    Thank you so much for your amazing videos. I am only 16 years old and am trying to get into prepping. Your channel has truly inspired me to get myself and my family ready for a disaster of any type. I will be a subscriber for life.

      Do you like pizza and want it in your preps?
      Try using;
      Tortillas, Pizza squeeze sauce, Pepperoni slices and pieces of shelf stable cheese. Turn it into a burrito.
      You can either heat it in a pan or eat it cold

    As far as I know, the survival tabs aren't meant to be eaten like a snack. They're meant for bare-bones subsistence, and are to be consumed as you would a life-boat ration, i.e. you're virtually inert, and waiting for help.

      🤦🏻‍♂️ if you knew anything about the military, you’d know that the standard for rucking is a 15 minute mile pace and it wouldn’t take you more than 7 hours to hike that far in full kit.

    Slim Jims and spam are excellent, and absolutely jam packed with protein and fat that you are gonna need. Individual servings of peanuts that you can get at the gas station are also great. I try to keep some of each in my get home bag.
    Another thing that doesn't get much discussion on prepping threads is that in a likely bugout scenario there will be other food sources available because disasters dont happen in a vacuum. When the evacuation order comes, you will likely have a minute and a half to pull all the lunch meat, cheese, bread, some canned soups, etc. and dump them in a box. Eat the refrigerated stuff first.
    As you get out of the immediate danger zone you may well find that grocery stores are still open. Stop in and get more food.
    Unless you live in a communist state you'll probably be bugging out with a firearm. Use it to procure more food in the form of wild game.
    Utilize emergency food kitchens set up by the red cross. You dont need to remain at the FEMA shelters, just swing by, if it's safe, and grab a hot meal.
    Your bug out food should be the very last thing you eat. As long as other food sources are available your MREs and your ramen should stay in the bottom of your pack.
    One last thing about bug out food: y'all need to get this 3 meals a day nonsense out of your heads. We are descended from cavemen who only ate if and when they found food. You're no better than them, so if they can survive for a week without food then you can skip a meal every day and spread your food supply that much farther. 3 meals a day is for wimps.

    Granola bars will suck water out of you unless their super moist. . . Anything with salt will make you thirsty, not a bad thing, but you will need more water. . . I am happy with MREs, as they are made for people in a high stress, high exertion, with moisture built in, so minimal water intake needed. . . . I usually take only about two packets per day. . . . open the pack and the contents fit into a smaller area. . .

It is a smashing one off product for learning how to make the ultimate survival food minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my good mate called Gray at last got excellent success with it.

    Try bringing along powdered soup, mix them wif just a little bit of water and they give u 200 more calories for a tiny little sachet. Soup also contains sodium which can help someone suffering from shock

      I've recently discovered these mini pasta 'pellets' (acini de pepe) that cook up fast and add an extra 200 calories for a 1/4 dry cup that can be added to any portable powdered or cubed broth.
      I've made small packets for my emergency go bags that include the broth packet and a tablespoon of Bragg's nutritional yeast (big vitamins there).
      You can also mix in a tablespoon of dried milk or dehydrated potatoes for the 'cream' / thickening factor and upgrade to bone broth soup powder packets.
      To mix it up/add more survival calories, Amz sells those pkts of small olive oil and coconut oil to-go/take out portions as well.
      It keeps things basic, lightweight, very compact, plus offers a warm meal with decent calories & nutrition depending on your combo of ingredients. Especially for compact emergency bags or kits.
      I enjoy ramen as well, but even when you crush up the noodles in the bag it can still be way more bulky. Or the stupid bag will pop open when you least want it to. Been there.
      I like smaller Ziploc snack bags for these mini soup/noodle kits, but much prefer the vertical opening kind. I just ended up getting ones from the jewelry or craft sections at the big boxes or craft/hobby stores in 3-4 mixed sizes. Works well for this and for organizing/protecting/labeling other non-food pack items.

    another option are those multivitamins. when hiking or bugging out you lose water minerals etc, and although you could replace them through food, it may not be enough. So pop a one multivitamin to give your system a little boost.

      You might wanna get 'em in powder form, though (fish oil excepted). Compressed vitamin tabs aren't as bio-available as powders. The stomach has trouble taking the pill apart, and you excrete partially digested tabs, in your feces. 'Don't mean to be gross, but its something to consider.

    I don't really have the best bug out kit. Mine would probably be considered an edc lol. I bring a medical bag with some fire stuff and two pocket knives. I've started to use my walking dead gym bag to carry things with me at all times. the bag carries three bottles of water and my medical bag. and what ever else I need in there. I just got some beef jerky in my bag. it's light and I love beef jerky lol.

    Not bad I don't know where you live but I live in eastern ky and water is plentiful out here. We all say if ya don't like the weather wait 5 minutes. It rains a lot and the ground holds water forever and creeks are everywhere. So I'd go with food that's dry. And I know my area decently well I have 10,000 acres of untamed woods 3 miles from my house and then another 3 miles i have 100ish acres I can go to and then a 1/4 mile from my house there's 30 acres I can go to. So if you have lots of water nearby then go with dry food.

    water tabs/life straw get 99.999% out of the water i think maybe your under estimating them!
    i only say that cause if a real shtf happened chances are you wont find water that is clean, i know nothing is 100% but something is better then nothing. thus water tabs and life straws are a good back up.
