The RLW-30 was a prototype 24 hour MRE tested by Special Forces troops in September-October 1986. Containing 2,100 calories yet only weighing 15 ounces, this was an innovative and state of the art design that surprisingly wasn't ever adopted. This ration after shipping and fees cost me $560. It is the only time one has ever been filmed - and like many rations on this channel it can serve as a reference point for collectors, historians, and people interested in food packaging and storage.
This is the only one I have ever seen outside of Natick Food Lab's prototype archives. It was a well worth it gamble to see how this freeze dried ration held up. See for yourself how this one turns out.

    You're not getting the full Steve1989 experience if you're not watching his videos at 1am with work/school in the morning
  • @Thebadassowl
    "Take a look at that bacon bread crisp, that's something we're nevere going to see again and it's stale and completely inedible; I'm not taking another bite of that." Proceeds to take big chunk out of it as soon as he sets it down Never change Steve, never change.
  • @stredent
    "From the taste alone, i can tell you it's not edible anymore."
  • @krazykyfan
    Lol does anyone else say "nice hiss" now when they open up vacuum sealed or canned food? For some reason these videos are so therapeutic lol.
  • @JammieJohnny1
    "Oh yeah thats also rancid... i gotta get a bite of this thing"
  • @Perktube1
    Steve I think your digestive system deserves a purple heart. Your tray as well. 🏅
  • I feel like Steve will be the only one of the human race left, he'll be so immune to all bacteria and viruses by the end of these tastings lol
  • @mallac4545
    When He hasn't posted a video in a few weeks I always wonder if a ration finally got the best of him.
  • @hitman310
    The man, the myth, the legend.. Steve has arrived to bless us with another great video.
  • @mosipd
    "I'm not gonna eat any more of that" Hand appears out of the ether, to eat more of that.
  • @saddletramp5000
    The sweet soothing sounds of Steve eating old, sometimes rotten food. Awesome.
  • Heck. "It's only THIRTY TWO years old." Only you, Steve. Only you.
  • @ezkensmom
    13:39 cracked me up for some reason... (chews bar with no emotion on his face) "No...." 😂
  • @Libraqueen1987
    i think “Life” cereal bar just literally means it’s made with Life cereal lol
  • -Some of the most inedible smelling and tasting food of all time. -Still manages to make the video last 20 minutes. What a legend. Never change.
  • @jordan_sal413
    “Look at this bacon cheese bar. This ones stale and inedible and I’m not gonna eat anymore of it.. k I’m gonna take one more bite of it” 😂
  • @SMDDR
    Steve, never think we're laughing at you, you're a goddamn national treasure.
  • @gundog4314
