I just knew this hobby was going to "go viral" when I saw Steve's video featured on Good Day LA!

It was about 2 months ago IIRC, they have this part where they check out videos that go viral on the net!

Ella did a great job reporting this community and not making us all look like nuts (like me)! Fantastic!

Kman and Gschultz you guys did terrific with the interviews - sadly I missed the boat on getting to directly chat with Ella - I am going to send her a message of thanks and maybe a future report/update could be in the works who knows?

Pretty amazing how this all started over a decade ago and what it's developed into - I remember just spending my allowance on MRE's as a kid.. then when I got my first job at 14 spending whole paychecks on them. First case of MRE's I had was when I was 8 - first case of IMP's was when I was 14. First vintage one I had was maybe when i was 18 or 19 - and now I live for this .. guess I always did though! :wink:
