I'd rather eat survival food than "The bugs" or lab grown meat that klaus and bill want to feed us!
Or cancer "meat"...
Damn straight
You mean "ze bugs". As in "you VILL eat ze bugs."
In that case, you'll live longer not eating anything.
And on what planet is lab grown meat going to be less carbon foot print then growing a cow ... IMO they are going to go soylent greens on us and start passing "humans" off as lab grown meat.
They’ll rate a 10 out of 10 when you’re starving. I eat similar freeze dried meals when I backpack and most are incredible after 15 miles on the trail.
Yes indeedy! Tramping my whole life since knee-high to a grasshopper and it's the truest comment ever! Everything seems to taste fantastic after covering 10km through the wilderness... Even flour and water with a pinch of salt burnt over a fire on a stick tastes like mamma used to make :D
Mmm mmm.
@@2besavedcom-7 flour and water with a pinch of salt burnt over a fire on a stick sound like what a 5 star restaurant would serve you after you pay an average months wage 😀
After 30 miles you'd prolly eat a bug. And luv every minute of it.
Yeah when we were hiking in scouts, there was much less complaining about the flavors of the MREs at the end of the day.
Everything is better after a day on on the trail, but I've always been impressed with Mountain House meals compared to almost all the others.
We have one of these kits and it came with mushroom pilaf and my Husband is horrified by that one and the realization of how bad that day would be if we ever have to pull mushroom pilaf out to survive so now whenever we think we are having a bad day…we just say it’s not mushroom pilaf so we can recognize the blessings we have around us today. Thanks for trying these out…I really pray that we will never need it.
I'll trade for that mushroom pilaf.
You should buy some just to try and get used to when times are good. You'll also appreciate those good memories that come to mind as your enjoying sustainence in hard times
@@EndoftheBlock7224 I've 'lived' the hard times for 43 years...try being a quadriplegic that takes care of themselves without 'care givers'. Also live at//below the poverty threshold..who can afford to buy/eat CARBS in a box that costs a fortune and sits.....just in case. These DOOMSDAY foods have been touted since I was a kid and nothing forecasted has ever happened Carbs and Type 2 diabetes do not mix. Eating the SAD diet for too many years plus paralysis caused the diabetes. Don't plan on trying to live through any major event....not worth it at my age.
I'll have rice or crickets
You could use it as to barter with, for something else you need or want, if society crumbles.
People tend to look at this survival food as a "zombie apocalypse / nuclear winter" kind of thing but stuff like this will save your life in the aftermath of a natural disaster. Tornadoes, Earthquakes (significant enough based on locale), Hurricanes, severe blizzards, and even just taking them with you as a lightweight (literally) meal while camping or hiking. It's got a shelf life of 25 years so even if you only eat 3 a year while camping/hiking, that's 10 years to consume the whole bin, meaning it's still good during that whole time.
Honestly we had a pretty bad ice storm in January and we didn't have power for a week. Ever sense then me and my family have been looking more into this kind of thing in case next winter is jsut as bad or worse
I wish we had this in 1989 in my country when half the population was starving and there was no meat anywhere. Rolling blackouts every night for years and during the revolution that broke out in December of 89
I wonder how many would demand gluten free during the Apocalypse?!
Will not be a lot of gluten free, or vegan options in the apocalypse
Most certianly I would demand gluten AND dairy free! Just kidding
my sincere question is:
can you sample their foods made from year 2018, 2013, 2008, 2003 and 1998?
and compare the quality and the rate of deterioration? 🤔🙏
if they haven't such products, then *we cannot honestly say that the "shelf life" is such and such* , can we?
it might be just their prediction or good intentions 🤷♂️
those creamy dishes might be inedible in 3 years from now.. 🤔😲 let alone 25.. 🤨
About a week, maybe a month, they’ll be gone or converted into survival mode. lol

Let's see how JP feels a couple of days later and after a bowel movement. 😂😂
The C-rations that we consumed while I was in the service caused severe constipation. That's what the candy was for it was loaded with laxatives.
That's why we stock up on toilet paper..lol
Just what you need in an apocalypse-high inflammation! 😀

Follow up video
When I lived in Bozeman MT, I was an avid backpacker, looking for scenery and a good fly fishing spot. Dehydrated food, such as this, made the hike well worth it. We would filter pump water for our meals. They weren't like "home cooked meals", but they sufficed. They were good enough to give us strength to carry on day to day. And that's what's truly important in times of trouble. ....which we know lies ahead.
