While working as a house manager for a rehab center, one of the clients used to make smoothies with mass gainer adding fruit and nuts, milk or juice. I had never consumed anything like it. He would always make me a tall glass of it and I got hooked on it. It was so delicious. One of the foods I love to make on backpacking and overland camping trips is bannock using flour, baking soda, salt and water mixing the ingredients into a flat paste. Making the bread entailed either frying it in a pan of bacon grease, olive oil or butter or placing it in greased aluminum foil and placing it directly on hot coals. Top it off with peanut butter, strawberry preserves or just plain with butter and syrup. A bag of the ingredients minus the water would last me a week. Like the mass gain the bread mix weighed about a kilo as well in a one gallon freezer ziploc bag. Bannock, was a staple of pioneers gone by and I believe by adding one other ingredient you can make hard tack...sorry, yuk! I like my teeth too much. The story goes that hard tack made in the last century can be still be consumed safely today. There's a lady prepper who has a channel who comes up with some fantastic food concoctions that last for long periods of time, just cannot think of her name at the moment.
Don't forget some pemmican to keep the protein and fat intake up.
I've never been a fancy gear or food guy, and I love cheap, practical stuff!
hi there,
i have a suggestion...
convar - 7
its light weight.
its waterproof/airthight packed.
its good for at least 25 years.
1.99€ for 125gr(comes in 2 60gr bars)
125gr gives you around 630 cals.
pretty dense and light and not prone to get wet like that powder in a zip😉
they have pnut butter,choco and multivitamin with actual vitamins in it.
try at asmc.de or here on yt überlebenskunst.at from a bushcrafter guy named rainer in austria.
he makes pretty good points on this.
i wanna say,
i watched your rucksack vids and what you said.
made me go out today for a 5km walk in the woods...first time in 15 years.
im that prime example you mentioned in your vids.
since i went into a corporation in 06 i havent done nothing for my body.
pretty stressfull job and always tired,turned me into lazy couchpotatoe with 35kg gained (comfort) fat on my body.
before that i was working as a welder and now i have crunchy knees,wrists are not the best and my muscles just went straight out the window,because i dont do any pysical hard work for the last 14 years at least.
im 47 now and(like you said)the body shows now what i did wrong in the past.
high bloodpressure from stress and gained weight....im at 135kg now🤦🏾♂️
i just want to tell you,that you reached a person with your videos for sure.
thank you sir🤝🏾
my feet hurt from walking around with all that weight but i feel somehow good.
keep em comin👍🏾
I came in here skeptical you'd teach me anything.... weight gainer... genius.
😂
I never considered Mass Gainer as a light weight hi-caloric food option. Brilliant!!
I thought he had a bag of freeze dried bean powder. Kinda like Instant re-fried beans. BUT, I like this idea much better.
The Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass is what you want. 1259 calories and 252g of carbs will kep you running. Since 2008 has been my "go to" and what I keep stashed in the bag with the #1 item - ammo! Fish hooks, line, flame, tarp a knife and a few other items and you can move quickly and get everything else on the way.
Their stuff is great
Down to earth, good common sense. I like and learn watching your videos, thank you for your service, you pay back well.
Thanks!
I actually had thought of that, but I passed over it in favor of other preps, now that you have fully explained all of the benefits, I will certainly revisit the subject.
Nice. Definitely a better call than protein powder. As for taste, when hungry, pretty much everything tastes better. Peanut butter is great (and perfect bait). Adding a little honey to it is nice. Honey keeps pretty much indefinitely. We have used powdered peanut butter in the past also. It's ok... but calories.
I put peanut butter powder in my whey protein. Hey, hows it goin Plash Palatka dude? your videos are awesome
@@davidoftheforest Hey, thanks! Doing good, brother. Working on some new stuff for videos now. Cheers
I've had many bad times in the field that were made better by peanut butter 😎
This video was right on time for me. I want to be able to travel fast and light. I'm relying a lot on trail mix and jerky and this gave me another simple fast food. Keep making videos. They are really helpful.
Thank you for your service to our country!
LOVE THIS CONTENT! Such an awesome channel as always! Thank you so much! I need this more than ever.
THANK YOU!!
An excellent addition to any preps, and it’ll go a long ways.
