Food Module | Urban Bug Out Bag | Version 3.0

[@lsmith992]

You're videos are extremely well thought out and organised. Thank you for all the work and care you out into them and I really appreciate them.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

You are very welcome! Thank you so much for watching and commenting.

[@flamingballzonice]

I'd add a zip-lock bag full of oatmeal and a bag of rice. They're both quite simple to cook, real healthy, and fills you up without much else. Also rice can last pretty much forever if you keep it in the right conditions.

[@joebetts1515]

Apple sauce in a tube, I love it! Really helpful and very well thought through! Very good!

[@tom_olofsson]

I have said it before... I like your color code modular system. Beats the printed labels of the past.

[@wjf213]

Good video. I have about the same theory as you do, but I also add in a half cup of uncooked rice for each meal to extend it and add some extra calories. I always find that those meals are okay, but never enough for someone who's REALLY working out in the bush or worse, a survival situation. Even if I don't use the rice in a meal, a pack some sugar and cinnamon and mix that with the cooked rice for a late night snack which is pretty good in my book. Water is not a problem for me as I'm in Louisiana and water is everywhere. I also add in some suckers. I got into that habit in the service when out on patrols. Keep up the great work.

[@timlipinski2571]

Related to food is your need for "Hot Water" ! Yes, hot water for tea, but add cinnamon, cloves or honey. Also for drink, hot cocoa or apple cider in powder form. For food for first meal hot cereal with granulated brown sugar (for sweetness and taste). And for hot water you need a stove to help save the forest ! A good wood stove is the Emberlit Titanium UL stove (;reviewed by Nutnfancy) and a wood stove will use one half the fuel of a open campfire (and half the time look for fuel). The small light stove means a small fire that will need only a small light duty survival knife like the SOG Seal Strike tactical survival knife. And for tinder to start the small fire, the multi-purpose Pencil Sharpener (also for people who have a government that do not think you are adult enough for a knife). Thank you for another great video ! tjl

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+Tim Lipinski Another great comment filled with lots of info! I'll be featuring my Cooking Module soon. I will look into supplementing some of the hot beverages you mentioned.

[@CanadianPrepper]

Great video as usual! So well organized and thought out, the only thing I would like to see is more attention to micro/ macro nutrient needs, in addition to calories. There is often a trade off between calories and taste of course and generally your strategy is one I agree with i.e. hot meals, way to go on smoked salmon, will be adding that to my upcoming food project we discussed months ago! My upcoming project will have some ideas on condensed calorie sources. Stay tuned!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+Canadian Prepper I'd love to see your deep dive into micro/macro nutrition needs! You are definitely more of the authority figure in this realm, CP. I'm still trying to avoid "Dad Bod". :)

[@JayP-44]

Discovered and subscribed recently. Thanks for sharing your organization skills. The module system is just what I was looking for. So smart!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Thank you for subscribing!

[@clinteastwood8024]

Really good ideal,I really like the mountain house foods.

[@gerryf7015]

Cliff, one item I would suggest adding are some electrolyte (potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, etc.) packets. They are usually water soluble and help restore critical electrolytes that help when you are stressed or exerting energy. Help keep the brain sharp. Some suggestions Oxylent by Vitalah, Power Pak by Trace Minerals Research, Cerasport and Cytomax.

[@TheDragonLady]

I loved the setup u got. and eating what u like and no what u like, that's so important.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+The Dragon Lady I agree. In an emergency, things will be stressful as is. No need to make it more stressful with crappy food.

[@TheDragonLady]

+TheUrbanPrepper yep! I like the simple chef boy and campells. easy pull lids lol ;)

[@genaow]

Simple and to the point. Another great video. Just waiting for a Black Friday sale on the mountain house lol. Thanks

[@texasdirtdart6432]

Diggin' the videos. I really like your "rules of thumb" approach (i.e. rule of three, 10 c's, etc.) and now your idea of grab and go food which speaks to priorities of work which is one of the tenets of prepping imo. Can't wait for the next installment.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+Texas Dirtdart I'm glad you are enjoying this series! It's certainly fun to make. I'm trying to ensure that I am being thorough with these videos and my approach.