😂
Did you see Palestinian destruction?
You THINK 🤔 about what was left of a family's emergency food supplies after their place was nuked? After their hospital was nuked? 😢
Bro....😂...reality just sucks.
@@hrhtreeoflife4815Did you see what Hamas did on Oct 7?
So you're saying you're a lousy fisherman? And you had to eat some store bought food?
@@jasmith1867 Ever hear of being respectable and practice "catch and release"? We only kept some of the fish we caught on the last day of hiking. Plus we had frozen shrimp, a filet mignon and a stick of butter for our final night of backpacking. And I was anything but a lousy "fisherman".
These are not dehydrated, they are freeze dried, there is a difference. Dehydrated only lasts a few years versus 25-30.

That’s why I have so much respect for J.P. No matter what he gives you the TRUTH, I’ve tasted a lot of these survival meals and 90% of them taste pretty dam good, and even the ones I didn’t like were eatable…
Edible, not eatable Bri-bro-amundo!
@@patrickgragg5602 no spelling B in the apocalypse please…Lol…🤟
@@patrickgragg5602 That something is "edible" (meaning you don`t die when you eat it) is not the same as something you are being able to eat or "eatable" :) If it taste horrible it is still edible but it can be so bad that you are not able to eat it until you are dying of starvation ...
I was disappointed that he didn't mention that the My Patriot Supply meals are all starch. There are much better options than MPS in the survival food market.
like spam
It tastes better when you havent eaten.
Trust me, you wont even care what it tastes like. Just keep some Tabasco and salt and pepper handy. Props to you JP, most people dont try the prep food they bought.
I bought some prep food at a garage sale that had an expiration date. It was expired but I ate it anyway. It was better than Campbells can soup.
Hot sauce and seasonings YES. Watch the salt though as the sodium levels are already high.
There is a reason MREs came with their own bottle of hot sauce.
No, I don't trust you. 😜 There is a difference between eating to survive, extreme hunger and starvation. You aren't at the point where taste doesn't matter and if you are at the point it is still a good choice.
It's ok in a short term survival situation. However, none of the pouches have meat and the protein I believe is from soy or some other poor source. If all you want to do is prep for a 10-20 day situation, go for it since it's easy. But, if you want long term, pack your own food (carbs) in mylar bags and buy large cans of real dehydrated meat (protein).
Informative and hilarious review. Thanks for taking one for the team 😂
The thing is that it’s survival food you’ll be needing it to survive you’re not gonna care what it taste like it’s the only food you will have

@@peteroz7332 They barely deteriorate because all of the moisture is removed. You just add it back when you prepare it. I’ve had freeze dried meals on backpacking trips that were in my closet for 8 years and they were no different than the same product purchased right before my trip. I bet most would be perfectly fine well after 25 years.
Sure would be better than eating your neighbors.
@@peteroz7332 oh, there has been plenty of studies done on freeze dried food. This is how most of the survival foods are prepared. Freeze dried, so there is no moisture content left in anything. It lasts a really long time.
@@KM-wr2cb thank you 🙏
is this food - shown in the clip - freeze dried? do you know maybe?
Brother, in a survival situation when everything around you is going to B!den, a hot delicious meal REALLY REALLY REALLY BOOSTS YOUR MOOD AND THE WILL TO SURVIVE AND TO CONTINUE TO DEFEAT TYRANY!!!
LOVE YOU MUCH BROTHER!!!
Stay safe!!
I'd rather have a hot, nutritionally balanced meal than a bowl of starch - which is what My Patriot Supply is. There are much better survival meals for your money than MPS.
@@MisteryMan2000 such as? Just don't toss that out and then walk away.
There's no M&Ms in any of those "survival food buckets", you CANNOT survive without M&M Peanuts.
The Halloween Candy is piling up at my grocery store. When it goes on sale I might buy a bucket.
Hahahhaha! I need to know where you live!
Id also recommend stocking up on seasonings with the survival food.
Yes pre-ground seasonings loose flavor faster than not pre-ground, but you prep with whatever you are comfortable using.
Either way, the more flavor options you have the easier these will work for the long haul.
I actually enjoyed MREs, some more than others, but they definitely fill that empty place in your stomach
They do, but that's what they're meant to do - they have a massive amount of calories & such intentionally, 1 MRE every day or two might be all a soldier gets to eat on the battlefield away from camp.
