The 10 Best Mountain House Meals

Hey guys, let me welcome you back to the channel. My name is Justin I’m, Judith you’re, watching survival mindset. Today we’re going to be reviewing the mountain house products. We haven’t reviewed. One of these ever have we now. So we got the chili mac and beef. We’re gonna, be using the MSR pocket rocket, stove right here to heat up our water. So let’s get that started right now. Did you already? You got what 16 ounces of water it requires, which is two cups, looks like this baby.

Getting hot here get not here, so we got the stove going full blast right now. We’re gonna be popping on we’re. Gonna turn this down, so we can put the water balance pretty good right about right. There don’t kick the table so three minutes in we got some boiling water good. You got the stove honey right, yep, okay, so now what you’re gonna do is you’re gonna pour the boiling water in the bag, steer well to mix it all up. One look in there smells good okay and then they say to close it for eight minutes.

Well, I would go a little longer because it really brings out the flavor a lot better. The longer you go quesa, that’s the chili mac with beef and beans. Still a lot of steam coming out of it. Mm-Hmm tastes, good yeah be pretty high blow it you blow it baby blow on it before you eat it. Yeah blow it. Okay, okay, we’re gonna, be trying this one out, mmm excellent, flavor really again, and when we get this one right here, 2014 yeah, so it’s 2017 right now we easily let these go for five years and then we’ll eat them all up, so they do last a long time.

You could go longer than that. I know you can, but we easy this go five years and at home we seal these inside of a home depot 5 gallon bucket with a lid and also, if you really want to get you know, preserve it. Well, you can vacuum seal the whole entire you in itself, yep, which is excellent, because you don’t want to have rodents or mice or rats breaking in your preps yep. So this was the mountain house reveal it’s an excellent one. I highly recommend it thanks for watching you’re watching survival mindset, peace out.

Trip is complete without eating we’re gonna. Try some mountain house freeze-dried food, see what that’s like this is a mountain house. Chili mac with beef is in its own bag. The coleman max little micro burner is 16 ounces of water in here water’s boiling, using this as a lid, a good idea to boil directions you’re supposed to open this okay. This looks great freeze, dried beans and pasta.

We’re gonna get rid of this silica stuff. Don’t want to eat that add the water. This is boiling. Oh, so stork stir thoroughly I can either get gonna, get something stirred go spork! That’s it this side! Now it says close it. Let it stand for eight to nine minutes and then eat see an eight to nine minutes. Just in the mountain house, chili mac with beef, I’ve added the boiling water waited the eight minutes, shake it up a little bit.

Let’s see what it looks like it’s still too hot to eat. Leave it steam coming out of there sit for another minute before it’s pretty good. You, like chili mac, we’ll see if it’s the bomb. Okay, we’re trying to mountain house chili mac bag is a little bags. A little too tall for just eating. With my spork make a better bowl. Okay, what I’ve got here looks pretty seriously yeah it’s beef, its chili, its beans.

That’s pretty good! Thank you! Mountain house, hmm I’ll, get this again.

A review on house for NOLA, with blueberries of all the boo, bear oh yeah, with Milton blueberries this one’s a little different. This one is you over the package and then you add a half cup of cold water. Usually everything is like warm water, let’s just add cold water, because it’s like granola and Millican blueberries needs to be cold, and then you just stir to just wet the ingredients, kind of rehydrate, my second and then enjoy.

That’s it super easy. Okay want to try some bad! That’s what it looks like lots of do, very goodness: I’ll get the first bite, I’m, very good I, don’t think you’ll eat this honey, but we can try mmm, that’s very, very good tastes like like cereal. Oh, oh, oh, okay, I’m trying it’s just a really big bite, okay, but you doesn’t like a lot of sauces and things, and this is kind of saucy a little bit again.

What did you know? Could you look like it? She spit it out girl there you go girl. Oh now she likes it. She’s had to get used to it, so it’s baby, Roker prude! It’s actually super super good, and this one is actually to survive. Oh dang, it so, of course, as I hate me more. This is her new favorite. Now, thank you so much for watching and have any questions. Let me know sexy, like.

I’m separated separated, Snow Peak I had ms are set up. We’ve got to get to snow peak. It all fits together once setting bowling up some water, four ounces of water, granola, milk and blueberries. We’re going to do hot, just make it hot gives it a nice hearty effect. Don’t drop the blueberries. Oh yeah, yum yum! You eat them up. Okay, give it the taste test: Rock milk, powdered milk, blueberries for Noah, so bad, no, better off! Is it as good as that bananas and go? Oh really.

The bananas in that was better. What brand was at was triple grande, how this tastes just like blueberries with granola, and that’s it yep yep sweet. Definitely I’m! Definitely you do you recommend it toward you. Go something different on a cold day are good to go. Okay! There you go. Let me have mine here. We go be right back alright! My turn! Oh yeah, not all that I do like the bananas better mmm yeah. Very much like you. Bananas just got a little sweet, blueberry, tation I! Guess! If you didn’t like banana, go with this choice, you want more watery.

If you want your open up more soupy just put in the water, it not I mean this, isn’t a gourmet meal knowing so much you can do it up meal, let’s go 1 to 10. What do you get it by seven yeah, all right that number? Seven good luck, number mountain house, vanilla with milk and blueberries, might wait to only four ounces man. Last night pitch dark middle of a forest. No one around I have my 102 lobe lumen headlight lets us I heard something walking sounds like oh crap and then I shined my light and way down.

There. I saw two green eyes. It’s true story, then, all sudden it goes to the right, I’m thinking, I’ll crap, this Bigfoot Sasquatch and then all sudden I see another feder pair of green eyes and it splits it goes. This way sounds like big rock whatever it is, is coming this way towards us towards the fire pit and I’m like aw man. This could be it I had to say: I did think that and then all of a sudden brew and Rob it was what dogs dogs on GPS is.

They were just here when I ran around and they were out they just let him run through these tire forests in these mountains and they just go off and looking for Coons and that’s what it was. They came check this out, scared, the out of us and then and then they just disappeared, played in the water and left. But that was a interesting and then later on, there was a couple of hundreds. They must have been tracking a couple hours later. There’s a road up here: old logging, road or mine, road, whatever came up and they knew we were here, but we were sleeping at that point.

So that’s our story. Man, that’s her war story was the deliverance. Wasn’t it thank God? It wasn’t deliverance part to see. I bet you are you gonna haul, ass I’ll be good I’d, be like locked up. Looking like a a hammock pot pie got stuck in my my setup: hey go, Jase team is 2010, big, rub sign up.

