For anyone wondering, Cabela's is owned by Bass Pro, but is more centered around food preparation (making jerky, sausages, etc). Cabela's was bought by Bass Pro because supposedly people kept trying to get meat smoking products from Bass Pro

[@pokemaster123ism]

Makes sense. If you’re gonna hunt, you’re obviously gonna want some way to store, preserve and cook the food

[@raptorman6589]

Most people who are big into meat curing don't go to cabelas

[@MonsieurBro]

@@raptorman6589 it's a different niche of meat curing, more for just randos that suddenly have a load of meat from hunting and need to keep it from going bad as opposed to people who are more into the culinary side of smoking meat etc

[@chataclysm2112]

I thought cabela's was a shitty videogame about hunting the grizzly bear who killed your father

[@DoobieGames]

Cabela’s was purchased by Johnny Morris (Bass Pro owner) due to Cabela’s being in financial hardship. Morris being the businessman he is, seen a great opportunity to combine the two. Morris being friends with Cabela’s previous ownership decided to keep the name to save the brand that was built.

One of my favorite recurring bits. Having seen the video it came from when it was posted, it feels kinda special.

[@phoenixvance6642]

I remember first hearing a random "plop" ages ago. It was a video of some baler going in a field and whoever was filming just said "plop" as a bale came out. Wonder if that's what inspired Ian (it was basically in the exact same cadence he uses)

[@Akoyabones]

@@phoenixvance6642 possible, although I feel like the cadence used is the universal ...plop accent?

[@DeusJames77]

3:24 I as a backpacker can say (not having watched the full review) the freeze dried meals are meant for backpackers, but you can also use them for "survival scenarios." That being said, after you have been hiking over 14 miles for a whole day (with a pack) these all taste like the best thing you've ever eaten.

[@anxiousseal556]

This is what I love about going outdoors, everything is much more enjoyable even a simple sandwich can be a 5 michelin star meal after a long hike.

[@yourfavoritebubbe7444]

I was going to say the same thing. Especially because the most you want to do at the end of an 8 hour day of hiking is boil water

[@nickmartin5803]

No joke. I think the ones that are supposed to be solid foods (like biscuits) don't translate to JAW pouches very well. But the breakfast scramble has been my favorite so far. Add in a couple hot sauce packets that I grabbed from the gas station on the way there and it's actually pretty good.

[@wendell_stamps]

That lasagna is fire when you're backpacking

[@Rapture9999]

I’ve eaten these with cold water when hot wasn’t available. Some are better than others. Water must be like lava hot for these to properly cook and take much longer than directions say.

[@averageperson8882]

We may have to wait 1 to 2 months between most videos but the quality of each one that Brutalmoose produces makes it so worth it. I even watch the sponsored advert because they’re so unique.

[@Belgand]

This is one of only two channels I have whitelisted in Sponsorblock because the sponsor segments are so well produced. I actually go back to them if one mistakenly gets skipped.

[@foolsgold5588]

[@atlasking6110]

As a veteran hiker and primitive camper, I've tried all of these. The Mountain House lasagna is really good. I like to make a campfire frybread to dip in the sauce. Another great MH meal is the breakfast burrito mix - you don't need tortillas, I just eat the mix as is. It's better than their regular breakfast entrees.

[@TeruteruBozusama]

In Norway we have REAL Turmat, and while hard to find and rather expensive, they do resemble these but seem to be a little better quality and some more thought put into what should be and what shouldn't be in them. When I read biscuit on the package Ian chose I felt that it was a horrible idea*. As while some baked goods are delicious to dip into a soup, stew, or something, it's good because you do it yourself if you understand what I mean, so one can decide the level of soggyness oneself. And if they manage to make it not get soggy, was it probably dipped in some weird chemicals beforehand... But yeah, freeze dried meals like these can be really delicious if done right and I've bought a week's worth just in case something happens with the war so close by... I probably should buy more... and some jerky... And some more cans of fruits and vegetables for vitamins and stuff..! * in Spain they sell chocolate milk with chunks of Marie biscuits/cookies, which also gets a nope from me.

[@gwennorthcutt421]

@@TeruteruBozusama honestly the idea of biscuit pieces was a little odd to me,... when i go hiking i just take some biscuit and a bottle of milk. pop that into a dutch oven and you got a nice little shortcake! i think thatd be more appetitizng.