[@southpawbushcraft7522]

Great choices! Love the smoked salmon idea I use those flavored tuna packets but now I want to put some of the smoked salmon in too. Thanks for sharing! ~Dawn

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+SouthPaw Bushcraft Definitely include some smoked salmon! I think it tastes the best out of all non perishable meats for long term food storage and doesn't require cooking.

[@TurtleBushcraft]

Very good idea with quick food the first day. like the color system to thanks for sharing atb john

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+Turtle Bushcraft Thanks for watching! The color system really helps with my organization.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

I checked out the eBags after watching your last video. Bought some for travel. Great color selection and price. Thanks!

[@nordicbritprepper]

Another great video dude. Didn't know about the smoked salmon shelf life and i love Salmon. So that is something i will have to look into now. Always great nuggets of info and little gems to be found in your videos. Keep it up! Rob

[@ericosnes9371]

Agree heartily with the comments about including food you know and like. Thought I'd try out the Tanka jerky. Glad I did! One flavor was great; another didn't sit right at all. So I'll keep testing different brands. Great advice!

[@rayserrato9519]

Another great video. Really looking forward to the final release of your bag.

[@sparky0288]

I didn't see anything for the trash, you might want a large ziploc bag for trash, that way you pack stays clean..

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+sparky0288 I was going to include that in more of a Sanitation Sub-Module, but I like your idea better. It would be good to have this in the module that it would be used for. I'll add a few ziplocks tonight and it will be included in the final version. Thanks!

[@robertreynolds2726]

Another helpful video. I really like the organization you use.

[@d.kennedy7627]

Always interesting videos. Thanks.

[@ericosnes9371]

Oh! And no more SBUX Via Instant? They're a major staple in my bags and I've had to use them on several occasions (like when I ran out of beans!). Saved my morning.

[@NorwegianWoods]

That is a well though out piece of your kit. Thanks for sharing :) - Martin

[@luisagreen9394]

color code is a good idea. Making this part of the calendar projects, need to do that. We get busy so putting it on a calendar helps me. Thank you , great vid

[@themurderbotfeed7688]

Nice set up! I have never seen that kind of smoked salmon in my area and its a pity because salmon is my favorite fish. Oh well, I do have herring and stuff like that in pouches like yours so its fairly similar. Awesome vid. =)

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+Carmen Cruz The PDF includes a link to the Chicken of the Sea version of smoked salmon, which I feel works perfect for a BOB. I like that you can eat it right out of the package. I prefer the taste and consistency to tuna out of the package.

[@thomasnugent7602]

Very good ideas. Thank you very much

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

You are very welcome, Thomas.

[@jhosk]

Try Mountain house breakfast hash, it's my favorite

[@Jetblast02]

Thanks for the very helpful video.

[@05generic]

Error! The last link (Tanka bars) takes you to Kind bars instead.

[@ozzmann3217]

I haven’t seen it yet but do you have a meat procurement module? Ie fishing hunting and trapping for any longer term situation? I got the idea for Dave Canterbury’s video and I have added a lot of the smaller meat procurement items frog gig sniper veil for a net and clothing, hand fishing kit, sling shot bow, and steel rat traps for small game and snare cables.... I’d like to see your take on something like this that can fit in your longer term kit

[@boxerdad214]

Great ideas.

[@caseyanderson4499]

Tip: you can pick up cheap zip bags at Walmart or dollar store to help organize your preps.

[@captivatingstray]

You may have covered this before, but how do you keep track of dates? Do you make sure all items are good until the next January, or do you keep a spreadsheet, or...? Just eyeing the salmon, looks like it's close to going out.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+captivatingstray I usually just buy items that have at least a 18 month shelf life and then rotate them out at the beginning of each year. Kind of like "Spring Cleaning for Preppers". You're right. The salmon is just about ready to be replaced. I may film me eating it to see how well it lasted in storage.

