Homemade C-Ration from Buc-ee's

[@RicG.]

I, for one, very much appreciate your editing the videos to avoid the chewing/crunching/swallowing sounds, and also because I know editing takes a lot more time to produce the content. Thanks!

[@dadbudgetadventures]

You’re welcome. I’d like to say it’s just for you guys but it’s for me too so I don’t have to see it! 😂

[@Icebearhaswares]

Yes, also this! I said right before he addressed it, “man I’m so glad he edits eating sounds out!” ❤

[@racheladams5299]

I am 67 years old and enjoy watching your videos. In high school our cafeteria serves peanut butter sandwiches with chili. Delicious 😋

[@dadbudgetadventures]

Would never have imagined a school cafeteria serving that!

[@JAB671]

When I was in elementary school, back in the late 1970s, our lunch ladies actually still cooked. They made a vegetable beef soup that I loved even though vegetable beef wasn't always high on my list, in general. We would get peanut butter sandwiches with that along with a 'stick' of Cheddar cheese that was obviously cut off of a larger block. Not Velveeta type processed cheese food, though, but real, Cheddar cheese. Man, I am 52 and still remember how good a lunch that was! The stuff they called 'Chicken Chow Mein' - which was actually chicken casserole with crunchy chow mein noodles on top instead of stuffing, was also delicious. Strange to think I am.probably older, now, than a lot of those ladies were, then.

[@dadbudgetadventures]

Some great memories!

[@michaelconrad7301]

Also a Pringle's fan, and the small can means you can't get your hand stuck too far inside... And one of my favorite writers, sci-fi author Gene Wolfe, designed the machine that makes them when he was an engineer for Proctor-Gamble. I lived off Pringles when I was helping with disaster relief in New York and there were huge cases of them for our use in our command post.

[@dadbudgetadventures]

They are kind of the perfect apocalypse treat. Better than Twinkies.

[@SethCohn23]

TIL the scifi connecrion to pringles

[@stevenrogers4832]

Brother, Thanks for the vid. We use Wolf Brand Chili, with cut up wieners, fresh onion, and fresh jalapeno cut up in it, perfect camp meal. Best served with tortillas used as a spoon. Washed down with boiled camp coffee. We have used your concept of MREs, and do enjoy them. Recently found Bumblebee Snacks at Dollar Tree, I was completely surprised at how good they tasted. That being said, we have now ordered from Amazon a complete selection of their products, both boxed, and pouches. Not bad. We were product snobs until we found your channel, Thank you for instructing your followers, me included, to step out of our comfort zones try new things, have fun, and most of all find a new way of looking at life. See you on the trail.

[@dadbudgetadventures]

Thank you so much. Comments like this keep me going!

[@nuclearchef-san8304]

Hi,DBA. Checking in from Tokyo,Japan, as you know we have many natural disasters here, frequent earthquakes,volcanic eruptions,typhoons(hurricanes),landslides,etc. and all the things that go along with that. We are a country that takes disaster precautions seriously. We have all kind of prepared foods ,canned,and soo many packages of civilian type Mre,among other quick prepare type foods/packaging. I’ve been recommending your channel too my family,friends,coworkers, soo they can get even more ideas about their emergency preparedness. I also appreciate the subtitles/captions as well ,while I’m fluent in English,others are not so need to read it in your captions too understand. Thanks again for all the wonderful ideas!

[@dadbudgetadventures]

Thank you for that. It’s amazing to think I’m having an impact on someone that far away and that it might help someone in a genuine disaster.

[@NeighborofKT]

Thank you for editing. Watching people chew, watching people chop veggies, watching people talk about background noise (that I usually don't even hear) wastes my time, imo. You do a good job.

[@dadbudgetadventures]

Thank you so much

[@Swrqltr]

Your videos have changed how I prepare my other families hurricane boxes. We come from a long line of campers and know how to cook over open fire. I used to put together ingredients to prepare meals over a cook stove. I recently found out my adult children and grandchildren are not that interested in cooking. I will be making meal bags for each and have purchased small rocket stoves and small cooking containers if they decide to warm up the food. Thank you so much

[@madtownangler]

Only use the rocket stoves to heat up and see if your on a hunting/camping trip. They are hard to clean sometimes.