I'm sure they're all different now but I had tried just about every MRE they had between the mid/late 90's - early 2000's. I lived in NW Florida, we seemed to have major hurricanes every year for around 5 or 10 years. We'd lose electricity & water for weeks, and being surrounded by military bases, MREs were plentiful. Lol
With MRE's, that little bottle of Tabasco is your best friend.
speaking of MRE's - before I got sober and was in the throws of my addiction (and homeless), my boyfriend and I got a hold of some and I could tell they were not right. He thought they were great but all I could taste was garbage. I researched how to decode the expiration date and they had expired 5 years previously. That left me with a special smell and taste and now can tell when anything is starting to go rancid. They did fill the empty place in my stomach. I thank God everyday from saving me from myself and now eat only organic whole foods. I do wonder how they would taste if they hadnt been rotten.
I liked MREs, especially the chili mac. I Also liked how you could make the heater bag explode 😂
These aren't military MRE's, they are MUCH better and higher end than that.
Here is the thing with , call it camp food...or any other freeze dried food. If you are hungry enough...it will all taste good...but it is a good way to preserve for long term.
I recommend just getting your own freeze dryer. Its actually quite fun.
You have control over the ingredients too.
Not worth the money to buy. The small amount of food you can freeze dry you need to run it 24/7 for months. I teach survival & freeze dryer are not a good investment
I have a $ 5000 freeze dryer that I never used . Approximately one year supply of 25 years of buckets of freeze-dried food for two. Farmland with goats and sheep .
Cover all bases
@@SarahConnor562 I raise pork chicken duck some beef and goat. ITS STILL not worth it.
The trick is to pack spices as well. Also try Mountain house. It’s a much better brand.
I have about 3 or 4 month supply of patriots survival. It well suffice in an emergency. Last yr wife and I decided to get in shape, and changed the way we eat so basically went from living to eat to eat to live.food is fuel for the body and the tank doesn't have to be full . We have lost 40lbs and are healthy. So good to know it's not that bad in an emergency.
I have bought several kinds of survival food. My suggestion is learn to cook with it now so you can work out any problems before the real thing is upon us.
Never too early to get ready for our inevidable future 😂
If Klaus gets control it’ll be an inedible future🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I remember when I was in basic training in 1986, for a few of our training exercises, they gave us MRE's. Of course, they didn't waste the fresh ones on new recruits, they always gave the oldest ones. (probably good rotation methods TBO). I have one from 1978. Tasted just fine to me.
By fine I mean it was edible, and could guess what it was supposed to be.
I thought about buying some gov. MREs but they cost more than a TBone steak. So I bought some baloney instead.
@@jasmith1867 In all honesty, MRE's were never meant to be economical. They were maximizing calories/function/longevity, for troops in theater. Definitely not cheap.
I won't say how much Ready Hour survival food I got from Infowars, but some of it was the big cans of Traveler's stew, one of which I decided to try, and it was quite good! Absolutely packed with rice, macaroni, chopped carrots and all the other good stuff! Even comes with a boullion packet so you can season to taste! So good I want to eat it all and then get a can to replace the one I opened!
I laughed, because I totally expected JP to be gagging and spitting the stuff out. What a pleasant surprise! I'm not sure about shelling out eight hundred bucks, but I am now a bit more positive about survival food...
its not worth it if you have the space for a freeze dryer .. just make your own.
I bought 3000$ worth when Covid was just taking hold. I'm glad I have it, also have a freeze drier. The stuff is really good for what it is, the Hobo stew being my favorite
A freeze dryer is like $8000+...if you need to preserve food just buy a dehydrator and vacuum seal some homemade jerky/veggies...
Sadly I can’t afford $800 or a freeze dryer but I don’t eat much in stressful situations so there is always an up side.
@@EroticOnion23 I paid like 500$ for mine and have used it quite a bit, for myself, family and friends
Thank you for the review. I own a couple of these so good to know what to expect. Also, for the person who recommended storing seasoning as well . thank you!
Makes me wonder how JP wife’s cooking tastes if the bucket food is 8 out of 10.
Glad to hear it’s not horrible
Thanks JP, I did wonder how the survival food tasted. Now I know; sounds pretty good to me.