Great tip Randall, Thanks!
I'd always take peanut butter over mass gainer, if taking only one.
1. You can just eat peanut butter, when injured, or moving, it's easy to eat while keeping your eyes on where you are going. Peanut butter doesn't fall off a spork, and you can keep it in your mouth a long time, making you feel less hungry.
2. Altitude. People who haven't spent time above 10,000 feet sometimes don't understand the very odd food cravings they can get, and a craving for fat is one of them. Peanut butter satisfies this.
3. It's calorie dense. You can't exclude the weight of water to make mass gainer palatable.
4. It's a great base for other survival foods. Add mass gainer to your peanut butter, add honey to your peanut butter, add butter to your peanut butter, or bits of chocolate or granola. Peanut butter is a way to get weight efficient calories with different flavor profiles because it works will with so many other items that have long shelf lives.
I've found many people cannot eat the same thing over and over, even when they are hungry, and they require variety or they will not eat. I personally don't understand this, as I could eat the same thing 3 times a day for years, and while I wouldn't prefer to eat that way, it wouldn't be hard to do. Others cannot do this, they simply won't ingest enough calories without having a variety of foods or flavors. Peanut butter allows you to change flavor profiles much more than mass gainer.
Top idea Randall cheers for the idea..
Love it! Binge watching! And I’m enjoying your intel! ❤️🙏🏼🇨🇦
Thanks!
Great video. I had the mass gainer idea just a couple months ago and invested in a couple containers. What is usually absurd in terms of the carbohydrate levels in daily life would be as valuable as gold in a real SHTF scenario.
Thanks for the maxxgainer info. I want to point out the peanut butter label you showed. The brand you bought adds sugar, molasses (sugar) and some other additives. I'd recommend a natural peanut butter that doesn't add sugar or use shelled peanuts in a vacuum sealed bag. Still pretty light without the empty fat calories of sugar
sick music! great info, thanks man
Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Keep up the awesome job. Most people who have no support group or group in general this information could highly be beneficial to them.
Excellent tips man! I've had Excellent results with mass gainer. Honestly when it comes down to pack weight and the amount of space something takes up powders are the way to go. I've found a decent supplement store with honest staff and good prices.
While getting back into work I've been using a mixture of my preworkout and Amino IQ in place of a fat ass meal and a bunch of coffee. It fuels me for the shift and keeps me alert. It's been a while since I got some decent mass gainer though, I'll definitely have to stock up. Nuts are an excellent source of fuel and a guy definitely can't go wrong with some peanut butter or Nutella.
So go check it out do your own research.. spoken like a true man
Shared ... I was ARMY in 1977, but a weak heart (Was not told by my parents), which killed my older sister, sent me home with On able-Discharge ... If you have been following the Preppers, something massive is about to effect the entire planet real soon, so I am sharing your videos
1975-1977 ..... WestAfrica ..... nice to meet you
Prepper's skills are good, but I don't listen to too much of their dribble. I'm reading your post 2 years later, and am still waiting for the something massive to happen.
If you want to be lean, consume plenty of fat. It may seem counter intuitive but it's at the opposite end of simple carbs. Long term energy with the added benefit of keeping your body fat percentage to a minimum. Plus, fat gives meat nuts and avocado's... much of their great flavour. Peanuts are not actually nuts but they are very nutritious, contain plenty of fat and if you're like me, I love eating them. Peanut butter also often contains small amounts of sugar which though it doesn't make it the best for a quick energy fix, it can help slightly to bring your blood sugars up enough to keep you going. There is also the unsweetened variety but for survival, I'd probably not chose it. For survival, I prefer to cover both long term caloric needs as well as something to pull me out of a hypoglycaemia. Now I'm a type 1 diabetic so this may be more important for me, but when an athlete "bonks", they're actually experiencing a hypoglycaemia. This can also occur in a survival situation. Just my two cents.
You got a like from me. I never would have guessed the Mass product.
I have stocked up plenty of protein powder but I’ve never thought about this.
Your channel deserves much more recognition.
Thanks
Thanks!!
Holy crap this makes so much sense Why haven't I thought of this before!
Great video glad I stumbled on this channel
worth looking into, cheers for the tip.
i always looked at porridge/oats as being a super lightweight food option.