[@captivatingstray]

+TheUrbanPrepper That would be interesting. I'm a bit of a newbie prepper, kind of a reaction to living alone for the first time. I'm working on food at the moment, both just at home and for the beginning stages of a to-go sort of bag. It makes you think differently about a lot of parts of life, that's for sure. In any case, your videos have definitely become my favorite. You're very methodical and thorough, as well as innovative in a lot of ways. So many of these other videos seem to blur together. So... thanks!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+captivatingstray That's great to hear! Thank you for the kind words. Please don't hesitate to contract me via PM if you have any specific questions to help with your prepping journey! ~Cliff

[@Auchioane]

Are you storing that salmon at room temp? I didn't think fish could last 5 years stored at room temp even if it is smoked. I noticed that its best before date comes up in 2 months. Please let us know how it tastes after 5 years! Would be interested in adding this to my emergency food stores :).

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+Auchioane I'm definitely planning on doing that. From what I have seen, Salmon has an incredibly long shelf life at room temperature. I'll keep you posted!

[@patrickgrogg607]

Do each in your family carry their own food? If you had to split what you have with 4 people then it would not last long. Great job. Love your videos.

[@sweimar58]

My advice would be to also add a few ounces of olive oil for those active days you might need additional calories to burn.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+sweimar58 Good tip! I had that in my previous BOB but left it out in this video. I'll add it back.

[@Project_Tribe]

Just something to note about those kind bars; I'm an Army ROTC cadet and we are told not to eat those kind bars because they have something in them that will make us fail our drug tests. Not sure what it is exactly, just good to keep in mind.

[@Jaybird196]

Probably, poppy seeds. They can give a false-positive for opiates.

[@steelhammeroutdoors5776]

What module's up next?? And love the channel, big fan

[@christopherbiegel9553]

You might add a bottle of multivitamins. If you take them normally you could just swap out the bottle in the BOB when you need to get a new bottle for general use.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+Christopher Biegel Good thinking! As part of my First Aid Module, I have a Pharmacy Sub Module that I can leverage your idea on.

[@thndrpnts]

Poop jokes are always appreciated. What's the total calorie availability here? That's if you happen to have that info readily available--it's not mentioned in the PDF, and I'm too lazy to do the math myself right now. Lol.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+Whitfield Parham I didn't plan that poop joke. It just came out (no pun intended). Love your idea of including the total calorie availability. I'll get that added to the PDF tonight. Thanks!

[@thndrpnts]

TheUrbanPrepper​ Does your wife carry a similar food load? And what about your two children--does Kid Prepper carry his own kit?

[@panpiper]

+Whitfield Parham I'm guessing between 6-7000 calories. That's enough for three days without a performance drop (assuming activity), four if willing to be a bit hungry (or just sitting tight).

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+Whitfield Parham We all have slightly different variations. Mrs. UP has similar main meals but custom “Grab & Go” snacks. KP prefers Mac N Cheese for his main meals and also a custom Grab N Go with kid friendly snacks. His kit is fairly light weight. Mrs. UP’s is less than 25 pounds total.

[@mattwlane]

You should check out Generation UCAN. It's a powdered based supplement these is used primarily for long distance events but can also be used for hiking, etc. I've used it for several years including my last marathon where I consumed two doses before and two at the half way point (spiked with~40mg caffeine). That's less that 400 calories for running 26 miles. They also have snack bars. The main objective of UCAN is to stabilize your blood sugar and allow you to burn fat. There could be a lot of uses for UCAN in a bug out situation.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+Matt Lane I'll look into it. Thanks! Any word on the shelf life?

