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.

[@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

[@CowboyLuigi]

​@@anxiousseal556I should definitely try that out. The simplest things being enjoyable sounds great. It likely would teach me to feel alive and grateful.

the PLOP sound effect is like a good friend you knew for years. You don't see him all to often, but you are happy everytime he returns.

The fact that Ian continues to use that sound bite years after it's creation is part of why I love his videos.

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?

"I don't like soggy bread." Buys a meal that's literally the embodiment of bread soaked in a viscous liquid.

[@itogi]

There is a difference between bread that is soggy because of water and bread that is soggy because of gravy.

[@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.

[@-Zegop-]

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.

Welcome to Washington State

[@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.

[@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.

@@UrbanistBlooms Hopefully those people take it with them but I doubt it...I mean most probably do but there'll be a few who won't.

I can't believe he was able to visit such exotic and amazing places, that explains why it took so long for the next video

[@quinchienpro-prietaire7409]

Just love the takes where you throw the packaging away ; cause it’s all about you

[@harryathornton4463]

People say this on every video, but Ian's editing in this video is incredible! A definite new favourite for me of the brutalfoods series :)

[@LIMPGUITAR]

Dude Ian your one of my favorite KZbinrs, I know you will probably never see this but, keep up the good work my dude! :D

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

[@impro2454]

Ian, what a treasure your videos are. Just when I think you can't get any better you step it up a notch! The callbacks, the casual litter, the epic hello fresh ad, its all incredible. Amazing work, sir. You are a true master of your art.

[@joshlarison8306]

Your hard work on this shows! Best food video

[@thawhiteazn]

Those freeze-dried meals really are pretty great when you’re out camping/hiking. In terms of just decent tasting food that is super lightweight for the amount of calories it provides they can’t be beat. Also so simple to prepare.

[@maddieb.4282]

But they’re extremely expensive for the calories as well lol. Not really an affordable option esp if you’re backpacking for multiple days

[@Carl_Brutananadilewski]

@@maddieb.4282then by all means eat bugs. Never once have I though “wow I won’t be around food readily and could actually starve, still better save that $20”.

[@zozocecp]

@@Carl_Brutananadilewski Well that was unnecessarily aggressive and pathetic. Btw you can dehydrate your own food.

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

Your videos always makes my day better ❤️

[@Octokaizer]

Another great video. 10/10 would watch again.

[@uhohkittykitty]

Is it weird that I'm always just as pumped for the off the wall Hello Fresh adds as I am the rest of the video? Absolutely flawless advertisements tbh

[@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

the unhinged editing is what drew me in this series time and time again these videos is just gushing with personality and style