Last trip out i took a couple of army ration packs (havent had any for years)
was stunned at the amount of sugar in the, .... they tasted good, not that i'm fussy,
but i didnt shit for 4 days, lol
2 great choices. U tube 1st 4 the mass gainer
Thnxs 4 sharing
Great suggestions! Short term, you can also use a mixture called "spackle" to supplement. It a high calorie concoction that can save your life in an emergency. It's not terribly expensive to make, but a great energy food.
I was thinking about gainers and went with whey protein and with calories in other forms.
There's not much going on in there in terms of meal replacement, vitamins, good fat etc. Meal replacements are expensive AF and this is not cheap either. IMO most of the vitamins they list come from the whey protein. It's up to 80% maltodextrin - which is a hydrolized starch. You can mix whey protein with sugar, one multivitamin pill in the whole bag and get the same result.
I occasionally drink vegetable oil as my winter fuel. I once tested a crazy vegan version of Pemmican which was just oat flour, sugar, salt in oil in a PET bottle. I could function on it after SHTF.🙂
Instant potatoes is a good hack but depending on recent potato price it's 10 to 20 times more expensive than potatoes. They are 79% water so one must calculate if it's a good deal. Of course it takes energy, equipment and labor to make it. If you ask me, I'd take a diy potato mash with whey protein over a gainer everytime.
I dont eat meat much so a good fat (except butter, cheese) is a problem. I'd eat a sausage full of pig lard if I had to but I dont. Otherwise it's almost perfect. Maybe not in the summer. Peanuts 👍are much cheaper than peanut butter where I live. I use sunflower seeds a lot but peanuts have even better ratio of fat/protein/carbs. Even better than beans and you dont have to cook them for hours. I like beans but it's hardr to enjoy them without a lot of stuff like fried onion, tomato, spices and bread
I hear ya. I like those instant potato soups
Good topic, my man! 🙏🏽
Thanks for the tip! I am certainly adding this to my bag. I do like MRE peanut butter and will toss a few in as well. I also like Vit C+B tablets for the immune system.
Love your videos dude.
Thanks!
This is a great idea! Thanks!!!
Fun fact. Your body can convert protein into carbohydrates, but it cannot convert carbohydrates into protein. That's why carbs are not considered essential nutrients.
@UCS7kyY9hqClnfIYreR5xvpg Much of it depends on how adapted one is to different energy sources. A person accustomed to higher carb content would probably bonk when carbs are cut. In contrast, someone more fat adapted would probably experience a lot of GI issues if they fell back on a heavy carb content. Either way, if you're not used to powdered food, you might spend more time digging cat holes than making ground. It's best to try to consume some of your emergency provisions of choice occasionally to reduce the side effects of the transition. The challenging part about fats is that most tend to go rancid without a ton of preservatives.
Great advice, but now there's gonna be a run on the GNC stores and places like that. I wonder how long it will take for them to run out.
nobody gives a fuck about scooping up all the gmc dude
Like everyone else I never would of thought of that thanks you / great tip 👍
I'll have to check that out. I got 2 tubs of PB in my ruck currently but I'm not a fan of PB in most cases, so anything to swap it with something comparable and save some weight is an all around win for me lol
Good information. Thank you.
You're absolutely right about the worth of nutrient-dense foods for survival situations -- but there's one big caveat that relates directly to the notion that "I could eat it for a year and be fine." Factory foods are likely to have some ingredients that are extremely pro-inflammatory and/or hormonally deregulating. And while chemical analysis may indicate contents of certain macro- and micronutrients, their bioavailability may be in question. Native peoples of North America used pemmican as a survival food during lean seasons and travel (but you can't buy it in the store and preparing it at home can be tricky). But quality dried meat and shelf-stable fats like tallow and ghee, along with dried fruits and maybe some desiccated organ supplements, while not cheap, are another option -- and the recipe options could be slightly better than those with mass gainer products.
I agree. That's why I called it a supplement.
I roll with Hormel completes, yeah their a little heavy, but for around 2 bucks a piece for a wholesome meal and they can be heated in a GI canteen cup with a little water .
Great idea. Never thought about using that in my pack. Great information
I thought about this once, and then forgot. Hell yeah!
