We made a personal challenge to create homemade MREs and bring them along for a lunch date. We also tested out the Barocook flameless cooker while we were at it! Barocook flameless cooker on Amazon: www.amazon.com...
I bet you could come up with some interesting stuff. Be curious to see what you'd create based on your dietary background. Maybe that would be a cool video!
I love hanging out with my kids when I can. They are all grown and off on their own. They have their own families now. It seems like the hugs get bigger and better as we all get older.
Great video! I love that you got your daughter involved to pick out foods she would want to eat herself! This is a great way to get your family members involved in prepping their own preferred emergency food for a 48hr kit so the kit has food they would actually eat!
Good job guys. i made a breakfast MRE, with organic short cook oats with dried cranberries and dried golden raisins, Dutch breakfast cake ,with homemade cocoa and a 1000 iu vitamin c drink, plus a large bottle of water. i added a serving of yogurt covered raisins to much on while i wait for the Barocook flameless heater to do its thing. i also made an accessory pack which includes a mini tube of toothpaste, a floss pick, a bandaid, travel toothbrush, baby asprin, and 4 pieces of gum. i included a small garbage bag and a piece of paper towel plus matches.
one comment to your daughter. she picked out the normal kool-aid packet. this makes a 1/2 half gal. look in the same section for the individual packets for 16 oz. water. the current military lemon pepper tuna uses starkist lemon pepper tuna. toss a couple tortillas in & you got it made. as to your expire date issue. i can usual get stuff that is good for a year. but it is also knowing when to shop & check the dates as the year goes along. for the european mre components check in the high priced foods section of your kroger. wasa breads is one. chips whatever kind you want. hit your gas station for the individual serving sizes. alot of the snack or mid day meal items can be found there. look at the skippey single serve line for your peanut butters.
I started watching your channel just a few days ago, but I think I have seen most of your homemade MRE videos. What a great idea. You have me hooked on the Barocooker. I am about to start a multi-week hiking trip (O.K. this coming summer). At one hot meal a day, $2 for a heat pack in an all-weather cooker beats fuel canisters and a stove. I will let you know how it works out.
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my login password. I would love any help you can give me
@Lachlan Khalid Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
OK found your channel and have enjoyed it. Went back and watched this one, you look a "little" different. One thing I would like to see in these is a list of the contents of the MRE in the notes section.
I’ve had a few people ask for that and the reason I don’t do it is purely selfish as it would destroy the algorithm. A lot of people would come to the description just to read the contents then click out once they had that down. It only takes a few of those before my retention time plummets and RU-vid stops recommending my content.
If you need to add water or any liquid IT IS NOT AN MRE. An MRE is READY YO EAT. No water required. Preferred sure the 2 tablespoons of water for the flame less heater to heat up, but not required. An MRE can be ripped open and eaten straight from pouch.
Are you talking about the drinks, the heater, or the rice? Because even an MRE needed water for the drinks and heater, and the rice was "a little dry" but would be edible straight from the package. So this is perfectly acceptable as an MRE.
mountaun house has the artic / cold weather mre contract. over in my pile of stuff is their freezedried sphagetti w/ meat that you find in the camp food section.
Definitely. Each person picking what they like is the very foundation of this concept. I’d hate to have to rely on something built by someone who had no knowledge of what I like and don’t like.
@@dadbudgetadventures has to do with left or right. And how well managed the warehouse is. Left states don't do well, right states do well half the time but get shorted when delivery has to run thru a left state to get there. ( trucks are being charged extra to go around left states to make delivery and then shorted payment because they cant make delivery on time because of politics driving thru a left state.
True. But at the time of this video the civilian market didn’t offer a lot of options. Fortunately that has changed and there are lot better choices out there.
Since you made this, I have been noticing more and more, the raspberry flavored things in MREs are going away. I think there are many more people out there who dislike raspberry things. I don't much care for them either to be honest.