[@mattwlane]

+TheUrbanPrepper 2 years on the powders, 1 year on the bars from the time we receive them at our warehouse. So for the customer it's usually 18-24 months on powder (both hydrate and superstarch) and 8-12 months on bars from the time you get it. Best by date should also be printed on the packaging. There is a good cyber Monday deal going on right now. PM me and I can get you another 5% off on top.

[@mattwlane]

+Matt Lane That came right from the UCAN company.

[@dutchcourage7312]

Besides this killing the romance of rice & beans (if there ever was any), there is nothing much to say about these modules. I like your reasoning behind your choices (even if the results for me would more then likely vary from yours). One thing I would still advice is to add some bouillon-cubes ('instant soup'). Seeing staying outside is more then likely cold, so it's nice to have something warm to drink in the evening (saves the tea for the coffee moments)), it also replenishes salts you may have lost due to extra sweating, and for me personally I find soup/bouillon comforting as well (thought this last point may be a largely personal association) ... then again, if you added some to your H2go bag (v2) you would obviously already have them, and addition to the bug out bag isn't needed... ...So yeah, a smaller decent rotation time bag of quick snacks, and a longer rotation time larger bag of 6 (3x 2 meals a day) meals containing food one is actually accustomed to (or is at least tried and taste tested). Good reasoning :) ... one thing though, your plan A likely being a Bug IN scenario, would make your plan B a 'relocate' plan (to where ever you can 'again' safely Bug IN), is the 3days supplies lasting you long enough to get to that location on foot ? (seeing that if you go by car you can obviously also grab your 72h thermos bag 'picnic' food supplies, and some of those 3 or 5 gallon water containers) ... Which's obviously reasoning with the assumption that a 'bug out bag' is to get from where ever that bag is stored (likely home) to your 'bug out location' on foot, where said bug out location has more supplies. In which case your bug out bag needs to support you for said travel (and the time there of). As opposed to viewing the bug out bag as a means to survive for 72h, hoping for emergency services to fly in on rainbows riding magical unicorns spreading manna all over the emergency area, after those 72h ... which isn't necessarily a bad plan, as that is likely to be the case in most local and regional emergency's (or at least they will try to do so, don't count on manna though), but it is good to determine what purpose the bag serves, so you know on what for you can rely on it... (this obviously also for any other viewers reading this comment)

[@johnnysisk9494]

I would like to see some things that are useful for those of us that are salt sensitive.

[@christianstiltner1104]

...Google is your best friend.

[@werlost]

Mountain house has some flavors that are lower sodium. I got a few years ago when my dad was still alive because he had high cholesterol and high blood pressure and i lived with him at the time.

[@1jfmurray]

No sos bars, guess I can't blame you, they are pretty nasty.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+Rico La Haha.... I almost included it, but I decided just to go with "good" food. :)

[@gabrieleciciriello6447]

hurray for italian words pronounced by foreigners! xD

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+Gabriele Ciciriello Haha.... :)

[@NeoB-Lac]

love it!!

[@BearClawAK47]

I think it would really help if you could say "module" a few more times.

[@MrTryAnotherOne]

What's the planned total weight of your Bug Out Bag 3.0?

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+MrTryAnotherOne I'm hoping for 30-35 lbs (13.6-15.8 kg). At the end of the modules deep dives, I may need to "make weight" and remove some of the heavier items.

[@rayserrato9519]

+TheUrbanPrepper Is that with water included? If so how much? Thanks:)

[@MrTryAnotherOne]

You still have to carry it. ;-)

[@rayserrato9519]

+MrTryAnotherOne I was going to say there should be both weights included in any BOB/GHB video. You have to carry the weight of consumables in the start of an emergency situation. I think base weight and actual weight should always be included.

[@tomstephenson7387]

take the halls out, they will melt and ruin the module

[@rickywyatt1]

good as always, maybe mention '3 weeks' with no food depends on your health at the time.

