Romantic Homemade MRE For 2 with the Missus- The 15K Subs Special!!!! 

You are the Bob Ross of the grocery store.

In for the charcuterie MRE!

MRE charcuterie sounds awesome...you should include D'elle in that one too.

First congratulations on your 15,000! Second, it was good to meet Mrs. DBA. Have her back on the channel for another adventure.

Mrs DBA is fun, looking forward to more couple videos

I think a charcuterie board would be a great idea! I love the idea of a hikeable backpacking board. It would be so much fun.

Never forget how lucky you are..never is a bad thing to be reminded. She puts up with your antics...and brings her own.

Easy to see why you are always smiling, she is a keeper. Yes, to the charcuterie mre, even if just to watch more of your two's on-screen magic.

A pleasure to meet you, Mrs DBA. Romantic MRE for two is a total success. Some happy memories from the past came flooding back into my mind. When the wild grape leaves were at their peak, residents of our small New England town might catch a glimpse of two old geezers snipping the leaves along the roadsides. My Greek neighbor had a secret. After stuffing the leaves with his lamb & rice mix, the leaves were simmered to perfection in his homemade chicken stock. Nothing went to waste in his families restaurant and homemade chicken stock was the rule! Thank you for the video, and some great new ideas.

Congratulations on 15,000! 🎉 It was so nice to meet Mrs. DBA 🥰 For the board; dried sausage links or jerky, crackers, long lasting cheese sticks, various dried fruits, mixed nuts or trail mix, and chocolate (always chocolate 😂). Oh, and wine for Mrs. DBA. 😁

Congrats on the 15k, off to 100k next. Wonderful video with the Missus, you two have great chemistry. Would like to see her in more videos.

My dad had two bee hives when I was growing up so we rarely bought any sugar except for making cookies Now he does maple syrup because they live in the woods near a river. Somebody bought the land with all the trees and chopped them all down but the other neighbor that hunts my parents land is letting them use their maple trees which is nice because there is an old snowmobile trail down to the river my dad got permission to make a path to their path. Its nice because the guy has grandkids that want to learn how to make syrup.

I love this! So proud of you. Definitely one of the most relevant content channels out there. Happy to see Mrs. Dad Budget Adventures! Hope to see more of you two

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Lovely to meet D'Ella! Bring on the charcuterie MRE.

A candle light dinner nice.👍🍽️

Fantastic channel content, and now to meet the Mrs, ya'll are a hoot! Hopefully we get to see more of both of you together in the future.

Congratulations on 15K! And, it's nice to meet you, D'elle. So fun to see you two together. Thanks for the info you've shared in this video, too.

Love the double MRE, it shows that you can have splurges even in an emergency. Thank you for sharing your wife with us.

Congrats on the milestone. Great way to celebrate.

Congratulations on 15K. Welcome D'Elle. You've single handedly increased the channel value by at least 3!

Congrats on 15k! Thanks D'elle for guest starring. I'm definitely interested in the snack board MRE.

Wow! Box wine and canned stuffed grape leafs. Who even knew this was possible. Really enjoyed watching you and your wife show case this romantic MRE for two. Carry on and keep 'em coming.

Yes to the charcuterie board MRE! Shelf stable meats, cheeses and things like the grape leaves. Congrats on the subscribers and very nice to meet Mrs. DBA!

Love the idea of an MRE Charcuterie board.

Congrats, Dad! D'elle is a sweetheart!

Aww she's cool 😎

She's a keeper.

I've seen several of your videos, then happened on this one (I may have been subscriber 15,001!) with D'elle. She is quite charming, possesses a beautiful smile, exhibits a pleasant fun attitude, can sing, and as commented below, "puts up with your antics." Blessings to both of you during travels and never-ending quest to find new and improved homemade MREs. Thanks to your videos, I'm now aware of and capable of locating various items to put together an MRE. Items for example available at most larger supermarkets with the following to choose from: dry foods (dried blueberries, cherries, dates, etc.), packaged goods (flavored or plain rice or couscous, rice and beans and the like), canned or packaged meats (foil sealed flavored tuna, etc.), Copes dry corn (just add water, or the canned variety), puddings, applesauce, and various types of energy or similar snack bars (chocolate, peanut butter, fruit, Kelloggs's Nutri Grain, and Nature Valley granola bars, to name a few). A previously unknown store, but one that has some interesting foods, is Ocean State Job Lot (opened less than a year ago near my home). They have garden and home items, and foods such as Indian cuisine, in addition to other foods (sort of like an Aldi's store).