[@dadbudgetadventures]

I’m honored to hear that. It’s amazing to know that I have held some kind of influence in how someone prepares for disaster and the outdoors!

[@stevansikes8477]

Add in beer also as a walking around snack and beverage.

[@skittlemenow]

A stumbling around snack.

[@NewHampshireJack]

We recently found a shop the size of a 7-11 near our Philippine home base. The difference is, they sell a great line of products at deep discounts. We found German beer in cans actually cheaper than beer produced at local Philippine brewers. Yes, it was good, I taste tested it. While it was a great find, we will not be placing any in our young troops school emergency kits. For home use only!

[@dadbudgetadventures]

Good morning DBA, Another great video, keep em coming. My wife and I have never been to a Buc-ee's, but they are opening a new Buc-ee's in Smiths Grove, KY, 20 minutes from our home, so we plan to go check it out. I believe it opens on June 12, 2024. Have a great weekend. JT

We recently learned that S&R Membership will soon open their newest store a short distance down the road from our Philippine subdivision. The new location is off Rt 2, that is the General Douglas MacArthur national highway and will be easy to find and access. I opened the S&R online shopping site and was pleased to learn they will be offering many US based items we have had great difficulty finding if we can locate them at all since the Covid 19 lockdowns. Ravioli cold from the can may not be your top choice but nobody will die from it! Our troops 72 hour school emergency kit completion and the practices sessions with their kits will be accomplished over two weeks in June. Thank you for all that you do, we find great inspiration from this chanel.

Hello again, my friend. Immediately after this video ended, I tried to find the closest Buc-ees to me, here in Michigan, but like so many special things in this country, it is mainly in the south, and the nearest one to me is 8 hours away. Was really hoping to try that chocolate peanut butter thingy. It is right up my alley. Another excellent video, as usual. I truly love your friendliness and ability to communicate. As I have told you before, I bet you would be a great person to know in real life. I have been wanting to give you a big thank you for your service to this country. It is most appreciated. Suggestion: Pilot Truck Stops. Take care for now, and thanks again

[@dadbudgetadventures]

Thank you so much. I truly appreciate your kind words and support. Don’t feel too bad my nearest Buc-ees is six hours away and I am in the south. We will be getting one just across the county line in the next couple years though so we are excited about that.

[@MrAWL94]

I just started following your content yesterday because you popped on my home page as a suggested video and so far I love your content and presentation style. Also, I found it interesting that you are close to where I live and it's nice to have a KZbinr who is not from Texas, New York, or Los Angeles to follow and support

[@dadbudgetadventures]

Well I’m glad you’re here and I appreciate the kind words and support.

[@willieeverett8978]

Personally I would perfectly fine if you revisited stores multiple times. They way I look at it is every time I go to a store I can pick up a MRE, this spreads the cost out. This also allows for trying items that maybe didn't make the cut before. I look forward to the videos every week. I just wish there was a printable list every video so I could remember by the time I get to the particular store.

[@dadbudgetadventures]

I will be doing just that. As I find new products I will continue to return for more stuff.

I don't remember chili being in C-Rations, but it would have been a no brainer. You should have crushed up some Pringles and mixed them in with the chili.

Spicy Southwest Snack Mix is one of my favorite snack mixes. I went to my local Dollar General Store earlier in the week for a quick snack and a few other things. I found a Mexican Street Corn Snack Mix. The brand is Three Amigos Elote Mexian Street Corn. I bought a bag to try. This snack mix is great. I went back to Dollar General the next day and bought three more bags. They are also found at the Dollar Tree as well in a smaller package. Great video this morning.