[@Surfer8652]

I'm a huge caffeine addict, so I include some No-Doz caffeine pills in mine. Compact, easy to carry, quick, powerful, and easy to share/trade.

[@johnlord8337]

As part of the many comments spread across YT, having a 72 hour bug is great. Yet, I have the strong suggestion to everybody (and that does mean everybody !, with my govt/mil classified consulting business ... and other events happening in this nation and around the world ...) ... it is .... 72 bug for each person of the family. Yet, while having a potential food cache inside one's residency, I strongly mention having multiple hides and bugs within a 20 square mile area (20 mile perimeter radius). Buried caches inside tupperware/rubbermaid containers, or even better porcelain (with heavy lid) pottery, (pickling barrels), 5 gallon, 10G, 12G. Decentralized food caches that provide you AT LEAST 3 weeks of edibles. WHY? You may bug in, you may but out, try to get back home, or beat feet from the outback to home. Why 3+ weeks food in your cache network? 3 weeks to final death by starvation. Yes, but why? If you have a city location, you have everybody else going rats, lemmings, mobs, marauders, and zombies. In those 3 weeks, they will eat up everything they can pillage, and then no food, they will feed upon themselves, or they will move to new territories, like an expanding army ant ex-invasion. So, if you are bug in, those bug ins must be 3+ weeks food (if you can protect it, eat it, ... and not lose it). Those are the most dangerous of times. 3+ weeks. Then you will have barren land of food, fuel, water, ... and only the sick, hurt, dying, and dead. You are not to be a number in those categories. Now with the rest of the marauders and zombies still around or having eaten an expanding area of destruction and food searching, with a bug in, all those outward lands of 20 mile perimeter will be devastated and nobody will want to return to a scorched land of destruction, no food, no fuel, and no water. This is your "Eden." You are more safe in those 20 mile perimeter lands than anybody else, if you play your cards right. With your decentralized hideys and bugs, you have your food, fuel, water, seeds, mobile garden plots (and hopefully you are in spring through summer). With other comments to YT Bristol Prepper (pls go see), your hides, bugs, and caches need to be strategically located. And easily moved from spot to spot. Stealth camping, stealth movement, stealth survival. All the hows and whys of strategic locations revolve around those 20 square miles of food sources, water, and fuel. When you have overlapping forests, hides, bugs, water source (pond, lake, creek, ...) and potential fuel sources (black out energy conditions, so no pumping of gas stations for others) you have your overlapping criteria (venn diagram on your maps) for hides and bugs for the greatest survival. Three plus weeks of food, and the other refugees moving ahead of you, they will be the fighters, marauders to others protecting their resources against the intruders. Gun fights, physical fights, killing, eating, canibaalism (yes, ...!) "population control" (pruning) and the Darwin Awards (extinction) for the killed and non-surviving, leaves a territory that is far more easily controlled and reconned (with a MAG, mutual assurance group), that wandering with the huddled masses. 72 bug out bags. Dollar store small jars of PB or PBJ, small honey, tomato paste, coffee/tea crystals put into ziplocks, any small packets of restaurant style salt, pepper, chili sauce, hot sauce, sweet sour sauce, mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, honey, cane sugar/white sugar packets (no sugar substitutes!), horseradish, hot mustard, pickle relish, soy sauce, Starbucks' agave sugar syrup, pizza parmesan cheese packets, pizza chili flakes, .... Small can sweetened condensed milk. Self made, blender cheese powder. 1 pound bag of rice, beans, lentils, peas (1 pound feeds meal to 10 people). Vegetable dried chips, ... veggetti spaghetti noodle maker for veg roots and squash/pumpkin. Any dried/powdered veg/herbs for veg smoothies. VITAMINS/MINERALS! dried soup mixes, dried powder gravy mixes, coconut oil (take 2 teaspoons helps loose weight as body processes these healthy fats, slows down metabolism, antibiotic food/ointment like honey), 2# jugs of mixed nuts, 2# jugs of dried fruit mix all put into ziplocks, dried berries/cranberries, hard candies, brick chocolate, reese's PB/chocolate pieces or Butterfingers (PB/chocolate), ....mylar packets or cans of salmon (oily), mackerel (oily) (these have the highest calories of all foods, above beef, chicken, and tuna, ... Campbell soups, Rice a Roni, Pasta a Roni, Potato helper, hanburger helper, rice helper, pasta helper, even other arabic rice type products !!!). Mac/cheese next best. Dollar store shows a mylar packet of cheese sauce (buy!) or a small bottle/can of cheese whiz. Slim jim jerky sticks, and small mylar packets of cheese Tyvek 3x3 ft film (1.85 ounce weight) with grommets at hemmed and seamed corners (4 upright stakes, put grommets on stakes, pour in unclean water, becomes open air gravity fed tyvek water filter (latest research 0.5 - 1.0 micron olefin fiberweave housewrap removes 99.99+ % particulates and bugs). Six flattened/rolled up clear thin plastic water drink bottles (2 bottles per each meal time. drink and cook, while others getting next volume filtered water then sterilization). 3x3 foot reflective mylar (ground reflector/cat hole solar oven UV irradiation for water purification, or used as heat reflective surface with fire and bottle or metalcontainer for boiling sterilization. Tyvek postal envelop duct taped seams gravity fed small hanging water filter bag, boil in/boilable ziplock bags (can even be used inside bare JetBoil without melting!) and boil up water (using hot rocks or setting near boilable temp fire/coals , and any/all cooked foods inside metal container. 72 bug bag, but even more so hideys and bugs for 3+ weeks already cached across the landscape .....

