Augason Farms emergency food honest thoughts

[@peter5.056]

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.

Thank you so much for sharing!! Your input as a dietitian coupled with the fact you tested these is such a great case study!! I’m going to pin your comment that is so invaluable

@@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.

Awesome information!! Thank you so much taking the time to share all of this, a lot to learn from your post

I was about to buy one of those buckets! Thanks for letting me know

[@RagnarokReady]

Absolutely! A lot of these brands if you go straight to their websites sell smaller samplers, I suggest trying those out before any purchases. So far as far as buckets go my #1 is peak refuel, then Mountain House, and lastly Readyhour aka my patriot supply however Readyhour is like Augason farms dehydrated not freeze dried so it will require more water and energy to cook rather than rehydrate

[@christenascott5280]

I buy some Augustin forms and some Thrive life. I quit buying any this past four months. I got to thinking I’m not gonna be around in 25 years or else I’d be in my 90s. I think about 10 years OK so I just buy occasionally. Those buckets are like 4Patriots-very high in carbohydrates.

[@RagnarokReady]

Thank you for sharing, and I absolutely agree they are mostly loaded with carbohydrates. Keep up the good work!!

[@HelovesU-we4qh]

I love you! Thank you for your brutal honesty!🤣😂🤣

[@RagnarokReady]

Will always try to remain neutral so others can avoid any costly mistakes, thank you for watching as well as the support ☺️!!

Good video, you want your food to have a good flavor, however when needed and you are hungry it would be better than nothing. I have some Augason cans and a bucket, not going to use it unless 1, I need it or 2, about to expire. I also have Ready Hour, have not tried that either, you are tempting me to try them.

[@RagnarokReady]

Thank you for watching as well as the feedback, and I totally agree it is better than nothing. I ready hour is a very good option!!

[@user-eg1no7kb3f]

Emergency food is exactly that. You hopefully will never have to eat it, it won't taste great, but it will keep you alive. I find it hilarious that folks are doing taste testes on emergency. By the way, Peak Refuel cost is 1000% more, and for something you will PROBABLY never NEED to use, well make the choice.

[@RagnarokReady]

You have some good points, but plenty of people worldwide that have benefited from having food stored away. That being said, quality is something that may want to be taken into consideration as it can seriously affect a persons physical health, not to mention mental if you find yourself in a situation of having to live off food storage, it can be a great morale booster. I do these tests so people know what they buy before wasting money and leave it up to them if it’s something they want to try for themselves. Thanks for taking time to comment

[@peter5.056]

I make it my policy to only stock stuff that I actually eat. Buying items for emergencies only is a gigantic waste of space, time, and money.

[@GospelOutside]

Their buckets are pathetic in so many ways. They fill them with pastas and cereals and flour and all manner of meatless options. Horrible. Stay away people

[@acehero127]

Ohhh so worst case scenario I'll die because it TASTE BAD😂 FH

[@RagnarokReady]

Worst case scenario you’ll die from malnutrition , eat what you want but in a grid down situation where you’re living off food storage, an already stressful situation as is, do you really want to be forced to eat junk that has no nutritional value and tastes horrible? Just because things go bad your desires of good food won’t change overnight bud

[@sgtusa90]

SADLY >>> LOTS Of the AUGASON FOODS Are " NOW, Using GMO & BIO - ENGINEER FOODS " !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O((

[@RagnarokReady]

That’s great information to know, thank you for sharing!

[@Mike_Y.]

It's emergency food, not for daily use. Chill out