Bring it to another awesome food review. What we’re looking at is this mountain house granola with milk and blueberries the nutritional facts will be below. We don’t want to bore you with those. So what we’re gonna do is basically give you our opinion of how good it is. Let’s dive in bounces, the granola calls for half a cup of water. Unique thing about this mountain house compared to others is, it does not require hot water, so you can actually use a cold water, so we’re shaking this up a little bit.

We stirred it up and I would say: that’s probably pretty good. Go ahead. James we’re all gonna, try this and distribute it out evenly as possible I’m trying to get some granola. So on first glance it is a very interesting color because the blueberries have actually made the entire all the milk turn blue, which makes it quite interesting. I wish there was more granola I feel like there’s a lot of milk there’s a lot of liquid.

So what we’re gonna see, how it tastes, tastes like cold granola, milk, yeah I mean I’m, a huge mountain house fan and tried a couple other things now and I’m, usually pretty happy I, don’t know if it’s like cereal, where you have to find that sweet spot of where it’s too crunchy to where you know, then it gets too soggy. You have to find that part where it’s all soaked in, but to me it seems really watery.

So if you take a look at that bite, I tried to drain some of the liquid out, so you can see the blueberries and the granola um I, don’t know for me. It feels kind of it seems kind of chalky in a way. I don’t know might be that powdered milk yeah, the texture is kind of weird for me, see that labor is good. I, honestly, like it I’m used to bringing in powdered milk on the trail, so I think that’s probably what’s mostly tripping you guys up.

Is the powdered milk I’m used to bringing that I normally bring in granola and powdered milk anyway, yeah I mean I. Think it’s just though it’s not the flavor I, like the flavor tastes. Fine, it’s just the consistency that super watery like I mean I, do like that. It has a lot of blueberries. I mean every the blueberry tastes, good yeah look, there’s been whenever I separate out the blueberries in the granola and drain the liquid.

It’s actually quite good, yeah yeah! That’s my thing too, like when you drain it out, and you have just your granola and your blueberries. It’s not bad! So I put this one kind of firmly in the middle I, wouldn’t give it a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. I feel like for the price that you pay for a mountain house. This just isn’t worth it. Yeah I could easily go and get some granola powdered milk for probably half the price, but it does taste good in my opinion.

So that’s why I’m giving it the the middle thumb honestly I’m gonna, give it a thumbs down. Lay like saya was saying you know for the price you pay for a mountain house. It just doesn’t seem worth it. You can get some granola, even some raisins that are gonna. You know they’re gonna, last better on the trail and everything and some powdered, milk and and you’re gonna have a better product. It tastes, okay, I, just I think there are a lot better mountain houses out there, it’s nice, because it’s quick, you just throw some water in it.

You don’t have to boil it or anything, but it’s not worth it to me all right. So this one for me gets a thumbs down. You know: I, wasn’t overly excited by the texture of the food along with you know, looking at the price point for granola, you know you can get a huge pack of 12 instant granolas, for you know a buck or two. You could buy four boxes of those for the same price and how much was this just this was four dollars and fifty cents on Amazon so which is about the same price.

You’ll pay at Walmart RDI any other retailer for this specific mountain house and honestly, it’s not worth the price if you just grab something in a pinch, that’s great, but overall, no well inside! You could, probably you know, you’ve done this more, but you could probably buy all the stuff to have this for breakfast every day on a multi-day trip for less than what you would pay just for this one pack, oh yeah, definitely I mean you can get a whole box of granola for 450, like normal size, cereal box, so overall I mean, while we are fans of the mountain house brand and some of the products that they have.

We think this one is just a Miss. We definitely would not recommend this one to take out on the trail with you, thanks for watching everybody.

We actually did pretty good with lining up the pointing to yep I mean have to Taemin or anything.

Everybody Travis in Mud, Creek calm, want to do a quick review of one of my other favorite desserts here. Austin is probably my favorite I love these from mountain house. As far as something to throw in your food storage, these come in cases of 12 or you can just buy them individually as well from us. You know it’s probably worth it just to buy them the case to make it worth the value, because that you know they look like they’re decent size, but really it’s just a small Ice Cream Sandwich in there.

So this is the mountain house: Ice Cream Sandwich, it’s freeze-dried and almost like one of those astronaut ice cream type of thing. Almost just give you real quick here: dimensions about 5 inches by 8 and a half to 9 inches, and it’s only about an inch wide I throw this little cup there just kind of all rub, so you can see it so ignore that. So this is a single serving dessert.

It’s going to be one for one person and see if I’m going to show you I’ll just pull up here and show you a bit. Hopefully, you can read that a little bit getting focus here, but it’s 170 calories, one serving per pouch 60 calories from fat, total fat, 7, 7 grams or 7 calories. Excuse me, 7, saturated fats, 3 grams, sotol, fat 7 carbohydrates is 26 grams, 14 3 grams.

Obviously this is more for just eating. Essentially, all I’ve done is taken an Ice Cream Sandwich, so the actual ice cream bit. So you understand, is just that part. So you know if there’s one con or one thing I don’t like about there’s, definitely a lot of packaging for what you get. If you’re you know an ultralight, backpacker or trying to conserve conserve on weight that might bug you a little bit.

They don’t weigh a whole lot they’re. Only at one point one: three ounces. So one point 13 ounces: that’s not that not that bad or 32 grams. So it’s not like it’s that big a deal anyway. If I were going on a big trip and taking these with me and we’re, you know, I’m going to eat them fairly quickly. I’d, probably just open them up and throw a bunch in and like a combine them up into like a ziploc bag or something so that is what you get inside these it’s essentially just like an Ice Cream Sandwich you’d buy at the store and they’ve taken it and freeze-dried it.

So it literally is an Ice Cream Sandwich. You know they’re they’re, already kind of open, usually when you open them up make that way, so it tears open real easily every once while to be broken a little bit this one’s, not too bad. So that’s it literally. It’s an Ice, Cream Sandwich since dehydrated. What I typically do is just break off some chunks if you’re walking around long a snack, not hunter or whatever.

This is kind of fun. Kids, like my kids, really enjoy these. They think they’re fun I enjoy them, even even when I’m, not out in the woods or anything or food storage, sometimes we’re just kind of a fun little snack, something different, so tear a partner, and you can kind of see you know it’s got like a somewhat of a chalky look to it, but it doesn’t taste chalky.

