Children and MREs (Meals, Ready to Eat): A Surprisingly Good Source Of Entertainment! gschultz9 2026-09-24 | Children and MREs (Meals, Ready to Eat): A Surprisingly Good Source Of Entertainment!
gschultz9 Livestream: 2020 Canadian IMP! gschultz9 2024-05-25 | We’re going to check out the 2020 IMP (Individual Meal Pack) that Bourbon St Joe sent along last year. It’s Menu #10 Smoked Meat with Mustard Sauce. When we unboxed this one a few months ago it appeared to be compromised to some extent. If it ends up being too far gone to review I do have a 2015 Beans and Weiners IMP standing by as a backup.
Forgot to try the Date Square!!! gschultz9 2024-05-25 | After finishing our livestream Smoked Meat with Mustard Sauce IMP review we realized that we forgot about the Date Square dessert! Figured it would make for a good short subject.
Cranberry Sauce: A Thanksgiving Tradition! gschultz9 2024-03-29 | A short clip taken from my old video A Shelf-Stable Thanksgiving. I just found the canned cranberry sauce to be amusing!
Chicken Outtake! gschultz9 2024-03-29 | This was a little outtake from my outdoor review of a Creamy Spinach Fettuccini MRE from a few years back. There were some curious chickens roaming around and one of them got a bit too curious!
Shopping! gschultz9 2024-03-29 | We found some “interesting” options while browsing at a local H-Mart store recently. …Didn’t purchase any of these tasty items though.
gschultz9 2023 Holiday Special: Packages from Japan, Magnus & Bourbon St Joe, and Fun with Customs! gschultz9 2023-12-23 | Holiday livestream for 2023. We’ll opening packages from The Magnus from Sweden, friends from Japan and Bourbon Street Joe from Canada! As a “bonus” Joe’s package was “inspected” by customs. Should be interesting to see what survived and what didn’t. Happy Holidays!
2022 Holiday Special: Snacks from Japan and Canada, Ukrainian Refugee Ration gschultz9 2022-12-03 | ...
gschultz9 Livestream: 2018 XMRE 24 Hour Ration gschultz9 2022-06-18 | Welcome to another livestream. In this one we'll take a look at a 24 hour commercial ration from XMRE from 2018.
gschultz9 Livestream: Russian Ration & Surprise Sweets! gschultz9 2022-04-23 | Welcome to another gschultz9 livestream! (Still hoping to get back to regular reviews at some point). In this one we have a real community feel. We'll be opening a surprise package from BourbonStJoe and checking out a Russian ration from foreignmre.com that was sent along by Marilyn!
gschultz9 Livestream: Minotaur Arctic Field Ration on an Arctic Night gschultz9 2022-02-26 | We had another snowstorm in the northeast and Mrs. g thought we should take advantage of being stuck at home by doing a last-minute stream! So here it is. We're going to be looking at an Arctic Field Ration from Minotaur Trading Company (minotaurtradingcompany.com). But I'm not sure which one we'll be looking at. I have two to choose from and will take votes in the chat to decide which one to review!
gschultz9 Livestream: British ORP & Japanese Snacks! gschultz9 2022-02-05 | Welcome to another gschultz9 livestream! There may be a few other surprises along the way, but for the most part this one will focus on two main things: checking out a British 24 hour ORP (Operational Ration Pack) and trying out some Japanese snacks that were sent to us by some friends from Japan! Thank you for joining us. I DO still hope to be able to get back to filming and posting "regular" reviews one of these days. These livestreams are not meant to replace those videos, they have simply been a way to keep in touch with the community and put out at least SOME sort of content while I haven't been able to post regular reviews.