Chicken flavor can be as simple as the flavors of a bouillon cube, or a large $7 jar of Chicken Bouillon from Knorr.
Or it can be home made dried powdered roasted chicken, dried chicken fat, and of course other seasonings we associate with chicken, such as poultry seasoning in stuffing mix. or even lemon pepper seasonings. Are you stocked with those extra flavor spices or herbs your family likes ?
A couple years ago I purchased a six month supply of Ready Hour buckets. Tried the oatmeal and pancakes. A bit on the sweet side but good. Tried the freeze dried blueberries. They were a 12 out of 10. Sat there and ate the entire bag. For me the blueberries would never last 25 years, might last a couple weeks after delivery.
I killed those blueberries. 😂😂😂 Also
Klaus Schwab is closing in on you.. 😂😂 Always good for a laugh.
Unless someone actually taste tests all these items, we go only on description. Thanks, JP ♥
Love that you did this with out pushing the product as a Sponsor. We all Wonder what it really taste like!! Thanks JP😊😊💖💖
It's actually pretty good food. But it comes packaged in pouches of 4-8 servings, and is NOT resealable or easy to divide up into smaller portions without preparing it first. So in a grid down situation where you have no refrigeration, it's only practical if you have a large family.....unless you want to eat 4-8 meals worth of food all at once.
@@juliebaker6969 thank you cause it’s only me
@@lizlucci You're welcome. It's just my husband and I. We bought it because it was buy one get one free, but we were disappointed when we had to fix so much at once. It's not so bad if you still have refrigeration, the meals are good leftover. But if the grid is down the amount it makes would be problematic. We broke into it when our daughter's car was down and she couldn't get us to the grocery.
@@juliebaker6969 Thank You💖💖🙏🏻🙏🏻
What do you mean??? It was literally an advertisement.
It's all carbage, right? I know you don't eat carbage. My survival food is canned meat and seafood. I always have cases of salmon, chicken, sardines and oysters on hand, which I already eat regularly. You can lose a little fat in an emergency, but get your animal protein.
PS: I also have powdered eggs.
@ConontheBinarian Virtually everyone has enough fat to last a long time, but if you don't replace protein, you lose lean mass.
@ConontheBinarian I highly doubt you know what you're talking about. Protein is not a generic macronutrient. Don't go without essential amino acids, and aminos are best in the right balance, which comes from (wait for it) animal protein.
Can you please review more brands… and also update us on your bowels? lol I’ve been wanting to buy one of these but don’t know which to choose. 😊
I’m not sure why everyone thinks they’ll cause bowel issues. The shelf life is from freeze drying to remove all moisture (which you add back when you prepare to eat), not from chemicals. I have no association with these companies but I eat similar freeze dried meals when I backpack.
That is most likely because they tried the MREs you get in military that is designed to give you constipation so you do not crap yourself while under combat... In military the food you get when going to rest is laxative and if you do not combine it right you have a lot of trouble lol ;)
Many people confuse them with the military MRE meals. They are not the same thing.
Well, my body dislikes Maltodextrin as a sweetener, and the oatmeal has that. Plus, they often have a lot of salt particularly when used as an entree.
🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for doing the dirty work! I was verryyy curious!
I appreciate you checking out how editable it is I have about a six month supply and I've said I hope things never get bad enough that I have to sample it well now at least I know it's can be eaten. Thanks for your incite on this JP.
I have a 72 hour ( trial ) pack from patriot supply I will never open till last resort haha. Glad to hear you give 7 out of 10 and 6 for the crusty rice. I do packs of Mountain House used by campers,they are individual packs that I buy at Walmart they have a large variety and I seal them in 5 gallon food grade buckets. I like Mountain house so much that I open and use them randomly and when I go camping. Please do a review of Mountain House you will enjoy it.
Gross, better to get rice and beans, canned goods etc
no such thing as better
Canned food heavier
@@DEEPSTATE000 water is heavy too bro
Canned items are only good for 6 months.
@@SarahConnor562- 100%. I buy stuff on sale and can it up.
The bucket should probably come with electrolytes too, so you don’t dehydrate after the food gives you diarrhea.
They do, lol. It's called something like "all American red drink with electrolytes" 😅😅😅
And yes, I've tried this food. It gave me the most painful gas I've ever had.