Dealing with a powder can be tricky in windy conditions, though. Also if not already in individual portions need to be careful to keep the remainder dry when using some of it.
Great info! I'm partial the dymatize meal replacement
I love Dymatize's protein powder
People dont do the math. You need to know how many calories per person per day in your family and start buying from there.
The best survival food is pemmican which was a Native American survival winter food. It’s jerky preferably bison or venison mixed with tallow and berries. It’s has enough calories and fat for the whole day. Animal tallow is the best friend when it comes to fat. This and bannock.
Great idea brother and glad I came across this particular video because I've been feeling like that little mathematical chicken with those big glasses on the Foghorn leghorn cartoon adding up all these different food preps to have on hand and to stow away for later. Stay safe and keep doing what you do brother.
🍻
Knew it would have been one of these workout things, smart stuff
Great all round ideas
That’s awesome advice. Never even thought of that
Thanks good info.
A good by product of consuming the mass gainer is you can produce enuf gas to power a small vehicle to get you to your next bug out spot
Honey glazed bacon.
Teriyaki beef jerky.
Teriyaki/ honey lazed beef heart jerky.
Gummy bears.
I didn't think about mass gainer.. 👍Hell yeah
Good idea. I’d suggest storing vegetable oil or solid vegetable suet too, for a calorie boost. 6000 cals per kilo. Same as pemmican. And it keeps a long time if dark and cool.
Beef talo is the best. I make my own to make pemmican. I recommend staying away from vegetable oils because they will go rancid in a couple months and take your food with it. I get the beef fat free (now after paying for a few lbs/kg’s) from my grocer after developing a relationship with them.
I vacuum seal my dehydrated fruits and vegetables, the trail mixes and yes, the powdered meal replacements. I determine quantities/portion based on per meal, daily or multi-day needs. I also determine portion sizes for trading or selling. Yes, it’s labor intensive but necessary. I keep an inventory spreadsheet of item, vacuum seal date, size then box 📦 and store. Same with seeds.
Great video and thanks!
That's exactly why I was a food service specialists. I think beef tallow mixed in dried beef and powdered vegetables. Make an energy bar out of that
Dried powdered beef
But bacon...
For me its home freeze dried and dehydrated everything!
Hmm never thought of this either lol good idea
Awsome channel! Sierras are an old stomping ground of mine. Keep rocking on.
Speaking of Peanut Butter, how about powdered peanut butter? And some Ovaltine too for flavor and a little boost?
Yes!
try some thing new thanks all ways good advice brother stay safe and practice
Check out the ingredients on almond milk...Packed with vitamins, similar to cow milk but lasts many months...Heavy like water, but much better in protein powders etc.
Update to my comment below. Not only did I try it, but I've been drinking it in the mornings (2 scoops, 300ml milk) every work day (5 days a week) for a month now and have experienced no ill effects.
In the process of storing these powders, say you put a days worth of servings in food saver bags, then sticking these bags in your BOB, how long before they loose their value? You can either stuff your back with survival bricks and live off what amounts to a big cookie for a few days, or go with this powder. Putting some of this in your bag is a great idea, but if expose to heat, cold in your car, how long will it last or be safe for consumption.
That's a good question. I'd say it depends on the bag and conditions. I rotate this stuff all the time. Maybe a non-dairy version would hold longer
This is a good item just to have on hand. Rough time are coming and getting as many nutrients and minerals as possible is important. I could probably live on peanut butter alone😂
I believe you. I do the very same thing. and eat it every day. navy doctor assigned to the marines. the best education I ever got.
Late to this, but you gotta be careful of those Mass Builders. Most of them are loaded with sugar to boost the calorie and carb count.
Excellent. A fellow Blue Cord Devil that likes ATVs and Hammock Camping. Appreciate the powder idea, I will look into it.
Red Devil Blue Cord
On a lighter side: I heard that in terms of SHTF food, human liver is actually both great and available.
Like all animals, it's our filter, so it's super high in vitamins and minerals. I think I'd definitely prefer some wild game over whatever the hell a human's liver will have 🤣
Mucho gracias ..... Extra bueno pro tip.