It’s not. It goes down very creamy. We give you a bite here, kind of falls apart a little bit, but the actual cream part ice cream part is real. Creamy goes down real. Well, you know in the cookie part that it tastes about just like wood before they freeze dried it. So you know it’s. Actually. The cookie part is pretty flavorful. So I like these I, think they’re a lot of fun.

If you haven’t had them and you just want to try it sometime, they’re, honestly kind of cool and it’s worth giving a shot, just have to try it out sometime and see what you think bet tab I, like my definitely throwing my pouch I, think to buy, make worth it’s worth buying. You know multiples at a time. You know if you’re not sure go buy it I mean on our website you’re more welcome to buy one if you want or, however many like, but you know it’s a great little snack and- and you know, they’re pretty filling.

Actually they just kind of take that edge off after you’ve been hiking for a while or or you know after dinner, and you just need a little bit more I really like these. So I I think you can’t go wrong with my highly recommend them. They taste really good to me. I have no complaints about them likes it. The only con or the only disadvantage, I’d say, is obviously the size a little bit but other than that they’re great, so I definitely throw these in my food storage or a backpacker or for hunting and whatnot.

So I hope. This review is helpful. Come check us out at Mud, Creek comm and you can read the you know the full review there and we’ll also have these on sale there. So you can buy them direct from us thanks and come check us out.

Urban Survival back with another mountain house review. Today we got freeze-dried lasagna with meat sauce yeah, it’s another another mountain house, as always Mountain House with their servings. Today we got two and a half servings I never had this before, but I’m sure, because they always got the servings wrong that this is probably enough for maybe one half people half person assuming a child, a kid there’s no way.

This is serving two people, two adults and one kid they always have. The servings marked as it feeds more I, don’t know really wish they would straighten that out. I also like to know what is so funny every mountain house package everybody’s sitting around a camp laughing like to know what the big joke is. There anyhow freeze-dried lasagna with all freeze-dried Mountain, House meals, they’re good for 25 years, so we got a date 2047.

So with that kind of storage date, you know basic good, forever, they’re, perfect, perfect to keep on hand, for you know, survival situation or whatever you know, obviously the made for not really made for emergency food they’re made for camping, backpack and whatever. If I never mentioned it before in a previous video, I will mention now they have a really high salt content, some way more than others.

You know for flavor, but if your backpack and a hiking camping rather- and you know, expended a lot of energy, you need to replace the salt you’re, probably sweating all day in a survival situation, be it whatever flood or tornado you’re stuck home after disaster and you’re. Just laying around I expended a lot of energy drink a lot of water with these they’re.

Just you know a lot of salt in them. Anyway, let’s get her open, see little tab. There is the zippers I want to try to pull straight across well, well, see I, don’t want to ruin the zipper I’m gonna actually turn it around now go to the other other side and go across almost almost it’s a zipper. Alright, let’s go ahead and take a look so see on that side.

There’s a cheese chunks of beef. It’s actually real beef, not like a soy crumble, it’s actually real meat and the noodles, and now we see chunks of sauce up, see, see it in there somewhere. I. Take this guy out. Do not eat we’ll discard that we don’t need that. Now. If you go ahead and forget to take that out, it’s perfectly safe, they say you could add the water prepare it and if you’re eating you find it later, just take it out and discard it, then the food’s totally safe.

So let’s go ahead, I’m, adding a little bit less. Like always, it calls for two cups of water, just a tad tiny bit less we’re gonna add in here just because they always call for more and ends a blue watery. So let’s go ahead. Stir that up sure you stir it up really well get all the way down to the bottom. The corners stare that up really good. Oh, it actually smells good.

Huh smells good already. Wow smells pretty good. I think this is gonna, be a tasty one. It could be wrong, but it smells like it’s gonna be good anyway. Alright 9 minutes. So, let’s try to close the Rope put out burning myself. Well, steam come now. Alright, nine minutes, gonna, give it a stir. Probably halfway through I, usually do and then we’ll take a look and see what we got alright.

So it’s been about in about four minutes. It looks like just go ahead, give it another pretty good! Oh, this is hot down here. It was another good stir and we’ll leave it for the remaining about five minutes, so get it a little close back up and let’s keep waiting alright. So it’s been about nine minutes. Let’s uh I can’t even get it open here. Let’s open it up, see what we got give it a stir: yeah put a little less water is good.

It came out perfect, not watery at all, and this is what you see. Probably not. This is smoking. Hot I mean steaming. So now, if you out in the cold in a colder climate, you could wrap something around it. You know wrap a blanket. A towel is sure to Jackson around it to insulate it. So it’s nice and hot. When you go to eat it. Alright, let’s take a better look at this here: let’s take a better look: let’s get this out onto a plate, nice! No! No! Once again! Well, they said two and a half servings.

Let’s spin it around here, figure, yeah, I, don’t know what you guys. Let me know in the comments what you think, but I don’t know, definitely not two and a half for an adult two and a half two adults and a kid I, don’t even think so, I mean unless you eaten something else with it. Then you know okay. This is like a side, but just on its own just see this will not feed I, don’t think it’ll feed two people so anyway, let’s check it out.

Whoa I could get it here. Mmm ha well, like I thought how it smelled. That’s how it tastes. It’s pretty good. Pretty good I mean you got the real beef real chunks of beef. That’s not that soy crumble, real dehydrated beef texture is perfect. Now, just like regular, you know beef and a meat, sauce, Oh, Parmesan cheese, taste, a little pepper, the pastas perfect, perfect al dente, not too mushy, not too hard, so mmm.

This is actually good. It’s actually very good. Yeah taste a little garlic, even little garlic. It’s not that salty for a mountain house, Mountain House meal, not that salty at all. How does a perfect amount of salt? You see the cheese see the cheese melt it on the spoon there. Mm-Hmm not bad got chunks of tomatoes, real tomatoes in there, so not bad at all.

I’m gonna go ahead, dig in and finish this up so say: I give this about 8 8 out of 10, definitely 8 out of 10, pretty good one of their better one of their better ones. It’s just a portion, so I don’t know but good to keep on hand survival situation. Definitely they don’t take up a lot of room, throw a couple in the closet and the pantry or whatever, whatever room you got.

You know as for most of the meals, they got it’s comfort food. You know, lasagna with meat sauce, definitely comfort. Food son- you remember the kids, remember mmm, so that’s about all we got today, thanks for watching ma’am leave a comment. What you think about these uh portions as I don’t know: I could eat. Probably almost all this I could eat about this much I’d say: I could eat all this, maybe even a little more definitely not two and a half.