Those drink mixes do contain them
they do
Would it give you diarrhea though?...Looks to be just some pasta and generic spices...🤔
The Creamy Stroganoff used to be Creamy Beef Stroganoff. I still have mine that I bought a few yrs ago. People went crazy and they changed a lot of their recipes
I bought an XL Harvest Right and have learned a lot on freeze drying meals, vegetables and fruits. Delicious. I don’t regret it at all. In fact I would recommend all this to persons having a garden and want to preserve their harvest.
We bought a few months worth after taste testing a couple brands. Actually very good! Takes up a lot of storage space we don’t have in a condo.
You can store a lot of food in plastic totes under the bed. Maybe not a years worth, but certainly enough to get you past the worst of the chaos.
@@harpintn Got the AR15 under there! And some useless stuff._😂
You should tell the Patriot food people about weaponizing their buckets.
Do tell more?.?.
"...and as a bonus, you can fill the empty pouches with nails, place it in the bucket, add some explosives and BAM! You got yourself a bonus claymore to defend your ground from the ravenous hordes trying to get your Creamy Alfredo Pasta or Maple Grove Oatmeal."
They are well aware. Their one week supply container is a plastic ammo can. 😂😂😂😂
We love you now matter what you do, JP. Always fun! Thanks again!
I’ve ordered a bunch of this stuff, so i’m glad it tastes good WHEN the SHTF.
I would STRESS EAT the whole bucket in 1 Day ughhh hehe 😂😂🤯🤣🤣😃💜
If your food tastes good and not like dog doo, it makes the horrible apocalypse seem a little better, at least for a moment 🤣
A seperate garlic, pepper, cinammon, and a favorite mix are packed with my boxes. Thanks
I’ve never been terribly thrilled by my 25/50 year freeze dried foods, but I’m glad to have them. Regardless if the world ends soon or not, I’ll have food to eat when I’m old and my taste buds are tired. I love canning and preserving so, I prefer my own canned foods over the freeze dried stuff I have, but it will all be a blessing when I can’t shop.
I bought two pallets of MREs on election night 2012, and the patriot supply is something of a survival supplement than actual emergency food. Much like how taking a first aid course helps you to get through a stressful situation like choking infant or little Jonny nearly drowning. Those foods are mostly starchy and loaded with salt and preservatives. With practically no protein or essential fats or vitamins and minerals.
A lot of MREs I’ve seen on MRE channels were not freeze dried meals. Many have items that are just well packaged but still have their original moisture. These probably need chemicals. The products like the ones in the video have all their moisture removed so they don’t need chemical preservatives. Maybe some still have preservatives but similar items I eat when I backpack do not, and they don’t cause digestive issues for me (well, no worse than any high carb food).
@@KM-wr2cb those are the civilian ones. The Military issue are ONLY AVAILABLE when it has been put into Surplus. The contents are freeze dried and vacuumed sealed. You keep them in a refrigerator in your garage until you need them. Or just store in a cool dry place. As for nutrition they have All the Things needed for a 3 day operation. Just careful what menu you choose.
If that is so then you did buy bad MREs because I have never seen MREs that was not full of protein and fat...
These are freeze dried meals not MREs. You have to add water to them (preferably boiling) and let them sit for a few minutes to reiterate. Most meals of that type are good for 25 year or more if properly stored. The quality of those meal varies depending on which company you buy from. I haven't tried this brand, but I do like the Mountain House brand.
I just started putting out money for real freezed dried food. Chicken, hamburger, egg powder and pasta with chicken. As a person who works out I know we need protein and some carbs . Not the other way around.
Building a replica of your house underground is probably a good idea too.
Great! This is what I ordered when we shut down for…you know, the thing…
I haven’t tried any yet. So thanks for doing it!
Bought some buckets from Wise when I started prepping and did not know better. Saving it for my enemies.
J.P., please get yourself a Freeze Dryer if you haven't already. You'll have a good supply built up in no time.
Food your own family cooked, eggs your own chickens laid. ❤
The important thing is to be prepared. You may have a freeze- dryer, but how many months worth of survival food have you really stocked up with? 😊
@@tommy2u There is no such ingredient. Freeze-drying simply removes the moisture from food, making it rehydrate with hot or cold water. It doesn't boil unless you ... boil it. 🤷🏻♀️
The heater is a simple combination of powdered food grade iron and magnesium, salt, and water. When water is poured onto the included heater pad, the heater releases enough heat to warm-up the pre-cooked meal to 100+ degrees Fahrenheit in approximately 12 minutes.
