You need to hunt unicorn in remote backwaters of Scotland. Not as easy to track as Haggis but a decent challenge to stalk & claim for a feast. Gotta put the effort in if you want to eat well!
Hi Dan, £20 is way too expensive for this. I’ve seen it for £12.99 from Base Camp Foods which is still expensive but as a special treat every now & then doable. Great video as always 😊
Love how down to earth and how easy your videos are to watch. £20 for a meal though best taste good for that price. That's a couple of days food money for me .
I like all Real Turmat food. When I go hiking to Finnish lapland, i've planned that trip for weeks if not months. I dont care what it costs. I planned that. Then I carry these foods. When I go for just over night, I take fresh food. It is all just a bought weight that you carry. And I have to say that these Real Turmat (Norvegian), are the best tasting that I have tried! Greetings from Finland...
Turmat in Norwegian translates roughly to Hiking food. Tur (sounds like tuur with a long vowel) = hike Mat (sounds like maat with a long vowel) = food I might be a bit off on that me being Swedish, but roughly it should be something like that. Keep it up, love the videos 👍👋🇸🇪
£20 !!!! That’s almost twice what we pay here in Norway. An insane price waaaayyy over the top! REAL is my goto drytech on hikes. I made a test of all Real Turmat meals some years ago. It’s in Norwegian I’m afraid, but there is a conclution at the end of the last one. My favourite meal right now is the Bacalao and the Salomon. You have an excellent point about the corners, be sure to stir propert 😊👍 Stay frosty 😊👍
@@englishwoodsman , I thought you had trouble with your vehicle and needed a new truck to get around for camping. I have a 2023 Frontier and I think you will love it. It will definitely get you and your gear to your camping destination.👍
In Sweden we pay 5 euros (50 sek - xxl se shop) definitely is the best hiking food you can get. Great video thank you 🌞⛺👍 you can tear the package once more and you don't need a long spoon 😉
Hi Dan, Hope you’re well. I have actually tried that,as someone gave me one for Christmas (as it’s Reindeer),for my January bivvy night. I must admit to it tasting quite nice, but I don’t think I would pay for one myself. All the best.👍🏾⛺️
G'day,I've recently found your channel and I'm loving all the videos so far.Have you tried/done a review of the picogrill flat wood stove? Keep up the great work.
£20 put me of straight away. Thanks for the review but don't buy it at Christmas because you'll upset the children. Santa won't have anything to pull the sleigh 😂. Stay safe Dan atvb 👍🦊
Dan,what do you call a deer with no eyes………. no idea!!!What do your call a deer with no legs or eyes………..still no idea!!!!!Keep up the great work.All the very best 👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴
For £20 quid a throw it would have to sort my camp and provide silver service! I often find that very salty meals actual have seaweed the salt substitute in them.
@@englishwoodsman Worth it after a long hike . Nothing worse than hiking 15 + miles a day and have a rubbish meal . They do really fill and warm you up before crawling into your sleeping bag for the night
From the school i studied back in -90 as i know have ”produced” one off this real turmat Ola skinnarmo Real nice warm person and nice to speak with and also a good sailor ✌️ Real means what real means and i think as an born he is Ola from Gothenburg he has an great sence off humor because Tur means hiking both in norway and Swedish and mat means food in Swedish
REAL TURMAT might be the 'Bentley' of freeze-dried meals. From watching so many reviews over the years, this BRAND seems to be the way to go: flavor and calories at the end of a cold, wet day. MY summer hikes in hot, humid environments required extra salt. These packages met those requirements.
Salt is needed in relation to your sweat. Athletes, construction workers, roofers, asphalt layers etc can lose grams of salt through sweating. I over sweat just sitting still, and always travel with salt. I have not gone past the shaking/collapsing stage into full convulsions, coma and death due salt lost, but that outcome is a real outcome for many unfortunately. It is a meal meant for a person being physically active and actively losing salt through perspiration.
