhale so much that it colonizes your lungs (not a good way to go).

The problem is the mycotoxins. And this is not the black mold people are afraid of, not the species that produces trichothecenes. Rhizopus stolonifer is probably not great for you, but there are much less reported health risks from bread mold over house mold.

>>9661131

does he not get ill from eating this shit?

>>9662058

>>9694789

he did find the amphetamine pack in some vietnam era pilot survival kit. he said that was usually missing

>this thread

>>9695771
the other anon probably means the german chocolate ration with kola nut

>>9692990
He likes every channel that does MRE reviews

>>9661137
nice

>>9694936
Because he transcends reviewbrah. He’s a cool guy that does what he does because he’s passionate about it. Reviewbrah is a weird paranoid goblin that eats fast food.

>>9661137
Nice

>>9661137
Nice

>>9696544
this checks out

but i was also thinking... the way he looks at the camera, he has this empty expression sometimes just like reviewbrah. almost as if he was reviewbrah from an alternate dimension where he became a well rounded chad instead of a dork.

>>9661131
little hiss

>>9695809
nice

>>9696963
You have a good point. I think it’s more he sometimes feels unsure of what to do when he presents himself on camera where as he’s much more comfortable doing the demonstration from the first person perspective. I can tell Steve isn’t very self absorbed like reviewbrah. Reviewbrah has the camera on himself 100% of the time.

>>9694936
because he wears clothes that fit

>>9697218
Or clothes from the 1920s.

>>9696294
That was one of the really cool old ration tastings he did. That chocolate legit looked tasty. It was a rare experience too since only a handful of those tins with the chocolate still in it exist.

since when did /ck/ turn on /ourguy/? reviewbrah is still as fun and earnest as ever. why can't we like both?

>>9698096
He was not bad when he first started. Then his weird paranoia and other shit came up. Plus a lot of his reviews just feel so phoned in. I can’t watch him anymore because he doesn’t seem to really give a fuck about what he’s doing. He has this attitude that since he’s been doing it for so long he might as well just keep doing it.

>>9698324
I don't know, he still sounds pretty earnest, but i agree the earlier ones were a bit better

Don’t get me wrong I like Steve, but the way youtubers managed to make a living from the most unlikely things in the past few years still amazes me.

what the fuck is the weird music he plays at the beginning

>>9698580
When I was a kid my mom would curse me out and say I can't play videogames for a living.

Now these fuckers are making 6 figures off of doing this shit on youtube.

>>9698639

For every Pewdie or Mark there's literally a thousand empty Twitch channels with nobody watching.

>>9698639

What's with the jealous, saltlords claiming Steve is shilling these threads? The guy probably doesn't even know what 4chan is.

Regardless, there isn't a more genuine, harmlessly passionate YouTuber out there. He is clearly a great guy and his videos are entertaining to a lot of people who don't require jumpcuts and obnoxious voices to keep their short attention spans in check.

>>9661137

nice

Does he run MREinfo?

I went there and it's some serious mre autism with the depth of detail it goes into. Steve's autismal dedication to knowing about something like military rations is kind of amazing.

>Just got done watching the 1944 RAF Emergency Ration video
>It’s literally just chocolate and meth

Can Steve afford to buy all these vintage rations and do the videos because he’s really a drug lord flipping standard issue crank from WWII?

>>9699212

you can even go back and find his very first post on there from like eight or nine years ago.

This is what I like about him so much. Unlike all the YouTube fucks out there that make me want to strangle, Steve is the kind of guy I would like to be friends with. He’s just a cool honest hard working guy that’s passionate of his hobby. Unlike a certain fast food goblin we know.

It can be the sodium content but it also can be how dry they are. Of course all crackers are dry but it depends on how they are made. As noted by some of Steve’s videos that the crackers/biscuits made with say shortning tend to not be like sand to the palette.
