1939 Emergency Air Corps Ration US Pilot Survival MRE Review
I like the poem in the emergency kit.
One line--two hooks​
In sea or brooks;​
Produce much fun, food, fish et al​
To owners of the Woodman's Pal.​
Then cook your food​
Be't fish or fowl,​
Light leaves or grass​
Through Victor glass.​
Build bed and hut of coco leaves,​
Spare ribs and hide from sores and grieves,​
Compassionate our hearts do burn​
And hopefully bid you "Safe Return."​

That whole kit was amazing. Cosmoline-preserved fold-up machete, pocket knife, hooks and lines, compass, waterproof matchcase, mosquito netting, chocolate, water purification tabs, first aid, a couple flares, all in a backpack that doubled as a pillow. As well as a cool-ass poem to lift your spirits. All that was missing was salt tabs and maybe some speed like the Germans had in theirs.

20:27; that's a big Twinkie.


edit: "The weevils didn't continue eating it; that's their little home now. Kinda sad. I should put this one back in the box."

Wasn't expecting another double header so soon after the last one a few days ago.
God i hope the US forces commisary drop that cringe "warfighter recommended, warfighter tested, warfighter approved" slogan soon. It sounds so edgelordy.

That aside, SO glad to have so much Steve content back. He must have needed to juice up his lifestyle a little so finally returned to the Youtubes to feed us more.

The best guys on YouTube are the ones who dont really need it. Its still a passion project for him it seems.

Can you die from an expired twinkie? I don't think botulism can grow in it. Also wonder if you can use it to measure shrinkflation.

He has a great infectious enthusiasm that makes you interested in something that you never even knew you were interested in.

He sort of reminds me of a history teacher I once had who would get really animated and even bounce up and down while getting into history that he loved. We made fun of him but we also listened to what he said. Steve isn't quite as autistic but you do still watch and think "is he really going to eat that?"
 
but there seems to be less cream filling as time went on
but is that because of the company deliberately cutting the filling or is it because the twinkie dried out. I wouldn't put it past any company to cut corners if they can get away with it. I know a lot of products shrink in portion size but increases in cost, blabla profits.

This is what I like about Steve's channel. This is his hobby, he knows a whole lot about it, he's eager to share what he's learned with everyone. He's worked on improving his presentation, and he's probably giving extra explanation for the normies in his audience, but I bet Steve1989 has never unironically said "content" unless he said "nutritional" right before it.

As much as I would love to see Steve1989 crossovers with other channels, it would kind of spoil the magic, too. Maybe that other butch-autistic guy who eats antique food and is restoring his own backwoods palace; I forgot his really generic handle but he's just as honestly enthusiastic, if a little less informative. Milepost something? The guy who feeds his leftovers either to the toilet on-camera, or leaves it out for backyard critters (also on-camera).

There was a missed opportunity to take cross-sections, line them up, and get out the calipers.

I like the sidestep to industrial baking/food preservation. It fits with Steve's area of expertise, same as if he did instant coffee reviews. This is a nice "special," like the time he went out camping.

please if you remember the name of this channel, do share it. That sounds right up my alley.

Good news; I have been wracking my brain since my previous post and finally found it. Main handle is "Post 10," and his antique food channel is NewEnglandWildlifeAndMore. (As you see: not a memorable name.)


Food reviews new and vintage, everything old. I buy all food and products in my videos to show how it holds up. History documentation showing old items. The stuff on my channel is bought from collectors mostly or estate sales mostly after someone dies or auction for the special rare ones. I know a guy who owns an estate sale company and he saves and sells stuff like this to me. I make videos of vintage items I find interesting along with wildlife and review videos. My channel started off as mostly wildlife, trapping and trains but people say they rather my videos of old stuff but I will still post those things sometimes. Thanks for watching. AUTO BLOCKING IN AFFECT No... Inappropriate offensive language, threats, asking me to eat things proven to be toxic, Keep This Site Clean Or Get Blocked​

(Bold mine.) I think this guy is on the spectrum but he is the old-school kind of sperg who gets things done. I have barely scraped the surface of his stuff but he lives in the woods somewhere, fixes things, putters, pokes things with a stick and eats them as needed. He's making his own vintage food display room, too.
 
He does a LOT of unclogging of culverts. A character arc where the early videos are unbelievably spergy (i.e. hi-viz vest and yelling at the camera about how well the unclogging is going) and he kinda learns to human over time.
A rare gem in these dark times. Unclogging culverts seems like the public works version of r/popping.

At least he didn't heat the twinkies up in a FRH before he ate them

and that video has me convinced that twinkies are so self stable and immune to going off that we should scrap the idea of high tech stasis pods for long distance space travel and instead encase the crew in giant twinkies. It would keep them fresh and provide something to eat when they arrived at their new planet

I wish there were more wholesome "cows" like this who just did good things for their own sake while perhaps being a trifle silly.
