I have many of the buckets and the #10 cans. Plus a lot of canned goods. I plan to balance them out. They aren't supposed to be gourmet meals. It's for SHTF situations. I eat this stuff occasionally just to have something different and to try the different varieties. I haven't found ANY that I would call terrible. But I also haven't found any that I would call 5 star restaurant quality either. People should try it for themselves and stop listening to negative Nancy's on KZbin. (Just my opinion) (we all should form our own)

The reason I do these video reviews is because I purchased a meal bucket and stored it away not taking into consideration it might suck, one night I tried it out and was shocked how bad it was and didn’t want people to waste money without knowing my thoughts to help them save money. These buckets aren’t exactly cheap. Now are the decent entry level? Sure if it’s a short term emergency but if anyone goes into a long term shtf situation of weeks to months living off these they absolutely will want to know how these are. Food is one of the greatest unifiers and morale boosters everyone thinks about during the day without realizing it- go out to meals with friends, go get food on the way to or back from work, having bbqs, etc. during an shtf situation are we all of a sudden going to be willing to eat lesser food just because it’s an emergency? At that point living off food storage morale will already be low from whatever loss put a person into an shtf event- hurricane, snow storm, etc. why not settle for less nutrition and quality? People spend thousands of dollars on stupid stuff yearly - new phones, TV’s, etc. but are un willing to sacrifice gluttony now for better quality of survival later. Want to buy trash food storage, go for it? I don’t sponsor any brand and get no commission for my opinions, at the end of the day I just try to provide a starting point of consideration, throw it out or consider it yourself. I did the starving college student diet for years, it sucked i hated living off salt and noodles because I was legitimately poor. In an shtf situation you will be expending more energy than a non emergency situation, what you eat directly correlates to your gut biome which in turn affects your mood, behavior, how much energy you have and for how long.

Years ago I bought a bunch of #10 cans for preps, some of which were Augason Farms. Not terribly impressed with their quality but it's not bad either (I only bought ingredients, not meals.) I recently bought a Harvest Right freeze dryer and have to say that if you have the time and motivation for it, doing your own freeze drying is the way to go. Yes, the machine itself is expensive but consider the following: You control the ingredients, so you can avoid all the garbage they put in prepared foods. You're practically unlimited in the ingredients and meals you can preserve this way. Freeze drying is the absolute champion in preserving nutritional value. Doing your own freeze drying is very cost effective. For example, a typical backpacker meal pouch for two (which really only feeds one hungry hiker) costs about ten bucks. You can freeze dry your own much better meal for about 10% or 20% of the cost of a store bought meal. So if you use your freeze dryer regularly it can actually pay for itself relatively quickly.

Heres my finding... Food buckets. Emergency food, regardles sof brand is ok in an emergency for a few days. With the lack if meat, fruit and vegetables, you will be loaded on sugar, salt and flour. Now if you want to stock up on canned fruits and vegetables, meats, etc it would be a good filler. For example the ready wise or mountain house and other brands you can use your canned fruits, veges and meats to add to the meal to they are healthier and go further, especially for overall nutrition. You will need good nutrition in an emergency, especially under the stress.

I totally agree. And as a dietitian, I view those emergency food buckets as a nightmare of processed junk. my professional opinion, is to stick with the single ingredient #10 cans. what I prep with, (high carb low fat vegan) are white rice, lentils, and the dried carrots, bell peppers, onions, spinach, tomato powder, and celery. I once ate exclusively from those items for an entire year (adding salt and spices as desired) and I was in perfect health at the end of the experiment, and I never tired of the food! So....my pantry is loaded with those items.

@peter5.056 4 ай бұрын
@@RagnarokReady A couple notes - my main meal was always lentils and/or rice of some sort. Even though I did cook with the dry veg, I got into the habit of grinding some of the bell peppers dry in my spice grinder, and adding them to the finished food without cooking them additionally. That way, I'd be sure to maximize the vitamin C content of the peppers. I ate 3 tablespoons of the bell pepper blend every day, to give myself about 200mg - 300mg vitamin C. I also used the spice grinder to make myself a "V8" juice mix out of the chunkier veg with the spinach and tomato powders, with a bit of salt, pepper, and lemon powder (forgot to mention the lemon powder in my first comment.) I had about a quarter cup of that powder every day, for an additional 200mg vitamin C and a big boost of a wide spectrum of carotenoids. That said, I probably could have gotten by with 1/5 the amount of vegetables I used, but I wanted to be sure I was getting enough micronutrients. In a survival situation, I'd feel comfortable rationing myself to about a teaspoon of each veg product per day.

These bell peppers really are awesome. Incidentally, they are very high in vitamin C, as the label has been updated. And judging by the smell and flavor, most of the nutrition is still intact. Dried bell peppers typically retain about 80% of the vitamins of fresh, and these appear to have been treated very gently, so I'm willing to bet that they're almost the same as fresh peppers.

This is a split zone unit so it needs to pull fresh air from outside and exhaust the hot air outside while it transfer and cools off the inside unit. no fresh air coming from outside is pulling the hot outside air into the camper through the walls and the canvas material. Causing a negative air pressure inside.

So that is why I brought up the fact everything I review is done at my own expense. And now for some reason after originally saying ‘don’t take this the wrong way’ to something that didn’t make much sense again that I’m not ‘convincing’ you are now deliberately actually trying to make me angry filling in imaginary blanks assuming my response for no reason after I made an non emotional response.