You should comprehend what hes referring to before saying it doesnt exist. All MREs come with a magnesium heater that is activated with water. They are good for keeping warm as well but will burn you if dumped on your skin.
@@AcoolprofilepicMellieGibsons And you should, too.
These are not MREs. 😉
I’m thinking that for every bucket of survival food you should have a box of stool softeners.
That's true for My Patriot Supply because it's all starch, but there are others, like Mountain House, that have well balanced meals.
@@MisteryMan2000 Mountain House is pretty good, the breakfast meals are nice.
The major sellers all have dehydrated fruits & veggies & meats, to supplement the dishes you have such as oatmeal, stews etc to make a steady 10 out of 10 for awesome meal substitutions.
Thanks for sharing this with the people!
I’m glad you tried this, I bought some from the same company 2 years ago and I’ve been wondering how it actually tastes.
JP do they make a a bucket for Diabetics?? Cuz my father wouldn't be able to eat any of that it would spike his levels up! Thank you!! ♥️
First time watching , I really enjoyed your sense of humor!
Thanks for the video!
This was fun to watch ha ha!
When buying survival food, i have little concern for taste. More interested in nutrition. I don’t like the taste of pumpkin but I’d happily eat it if I needed to
If I'm going to pay that much for it, they can bother to make it taste good and have proper nutrition.
Luv the shirt JP 👍
Such a great video idea! I've always wondered about these things. Thanks lol
There is a sameness in how the dishes look, so I guess that is why they pay attention to the flavor. Always noodles, but sometimes they taste like beef, sometimes they taste like chicken. A little plus for the last 30 days of your life.
Auguson Farms is what I stock up on.
Dehydrated everything.
I've tried some. A few were suprisingly decent, but you'll want to stockpile seasonings for most. They tend to be bland.
Nice to hear these things taste better than they look. I've been thinking about getting a survival food kit at some point.
I purchased the $1500+/- emergency Food kit from Ready Hour. Glad to hear it is actually good tasting however that was not my priority, but I also look for preps that offer more than one purpose. In this case the buckets are easily modified for water filtration, as well as water tight containers to store clean water, to keep dry goods dry, and stackable storage of damn near anything. Great video, Thank you for sharing!
I don’t suppose JP will try out the WEFs long term survival foods with cricket soufflé and other delectable treats hand selected by Klaus ‘Barbi’ Schwab himself
I have a few of those buckets just sitting around too lol. The only one I've tried is the chicken flavored rice
I stocked up when Covid started with Ramen Noodles, dried beans and rice, knowing that I would not starve for a long time with these items, and as long as I had salt & spices, could make fairly tasty dishes. I have since been eating into this stockpile, replacing the items taken out with fresher stocks because I don't want my survival to depend on eating 20-year-old Ramen noodles.
Dried beans and white rice will keep for a very long time (like 10yrs) if kept in right condition. I also did same thing along with dried peas(perfect plant protein). Also canned meats I rotate plus starting to can my own dishes old-school.
A 5 gallon bucket of beans would suffice for $25, a 25 year shelf life if not longer and would last longer without all the packaging. Means you could definitely feed more than just yourself. Get creative, throw in some dehydrated sealed onions and the like in the bucket. You can dig a smokeless firepit in the ground if all else fails.
I love watching JP reacts to food. Can we PLEASE get a JP cooking show? I LOVE his reaction and comments. He doesn’t even need to cook. Just eat and react! Even once a week of this I NEED MORE
Maple Grove Oatmeal...."You can really taste the Grove".
"This is really good. I hope the Apocalypse happens!". 😂
Thank you JP! Im glad the exact buckets i bought taste great!
If you are really preparing this not the only thing you are able to eat. These foods are good fill ins, supplements, and augments, for other foods as well. I dry and dehydrate my own foods that can be added to Chicken flavored rice. You should have easy peasy things like onions, collards, potatoes, growing in pots. I appreciate that the store bought prepared foods are good. Nothing worse than a bad situation made worse than lousy food. Never cling to the idea that crumby food is ok when you are starving. Some folks will just give up. A little comfort can save you. Also have things like cards to play, games and of course books.
Mine all been good... Hiking meals also have came a long way
Looks alot like mountain house products. Probably tastes better than mountain house. But when i served the mre's were ok. Favorite was spaghetti with meat sauce. Saved the small bottle of tobasco and jalopeno cheese spread to mix it with.