If anyone is buying "Mass gainer" As a long term bug out. Buy the one with the least "filler" otherwise you're basicaly buying dehydrated dog chow. That's all. Good advice for the homeless. I always drop them a canister, if they actually use it they find hundo stashed inside. Love me some humbles humans.
I wouldn't consider it to be long term
I used to use weider weight gainer. Added bonus, it makes you fart like a Howwitzer.
I've learned that weather it's long term or short term bug out to carry a whole bunch of weight isn't a good thing.. I got a whole 2 weeks of meals in a median medic pouch.. It's cool that u planted on your properties .
Last i checked peanut butter is pretty stable & calorie dense, for cold environments.
Never thought of mass gainer, I've never used it. What kind of shelf life does it have?
good info vid.whats ur thoughts on home made pemmican ?
I don't know if your aware, they have powered peanut butter at Wally world
Smart. Great idea.
I've been carrying Protein Powder; I like your idea of MASS weight gainer in preference to Protein Powder.
Which Brand do you recommend & WHERE can I buy it?
I don't have a favorite brand. I just look for one with a good mix of macros and micros
Mix the Chocolate Mass Gainer with the Peanut Butter and make Ranger Fudge!
Ranger pudding
Dang the intro was longer than the video
That crap might work for a few days until you run out of it, then what are you going to do for an extended time period like maybe 6 months? Synthetic stuff like that is not replenishable nor readily available. If there is only ONE vegetable to pick for long term survival it has to be the potato. They keep without refrigeration. They can be stored for months, and they can be grown very easily. This reminds me of the people that take their generator and their Nintendo out for a wilderness camping trip. LOL.
....facts!
So glad yt randomly recommended this channel. (started with grunt proof tent... Google spy knows I'm tent shopping lol)
Do you think dietary requirements are different for men/women/age requirements etc? I'm shopping with a 13 year old man in the making in mind, elderly relatives, etc.
Exploring relocation /evacuation kit options.
Planning to rotate stock when hiking... So preferably lightweight and edible.
The electrolytes I know about, the shakes I've been researching.
Definitely! I mean a 13 year old could survive on McDonald's fries if they had to. And of course men and women will have differences because of hormones. Generally men need more dietary fat.
@@GruntProof more dietary fat.. OK, thanks :)
Do you have preferences for dehydrated or freeze dried foods?
Pure genius.
This is a great idea, and i am a firm believer of this. There is some stuff out there with the word "nitro" in it, lots of products have it. I find this is better then just electrolytes, pre-workout(without nitro), or BCAA's to be honest but be careful...heart attack! It will pump you up man... no lies.
I use it for riding bike long distances, but id say itd be good for a morning coffee, better then the electrolyte, though not as healthy possibly.
As far as the Mass gainer, yeah, i cant stomach mass gainer though and i have tried oh boy have i tried. Too sugary. Id recommend some solids as well even if your packing light, it could end up running through you.
What solid food would you recommend number 1, if you had to choose to take (not an MRE lol)?
Do you have a particular brand that you use or like of Mass gainer?
I like simple junk foods, like ravioli or ramen. Then I rely on snacks to supplement calories, like peanut butter. I like ONs stuff. Cheap and decent quality
PB is great but by itself can lodge in the esophagus and kill you. I know this because I lost a cousin that way. Put it on a cracker or something that will take it to the bottom. The powder sounds like a great supplement but if that's all I could get, after awhile, I'd probably eat it with a 125 grain bullet lol.
When i drove around vietnam the second time i brought a container of protien powder bc the first time i ended up eating only bread for like 5 days in the middle of nowhere no restaurants or stores around
What brands do you recommend?
No specific brand. Just look for a good mix of macros
Oh, one more thing i find essential, a bottle of cooking oil
I prefer olive oil as it has many uses!
Have done the protein powders but not this stuff....will ck it out now, thanks!
I'm a pinto beans/jerky/dried cranberries/corn tortillas/pinon nuts kind of guy. I can crush and soak acorns if I need to👍
If Les Stroud has a younger brother .......
I've heard a bit about him. So thanks I guess! 😁
where do you get the hammock?
If I stock this how long will it last in good conditions?
Mine are usually good for a year. I rotate all my prep food anyway
Cool idea. I'm thinking thou how this stuff could back you up from going to the bathroom, as protein powder, bars etc are known too do.