She's adorable nice to met her.

Awwwww watching this makes my heart so happy!!!

I just jumped over to D'elle's channel. She's easy on the eyes *and* the ears! Oh, and this MRE looked good too. Haven't seen wine in those little boxes before. Will have to try one if I find it.

Congrats on the subs! Your wife is fricken AWESOME!!! You two are so cute! I am so glad you included a food that will stave off the scurvy. LOL! I love Dandilion Root tea, so I am absolutely looking for that tea! I'm with D'elle on the chicory as well. I think an MRE charcuterie would be fun! You can get packets of olives, pickles, and even fruit...not sure what you'd do about the cheese, but I am positive you'd be the man to do it! This was a fun video! Thanks you two!

Congrats on 15k! Because I make most of my own cold weather rations, bulk food stores are the best. Local to me is Bulk Barn. As for the charcuterie board, dried salami, pepperoni, maybe prosciutto and canned pate. Dried fruit and nuts. There are a number of shelf stable cheeses that backpackers take, I get mine on Amazon. They are all hard cheeses so include a vegetable peeler in the kit to shave the cheese.

WooHoo! Always stronger with our significant other...another great video!

You guys are a cute couple nice to meet your better half. Great video with you two yes cheese board mre

Fantastic couple. Thanks both of you

That charcuterie sounds fun! More wine forsure. Jarred olives, hormel peperoni, nut mix wud be good. Really enjoyed meeting your wife❤

Loved meeting the wife, hope to see more shows with the two of you. May be you could have an MRE competition where you both make one without knowing the others content until you present them on the show. As for the charcuterie board MRE, you should be able to just pick it up and go at anytime and that means the board must be included in the bag. That show should be very enjoyable to see. Had a great time watching, thanks from California ...where we just may really have the need for MRE 'S..LOL

Lookout man, she's a firecracker! 🧨💥 (Y'all are cute. Good to meet you, Mrs. DBA :)

My favorite RU-vidr, and lovely wife. And great MRE. My wife and I have found similar entrees and sides great to keep in the pantry for a quick, yet satisfying, dinner.

I would love do this with my hubs. Please bring your wife on more often. She is precious 💖.

Congratulations on 15,000!

Outstanding! I bet there was a tremendous amount of giggling that was edited out. Definitely do a charcuterie MRE - Nuts, dried fruits, dried meats, crackers or thin rice cakes, and (cringe) shelf stable cheese. You can do it! 😊 Congratulations on 15k!

My partner and I celebrate our anniversary every year with charcuterie so I would LOVE to see that as an MRE

Congratulations on your 15K subscribers, well done!! Fun video guys. This is your best video yet. It's nice to see Mr. & Mrs. DBV together and having fun. That tea looked so interesting that I went on Amazon and ordered some to try. Really enjoyed this video, I hope you two decide to do more videos together. Have a blessed Sunday guys. JT Barren County, Kentucky

Congrats on the subscriptions! awesome video! your wife seems really cool, thanks for letting us meet her!

Congratulations on your 15,000, love your show.

I like this format, maybe do more like this for the different holidays. I' m a big fan.

Great video - 100% love it You started my Sunday out great. You two are a crew ! Charcuterie MRE should be a go. Cheers !

Congrats on 15000! I enjoyed meeting the other half and this was a fun video. Yes, please do an MRE charcuterie! Along with the usual nuts and crackers, I would add dried/freeze dried/canned fruit, those packages of sliced pepperoni from Dollar Tree, canned deviled ham, vienna sausages, maybe even canned caviar! As for cheese (and I think this would follow the rules?) I would get some Cougar Gold cheese from Washington State University Creamery. It's canned and it's delicious! I love a charcuterie of any kind, any time of day. We just call it Snacky Snack Dinner. :)

Congrats on 15 K. Yes to the DBA MRE Charcuterie Board

Wonderful, just wonderful. The food and D'Elle. More of both, please. Charcuterie? Pickles, olives, cheese, summer sausage, crackers, pate, garbanzo beans, and more wine.