Livestream: The 2021 gschultz9 Holiday Special! gschultz9 2021-12-19 | Well, another year has come and gone. We're going to finish it up with another "Holiday Special"! In this one we'll open up the annual holiday "care package" from The Magnus, unbox a Medium Mystery Box from Minotaur Trading Company/MRE Nation and possibly do a surprise review. Otherwise we'll try out some holiday foods and try out a few random ration components to close out the year. Hope you can join us!
gschultz9 Livestream: XMRE Through the Years, and a Review! gschultz9 2021-12-04 | Welcome to another gschultz9 livestream! (and I'm sorry that I STILL have not managed to get around to making any new videos) For this stream we're going to talk about the commercial MRE company XMRE and how their products have changed and evolved over the years since they first appeared nearly ten years ago. We'll also review one of their menus (most likely an early example from around 2014).
gschultz9 Livestream: 1986 Ham and Chicken Loaf MRE! gschultz9 2021-07-24 | It's time for another gschultz9 livestream! Tonight we're going to continue the 40th birthday celebration for the MRE (first introduced to troops in 1981) by taking a look at an old brown bag Ham and Chicken Loaf MRE from 1986. This one was sent to me by JW Speaker MRE. He got a sealed case of 1986 MREs a while back and sent me this one because it was actually one of my favorite menus when I was in the Army way back when (believe it or not!). JW reviewed a Pork Patty menu from this case and it was in pretty good shape (well, for a 35 year old MRE anyway), so I have kind of high hopes for this one.And a disclaimer for those who don't like/watch these livestreams. PLEASE understand that I have not moved to a livestream-only format. The past year-and-a-half has been pretty challenging for a number of reasons. I still have not been able to get back to the regular reviews and can't say when I will. I completely understand that the livestreams are not for everyone, and I definitely understand (and agree) that it's not always much fun trying to watch a two-hour livestream video when it is no longer live. BUT, as I mentioned, I simply haven't been able to film, edit and post new videos for a long time. The ease of making a livestream video means that I have at least been able to put out SOME kind of content for those that choose to watch it. My intention is not to only make livestream videos from now on, but since I can't honestly say WHEN I'll be able to get back to the regular videos, at least these are SOMETHING at a time when otherwise I wouldn't be in a position to post ANYTHING on the channel at all. The streams have also been a GREAT way to keep in contact with the community (that part of it that watches livestreams anyway), and the interactive nature of the live chat has been absolutely awesome and much more immediate than trying to respond to video comments. It would be great if more people could join in on the fun, but like I said, I know the streams aren't for everyone. And of course even if you DO want to tune in but it's at a time you're not available, then you're kind of out of luck. I know that was a long explanation, but I wanted to be clear about exactly why I'm doing these livestreams and to stress that at this point it's either livestreams or nothing (and I'd prefer not to be doing NOTHING at all with the channel).If you don't want to watch the livestream but would like to see a review of a Ham and Chicken Loaf MRE from this timeframe here's a review of one from 1987 that I did a few years back:youtu.be/YVGcrYGAUL0JW Speaker MRE's channel:youtube.com/channel/UCT3L-3k5-f0aisJ3QGb-iKAThe unboxing video of the case that this MRE came from (and review of the Pork Patty menu):youtube.com/watch?v=ycyGzrkj_XMOld Smokey's channel:youtube.com/user/gjmitchell62482
gschultz9 Livestream: Happy 40th Birthday to the MRE! gschultz9 2021-02-13 | You can order Ann& Allen Gooey Butter Cakes here:parkavenuecoffee.com/pages/gooey-butter-cakeBack again for another livestream! We've got a few things to discuss. First off, it's almost Valentine's Day. Mrs. gschultz9 will be late for this stream, but will hopefully show up before too long to help out and have a toast for the occasion. Remember 2020? How could we forget? Well, something that I was looking forward to around the holidays finally showed up...and it's pretty much destroyed. We'll take a look at that. And, did you know that MREs were introduced in 1981? That means 2021 marks the 40th year of them being in service! We could talk about all this stuff for hours, but will try to keep it under two hours so everyone can get back to whatever they have going on Friday night.