But let me know comment where your favorite mountain house meal is also yeah, we’ll see in the next video. As always, thanks for watching go ahead and subscribe, I have a lot of exciting things. Coming up, I’m going to start to and mi REE reviews and also Gold pay dirt reviews that should be fun. Then, of course continue on with the EDC stuff and knife reviews.

Welcome back to the channel guys review a tv coming in with another survival food video we’ve been showing you guys some mre videos in the past um. If you haven’t seen them check out the description box below I’ll shoot some links in there, so you guys can check those videos out as well. We wanted to show you guys some alternative survival food today. Are you guys prepared? But no are you guys ready to prepare yourself for a food shortage? There’s a possibility. There may be a time where you’re able to not get through to the stores and get food for days.

It could even be weeks or months. Who knows we can never depend on our law enforcement or our governments or anyone to give us actual legitimate information that could steer us through down the right path to be prepared for these types of uh civil unrest or not even necessarily civil unrest, national disasters, things that mother nature could uh take upon us as well. So with that being said, let’s check out some of these food items that we have today and we’ll taste test a bunch of these and suggest some of these items to you guys that you can put together for your own survival.

Food packs, not just mres. So let’s go over a few of these different food items and food accessories, guys that um can be options that you guys may consider when you guys are putting together some survival food for yourselves um. I’ve been browsing around just looking at different things other than the traditional mres showed you guys. A few mres, like I mentioned before, um the videos that we did that had different types of uh food items. This is a ready pack meal. This is one of the homestyle vegetables sauce for noodles and chicken comes with your traditional heater pack.

Um comes with a side item and like a smoothie and then uh, of course, your main meal, but we’re not really focusing on those, because we’re gonna have plenty of videos in the future on particular mres, and we’ve already done one on this. So if you guys haven’t seen that one check it out um today, we wanted to try one of the freeze-dried, uh meals and then put together a few alternative food accessory items. To give you guys the satisfaction in the meal you’re. Looking for um, I’m gonna choose out of the three different ones that I’m displaying today, which is the beef stroganoff with noodles.

This one comes in a savory cream, sauce with mushrooms and onions and uh. Once again, if you look at the expiration date on this, we’re looking at 2050, so that’s a 30-year expiration date, guys um these things last forever, so definitely a recommendation as long as there’s water available. Then you should be able to cook these. If you don’t have canteens or things that you can bring, you can also bring filtration devices to get water from rivers or whatever you would need. If you were trying to eat this and we’re lacking water.

This one is the chicken fried rice. This one comes with green peas, onions, carrots and mushrooms same thing doesn’t expire until november of 2015 uh. The one we’re gonna try today, though, is one that I think would be one of my favorites. This is the beef stew. It comes with hearty gravy, beef, potatoes, carrots and peas. We’re gonna, try that and we’re gonna throw in a different food items, we’ll end with a dessert, uh ice cream sandwich, freeze dried: this is the mint chocolate chip version um these ones.

Also don’t ex this one isn’t quite as long as the actual meal, the freeze, dried ice cream sandwich shows an expiration date of 2022, so these only last a few years, probably because of sugar and other uh ingredients in there uh. I bought this. This is a long life food depot pack of peanut butter and this actually comes in the chunky. This is supposedly a new item. This chunky version of the peanut butter wasn’t always something that was an available item just because it might be possibly harder to get the peanut butter out when you’re trying to squeeze it with chunks, but I myself would agree to disagree.

So here’s how it comes comes with lots of little packets and I can feel it. It feels really really fresh. This is what it’s looking like. Uh total calories is 160 13 grams of fat um and inside these variety packs you guys can see it just comes with a large amount of just tons of chunky, peanut butter. So these are cool to order guys to keep on the side. So you can take freeze-dried food if you’re not feeling the mre, sometimes the the repetitive taste of an mre, all taste the same um. It depends.

You know you get into some of the higher dollar mres and you can get some more of the competitive items in there. But when you’re buying bulk and you’re buying around the 70 to 80 range mres, they typically have a lot of meals that, although are different taste the same, so these are good alternatives if you’re tired of the mre scene- and you want to be able to just have some different stuff. These are all different things that are currently available. As far as the breads go guys um, they come in boxes of 12, there’s just all kinds of different flavors.

I got marble pound cake um. Let’s see that’s another! Marble- and I don’t have them all here- that’s another marble. We got the lemon poppy uh lemon poppy, uh, vanilla, pound cake, there’s just a bunch of different ones. I just packed a few of the same: didn’t really put it in any particular order, but guys keeping all these extra pound, cakes and things around uh really make a good mixture for your meal. So now look we’ve uh. We have something to eat along with the beef stew and pull out the marble pound cake, or we can actually use the crackers and then have that as one of the sides- and you can even put some chunky peanut butter on your marble pound cake, you can down it with an ice cream, freeze, dried sandwich.

So with that being said, let’s look at some of the other items here. We have um things to consider. Teas can take you these little tiny containers. My wife took me over to the home store the other day and we were able to find these cool little uh containers they actually uh work really well and they have clips on them. This is kind of like a feature. I don’t want to show you guys today I like to keep some earl grey myself, guys t um, I like coffee and tea, it’s winter time right now, currently still so we’re trending in the 30s, the 50s, depending on the uh weather surrounding us that, week or day I should say um other things to consider when making your meals is uh.

This mre uh beverage based raspberry. They come in like lemon raspberry uh. Probably I don’t know if they come in grape or strawberry or cherry, but um. Some of the common flavors are like raspberry lemon. So you guys can bring these types of beverages if you’re not wanting to drink, just coffee and tea all the time um. Other things that I consider to bring is either. If you’re, not someone that likes sweet coffee, you can get these uh nest cafe: tasters choice, packets and it’s a single cup um of instant coffee.

It comes black, so if you’re going to want to take black coffee and not have the three in one mixture that a lot of these come with, you may consider just taking a little container of uh. Some of your creamer- this is the uh delight french vanilla. So it’s easy to pack a lot of these little things. You can take your little tiny, uh tub like I have back here. This is one of the coolers I’ve been showing you guys and previously, and some of the other mre videos. I can fit a lot of this stuff in there and take it on the trip with me.

