Overpriced, way too much sodium and subpar taste. But you can be lazy? 🤷♂️
He he he that’s my step dad but lol
Rations are for people on the brink of starvation. What a stupid video.

More videos like this for sure
I have a food allergy, easy to pack, carry, edible, will not put me in hospital, do not have to deal with ignorant waitstaff, can take on a plane…with overnight layovers and cancellations this may be a good back up food for travelling.
If I ever went camping I think I’d rather buy a military MRE than buying one of these lol
Have this dude eat those same meals after a hard day of hiking, and they will suddenly taste amazing.
Fettuccine are not NOODLES
“It’s an interesting day today” 😂
Funny he’s a pro chef in a giant kitchen…he could pour out each of these into a pan & make them super tasty in a few seconds with some little tricks
I would be curious how he would feel about these after hiking to the top of a mountain or something or the sort. Literally just curious how physical experience and exhaustion impacts the willingness and the experience.
Don’t know. Just curious.
Make him eat last after a major incident. This is not a 5 Star restaurant.
LAME! Read the commits below this video, and I’m willing to bet my life that 95 percent of the commits are from those who couldn’t find yourselves around a kitchen if your lives depended on it. This is coming from someone who actually cooks my meals and from my experience as a chef. This guy Is hitting the mark on most of these pre packed food meals. The folks making these meals are only giving you calories to burn not real “FOOD” all the while laughing all the way to the bank at you all. Take the time to invest in prepping your meals yourself its not rocket science kiddos, show yourself some love. Those who are pro pre packed meals could do land slides better and just grab a fistful of earth at the top of your mountain peak, hill, or the middle of nowhere and mix a little hot water. Bon Appetit!
Hahah trust it tastes much better in the bush when you have been out for 30+ day canoe trip 😅
Just finished backpacking for the first time. I swear this is the only honest video . Man me and my grown son were dying. These meals tasted like trash and I brought hot sauce and salt. Next time I’m living on oatmeal packets, tuna fish and protein bars
I hate 90% of dehydrated food. Impossible to eat
When it comes to freeze dried foods being too salty, they are designed to feed people who are up in higher elevations hiking in the mountains. Everyone knows that you need more rehydration time and more salt as you go up in elevation. This is why airline food would taste even more disgusting if you ate it while In the airport instead of up in the air. Our taste buds are not the same the higher we go up in elevation. Also the extra salt will help replenish some of the salt that was lost through physical activity during the hike.
Bwahaha
To quote Miguel de Cervantes: “Hunger makes the best sauce in the world.”
Hike / Backpack 6 — 14+ hours a day, for days or weeks on end, carrying 30 — 60+ pounds on rocky dirt trails, over hills and mountains, AND THEN try these meals again.
Why don’t you get this chef to make something that will remain shelf stable, portable and edible for the duration of a week long or more hiking trip that will be up to his taste standards, and also fit the caloric and macronutrient requirements for someone who’s been hiking more long distances while carrying loads each day?
Pro tip — those eggs need double the hydration time and a bit more water than the instructions suggest — only then are they edible.
I don’t get the point of this video.
This is the wrong person to test dehydrated food. He woud probably say the same negatives about canned foods.
An appropriate tester would be someone that needs to use dehydrated meals.