gschultz9 Livestream 4: Spam, MREs and Other Stuff! gschultz9 2020-11-14 | Well, it's been a while! For various reasons I still haven't managed to get back to uploading videos. But we're going to try another livestream to get connected with the community again, share some updates and hopefully have some fun!Speaking of Spam, here are links to a couple videos by Mike Kennedy that I'm probably going to be mentioning in the stream. The first one is Mike's taste test of Spam and the second one (the most important one for reasons discussed in the stream!) is his look at some Armour Treet (a Spam knockoff).Make your own MREs, part 5:youtube.com/watch?v=e3iea9qzZDA&t=399sMake your own MREs, part 6:youtube.com/watch?v=0krMQI4eg14&t=345s
gschultz9 Livestream: Celebrating Nine Years of Reviewing on YouTube! gschultz9 2020-05-09 | Welcome to the third gschultz9 livestream! We're all still dealing with our global "situation" and I wanted to do another stream to check in with the community and see how everyone is doing. In addition, we actually have a few things to celebrate (always better to be celebrating rather than complaining, right?). May 10 will mark nine years since I uploaded my first-ever MRE Review here on YouTube! Here is that first "review" if you want to check it out:youtu.be/kipItxa6IvQThat first review was also an outdoor review (relatively rare to see), and it was also pretty terrible! I probably should just delete it, but it will always be my first review, so... To celebrate the anniversary we're going to take a look at another example of the same menu, MRE Menu No.5, Chicken Breast! (at least as long as the one I ordered comes in on time)What else is there to celebrate? Well, the day after this stream will be my youngest daughter's 11th birthday! We have a little something to mark that event as well. While the video mentioned above was my first MRE review, it wasn't actually my first MRE-related video. On April 17, 2011 I uploaded an odd, short video of my daughter playing with some MRE components when she was a little shy of two years old. How much she's changed over the past nine years! Here's that video in case you feel like checking it out:youtu.be/cF8kttbiJVsThis weekend also includes Mother's Day on Sunday, so we'll be celebrating Mrs. gschultz9 and all the mothers out there! We're also going to be doing a couple unboxing and trying out some MRE and non-MRE foods and drinks and doing some comparisons between similar, but slightly different products.Proceeds from any Superchats from tonight's livestream will be going to help the MANNA (Many Angels Needed Now and Always) ministry at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Boston. It's an outreach program that helps feed and support the homeless community in the area. They have been extremely busy at a time when many homeless programs and even shelters are closing because of the pandemic. If you'd like to donate directly to them you can do so at:stpaulboston.org/manna-donationsJust make sure to designate MANNA as the recipient of the gift in the form. Otherwise it will just go directly to the church. Nothing wrong with that, as it will still help support all the ministries of the church, but you can designate it specifically for MANNA. Thank you!
gschultz9 Livestream: Rotating Stock, Staying Safe and Sane! gschultz9 2020-04-18 | Well, we're we're going to do another livestream! The last one was a lot of fun and seemed to work out pretty well. In this stream we're going to try to check in with everyone out there (via chat) to see how everybody's doing. We're also going to talk a little bit about rations and rotating stock, try out some shelf-stable foods and other stuff for dinner, and the girls will be doing a little unboxing of their own!
gschultz9 Livestream! UGR Family Dinner gschultz9 2020-03-28 | This is my first attempt at doing a livestream. Crossing fingers that it'll go well! I figured that it might be a good time to do something like this to check in and see how everyone's doing during this unprecedented, strange time we're living in. I hope everyone out there is doing well (or at least as well as can be expected under the circumstances anyway). Tonight the family is going to attempt to try out a couple UGR (Unitized Group Ration) Trays. I hope to see a lot of people in the chat!Here's treesuit's eBay store: ebay.com/usr/treesuit?_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2754
Surprise Package from Marilyn! Ann & Allen Gooey Butter Cakes!!! gschultz9 2020-02-13 | Join gschultz9 on Facebook: www.facebook.com/gschultz9A few day ago a box arrived and I didn't know who it was from or what was in it. Actually, I did have an idea about both when I saw the Ann & Allen label on it! This surprise package came from Marilyn Scull and contained a couple of her famous Gooey Butter Cakes (and something else that was even more of a surprise)! Marilyn is a huge part of the ration review community and I wanted to make this video to try to "give back" a bit for all that she does for so many people. I was hoping to keep this one short and to the point, but you know me. And, part of the reason it's so long is that when I was wrapping things up a couple surprise "guest reviewers" showed up to add their two cents!If you would like to try out some Gooey Butter Cakes for yourself, please visit annandallen.com or parkavenuecofee.com to check them out and order. Thank you, Marilyn!!!Here's a video that Tracy Phillips made a while back where he visits Marilyn's bakery with his grandkids!: youtube.com/watch?v=PLYUcJxfAsI&t=396s
Seasons Greetings and Holiday Package from The Magnus! gschultz9 2019-12-23 | Join gschultz9 on Facebook: www.facebook.com/gschultzbergInstagram: gschultz9MREHere's The Magnus' channel: youtube.com/user/joebryerThe Magnus has continued a tradition of sending me a surprise holiday package from Sweden. In addition to checking out the contents of the package, this video acts as my holiday message to my subscribers and ended up being longer than I had planned/expected. It would seem that the only people interested in watching this one would be community members who (hopefully) won't mind the length. Happy Holidays (to those who celebrate of course) and Happy New Year!