English Dan, it looks good buddy. You are the man buddy. Did you get that new Nissan Frontier 4by4 pickup truck yet from your RU-vid earnings so you can explore more great camping destinations?👍
Reindeer is the highest protein content in the Deer Family. Higher than Muntjack Roe Fallow Sika and Red Deer. Although all are higher than Beef. It all depends how much Protein you need. As just a basic over nighter does not require Rudolf
I like how Dan sticks his noses into thing (even non food). "...I can smell pepper.... I can smell potatoes... Gravy..." Like a fine wine connoisseur 😅 great review
I really love the Real Turmat meals. However, I only buy them as a luxury item when I really wanna chill. It's too expensive having these meals as a main source of food on your hikes. Personally I haven't noticed any package with too much salt, that might be personal taste. But what I have a problem with is I always get some dry chuncks that have not been hydrated, so I need to have it soak in the water for 5 minutes over the original time. Lovely video btw, as always!
£20 ouch, haven’t tried the Real Turmat meals yet, but when I can get a meal and desert from Wayfayrer for £7.50 it doesn’t really make sense to me. I think if I was woodland camping I’d rather spend that on a decent steak or beef burgers, but I get what you’re saying, those dehydrated meals weigh so little and are just quick and easy. Still waiting for Go Outdoors to sell some space ice cream now summer is here lol
British forces 24 hour ration pack, i can't justify spending £20 on one meal, i could afford it, just too much money for what you get, good video though, i always like to see what's available, take care Dan, see you in the next one mate 👍⛺️
20quid Dan I’d be wanting the antlers as well for that far too expensive mate for a meal might be good but I wouldn’t pay that no chance just rippin people off is what I think take care mate and all the best 👍👌
Tis a lot of money but the salt can be helpful if you've been on a long hike and need to replace electrolytes and stop cramps etc Great vid as always EW :-)
I dont see a point in these things unless you are doing a multi day hike with no supply stops. Its not fresh. Its expensive. 'But its lightweight' once water is added, really how much lighter is it than my steak? After a 15k hike a few cans of beer and a steak for me, but each to their own
I like the idea of reindeer meat, Ive previously been vegetarian and Im just starting to eat meat again. I think youve a chance of the animals being kept in a relatively cruel free and sustainable environment. Now the "but" - £15 is just way too expensive! I wish them luck but that is just beyond my budget!
Hi Dan, bit of an expensive meal that ! You could of got a kebab meal deal and got change for £20 :) The meal may of been extra salty as reindeer meat is dried and preserved using salt !
£20 for only 578 calories! 2,000-3,000 calories required, on a normal day. That would be an expensive option! If you’re not carrying your load too far, stick to ‘proper food’. However, a few of them in your Bergen will be good ‘in case of emergency’.
Hi Dan , The reason I have never liked to eat these types of meals , has always been the salt content , puts mr off , I would have to drink so much water , I would drain a Pond ! 🙂😂.
Reindeer meat along with moose meat is the best. Reindeer is expensive these days. As a friend once joked a reindeer is practically a vegetable! They eat mushrooms, lichen, all the natural foods (along with supplemented hay). They are generally not full of chemicals and other nasty things.
I wouldn't pay extra because it says reindeer meat.Reindeer is the same taste as Deer, I don't think many people can tell the difference in blind tests .
Top draw video as always Dan, so a big thumbs up from deepest Dorset 👍! These are probably the gold standard of freeze dried meals and I reckon a fair price for what you get considering all the tech involved in production, and don’t forget being made up north there is a price to pay!! ATB👍
i think i would do some messing around making a meal at home and bringing it with me rather than paying 20 pound for one meal i could make a lot of meals for that kind of money
Me thinks 15 quid for that meal would even be a tad pricey Dan, never buy them because i personally believe they are a rip off but that is me, and I actually do enjoy cooking the bit of grub the traditional way, but everyone to his own.
20 quid, these costs about 9-10 pound in norway, where they're from, still feel they're expensive then. xD They all kind of taste the same, rice salty as fck, not great but convenient.