Excellent video. Glad to see the better half. Bring on the charcuterie mre

Hi there, to start with I have to say as much as I watch your videos I never comment. But for this one, it was absolutely enjoyable. Thoroughly enjoyed the interface between you and your significant other. She is delightful, you’re a lucky man. This video is prompting me to do the same thing for me and my wife on our anniversary. Kudos to you for a great videos. Also looking forward to the charcuterie video. It would be great to see her in it.

I didn't think I can even spell charcuterie (thank you spell check) but I'd like to see what you come up with for a MRE charcuterie. Congratulations on 15,000 subscribers and I'm sure you can achieve any goals you put your mind to. Awesome to be introduced to D'elle. Thank you for the video.

Congratulations on 15,000 subscribers! Awesome content!

What a fun MRE! I’d totally love to see a charcuterie MRE. Your wife is lovely, I’m going to check out her podcast. Congratulations on 150k!

You two are adorable together. Congratulations, you are a lucky guy to have a spouse who supports your eccentricities (and brings her own). There are some really great ideas in this MRE to get "out of the box". Will have to try some of these. The MRE charcuterie board has some ideas that are ready-made. There are lots of prepackaged summer sausages and cheeses that don't require refrigeration (Hickory Farms comes to mind, but there are probably some better ones out there.) I'm aware of some retort packaged smoked salmon. I've even seen olives and pickles in retort pouches. Add an assortment of nuts and dried fruits and crackers and fancy mustard. This should be an interesting challenge. Looking forward to seeing it. And congratulations on 15K subscribers! Yes, you wouldn't have a channel without the audience, but the audience wouldn't be here if you didn't have great content.

This the best, I totally enjoyed the two of you enjoying a great, fun meal.

Nice to meet the misses. Those honey packets are nice. I never liked coffee until I was 45ish and started putting honey in it. That's all. Sharka-what board? Dats a big word for a Mississippi boy :)

Congratulations on the constant growth of your channel sir,and thank you for new,innovative ideas,some great content!

I love the charcuterie board idea!

Congratulations 🎉

Congratulations on 15,000! Very fun video. My cooler quit working so I made up five MREs for the week using some of your suggestions. Keep up the great work. 100% for the charcuterie MRE.

Thanks for sharing this with us and I am so happy for your Sub numbers. Hang in there and I will always be here rooting for you and your adventures. I am all in for the MRE charcuterie board!

Congrats on 15k!! D'elle is awesome, I love her style and personality so much

I adore her! Thank you for this.

Hi DBA. Congratulations on reaching 15,000 subscribers, and hope your channel keeps on growing. It was so nice to meet D'elle, she is adorable, and must be a saint to put up with you, 😄(sorry I love you really❤). I think the charcuterie board MRE is a great idea, and it would be lovely to see D'elle again. Much love and respect from me, Jo, here in the South East of England. xx

Always enjoy the videos. Y’all are so cute. I would love to see you do more of these videos. As to Charcuterie, the hardest thing would be fresh fruits and cheese. You had a couple items in the WF meal. The Domas would be a good addition. Also the chocolate strawberries. Laughing cow has shelf stable cheese like substance. Pepperoni, salami, I have been taking for a pre dinner camp snack black and green olives that come in single serve cups. As an aside, I would also suggest instead of one beverage, a hot and a cold beverage. Thank you for the entertaining and insightful videos you do.

Yes to the charcuterie board! That would be amazing!

MRE Charcuterie, Cheese spreads are stable and come in packages like the meat pate, which last long. Dried fruits, Nuts and dried or cured meats should be easier than you think.

If you haven't watched Station 11, you should! Your wife would fit in that world very well. People still need entertainment, even after the end of modern society

Charcuterie MRE sounds good. Nuts, olives, dried fruit, freeze dried cheese snacks, crackers and some kind of dried meat(salami, pepperoni, beef sticks). don't know if you'll find with 1 year self life. Good luck looking forward to seeing a video. Don't forget the wine.😀

Cheap Plastic Wine Glasses! Yay! You and your wife made my day

you both seem like such cool, nice people! and I would love to see an MRE charcuterie board.

I like the two person meal format, and your wife is a hoot. Definitely want to see more of her reviewing food with you.

There kind of is an MRE charcuterie that people buy a lot around Christmas. Those Swiss Colony gift baskets with meats, cheeses, candies, little mustards and jellies. Might not be the best options but a nice potential place to source some items.