Okay DBA!!! This was a great Buc-ee’s recovery! I was one who felt that the Mr. Fish original fell short and came off as more of a gag, regardless of all this content being simply for entertainment anyway! I do have great additional news about this particular episode!!!…..My wife and I spend our mornings having coffee in bed, competitively playing Wordle, etc… then at some point we surf our phones, share funny memes and social media content. Well this morning, I saw this new DBA episode and began to watch…..I respectfully turned the volume down, so my wife can surf her phone without me drowning her out as I watched. My wife would not be one to search out this type of content specifically. About the halfway point, my wife asked if I could turn the volume up as she simultaneously leaned over to also watch. I said, I wasn’t sure if she would really dig this homemade MRE/C-Rations content……she responded by saying I really enjoy this man’s voice, his ability to gain her attention and be so entertaining!!! I proceeded to turn up the volume and we continued to watch the remainder of this episode along with taking her down memory lane of the Whole Foods episode to its entirety! You had me at Day 1 and NOW, my wife is a fan!!!! This made my day….Thanks buddy! 🤟🏼❤️

Hi DBA. As I am in the UK I don't really know many of your shops/stores, however I have heard of Sharp Shopper, a discount store, but can't remember where it is located, I think it might be Pennsylvania. You could try doing an MRE there, but you may have to break your rule about the shelf life, as I think a lot of their stock is short coded, but it could be fun as a slightly different video. I can't wait to see another couples video with you and your lovely wife, you worked so well together in the last one. Much love and respect from me Jo, here in the South East of England. xx

I found that Campbells and Great Value canned chili are the most visually appealing to me. Growing up, mom always served chili on a bed of mashed potatoes with butter bread. I was an adult when I discovered that this is not how most people have chili. I have "made" canned chili with instant mashed potatoes for a quick taste of my childhood.

Just wondering on the particular stove you used to heat the chili . . . could you use a single charcoal briquette? Or two? Just noodling around with the idea to keep costs down, charcoal is inexpensive compared to the fuel tablets. Also, I like when you do product reviews "in the wild." Tell Mr. Fish I said, "Hey!"

If you haven't been to Lidl, its basically a better version of Aldi. The one I hit yesterday had cans of Greek foods (actually made in Bulgaria, but that can be our secret) that would be great for an MRE. 9.8oz, pull tops. They were vegetarian as well so that could work for making a specialized MRE. The can I grabbed to try out was Green Beans in tomato sauce.

Very good work editing these videos. The content is really nice and fun to see your creativity on this type of topic. Something from normal grocery stores any local where you live. Would be good for a meal ready to eat. Instead of buying ready made things; use your dehydrator and or freeze dry food items for a camping trip or just in a pinch to eat and enjoy. The idea I am suggesting is to make each item not buying them. Which this would give a lot of flexibility in the things to put in an MRE it could for a single meal, 24 meal set and or a group or family type. I think this would really be fun to do. If you do it I hope it is fun and is a little easier than buying specific items because you can make the items and create good options and also you can create any types vegetarian or carnivore types or an in between combination of the two. But something that you could have as important is a healthy meal without excess sodium or excess sugar or alternatives to those. Natural sweeteners and seasonings in place of salt when seasoning the items you make. So a health oriented type of pre-prepared shelf stable freeze dried or vacuum sealed or any other type of idea to make the items shelf stable. Good luck I think it maybe a slight difficult but you have a lot of ability to be very creative. This idea wouldn’t discourage bought items you already have in your pantry too. Thank You, Steve

This channel is constantly learning and evolving. As I learn new approaches I test the waters to see what people want to watch and I introduce new ideas. So as long as people want to see it I’ll try just about anything.

Great video. The only problem is now I have an overwhelming urge to drive to a Bucee’s 😂

Did you make sure the coffee drink didn't have any dairy in it that would require refrigeration?

[@dadbudgetadventures]

It doesn’t have to be refrigerated until it’s open as far as I can tell.

[@MQTAful]

Yup, Buc-cee's is awesome!

Going along the lines of the Buckys thing, I have noticed that one of the other gas station chains has started having a lot of their own branded stuff and stocking pretty much everything. That is Casey’s. Maybe give them a shot?

[@dadbudgetadventures]

I love Casey’s! It’s another one I have to hit when traveling though so we will see if I can pull it off on a future road trip.
