This is why I'd love to mail him a crate of CalorieMates.

Tea is pretty serious business in the Baltic and Slavic countries. Having to wait for your tea water to boil and THEN heat up your main would be barbaric!
I like that they don't skimp on things like that too. I am sure in a cold climate you can never have enough fuel tabs for heating, and by being generous with stuff that costs nearly nothing like FRH's and stamped and cut tiny aluminum squares the troops don't have to do things like the Americans in 'nam did like pulling the C-4 out of claymore mines and cutting a hunk off to burn as fuel for improvised stoves.

I was told he was park ranger.
The GQ article in the first post says (Thomas, who works in landscaping, hasn’t served in the military.)
That was from 2017, though.
If he was I'm sure we would have seen a lot more camping style videos. Also, I bet if you asked him in the comments what he does for work he would respond.
I love his hints in the Colombian MRE review that it's possible that the difference between its advertised weight and what it actually weighs could be used to conceal other contents, and that's why customs opened up the package before delivering it to him.
"Man what's with all these extra azúcar packets? Colobians must really need their coffee sweet"
Glad to see there’s nothing but love for the guy when you see someone walk into frame puffing a 1940s cigarette and banter about historical stuff you just gain a level of admiration for the person

The cigarette reviews are probably my favorite part of his videos because it's not so easy to get vintage ones outside of old MREs. IIRC, he said the quality of cigarettes had already declined by the 1960s as the ones given out in Vietnam aren't as good as the ones from WW2.
Steve belongs on the list of good guys on YT, maybe one of the least-cowish popular YTers I am aware of.

i like that he strikes such a healthy balance of anonyminity vs being Perpetually Online. i feel like with how the youtube algorithm shines upon his universally-appealing content, it would be extremely tempting to try to monetize his online presence further by loosening up his boundaries. he says just enough to be likeable but not hateable, and for that i will watch his videos forever
Hell yeah. My bet is that the extra fuel is because someone took into account the fact that you'll often march and dig in drizzle and rain. Even with proper gear that will sap all the heat out of you, especially if you also have to dig in damp or wet ground. That one extra cup of tea or coffee you can heat up makes a massive difference in how you feel and operate.
In my eyes the dude is pure anticow. You could call him a dweeb eating processed shit for clout until you're blue in the face and he'd probably take a sip of his 60 year old Nescafe instant coffee, politely agree and keep on doing what he likes. Man's too chill for tard sperging.

He's back!
This man risks botulism to entertain his viewers.
Truly impressive.
Truly impressive.
45 minutes! He's spoiling us. With possibly spoiled food. Nice.
Damn, I love this guy's vids. I must have watched his whole catalog at least twice.
One of the few Tubers I feel I could sit down and chug a few beers with.
Only sad thing is listening to him call a LRP IMP vintage...I was like, shit! I used that all the time back in the day.
I guess I'm officially old now.

This is probably the most excited I've seen Steve, he seemed like a kid in this episode.
Also, smoke it uppp! Got some nice Philip Morris cigs. Always brings me satisfaction as a smoker to see him review that stuff.

just casually smoking a 1950s cigarette and drinking questionable instant coffee
the fucking mad lad

He doesn't do it to entertain us, he does it to preserve a record of the ration for the future. Or so he claimed from what I remember and I am more then willing to believe that with how Steve is.
Honestly I don't know what is more crazy doing it for views or doing it to preserve a record of history.
I love how the foulest language that comes out of his mouth is "heck."
"Smells like frogs and crawfish." And then he eats it.
Also am I the only person who had a vet adult give them a "C ration" and thought they were called "sea rations" and thought they were for sailors?
Steve is such a true man that botulism is afraid of HIM.
Also imagine being such a wholesome person you can make smoking a cigarette look healthy.
