    I've been watching so many of these homemade MRE videos, I didn't notice you didn't mention the rules.

    I agree with the others who said thank you for leaving in the bloopers. We've all spilled food while camping.
    I am a "dunk the tea bag 3-4 times and then get rid of it" guy. I had a guy who worked in our church kitchen who would brew tea by putting about 20 tea bags in a gallon of water and boiling it furiously for about 15 minutes. That tea was BITTER but it was so strong you could use it as coffee.
    As far as the pudding cups go, those of us who went to school back in the 70s remember the pudding CANS. A little serving-sized metal can with a pull top lid. I told my kid about it and he didn't believe me. No one remembers those.

    I was thinking “cowboy”, my kind of trail meal, as soon as you introduced the beef and beans. I grew up in Idaho, in a family that raised cattle and had working horses. Ok, ate lots more potatoes than beans, with beef. Oh, and never had sweet tea until I was stationed in NC. Grandma made sun tea in an old coffee jar. Just Lipton and well water, but so damn refreshing. Brewing in the sun did something to the flavor. Or maybe it was the Snake River aquifer water. Thanks for trip down memory lane. And wishing you smoother sailing on future videos. hot sauce in the face isn’t funny unless it is someone else.

    I love watching your content. Have you ever tried doing an MRE from the stores in a strip mall ( skipping any big store like Target)? We have TJ Max, Marshall’s, and the usual suspects. Most of them have a small area of unusual or interesting food stuffs, but it would probably be a challenge to put together a full meal, and it would include multiple stores. But I’m here for wherever you make it from.

Instead set a monetary limit and have a Dream MRE series. Love your content even the camping stuff I was once a backpacker but now have some mobility issues. I would have used a trailer like yours back in the day but I'm not suited for sleeping in one of those today either. Your series keeps me in the mindset of what I can do to enjoy the outdoors even in a house on wheels (something I would have hated in my younger years. Keep up the great content!!!

    Wow, talk about synchronicity! Food City is my local grocery store although the local one isn't as fancy as the one you described - there is no balcony dining area, just a few tables in an area next to the deli. My location did away with the salad/fresh food bar some time ago. I worked for White Stores when Food City bought them out so, once upon a time (over 30 years ago, before I graduated college) I was a Food City employee although they have built a new store in a new location since then.
    Anyhow, the reason this is synchronicity is that, after being in there earlier this week, I had specifically planned to leave a comment and tell you about some things I found that Food City has just started stocking - at least in the local one. Those Old El Paso beans were one of the items.
    I also picked up a couple of shelf-stable meals that come packaged pretty much exactly like Hormel Compleats but these are Ben's (as in formerly Uncle Ben's) 'Street Food'. There were a couple of vegetarian options, which I skipped. I picked up one that was Jamaican Jerk Beans and Rice with Chicken and another that was Gumbo with Chicken Andouille. I didn't have a lot of hope because I am not a fan of most of the pouch rice from that brand but thought I'd try them. I ate the Jamaican one, first and was very surprised at how good it was. Not just edible but good. A little on the dry side, maybe. I will be adding a few of those to my 'heat in boiling water' preps. Not a lot of chicken so one might want to add a pouch of chicken if more meat is desired. There was a nice amount of beans for protein, though. I just had the gumbo for lunch. It was just 'meh'. Rice in a sauce with a very small - almost unnoticeable - amount of meat. It wasn't bad, per se, just very bland. A couple of dashes of ghost pepper hot sauce, some salt and black pepper improved it, a little but not enough to make me want to get it, again. I think I recall you saying you were from or lived in New Orleans for a while so, having had gumbo made by someone from New Orleans, just let me say, "Don't do it."
    The other thing that is new to my location is a selection of Starkist Beef Creations. In small pouches like the equivalent Tuna, Chicken and Salmon Creations. I got one of each - Barbecue Beef, Taco Style and Sloppy Joe. I have been saying for a couple of years that I wish someone would make a ready to go Sloppy Joe filling in a can, pouch, etc. So I tried that one, first for lunch one day this past week. Well, I still wish someone would make a ready to go Sloppy Joe filling because that ain't it. I heated it (hot water submersion method) and dumped it on a bun. Well, more like poured it on a bun. What I ended up with looked more like a chili bun (chili no beans, that is) than anything I would remotely call a Sloppy Joe. It honestly tasted more like chili, to me, too. Very disappointing. I would advise skipping that unless you just want to experience it for yourself. I haven't tried the other two, yet but am not holding out much hope.
    My location has those packs of shredded beef like you had, as well. They have been on clearance at that price for well over a month and I don't think a single one has sold. I'm waiting to see if it comes down to $2 a pack or less. If it does I will probably buy all they have.

    I’ve only recently discovered your channel, but I’ve already had the pleasure of watching several of your MRE compositions. You’ve become sort of an inspiration to me, though prepped MRE’s aren’t exactly MY thing.
    My interest is in backpacking, and commercially prepared and packaged backpacking foods are crazy expensive! I’ve long been interested in putting together menus of affordable, lightweight, but tasty and nutritious backpacking meals.
    As you might imagine, the rules are necessarily different for my project than for your MRE’s. Having to cook or rehydrate is expected. I don’t expect to carry a lot of water-weight in my pack. One-pot meals without sides or even desserts can be perfectly acceptable, though some treats can be a bonus, and I have my own signature trail mix. ;-)
    Despite the difference between your project and mine, there is naturally some overlap, and the way (and places) you shop gives me some good ideas. A Ralph’s (Kroger) market in Rolling Hills, California carries a delicious beef summer sausage that can last for some time without refrigeration!

    Just pulled something out of the pantry for lunch. I’m very proud of myself, it was good. Think it would be an idea for an MRE. Just a can of Poseidon teriyaki salmon fillet over a cup of Minute white rice. I like it as is, but it would be a great platform for hot sauce. Had mine with a ruby grapefruit cup. Thanks for the videos, you’ve turned grocery shopping into an adventure. An adventure this old guy can still handle 😅😂🤣

    I don't use teabags most of the time. My travel thermos has a built-in filter, so i just add a heaping teaspoon of tea. On the rare occasions when I do use a teabag, I take the teabag out before I drink the tea.

    I succeeded in a no added sugar MRE from dollar general, it has canned tamales, Pringles, cheese-its, mandarin oranges, and a Bai drink. I've not tried canned tamales or the Bai drink, I'll find out on Monday how good they are. I was hoping for Fritos instead of Pringles, but I am not spending $4.50 on chips

    Love the videos. Thank you for the time and effort you and your family put in in making them to keep us entertained.
    Some things I would love to see is a 24 hour ration pack, a family dinner rations pack, and a 4 or 5 course dinner ration pack.
    The family dinner would need enough food to feed 4 people. Say 4 adults. The four course meal would include a soup, an appetizer, a main and side dish, a beverage and a dessert. Add the walking around snack and it's a five course feast.
    Other options could be super size or hungry man meals (larger portions). Also could try themed meals, holidays, Mexican, Chinese, spicy and more.
    Once again thanks for the entertainment and l am looking towards next Sunday and another video.
    PS. How's the Hot Sauce eye doing?

    Store brand MREs sound like a great idea. Some store brands are better than the brand names, most of them are not, but adequate. Comparing the same MRE made with the brand names would be educational. I'd like your opinion as to weather the cost difference is worth the quality difference or not.

    Dad down Dad down. Lol. Sorry. The optimal temperature for the hot water for a cup of tea is 80°C otherwise the tea leaves get scalded and the tea becomes a tad bitter. The same with leaving the tea bag in, it can turn the tea bitter. But hey some people prefer that taste.