Um. One of the other items that you can take along with the dark coffee is, of course, these. They come in a three-in-one packets nest. Cafe um they’re ready to go guys, they taste like it, has uh sweetener, creamer, all the above and that all in one, so we’re gonna go ahead and work with some of these items and the taste testing that we’re gonna do today, we’ll uh try some of these crackers with the beef stew and then we’ll get a few different beverage drinks going, and then we have some peanut butter and pound cake.

So, let’s get ready to do this all right, so guys we’ll put the meal to the side for a second, let’s prep, some water uh for the beef stew and then for our coffee and then we’ll get some crackers ready to go too. I do have a featured item today. What we’re gonna use um as far as heating up the water and I’ll show you a couple of things that come inside this featured item uh. As far as opening our can it’s good to keep one of these around you can find them at your local sports stores. Sportsman’s warehouse carries these couple dollars for a couple of them.

These are the traditional old-school can openers made from carbon steel and they’re nickel plated so stay sharp for years. They work great for opening these. If you don’t have electricity to use, your electric can opener um. As far as this little kit goes. As far as making this, I picked up this kit on amazon. This kit comes with a wee little spoon or oh. What the heck was. That was that supposed to be a small pirate but anyways a wee little spoon and then cool comes with a lid. I guess that goes there, and then we have oh shoot.

Look at that guys. Look at that little tiny coffee pot, not even a coffee pot, but a hot water pot. It has some other things inside of it. I’m gonna show you guys this as we’re getting our food prepared. Um comes with a pot to heat up stuff in. If we weren’t going to use the bag to heat it up, we would use these pots, which are kind of cool. You got a frying pan as well for this particular kit link in the description below. If you guys want this kit to be able to use so it comes with both of those pots.

It does have a lid for your cook pot, your frying, pan, here’s a lid that would go to your actual hot water pot, cool little tiny handle um. We have some little tiny containers to use which are cool because if you’re gonna make this for two which actually this is a serving for two guys. So if you’re gonna make this for you and your significant other, then uh, basically you’ll have enough uh and you’ll have little serving bowls that aren’t so big, so not so many dishes to clean up in this particular little kit too.

It comes with these little silverware items and they have little folding handles like there’s your fork. It’s made of stainless steel, so pretty cool stuff works. Well, you get a fork, a spoon and they’re all made of metal, no plastic and a shank. No I’m just kidding it’s a butter knife so looks like a little sponge for cleaning your actual silverware and bowl. I don’t know how good that’s gonna last, but also a dipping spoon in case you didn’t want to reach in here and pour it out. You could just take some scoops put it in your bowls and voila.

So we’re going to share this today when we go to eat it, we’ll get rid of some of these items and come back to you when it’s time to start the food okay guys. So let’s make some hot water uh for the meal and for the beverage whether it’s tea or coffee, we choose we’ll we’ll make a decision a minute. I’m gonna use two different stoves today, guys if you’ve watched the previous videos, as I’ve mentioned, you’ll see these stoves at work cooking, some of our food and stuff. This one takes tablets folds up just like that.

I use pie pans to place my stoves on for table top reasons. I’d recommend with these types guys, if you’re using these little uh fuel pellets that you only start with two sometimes three can get the flame going a little bit too high, which will actually cause it to uh flame up over the top of your pot, and it can melt these types of plastic uh components on your stuff, so be careful of those. What I want to try is to light this with this little kit, this little kit that I just showed you with the pots and the dishes and the silverware comes with a little fire starter too, and I’ve actually never even really use this guys um.

It comes with the fire starting stick and then the little scraper I guess to cause the sparks I’m spoiled. So that’s what it looks like it’s a smaller version, um I’m spoiled, but I want to see what it’s like to get this thing started. So, let’s try it out guys see if I can get it and just like that, that’s cool! So guys these would be cool. You can get the little fire starting uh, it’s like string or like a cotton or something and what you would do is you would take it and you would put it in between the little sticks that you were going to use and then uh that little spark that you seen that lit.

That would be sufficient enough to actually start the fire. If you were gonna use wood in your outdoors, so pretty cool little item you’ve seen it work. If you don’t have a lighter, that’s the alternative. It’s not gonna be the same for this one. This one, however, and I’ll swap places what I can do when I start the water. In my bigger pot, this one’s gonna take a little bit longer than the smaller one, so I’ll go ahead and get this to roll in 64 ounces of water. Guys. I’ve mentioned this before and some of my other mre videos, but that should be enough to be able to cook the freeze-dried beef meal.

We’ll put that on there, like, I say, look on the bottom kind of until you get used to how you’re gonna keep that up. There get that flame a little bit hotter um get some water in this one too. This one’s much smaller. This would be sufficient if you guys were just making like some coffee or whatnot. So we’re gonna try this smaller little teapot pretty cool. I think it’s neat you can look inside and just fill it up so you’re at the bottom of that neck. That way, it doesn’t leak out. Put that on there.

The difference between the two guys is this one doesn’t whistle you’ll just see it steaming this one whistles um! Now for this, if I had matches which I don’t have with me, I would use that to actually uh start the fire with this. But since I don’t have the matches, I’m just gonna go ahead and use my lighter um. You can see how quick they start up. It doesn’t take much to get this thing going either. Just a few seconds of your lighter it’ll eventually pass on to the other tablet, then we can just stick this little guy right up there like that, and then we can just stick these off to the side for a minute and let those heat up and then, while that’s heating up, we can go ahead and get the food ready.

Let’s see what this uh freeze-dried food looks like um before we even pour any water in it. I don’t even see a tear line on this. Of course, why would there be? Oh here we go all the way down, just really down low, all right, zip, lock. So guys, if you haven’t seen what this looks like then uh, that’s what it looks like ahead of time and that’s the beef stew with a hearty gravy with beef, potatoes, carrots and peas comes looking kind of funky like some stuffing that’s what we’re gonna put our hot water in um.

I think today, out of the three that I’ve already showed you, the tea, the three in one coffee or the dark, I’m going to go with a tea. Today, I’ve been doing coffee lately and I’m ready for some tea. So we’ll do the earl grey, which is the traditional tea I like to get um when I uh buy teas I’ll just adjust that a little bit. So you guys you can see how good that these little stoves work uh your high pressure burner. If you turn it up, is gonna boil in two to three minutes. This one can take a little bit longer um when you’re done, if you’re not done if the tablets are still going, but you’re done using the burner.

Uh you’re, probably just gonna, have to dump some water on that. To put it out or just let it burn out, naturally, they will burn out by themselves. Let’s look at the other items that we have so we’ll put the dessert off to the side for a minute. We have these crackers. Let’s open these crackers up guys. I’ve never had this particular brand of pilot crackers. This could take a little while to do that’s how you get it in there just like that, then you kind of just do this number and you got to go around the whole can like this.