[@stuffedlegoguy461]

Last year, a buddy and I hiked across the US for 4.5 months. These meals were never in our packs, as they were way too expensive. One day, though, we were out in the middle of nowhere in South Dakota and an amazing lady pulled over to the side of the road and offered us whatever we wanted out of a cooler she had. Of course there were soft drinks and snacks (which were a godsend themselves, as it was ~95°F), but she also had 2 freeze dried meals. We asked if it was okay to take, and she basically shoved them in our packs for us. After a 25 mile day, we ate that questionable macaroni and beef like kings.

This’ll get lost in the comments but Bass Pro Shops bought out Cabela’s ~6 years ago. At this stage all the logistics and products for sale are dictated by Bass Pro shops, just with a different name on the front of the store. Also very glad you did not have to endure the horror that is an Alpine Aire meal, quite possibly the worst thing you could possibly eat, ever.

The store itself also has aquariums and it has boats and stuff on display. They even do the whole "visit Santa Claus" thing during Christmas time.

Got thrown out of that very store. If they don't want people fishing in the pond they should put up a sign. Geez.

As a camping / backcountry hiker, those mountain house meals are legitimately my favorite thing. Sometimes I'll eat one instead of cooking dinner just cause they're so good. The Biscuits and Gravy one is my favorite breakfast one, right after the Breakfast Scramble. Chili Mac and Beef and the Beef Stroganoff are my favorite dinner ones. God I wanna go to REI and buy some now :(

10.00 each though, is insane

[@Coconutsales]

@@MaxW-er1hm Yeah, but I find them on sale for like 7 or 8 bucks locally. It also helps that I don't actually eat them for every meal. They're better than anything I could make in the backcountry, at least considering the weight. Water you just filter on-site so that's not even an issue.

[@MaxW-er1hm]

@@Coconutsales you got to pay for that freeze-dried convenience I guess ,I was just thinking I'd take a tupperware with me. That's about double the cost of a freezer meal to be freeze dried. Not THAT bad , but no bargain. I want to try them now, lol. If they were cheaper I'd stock up for emergencies-which I'd guess they feel justifies the higher cost....

Your food content always entertains me! Never stop those!

I love these videos. Brutalmoose videos always make me feel better

They remind you of MREs because those pizzas are EXACTLY THE SAME THING that they put in MRE Menu #23, Pepperoni Pizza Slice

I think I speak for almost everyone here, but this is by far one of the best channels on KZbin. It's just so wonderfully weird and zany. It brings me back to when I was a kid and watching those public access tv shows where just about anything goes.

[@themindofageek9790]

I love how much fun you seem to have with the editing! It's always a delight to watch your videos and chuckle at the dry humor.

It was all the costco frozen foods destroying the molecular structure of the fridge

[@BanjoBanjo1017]

I’m just in love with the time and care that the editing must have taken. The editing is just amazing quality and severely humorous.

[@Blixthand]

Every Brutalmoose video is worth the wait. I’ve tried a few freeze dried meals myself over the years, and found a handful that are alright, but at least in Sweden they are so ridiculously expensive. The kind of hikes I’m going on I’d rather bring something canned and compensate the extra weight with it being a fifth of the cost or less.

this video went above and beyond, thanks moose

[@milliped_e]

I think the mold has gifted you with additional creative genius Ian. Those transitions had me laughing out loud multiple times

[@GoetiaTV]

So glad BrutalMoose got to spend some time outdoors, getting fresh air, and living the camper life.

[@algeone]

Always loved your edits man

[@The.Culture.Consultant]

Ian, this is a highlight in your editing and scenic choices, loved every minute of the video!

[@deathstinger13]

Ian, you're not alone in getting some MRE vibes off the individual packaging on those pizzas. It looks EXACTLY like what you'd get out of an MRE. even has FRH instructions.

[@jamesstewart2403]

It’s actually included in an MRE same brand makes them. If you are curious it’s “meal 23 pizza slice, pepperoni” as far as MREs go it’s actually decent although it didn’t come with skittles so no deployment bargains. 7/10. From my understanding the pizza MRE started in 2019.

I get the feeling that Pizza was military surplus

As someone who enjoys both backpacking and Brutalfoods videos, this is a niche crossover of interests I never expected to yet am pleasantly surprised to see.