MRE Review: 2019 Canadian IMP Menu No.12 Pulled Pork **Short Version** gschultz9 2019-12-18 | Join gschultz9 on Facebook: www.facebook.com/gschultz9If you'd like to see more information and detail about this ration, please check out the original version: youtu.be/LEWwy_eEZX8This is a review of a Canadian IMP (Individual Meal Pack) from 2019. It is Menu No. 12, Pulled Pork. This video has been re-edited from the original footage to be as short as I could make it. A lot of detail and information was left out for the sake of keeping it as short as possible. The original version can be found in the link above.

It's Menu No.19 Pulled Pork. It's the first time I've had this entree, and it was VERY good. The whole meal was quite good in fact.
MRE Review: 1997 Menu 18 Turkey Breast with Gravy and Potatoes **Short Version** gschultz9 2019-12-02 | Join gschultz9 on Facebook: www.facebook.com/gschultz9Here is the original version of this review if you'd like to see more detail (like activation of the Flameless Ration Heater): youtu.be/tNYsxDifepUHere's a 1997 Turkey with Gravy and Potatoes MRE that was apparently not stored under optimal conditions. It was definitely showing signs of not aging well due to time and temperature.
The Thanksgiving MRE! 1997 Menu 18 Turkey Breast with Potatoes and Gravy gschultz9 2019-11-28 | Join gschultz9 on Facebook: www.facebook.com/gschultz9*Note: This is a 22 year old MRE. I refer to that fact after checking the date code on the entree. But then later in the video I say it is 32 years old (and also say the beverage powder is from 2016, not 1996). Those are obviously mistakes I made in the flow of the review. Sorry for any confusion!Here's the short version of this review for those who can't sit through the whole thing: Here's Oldsmokey's review of this menu from two years ago. His was from 2003 and it had been frozen for about 15 years, so was in much better condition than mine was: youtube.com/watch?v=pTIxGsAd_bs&t=174sHere's a long-discontinued menu. It's one of the few MREs to have featured turkey as an entree. It's Menu No.18 Turkey with Gravy and Potatoes from 1997. This menu was produced between 1997 and 2003, so this is a first year example. Unfortunately there were some age and heat related issues with this one, but it was still an interesting one to check out (first time I've even had one).
gschultz9 Thanksgiving Vlog: Giving Thanks for the Ration Review Community! gschultz9 2019-11-27 | Join gschultz9 on Facebook: www.facebook.com/gschultz9Happy Thanksgiving (U.S. obviously) everyone! This is something quite different. First off, it's NOT a review, so I completely understand that many won't watch it. Anyway, I wanted to do this vlog to share some of my thoughts on the ration review community, and what I'm thankful for in relation to it this Thanksgiving. At the end there is a bit of a history of the community on YouTube from my own perspective if you'd care to stick around for that. I apologize for this being a very long video of just me talking, but it's really something I felt I needed to do. If you can handle it I invite you to hang out with me for a half-hour of reflecting on many aspects of our great little community. If you're not interested that's fine too. I hope that everyone who celebrates it has a Happy Thanksgiving!Here are some links to channels mentioned in the video:Oldsmokey: youtube.com/user/gjmitchell62482Gundog4314: youtube.com/user/gundog4314Kiwi Dude: youtube.com/user/KiwiDudeMREMREJap: youtube.com/user/mrejapMsSpy: youtube.com/user/MsSpyTracy Phillips: youtube.com/channel/UCmJ7OIYzg8GTi6OIZfq2w8AMultiMagnum62: youtube.com/user/MultiMagnum62The Magnus: youtube.com/user/joebryerLet's Make a Little: youtube.com/channel/UCRzJB-x5l4mXPKqMvLSmLoQSteve1989MREInfo: youtube.com/channel/UC2I6Et1JkidnnbWgJFiMeHA
MRE Review: 2003 Menu No.17 Beef Teriyaki **Short Version** gschultz9 2019-10-04 | If you'd like to see the original version of this video, which has a lot more detail and information, you can check it out here: youtu.be/g_kBq0amGZkJoin gschultz9 on Facebook: www.facebook.com/gschultz9Here's the short version of the review of this 2003 Menu No.17 Beef Teriyaki MRE. This one was unfortunately not stored very well. The good thing is that it DOES give us a good example of what can happen to an MRE when it's not stored under the best of conditions. We've kind of gotten used to seeing vintage MREs in great (and edible) shape that we kind of think of MREs as something that will seemingly last practically forever. But that extra-long shelf life can only happen if care is taken while storing them for years and years.
