What a great friend, helping you out like that! (Course Mr Fish looked like he had loads of fun too). Loved the short of him picking up the "bonus snack" from the ground. 😂
Buccee's is the best travel stop you can make while cruising through Texas. First the place is enormous, dozens of soda machines, an unparalleled selection of travel snacks, BBQ, fried chicken, etc. Plus the largest, cleanest restrooms you have ever seen. It's a must see.
@@dadbudgetadventures I'll stop you right there. Buccee's is neither glorified nor a truck stop. The place is MASSIVE, always super busy, has a very well payed staff and excellent food. Also, it is not a truck stop. They do not allow commercial trucks into the parking lot nor to they allow them to fuel up there. That does cause some irritation with the truckers, but Buccee's is there for automobile travelers, primarily families.
I didn’t realize they didn’t allow trucks. That’s interesting. I only referred to it as a truck stop because they seem to be the only thing in their category I’ve come across. So what do you even call it? Car stop? Car city? It’s big enough to be its own town.
😂😂😂 that was a lot of fun. I can't wait to see your MRE from Bucee's. Those stores are massive! Guard your wallet, you don't want a repeat of World Market 😂😂
Cheers to Mr. Fish, he's a good man. Those Scout style pocket knives are among the most handy pocket knives to carry. I carryed a 1968 U.S. Camillus military pocket knife with all the same tools on it for over 23 years. I finally wore it out and then replaced it with a Victorinox Huntsman pocket knife because I wanted the extra tools the Huntsman has, and man do they come in handy! Nice video DBA, thanks for sharing it. JT
This would be my type of mre. I'd eat everything in that pack, and it'd be enough to fill me up for sure. However, for my son, I'd probably have to get chicken instead of tuna. Hes not a big fish fan. Just occasionally 😅😂🤷🏼♀️ but the rest of it looks great and would be tasty! Many thanks to mr.fish for sending you all these items. I love watching the mre videos. Always something to think about for upcoming camping trips and items to just have in go bags or get home bags. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻
@@dadbudgetadventuresMy nearest one is at exit 407 going to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. It’s about an hour from me but I drive there pretty often and go to Bass Pro Shops and of course I always visit the new Buc-ees. Love their BBQ sandwiches and of course the Brisket sandwiches.
@@trooper2121 Is that in Sevierville? I go to Smoky Mountain Knife Works occasionally. I’ll have to check out the Buc-ee’s since I’ve never been to one before
@@alanbierhoff6831Yes just off of I40 it’s exit 407 which is the same exit for SMKW. Because I go in there quite often myself probably even more now that they carry guns and ammunition
This had me at "Beaver Nuggets". Stuff like that cracks me up. Hadn't heard of Buc-Ee's until now. Just a mere 9 hrs drive to the closest one! Not quite what I would pick out, but it was fun to see what someone else comes up with. Swap that canned tuna for a packet would certainly make it easier to get into. Unless I had beaver teeth🤔🤪
Thank you mr Fish. Good general basic products that we can find in all countries. Not everybody has a lot of variety in their supermarketd. I envy all those chocolate products.
Thanks for pointing that out. There are so many things people can get in one country but not in another. More than anything it’s about creative thinking.
@@dadbudgetadventures Indeed, we have products in small cans that appeal to the Filipino taste. Most westerners will turn up their nose and run away. It is sad, but the canned items do no justice to the same dish made fresh in a restaurant. Western food products are slowly becoming more available in the Philippines as the economy grows and folks have more income to splurge on imported items. Beef jerky is one product we have never seen in stores. I used to make my own on our hobby farm in the US since we had a dairy cow and raised beef cattle. I made several batches of beef jerky here and dried it under our hot, tropical sun. Each time we sent a small plastic tub to school with one of the troops, students and teachers all asked "what is that?" After samples were handed out, there was not much left for our young prodigy. The home brew jerky was well received. Sadly, with basic income so low in the Phils, a product perceived as expensive would be a hard sell here. True enough that some are doing well and could afford afford high end products but those folks are the exception, not the general rule.
Total fun! This is a great video that stayed with the theme. We did well over the last week, finding a few new items for the 72 hour school emergency kits we are building out. It never hurts to ask for items on the list. While in a pharmacy we rarely visit on the far side of town, we learned they have electrolyte powder in small sachets. Three flavors to choose from and inexpensive compared to any premix available. Next up, our school age troops testing these finds. Thank you for continuing inspiration.
Never been to a Buc-ees. Regional stores are their own thing sometimes. But made me think of another possible location for you to try... If you ever find yourself traveling through a region with a larger Amish community like Ohio, Pennsylvania... Might be able to piece together an Amish MRE. Obviously not their fresher produce strait off the farm but I've seen uncommon packaged foods in Amish stores before. Just a thought. ✌️
Love it. By the way I am taking your homemade MRE Ideas and making MRE packets for our blessings boxes, these are for our homeless population. They don't sit long in the box that's for sure.