So get a good grip, and until you get the hang of this, it’s not going to be that easy guys. You got to use a little bit of thumb pressure and look at that all right guys. Almost there pretty cool stuff here, this thing’s pretty sharp there. It is. I bet you, these crackers are gonna, be a little broken up and I was right. Fresh packet. Is this salt? What is that harmless, nope absorbent, look at that guys, wow they’re all kind of broken up, but they still taste good. What do these remind me of um? I’m not sure.

Honestly, it’s only the top cracker, that’s broken guys. If you go down below there’s the whole crackers that are still intact. It’s just shipping on these can cause them to break up a little bit. These are probably going to go really good with the beef stew, sometimes with beef. Stews people have items such as cornbread or biscuits, or something to go with your beef too. So this is going to be our dried biscuits. Canned biscuits we’ll have our pound cake I’ll, put a little bit of chunky, peanut butter on that for the sweetness and we’ll have him make our tea.

So once the water is done, we’ll get everything else started, wow guys, I’m kind of impressed. I don’t have this up that high. If I would have turned it up higher, it would have cooked faster or been done, but look at this one. This is off of just the natural little tablets and the burn stove. This is burning. I can feel it bubbling in there. It’s not burning, but it’s boiling. I should say: I’m gonna set that down there off to the side and then that’s what the tablets look like. You can continue to just stay warm if it’s cold.

It’s uh been pretty chilly out here, where we’re at um in the 30s to 50s. So that feels good. This one will whistle um, let’s go ahead and make our tea. Let’s get the beverage ready. Perfect still got a little bit of water left over too guys all right guys, it’s finally boiling wow. This guy was able to heat up that little bit of water faster than the high pressure with a little bit more water, we’ll let that sit for just a second, let’s go ahead and make something to drink, to go with our tea, some cold, we’re gonna, use this uh beverage based raspberry, I’m gonna! Just let you guys know off the top of my head that I wouldn’t pour it all in there.

Um I’ve had this drink before and the powder is artificially uh sugar. So it’s probably like a saccharine or something, but I would just pour a little bit in there at a time, not even half the pack honestly, this thing just uh it will definitely be painted and then the water to go with my freeze-dried food. Let’s see how this tastes. Sometimes I don’t get this mix right. It’s kind of trial and error thing with this, but it is something to have that’s a little bit sweet and cold just the way I like it, and these crackers are delicious to go with it.

So let’s go ahead and get some hot water inside of this, and then you guys can see right there all right, let’s go ahead and put some water in there. I’m just going to pour that in there like. So you don’t want to put too much in at a time you want to mix it into a little bit at a time. One thing you always want to make sure to get out is that guy do not eat oops, but there you go. So don’t remember when you guys are getting these to take out the little absorbing packet that didn’t do nothing to us for just now when we poured it in there, it’s getting kind of thick already, I’m gonna add a tiny bit more water to it.

You can see that some of the powder is not quite absorbed, don’t go too much at a time guys it tells you kind of where to do it, but I, like mine, texture, the way I like it not the way they want me to do it, and then you can kind of just mix that and look how luscious that looks dang. I can smell that and that smells delicious um kind of a mush, but you want to let it sit for a little bit, zip that up and then we’ll just go ahead and let it absorb the rest of the water in there. I still have a little bit of hot water left.

If I want to go ahead and use that if I don’t like the way it tastes um, let’s check out the pound cake and I’ll keep this actually off to the side. In case I decided, I want a second glass of raspberry drink uh. We have the marble pound cake, this one to be specific, has 300 calories in it’s 14 grams of fat, see what it looks like guys. I haven’t had one of these ones: I’ve had the poppy lemon and that one was delicious, but I haven’t had one of these and a lot of these products all come with these little absorbing packets.

So make sure you guys get those out. You don’t want to take a bite of that that would kind of taste disgusting um. Look at that look at the marbling in this thing, guys zoom in on that wow. Look at that looks really delicious. It’s got a great texture, oh yeah, it smells beautiful. It smells like that angel cake with a touch of chocolate. Let’s see what the center of this looks like delicious guys delicious. I think it looks awesome. I think that’s going to be a wonderful touch to this particular meal.

Let’s um! Let’s look at the peanut butter too, we’ll just put the peanut butter out and uh. If we want to use it, we can a little bit tough to open but we’ll get it. This is the chunky, peanut butter, guys. If you watched my last video, we did a an mre which was about eight years old. We were interested to see what it looked like, even though it was expired. Uh it came with some peanut butter similar to this definitely wasn’t like this one. You can tell fresh peanut butter when you get it now.

I understand what they were saying about when you’re trying to get the chunky out, you can feel the little chunks of peanut butter kind of it’s hard to get it out, but we’ll make it work that tastes really fresh guys. That’s gonna go good um. The alternative is going to be the crackers with the beef stew, which we’re gonna dump it out and show you guys exactly what it looks like um. It’s probably almost done. I’m gonna give it another minute or so uh. Let me see if I get one of these hole crackers out kind of it’s they’re kind of hard to get out guys.

It’s no wonder they break, but look. We can get this guy out up kind of shattered, but you can see the whole crackers in there. It’s really just the top couple that shatter you can eat those like. You would like a snack that tastes wonderful, they’re, not too bland and they’re, not too dry. They wash down great with that raspberry um. Let’s try some with some peanut butter. Let’s see how this chunky, peanut butter is guys spreads nicely looks wonderful, smells and tastes great wow. This is probably fresher than the peanut butter I get inside of containers at the store when I buy it delicious I’m the type of person that could just get a pack of saltines and then put like peanut butter and jelly on them for a snack.

This is delicious. Those pilot crackers really go well with this peanut butter. Definitely a good selection to start the meal with I’m gonna pour some of this down, because I might even use some of those crumbs to go in my beef stew, you guys after you pour it out. Okay, let’s check out the main course. Let me put my drinks off to the side here. You guys can hear that motor. That’s another one of the beasts here in the background, my neighbor has one too so so look at it guys. It almost looks like a stuffing first impressions.