First, congratulations on 15k, 2nd nicely done video, and yes MRE meat and cheese board.

I was delightfully surprised at your choice in enchanting spouses my good fellow. I was expecting something different, like a woman more into MRE's and prepping sort of thing. Your pairing reminds me of my wife and I. I'm an all black wearing metal head, outdoors and survival enthusiast and she's a loveable dork who reads a lot and listens to Taylor Swift *blegh*, kind of polar opposites but have our own shared crazy thing going that makes us happy. I would love to see a charcuterie (thank you predictive text) board MRE and a return of your delightful wife. You're adorable together and it's nice to see.

Y'all are so sweet❤ thank you for the video.

The challenges with your daughter were fun too.

I just went back in the published videos to watch your Grey Man episode. Still relevant, still good info. I encourage everyone to give it a watch! And congrats on 15,000!

For the charcuterie board, there are dehydrated cheeses out there, one called "Moon Cheese" comes to mind, but you can sometimes find other brands with smaller bits meant for salads by the croutons in a grocery store. You could also include individual pickles packed in a plastic pouch and maybe some vienna sausages. Maybe a cut up slim jim or biltong (not sure the shelf life of that).

🎉CONGRATS!!!🎉🎉 on 15,000!! Sooo very nice to meet Mrs. DBA 😊 I say YES to the charcuterie board. I'm sure you'll blow our minds with it since you have a knack for thinking outside the box! CONGRATS again!!

awesome! Thank you

Congratulations on the new milestone! This was a fun video. If we lived near each other, we would definitely be friends. I am a musician who loves the outdoors. Stay well, and keep that channel growth going!

So did you lose that wine out your nose after clunking the wine glasses? Too Funny! D'Elle is a hoot! Charcuterie MRE? Absolutely! As long as D'Elle is a part of it! You two make a great couple!

Love the charcuterie idea.

cute that you found chocolate covered strawberries for your romantic picnic. I think it would be fun to put together a CRE- charcutier- ready to eat. 😁 It's not all that out there!! Endless possibilities. Good ole cheese and crackers is my go-to "meal" under a variety of circumstances. I work a physical labor job so breaks arent a thing. I usually take bites as I need them, and most often on my drive. So I almost always have a zip lock bag with crackers, cheese, sausage stick, peanut butter, nuts. Stufd that is easy to eat yet gives me some options, flavors and mouth feel. Sometimes a little potted meat of some sort, or other spread. Then usually add to it by having some sliced fruit. I can pick at it all day or just curl up somewhere chow down. Also my go to when I dont feel like cooking. I go feral when my husband goes out of town, so stuff like this is my usual fodder. Super wide variety of options that would just work so well. Kinda think it would be perfect for camping, hiking, emergency, road trips, random picnic, work day food, or lazy night meal. Then it would be just cute to have it bagged up ready to go. Love Dolmades. I like to lightly warm them to emulsify the oil. But cold from can is good too. That was fun. Congrats on 15K. Onward and upward!

A charcuterie MRE sounds great. In the even of a power outage, it would be a great diversion from whatever is going on. Just to invite some friends over and socialize like things are normal.

Go the cheese 🧀 & meat 🥩 board. Congrats for 15:000

Congrats on your subscribers. I love when you include your family in these episodes. Keep up the good work.

Rather new to this channel, but I love it. Your wife is lovely and I would love a charcuterie board. Grapes wouldn't work, but: raisens?? Of course, olives and cheese. Canned albacore tuna??

you could probably set the domas can on the cooker for a bit to warm it up and melt the "gelatinous" stuff? 🙂

We enjoyed your wife’s appetite, she made this video most enjoyable !! 😄

What a really fun video! So nice to meet D'elle, and definitely a charcuterie board MRE sounds amazing!

Congrats. I think I will make a couple MREs today. Fresh Market and Aldi will be my shops today

I loved this!!! Are you sure it’s not D’elle Budget Adventures? 😂 *** If you ever find yourself near a Wegmans, you gotta check it out for an MRE. They are a Central NY family owned chain of grocery stores but, we now have a few of them in the Raleigh and Chapel Hill areas of North Carolina

My favorite so far.

Should have gone with the wine, chocolate covered strawberries, oysters... An aphrodisiac MRE. 👍
