How does Steve make smoking a cigarette look wholesome?

Literally that was my first thought before I even watched a whole one of his videos. I discovered him through this thread, and was just poking about watching piece meal stuff and I think before I even got my first "Nice" I saw a 10 second video of him smoking a cig someone posted here and thought almost exactly that.

So investigating the comments, as far as I can tell his comments on eating nothing but turkey legs and pork butt roast was not a joke.

I'm very fascinated by what kind of man he is.

I read in an interview he works in Landscaping, and a Vietnam Vet relative bought him his first rations a kid. He seems quite a private guy, but for sure, he's fascinating nonetheless.

50% rations. that's absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention how expensive that would be. I wonder if steve is like actually one of those people who has an obsession because it is not normal in any sense to eat that much ration food. Maybe he is weirder then i thought

He might also get a lot of rations from MRE markets for free/reduced price for advertising (e.g. MREMountin, MREZone (rip), etc). Given he lives in Florida the heat isn't good for storing MREs and I would suspect he has a "in case of hurricane/disaster" supply of MREs too, that he rotates (either by choice or 'holy crap I have a ton of newer MREs")

If he did/does eat rations 50% of the time by 100% choice, sure its a bit weird, but if that is his weird thing, I would still put in more normal then most.

Rations are pretty tasty tbh and cost less than going out to eat so ordering a fat stack isnt cheaper than cooking for yourself but its not the worst. Hes fit looking and works out doors so hes using the calories and vitamins. He could be autistic about weirder stuff like trains or elevators but his positivity and charisma make for a great watch.

Yeah afaik he has a MASSIVE haul of MREs from around the world, the most valuable he's paid for, but many and MANY have been sent to him from around the world by members of various nations' military soldiers who love his show and would love to see their nations MRE's on his show so they slip a couple from the victualers office, or thier own supplied MREs or whatever and send him one or two. Now imagine someone in every different ....er...not squad but..division? sending him one, from the over 200 nation-states that exist, and you have one HELL of a backlog of modern MREs, why wouldn't you eat a good percentage of your extras? You'll never need them for videos or display. Sell or eat the extras, either way he dosen't have to pay much to eat, if he pays anything at all!

Isn't it a bit counterproductive to have a spicy MRE? Unless it's something so weak it won't get you sweating.

Not really. The high salt content along with the copious amounts of water you should be drinking kinda neutralizes it.

It does, however, give your meals a mild laxative effect.

I think we're all just a bit bemused at the spectacle of a guy who is willingly and happily eating this stuff. We're so used to the bizarre and creepy lolcows, it feels like waiting for the other shoe to drop when it never will.

God bless Steve1989, the mad man with a GI tract made of tank armor.

If he did that without significant amounts of exercise he'd be a lot fatter. I'd assume if he really eats that many calorie and carb-dense rations that he is doing something to burn that off too.
 
Steve seems to be the kind of guy who manages to find a positive in most situations. I mean, for most ration packs, even the old ones - he'll find *something* to get excited about or try to get some good from it. He very rarely pans any of the rations he gets unless they genuinely are bad. Heck even the ones most people would say no to , steve will still coo over. I mean the guy tried to get something out of 100+ year old beef.

I did notice on one of the older videos, he's gone back to note he's no longer associated with the MRE museum or something. Wonder what happened there.