It cooked up really. Well, though, look at that texture that texture is wonderful, it has chunks of beef little chunks of potatoes. Carrots peas has a wonderful, looking gravy. Let’s pour this out, so we can actually see it all wow. This is this is awesome guys, and this is supposed to be enough for two people. It actually looks like it’s enough for you and your significant other keep in mind, guys, adventure, meals, mountain house, that’s what we’re using today, expiration date of 30 years, just a little bit of water, uh calories per servings, 200 total containers, 400 calories, um.

Let’s, let’s try this out guys. I’ve been waiting to anxiously, try this and you see that we added our own crackers, marble cake. We have peanut butter to go with the crackers um, and then we have the beef stew. So let’s try this beef stew on one of our cool little new spoons here that smells wonderful guys. It literally smells like a beef pot pie. I want to burn my mouth though, as hungry as I am, because I haven’t eaten all day wow that was totally delicious. I might have been able to let it sit for just another couple, more minutes of a tiny bit more water, but still it’s not even bad right now I use biscuits, it tastes delicious with it.

The carrots definitely stick out in flavor they taste fresh. The gravy almost reminds me of a gravy from the salisbury steak. Meals doesn’t taste like salisbury steak, but it has a gravy texture like that. The peas are still really intact and they they mush down smoothly. The potatoes are not hard to uh miss. They have a wonderful taste to them. They still taste fresh and overall guys it. It looks like a mush, but it’s really really good. All right guys, I’m gonna, take this pause, wouldn’t be right.

If I didn’t share some of this with my loyalist cameraman, like I said this is this: is enough for two people cameraman cheers, so I’m gonna finish that up even take some of these dry crackers. Put them inside like that mix it around, and it’s going to be a hearty meal. Guys! It’s wonderful! I really do like the freeze-dried food. I would even consider buying a commercial freeze, drying machine and actually tries freeze drying. My own food, if I was out in the woods and I’ve talked about this in my previous videos, my brand new step is being satisfied with food.

That’ll. Keep me feeling full and will keep me focused during the day or whatever it is. I’m engaged in I’m telling you food makes all the difference. People can be hangry, they lose focus they’re miserable you eat ready to go. You know what I want to try a little bit of this peanut butter on a piece of my cake. Look at that! Nothing spreads so nicely guys. That’s wonderful! That’s a heck of a dessert to have delicious absolutely delicious this tea, not marble cake or peanut butter and ariel gray, is my favorite.

It’s the only tea I like without sugar and milk, just plain by itself, so guys I’m hooked on this. I actually like this still set up today, better than I like, sometimes mres, and I would definitely buy it and considering the fact that you get 50-year expert or 30-year I’m sorry. 2050 is the date for expiration of this particular meal, but 30 years. That’s a long time. I’d be interested to wait like 15 years and then come back and cook it and just to see how it would actually come out aged 15 years, but as it stands right now guys, this is absolutely delicious for what it is, the raspberry beverage it helps to rinse down the drier foods.

Peanut butter can dry you out a little bit. How was that cameraman, awesome and cameraman? Guys sharing is caring. It’s my slogan. I don’t eat a whole lot, but I like to share everyone should feel full and happy, and even after that guys we still have the final dessert. As you can see, I cleaned my plate and everything fits together great, so guys. Real, quick freeze, dried beef, stew, pilot crackers in the can amazon, raspberry beverage drink comes in a big bag of like 30 of them, amazon, the peanut butter packs chunky peanut butter, either your coffee black add a little bit of creamer three in one.

I chose the earl grey tea today. So let’s get to dessert all right guys, there’s only one thing left and that’s the dessert: the ice cream freeze-dried chocolate, mint sandwich. I’ve tried a regular one, but I haven’t tried the mint chocolate chips, so I’m not quite sure how this one’s gonna taste, but that’s how it comes guys. Just a simple expiration date. 2022 and the year is 20 21 right now, so we got a year on these guys. So if you’re gonna have these, I wouldn’t buy them in bulk per se.

I’d buy them for your particular events, so they don’t go bad. It would be a waste of money they’re about three to four dollars, a piece. Here’s the unwrapping. Look at that guys. That is crazy. Can you believe that freeze dried ice cream sandwich smells great? It’s just. It blows my mind that it’s to be able to freeze dry ice cream. Like I don’t know, is there something I’m missing here, or can you really just freeze dry ice cream? Try it out man, let’s see, hmm same texture as the originals.

It’s not overpoweringly, minty, guys! That’s awesome! In fact, I like this one better than the original, because it just gives it a little bit better of a flavor than the vanilla. The vanilla freeze, dried is cool, but it’s not this cool. I like the mint chocolate chip. Oh hard, the cookie is still fresh. I wonder what would happen if we added water to one of these. Would it just blow up like a freeze-dried ice cream sandwich? I don’t know. Am I supposed to. Where are you supposed to add water this and you just eat it ready to eat? No drip, no mess! That’s just right eat like that with your tea or your coffee.

I am more than satisfied with today’s meal. If I was cisco and ever I’d, give it two thumbs up, but I’m not so I’m gonna give it one thumbs up and no thumbs down. I like the mix, if you guys, like anything you’ve seen in the video from food to the cooking accessories check out the description box, man, I’m going to drop, you guys some links and help you guys out. I was amazed at this little stove today, crazy that it was able to heat up the water significantly faster uh, and you can see the pellets just burn away, and that’s it not much of a cleanup just fold.

It up put it away and of course you know you can take apart your little burner real, quick but uh yeah. It’s cool to have a couple variations of cooking stoves and stuff, so you can cook at the same time simultaneously make stuff get done faster. I want to just thank you guys, first and foremost, for tuning in today checking out our grub ideas, guys it’s no joke. It’s rough out there I can smile all I want and that’s truly my mentality, but things are kind of scary. Oh food food can be scary.

Who knows, if we’ll having all of a sudden shortage? Oh and it could be weeks before you actually can get back in and then even then lions are going to be out the door again like we’ve seen in the past here with covet. So if you have extra dollars, I would suggest lining yourself up with some extra little cookwares and uh some freeze-dried foods and some mres, and you know canned crackers. This was impressive. I really dig these guys cool item. Gonna buy some more of those um, the peanut butter that we showed you guys, the cakes all that stuff is available.

You can buy it store it make your own meals swap out stuff snacks whatever. If you’re going on hunting trips, you want to go out in the mountains for two days, you can easily pack a couple meals they put together wonderfully and they’re easy to prepare with the water in the stoves and if you’re not using the stoves, then you might have your little heaters. If you’re using mres nevertheless check out the rest of the channel, we have a bunch of videos. We have future videos coming up with the beast over here.