Its all good if have hiked or paddled and portaged all day...

@@rogermilholland2341 oh mountain house is damn good lmao. The beef stroganoff is my favorite. 🍻🍻. But given a 15 year shelf life the chow he is eating looks better for some reason but I am aware of freeze dried rations lasting much longer then 15 years

🤣 another great video. Dude you crack me up!
Thanks for the review. Interesting & informative. 👍🏼👍🏼
I was thinking that all new housing developments should be required to have a real fireplace. That way as long as you had wood, you could still heat your house and cook off of hot coals.
One of the reasons I had a wood stove installed in my house. Can heat the entire house plus most of the winter there is a pot of soup sitting on top.
I saw they also have freeze-dried meats as well. Chicken and beef. I was interested about how those tasted. Seems like a cool additive for the stroganoff or the chicken and rice or chicken flavored rice haha
Well done! bucking for a 4Patriots sponsorship, I see... Good luck!
I remember eating MREs, they had no expiry date on them but i figured out to look at the chocolate bar expiry date. It was 8 years old.
HHAHA the flat earth ice walls are closing in omg Im cryin laughin so hard
I’m curious what your wife would think about the emergency food. It would be cool to see her try some of those meals.
Wouldn't a big sealed bucket of something like pemmican work better as emergency food? I think it lasts like a decade too.
Way better for you also..protein vs carb/gluten.
Glad you reviewed these. We have a ton of this stuff, most likely bought at the same time as you.
Should hit around Christmas! Dress that beautiful bucket like a Tree! 🎄
You need to get a freezer dryer and save your own food supply. It really does have a 25 year shelf life.
The important thing is to be prepared. You may have a freeze- dryer, but how many months worth of survival food have you really stocked up with? 😊
I wonder how many people will have 3 months of food but no water and no means of making or knowledge of how to make fire.
most people smart enough to stock months of food also stock water
I have solar powered water boilers - for when fuel is also a problem. Even cloudy it can work - it just takes hours.

I think it would be great to find a way to rehydrate live chickens. Stick them in water and you get a daily supply of fresh eggs and fertilizer to start growing your own garden from the seeds you saved.
Whew, glad you tried it before I did. Now, I hope you’re still alive and producing videos when the time comes for me to need it.
Love your basedness. Keep it up! Thanks for the review
THIS RAISES MORE QUESTIONS THAN IT ANSWERS!!!! Okay, let's unpack this information. $800 for 3 months of food, and that bucket was supposed to be ONE MONTH. I'm no "GENIUS" but............ Couldn't you just pack about 25 LBs of PASTA, 25 Jars of spaghetti sauce, 100 LBs of BEANS, 100 LBs of RICE, and a 55 GAL DRUM of WATER and still have $500 left and enough food for 6 months???
That crap you pack will go bad in a year. This is expensive but it lasts 25 yrs. Big difference.
@@roslolian11 WRONG! Beans that are kept dry are viable for 5+ years. As long as everything is dry it should remain shelf stable. There isnt anything special about the "SURVIVAL FOOD" but extra perservatives. SAY NO TO OVERPRICED LOW QUALITY FOOD!!!!
Folks, these are not the same as a lot of MREs. I think JP should do a video explaining how the kit works and how he prepared the dishes. A lot of MRE components have their original moisture so they probably have chemical preservative that could easily cause the bowel issues that I see a lot of comments about. I’m not sure about the product in the video but it is freeze dried. When water is removed by freeze drying and kept out by packaging, the food can last decades without deteriorating and without chemicals. You just need water to rehydrate when you are ready to eat. Someone in the military may not have access to water when they need an MRE, but emergency food kit companies assume you planned for water if you planned for food.
None are much good if there is no water available
@@dawnklug6986 I assume you mean the MREs. Sure, but except the instant coffee, the MRE components I’ve seen do not require water other than to wash down. Freeze dried meals without water would be like eating dehydrated pasta without cooking it: essentially inedible.
Thanks for the review! My wife and I have been shopping around for some good, long lasting, emergency supply food. At 25 years on the shelf life... again... thank you for the review.
We have them too. Read the ingredients. Make sure you are not getting a product that is bioengineered. The one's you were giving reviews on JP, are bioengineered. But they have a nice selection of non-bioengineered food, we have tons.
