In 1990, the military made the decision to add the fan favorite 1/8-ounce Tabasco bottles to MREs until they were retired in favor of the packets in 2011.

Old Corps here. Served from 65 thru 69. Marine field gear, 782, was horrible. Crap left over from the Korean War and back packs from WW2. C-Rats were in cans which only added to the weight you were humping. I did my tour in Nam, I was a Marine Scout Dog Handler, serving in the First MarDiv. The supply system had completely broken in the field.
Never enough socks, jungle fatigues or food. Absolutely disgraceful logistical failure.
I was lucky. My first dog, Fritz, was wounded and I and my dog was flown down to Saigon to the Army War dog hospital for 4 weeks for surgery and rehab. Met a bunch of Army Handlers. They outfitted me with army gear from head to toe. I was in heaven. When I flew back to DaNang and reported back our compound I was the envy of my unit.
In closing, I found it absolutely tragic how the Marine Corp let down it’s young Marines regarding gear and logistics failures. If your asking a young man to daily put his life on the line, you should have the decency to take care of him in the field. No excuses!
Discharged in June of 69 after four years. Went to college, earned two degrees and got on with my life. Had a great business career and retired in 2013. Met some great guys in the Marines, unforgettable adventures with memories that last a lifetime. Semper Fi.

I and my Marine brothers used to spray scotch guard waterproof spray on our shelter halves. It worked great. Semper Fi

Each week, on Sunday morning, I go to YouTube and look for your video. If I don't see it, I search for it. Guess what? I always find it. I don't understand your subscribers who give the excuse "I wasn't notified". Good work once again.

[danholmblad]

As former army. I love what you are showing. Keep up the awesome work. I now you have a lot of fires in the pot. Just keep it up. God bless.

Dude this is great. So many memories of USMC field ops, and all the same gear. I never could solve the problem of at least 3 or 4 shoulder straps; flak, deuce gear, pack, and a weapon sling.. Toss the 81mm barrel on top of the ruck and you are guaranteed to have numb fingers. Good times.

Great content, thanks for posting.

[reedfrench]

the memories of sleeping in the field for weeks on end with the good ole Marine corps gear!

Excellent installment. I was in a medical company, so I didn't use my shelter half much at all. It received the most use when I was in BT. We laid out the shelter half, put the pad down on one side, took the blanket and covered the whole square section of the canvas, folded the ends in, folded the one half over the other, and rolled it up. We attached it to the bottom of the ALICE pack through the bottom straps. One memorable night had us getting to our bivouac site after going for about 20 hours nonstop. I took my bedroll out, opened it up all the way, laid on the pad side, pullet the blanket/canvas side over me and went to sleep. I was totally covered but I'm still glad it didn't rain that night lol. It felt like I was immediately shaken awake by my platoon sergeant, but six hours had passed. I was grateful for the extra rest.
I very much enjoy your videos and the blast of nostalgia I get from them. I'm sorta scared to look at your Etsy store bc I already have enough gear, and may be tempted to buy more lol (I'll still check it out).

When I was in the Boy Scouts in the late-50s/early-60s, our troop camped w/ US surplus shelter halves - each tentmate brought one-half to camp - they were great for that era…

[TheHumanSynthesisProject]

That kit would be hell for anyone to try to put together today. Kudos, very impressive

[CallEmAsISeeEm]

Born in 1954, my Dad was in the US Army during WWII. He brought home the identical surplus tent, 2 halves, in which I spent many nights camping out in the back yard as a kid. It brings back some good memories. Thanks Corporal!

I was in the Corps 89-93 and I remember the dehydrated pork and beef patty and dehydrated fruit. MRE's 29:48 have came a long way since then. Semper Fi!!!

[torycsummers]

In 1997 (Depending on The Month) I was Either Still Stationed (Assigned) to ROK or Stationed at Ft Belvoir Va. US Army here, and Yea We pretty much had all the same Gear, Weapon and Uniform as you are showing. Super Awesome Vid Btw. Thanks for the hard work put into it. Much appreciated. Above the Best ⭐️⭐️🌟

[joshuarendon]

Don't worry, the little tabasco bottles are back in the newer MRE's. If you get your hands on a case there are also newer menus.

[michaelprue]

‘89-‘93
Loved that little bottle of Tabasco sauce ! It was Heaven on earth.
My favorite MRE was the beef stew w Tabasco sauce,
2nd was the pork Pattie with crackers - cheese- and Tabasco sauce, 3rd was spaghetti with Tabasco sauce, and the rest were choked down or traded.
Everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE except me threw away the fruitcake, and when they found out I actually liked them I ended up with an MRE box full of fruitcakes.
Can’t help you with when they stopped putting the Tabasco sauce in, your time was after mine. Looks like the cuisine changed slightly as well.
I also liked the freeze dried coffee packs as well.
My shelter half’s aren’t in near as good of shape as yours are, but they still do the job. Wishing I could find the real deal poncho liners, need 2 of them.
Awesome video Corporal. Thanks

Mate from England, don’t pay attention to the knockers. There sat at home with a keyboard…
We all did our thing in our own regiments at the time with what they gave us and we cracked on …
We saw you yanks in Germany .. we took the piss because you had all the best gear (but no idea 😊) and were envious. But always in a respectful way mate which was reciprocated.
Enjoy your videos mate …..

Perfect example of military drill…Even 27 years later, he still easily knows how to do this stuff!

[ericjacobson]

Hell Yeah, been in since 1990 - still in - miss the old days

[jackwilliams]

Tobasco is back! Usually in white packets, about the size of a ketchup packet, some of them are in little plastic bottles similar to the old glass ones.