Everything kind of uh incorporates together in a sense um. Next video on here was the roof video. So if you guys are getting one of these uh maverick x3s turbos and you want to get a roof, that’s a little more inexpensive than hard roof. Look for that video! We’re also doing the chase lights on this uh beast as well so um, if you’re, not just in mres- and you want to see some of those side-by-side videos check out those videos on the channel. I just want to thank you guys for tuning in today, thanks for all my uh loyal subscribers and any future subscribers.

I look forward to seeing you guys on the channel thanks for watching.

It’s a gear tester here and today I’m going to be eating and reviewing the mountain house freeze-dried chicken and dumplings entree now what’s different about this review is in all my other reviews of mountain house meals or other freeze-dried meals. I had eaten those before this is the first time I’m going to be eating the chicken and dumplings from mountain house.

I have licked the spoon, but that’s as as much tasting as I’ve done here. If you guys are interested in other food reviews and things there will be a link in the description of this video that will take you to a playlist of all the different food products. I’ve reviewed over the years, I’m also harvesting some prunes and I’m drying them.

There’s lots of other things. I’m doing if you guys are interested in that I’d, be happy to do videos on that topic, kind of prepping food canning. That kind of things I don’t know how much interest there is on my channel for me to produce videos like that. There’s lots of that kind of content on youtube already.

But if this video gets three or four hundred views- and I get 50 or 60 likes- and you guys want to comment in the description on different kinds of food preservation techniques and things you’d like me to show if I know how to do those- or I can learn quickly I’ll- do some videos on that. But let’s get back to here to the chicken and dumplings taste test here, I’m gonna pour it in a bowl so that you can see it, but it comes this little bag like that.

You’ve got a bunch of peas and carrots stir it just a little bit. I didn’t film myself pouring boiling water into the little pouch here. I didn’t think you guys needed to see that you will need to pour boiling water into the pouch. I did document what the food looked like before I poured boiling water into it, because I wanted you to be able to see what the dry contents of the mountain house meal looked like one thing, you’re going to want to do is make sure that you get the little oxygen absorber package out of it.

It’s not a disaster. If you don’t, but it’s a lot less messy, if you get it out before you rehydrate the food, this meal says that you’re supposed to put a cup and a half of water in it I put about 11 ounces of water instead of the 12 ounces. I find that most these mountain house meals get a little bit soupier than I want them.

I have put the water in it. I’ve stirred it after four minutes. I’ve waited it another, eight or so minutes, and now we’re going to try it out, but I’ll pour the food into a bowl here. So you can see it, that’s not all of it, but that’s about half of it there. So from the little taste test that I already got licking the spoon off uh.

What I found is that this tasted, pretty doughy, so I’m not a big dumpling eater. Okay, dumplings are kind of a southern thing and I’m a boy that grew up in the north. So all right, that’s actually pretty good. It does kind of taste. I mean it’s. Obviously this has a lot of carbs in it. I, like the peas in the carrots.

I like the little bits of chicken that I’m hitting there they’re chewy nice. Now this is a little bit bigger pieces of chicken. You can see that there then are in some of their other meals, and I actually like that it is flavorful most. These meals have plenty of salt in them. This is definitely salty, but not in a bad way.

You know I actually really like this. I think it’s definitely got some pepper or something in it. I could eat this and enjoy it. As a general rule, I tend to get the mountain house, meals or other freeze-dried meals that have pastas and different things in them and truly this is a a lot of carbs and a lot of gluten and wheat, but I don’t I don’t mind that I actually like gluten and wheat very much so, and what I do like about this is it’s a different taste profile and texture.

You know, I really didn’t think I was going to like this meal. I could eat this regularly. I wouldn’t want to have it every day, because I wouldn’t want to have anything every day, but you know what, especially, if you have a little camp oven, you had some cornbread with a little honey and butter on it.

Man this is bringing out my inner southerner. I like that, you know I was fully prepared. Wait till I finish chewing here huh. I was fully prepared to not like this meal to give a negative review on this, and you know what I actually really like it 15 grams of protein per serving. So I think it has two servings in it.

So you’re talking about 620 calories, we’re talking about 30 grams of protein. You got talking about all that food right there and all you have to do is add hot water just pulling pouring boiling water into this little packet, zip, locking it closed and waiting for the appropriate amount of time. So I like the fact that these mountain house meals are so simple to set up.

I like that they have a variety of different flavors and options for you in their entrees, and you know what I would give this a definite thumbs up and I would recommend it and I’m going to go to the store here in the next couple days and buy three or four more of these, because I’m headed out on some adventures here in this next month and I’m going to enjoy eating some mount house meals.

It won’t be exclusively mountain house meals, lots of regular food, but just in case we need some quick food, whether that’s we’re just moving quickly and we’re enjoying the activities we’re engaging in. We just need a fast meal or whether my wife and I are tired and we don’t want to do a lot of cooking and there’s no place about to eat.

I really like these mountain house meals. I’ve used them on a lot of backpacking trips day hikes, and I just think they’re very nifty, very simple. All you need is the ability to warm some water up, get it boiling and pour it in. You will need a longer spoon because these packets tend to be a little bit longer.

So there you go the gear. Tester stamp of approval goes on the mountain house, chicken and dumplings meal. I really like the carrots, I really like the peas, and I think it is a delicious little meal. If you enjoyed this video, I would encourage you to like it leave a comment down below check out in the description of this video, the playlist that’ll.

Take you to all the freeze, dried and camping meals that I have reviewed over the years and make sure to leave a comment. Let me know what other things you’d like me to review. If this video gets for 500 views and 50 or 60 likes I’ll, take that as the go-ahead that you guys are interested in me producing more videos that pertain to food harvesting, food preservation and family preparedness.

I really like mountain house meals as well as other freeze-dried meals that allow me to take them on adventures and be able to have hot food with minimal mess and pots and pans. That means that I actually get out and do things if you spend your entire life trying to amass and pile up all the gear and equipment, you think you might need in every eventuality, you’re never going to get out and actually explore and do fun things so just get outside and do something enjoy the outdoors today, if you can my goal with the gear, tester youtube channel has always been to produce quality, video reviews on the topics of shooting, camping and survival gear.

I hope I achieved that goal in this video here today.

Colorado teriyaki was right, mount outside chicken teriyaki with why sorry? For the top of this didn’t bring it it good. Just like dried up stuff, yeah it’ll work, all right, hot water in the chicken clear it up. My MSR spork freak out this thing I forget to do that seal it up.