MRE Review: 2003 Menu No.17 Beef Teriyaki gschultz9 2019-09-27 | Join gschultz9 on Facebook: www.facebook.com/gschultz9Here's the previous Beef Teriyaki MRE I reviewed (the one that had been frozen for 15 years): youtu.be/xDlXK5RRk6EThe Short Version of this video can be found here: youtu.be/A7u5RnqWW5QHere's another "MRE Review Redux" look at a menu I previously reviewed. This one was very interesting for mostly unfortunate reasons. A couple years ago I reviewed this same menu from 2001. That one had been frozen for 15 years and seemed practically like a brand-new MRE. This one was obviously not stored as well and the two reviews serve as a great illustration of how much of a difference storage conditions can make, and just how important it is to store your MREs well if you want them to last for a long time.
MRE Review: 2014 Menu No.16 Barbeque Flavored Pork Patty *Short Version* gschultz9 2019-09-19 | Join gschultz9 on Facebook: www.facebook.com/gschultz9The full version of this video can be found here: youtu.be/CNChCW3EIKgThis is the Short Version of this review of a 2014 Menu No.16 Rib Shaped Barbeque Flavor Pork Patty (aka: BBQ Pork Rib, aka: McRib). It held up very well overall for a five-plus year old MRE. There might have been a bit of packaging flavor tainting the drinks, but overall it seemed pretty "fresh"!
MRE Review: 2014 Menu No.16 Rib Shaped Barbeque Flavor Pork Patty (With Mrs. gschultz9) gschultz9 2019-09-13 | This is going to be a rather long and detailed video. If you want to see a shorter version with a lot less information, please check out the Short Version (link will be below as soon as it's uploaded). But this one is kind of special for a few reasons. First off, it's an "MRE Review Redux" video looking back at an old menu that I last reviewed way back in 2012. Second, it's part of a collaboration with fellow reviewer and friend MultiMagnum62, where we both look at the same menu independently. A link to his review of this menu is below. Third, even though McDonald's hasn't re-released the McRib in my area in a long time, I took the opportunity to compare the MRE BBQ Pork Rib with a "BBQ Rib Sandwich" from Subway. And, fourth (and this one was unplanned), while I was filming Mrs. gschultz9 came home unexpectedly and was able to be a special surprise guest-reviewer!Join gschultz9 on Facebook: www.facebook.com/gschultz9MultiMagnum62's review of the BBQ Pork Rib: youtube.com/watch?v=o3XzOeztYpUHere's MultiMagnum62's YouTube channel:youtube.com/user/MultiMagnum62Here's the last review I did of a BBQ Pork Patty in 2012:youtu.be/02h7SyL6QvA

I apologize to anyone thinking it could have been done in five minutes, max. True, it COULD have been done quickly, but I also wanted to chat a bit about the great folks who sent me this stuff, and I had originally intended to do a vlog about the ration review community. I dropped the vlog idea mid-video and simply talked about some aspects of our great not-so-little-anymore community during the unboxing. If you can stand to listen to me talk on and on then please sit back, relax and enjoy seeing what goodies Mike and Tracy generously sent along to me!Here's Tracy's channel if you want to check it out (and subscribe!): youtube.com/channel/UCmJ7OIYzg8GTi6OIZfq2w8AIf you want to check out the "Let's Make a Little" channel to see what MsKestrela does, here it is: youtube.com/channel/UCRzJB-x5l4mXPKqMvLSmLoQ

It's Menu No.1 Spaghetti with Beef and Sauce, a classic MRE entree. I reviewed a number of MREs from the case this one came from back in 2015 and kind of wanted to see how it stood the test of time. Everything was edible, but it did seem to be starting to show some early signs of aging.