We’re getting a Buc-ee’s in North Carolina. It’s going to be at Exit 152 off Interstates 40/85 in Mebane, about 50 miles west of downtown Raleigh. Only 40 minutes away from me on farm country roads. It’s supposed to be huge at 74,000 square feet which is 20,000 square feet bigger than the Florence, SC Buc-ee’s but only half the size of the ginormous Walmart just down the road in Mebane, NC! It’s supposed to open in 2025 but nobody’s holding their breath for that lol
I don't live anywhere near a Buc-ee's (Closest is 12 hours away) but when I'm on vacation I always stop and spend wayyyy too much money. Mr. Fish did a great job!
Not sure if you've made a custom MRE video with Cracker Barrel components but they have everything needed for a custom MRE. I'd love to see a Cracker Barrel MRE video!
Love the MRE... but no P38!?!? Funny, I have been cycling my Tuna packs recently, so I have been having tuna and crackers for dinner a few times the past week or so, mayo and mustard is the best. Great video and good job Mr. Fish! 🍻
I love it! You understood the assignment. Did you brush your teeth after you ate Bucees beaver droppings? Can’t take him anywhere. I can’t wait to see what you can find at Bucees. Thanks for the shout out!
Mr fish is a great guy have one of his photos I really enjoy your videos what about a bass pro shops m r e safe travels enjoy your trip the Irish pirate from Maine
I have recently rediscovered how much i love sriracha and/or sambal sauces. Mix one of these with that tuna and youll be in business. Im currently looking for individual packets of either for travel. They are very low calories and almost no carbs. Being diabetic, this is a great alternative for sauce options.
Next year they plan on building a Buc-Ees about ten minutes north of me first one in the state. I just texted my friend we plan on taking a wiz there to break it in
@@dadbudgetadventures never been to one before but my friend has a small bladder and likes coffee, except he has to drink decaf which is even nastier than regular coffee to me. I think I have had maybe three cups of coffee in my life and I'm 51 1/2 now. I just drink diet pop once a week
I was really bummed about this one….Sorry Mr. Fish, but this seemed more like a gag gift rather than an attempt at an MRE 🤦🏻♂️ However, DBA never disappoints with his stage presence and delivery 👍🏼
@@dadbudgetadventures If you're still reeling from World Market's prices, Food Lion or Ingles might be a better way to go. Haha! Food City has good cupcakes, though.
As a retired truck driver I would never shop any place that wouldn't allow me and my truck. People say they support truckers but then back business that refuse to back truckers.
I cook my own food, dehydrate them and take with for cooking, no biggie. My Snacks are usually fruit and nut mix - basic or tropical, for drinks I have some ratio pack fillers from UK army Ration packs and I carry a pouch of real coffee - that's 2 brews and T Bags - Yorkshire Tea of course! I have been trying out my own cereal bars recently with mixed success, I don't like apple unless with blackberry; I don't like crackers or biscuits, your or ours when camping. I eat a lot of curries, chilli and stews fro winter camps.
Besides Bucees in Texas you have HEB grocery. Maybe do a Texas themed MRE. Everything is bigger and better in the Lone Star State. If you to the East Coast can try to make an MRE from Sheetz or Wawa
This isn't going to replace the up coming Sunday's video is it??? That's going to mess up my day, getting up and not having an MRE video to watch while I make coffee I have heard a rumor of us getting a Bucees in Virginia on I81 some day
dad budget i have a request i know this does not fit into your traditional mre ideas but as someone who does airsoft (military simulation events) i would love to see you do a dollar tree 24 hr mre for an event following your rules but with the caveat "light breakfast" main meal and a light evening meal and several snacks please
Odd thought. What about an MRE where size was the challenge. What's the smallest MRE you can make that not only fulfills the normal requirements but also tastes good and actually fills yea up. Or for the Mrs side fits in a clutch? an almost EDA MRE.
Just did a Walgreens video and might hit a couple other pharmacies to see what I can do. I tried two gas stations last week and failed miserably but I’m gonna keep trying. Amish store would be fun. Might give that a go.
Can we talk electrolites folr a sec? Gatorade 126 ish mgs of potasium in about a 20 ounce bottle. 1 cheap walmart quart orange juice in a tetra pack has about 2000mgs of potassuim. All MREs seem to be salt heavy. Slip a real orange juice box in a MRE to get 3 times the potassium plus the vitamin C. Gatorade also has no magniesuim. You can get the tablets to keep your blood salts up to snuff. You want to watch the dose on magnesium. Nothing high. Some say it helps in times of mental stress... but too much can cause a bathroom issue. Nobody wants extra hitting the fan. LOL It is really beyond me why people spend so much on electrolites.
You're showing us crap! Where are nuts, fruit such as raisins, olives, cheese, coffee, honey, maple syrup, dehydrated milk, dehydrated eggs. You need to show the public wholesome food, not crappy snacks. Possibly popcorn kernels. I have an air popcorn 🍿 machine. Microwave popcorn has toxins in the lining from the bag, and the toxins go right into your food. Cindy This is about survival not eating crap.