[@texhenge9462]

+John Lord ... you're talking about a big kid's picnic in a world of killers. They will take everything, respect nothing. Chaos and death. Africa without European and American support. Skip the trash bags. You need an old missile silo and the balls and buds to run it. Life is short. May I suggest you vote wisely and hopefully all this SHTF etc will be unnecessary. Think of the most dangerous people alive losing all traces of civilized humanity. Last one alive is the loser, maybe. Eat your steak well done.

[@johnlord8337]

Then maybe I am a big boy! And there will be no trolls near me, including post-SHTF wannabe friends on my grub. As others who have worked the Mideast, "Glass" on "sheets" needs a "pesticide application." But, in your/everybody's voting (majority bogus voting on the wrong side of history), all we have is boys in our capitol, when we need real men, to make tough decisions. McArthur was "accurate" about Korea and ending up solving the China problem. Patton was "accurate" about Germany and ending up solving the Russia problem. Truman was only "right." We are still fighting WW I. All events in between are just little battles here and there. Getting back to the original problem (Serbian muslim killing the Austro-Hapsburg Archduke) is just as much the same as the Paris, Moscow, Tel Aviv, Beirut, Munich, BenGhazi, et al attacks. Taking a opposition nation back to the Stone Age, when they want to have nukes and put everybody else back to quarks, is a valid justification for pre-emptive strikes, without mercy or grace. Now, there is an exposed fatwa, nukes are warranted against the opposition, enemies of the faith, wipe them from the planet. So as they have said, so shall it be unto them. 26 and 82, and 92 and 84, are problem solvers.

[@tom_olofsson]

I like to avoid aeromatic foods. Smoked foods, although tasty, smell wonderful to predators of all shapes and sizes. Also, it is good to avoid the smell of cooking. This argues well for MountainHouse since there is nobreal cooking going on. I avoid MountainHouse because wheat makes me sick. Some other brands are gluten free.

[@00LTCharles00]

+Tom Olofsson Predators of all shapes and sizes are edible, as well. The human is the deadliest predator - these lesser predators are your prey.

[@sidorgan969]

I would reccomend salt as your body needs it! just go to mc donalds or kfc and take some small packets. they are very small and weight nothing!