Simply enter gs10 during checkout to get your discount!Every time you order a "Build Your Own Case" from MRE Nation you get one of these "Bonus Packs". From the outside it simply looks like a 13th MRE in your case, but in fact it's a pretty clever collection of bonus items that you can use to enhance and improve the experience of eating your MREs. There are extra Crackers, a number of Spreads and a Protein Drink among the edible components. There are also a number of sauces and other flavor enhancers to add to your mains, sides and desserts. Plus there are a few other items that really put this "Bonus Pack" over the top as a really cool addition to your case. I wanted to make a video to showcase this Bonus Pack before I started using it in reviews. Obviously with one of these you will have the option to go beyond what's included in each MRE to tailor it to your tastes and needs!
UGR Tray Review: Cookie, Chocolate Crunchy Peanut Butter with Chocolate Chips (2018) gschultz9 2019-07-01 | Join gschultz9 on Facebook: www.facebook.com/gschultz9Check out all the stuff that MRE Nation has to offer at www.mrenation.comIf you decide to purchase anything from MRE Nation, don't forget to use my discount code, gs10.

So a great opportunity presented itself when we took a camping trip on the first weekend of summer! Along with myself and Mrs. gschultz9 and our two daughters we also had a friend of out daughter and met up with some friends (a couple with a daughter). This meant we had eight people (both kids and adults) to try out the cookies. If all that weren't enough, we were also joined by a kid from a neighboring campsite who was hanging out with our kids, and she tried the cookies out too.

Memorial Day MRE Review: 2014 Menu No.19 Beef Patty Jalapeno Pepper Jack gschultz9 2019-05-26 | Join gschulz9 on Facebook: www.facebook.com/gschultz9If this video is too long and wordy for you, please check out the "Short Version" for a quicker experience: youtu.be/y9qzOm7xya4Here is the last review I did of this menu back in 2014: youtu.be/j-HoLOBeod0For Memorial Day (and for the first "MRE Review Redux") I decided to revisit the "Cheeseburger MRE", Menu No.19 Beef Patty, Jalapeno Pepper Jack. Last time I did this menu was about five years ago. It was a first year of production one from 2013 and at the time was one of the freshest MREs I'd ever had. This 2014 one is about five years old now and came from a desert environment in Ft. Irwin, CA. I don't know how well (or not well) it was stored, but unfortunately it was definitely showing some signs of being out-of-date. The only real difference between the 2013 and 2014 menus that I've reviewed were very minor: they changed the cookie from Oatmeal to Chocolate Chip, and the Cheese Spread was switched from Bacon to plain.
Intro for New Series: MRE Review Redux! gschultz9 2019-05-24 | Join gschultz9 on Facebook: www.facebook.com/gschultz9Welcome to the "MRE Review Redux" series! Other names considered included "MRE Review: Take Two" and MRE Review Deja Vu".I've been thinking about re-visiting some MRE menus that I've reviewed in the past. As I've been doing reviews since 2011 it occurred to me that it might be worth checking out some updated menus that I've tried in the past. In general I am more than happy to review the same entree multiple times in different forms of MREs (brown bag vs modern, genuine government MREs, TOTMs, commercial MREs from different companies like XMRE, Meal Kit Supply, MRE Nation and the civilian ones from the government contractors that make the genuine ones: Sopakco, Ameriqual and Wormick), but try not to repeat the same menu in the same MRE type. I'm not sure how many of these I'll do, but the first two will be the ones featured in this intro video.