[@DanielSultana]

+Sid Organ unnecessary, pretty much all preserved food contains salt

[@sidorgan969]

Guess so but when you run out...

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+Sid Organ As Daniel mentioned, I figured that the MH has plenty of salt included. That said, I do include a small vial of salt and pepper in my Cooking Module (future video), just in case.

[@NeoB-Lac]

sub module lol!!!!

[@stubbenno1]

But what do the rest of the family eat? Guess it might just be you and the wife have a bug out bag... Looks good otherwise I think :)

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+Daniel Andersson I include a Food Module in each of their kits. I'll film those once mine is documented here on KZbin.

[@Iowarail]

I carry stuff that makes squirrel, rabbit, pigeon or other mammals and fish taste better.

[@clarkwhite998]

You know when you say a word so much it doesn't sound like a real word? Well, module.

[@Cain0078]

Öh... är du stressad? Eh... are you stressed?

[@Mikee713]

Anyone would be willing to eat just about anything edible when you have no other option.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+Mikee I agree. In the meantime, while I do have other options, I try to include food that I enjoy.

[@magi1969]

Bullet Meals. I always keep one bar in my EDC backback. www.bulletmeal.com/ That's really the best Ready-to-Eat Meals you can have. I like to eat them cold, but they say they can be warmed, so I guess that's possible as well. The taste is rather odd, so perhaps it's not for fine dining, and not quite the same as some MRE stuff, but these things are ultimately COMPACT, and I have always found them immediately fulfilling. The taste is unforgettable when you're hungry. I have usually had them as hiking food when I'm too tired to cook anything warm, and sometimes as snack when I haven't had time to eat. They are the ultimate survival food, whether surviving a hard day at work, hard day hiking, or hard day fighting whatever you're fighting. Sorry for the almost advertisement, but I really appreciate the stuff (though the taste is a bit survivalist).

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+Marko Grönroos Dude, these look awesome! I would definitely like to try these out. I’ll place an order. Do you happen to know the shelf life? I am not seeing anything on their website. I’ll be sure to keep you posted on these. Thanks for the comment!

[@dutchcourage7312]

+TheUrbanPrepper Care doing a 72h challenge on these, so we can experience the 'try these out' along side you. :)

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

Watch them carbs dood. Diabeters.

[@kittensugars]

I can't help but think..... that you do not really expect anything to go down....and if you do - you expect it to last no longer than a few days.....A few days of delightfully sorting, organizing and using your beautifully color coded supplies.... and then what? return home to life & job? ~Those who have squalling children in tow will be screwed....no matter how well prepped they are. ~After a couple of weeks all of your meticulous organization will be haphazardly tossed, lost, and bloodstained, (no room for OCD while surviving) and those $7 to $10 meal bags will be gone, and by the way - there will be no place to "throw the empty packaging away". ~You included no seeds. so you don't plan to relocate permanently or grow food.... Perhaps I've missed something....OR perhaps I've seen too much. Anyway....best of luck.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

+kittensugars My bug out bag is designed as a 72-hour emergency supplies kit, that might be able to be stretched out to a handful days past the initial 72 hours. What you are describing seems more like an INCH bag (I’m Never Coming Home) with regard to seeds for permanent relocation and not returning to a job. I have included a trash bag and ziplock bags in the Sanitation Sub Module of my Hygiene Module. The OCD organization is not intended to be meaningful in a couple of weeks after an emergency. It’s main intent is to assist in the first 24 hours when stress will most likely be highest and you’ll want swift location of certain supplies. No comment regarding parents being screwed if they have children in tow. I have appreciated all of your comments over the past year and a half in the various videos that I have done. I hope that you still will enjoy some of my other videos that are non-BOB related, such as EDC kits and product reviews. It seems like you may have “seen too much” from my channel and that our preparedness philosophies might be vastly different. All the best. ~Cliff

[@deadbeatbillionaires]

+TheUrbanPrepper Damn! that was a Grand Slam reply.
