“A well-fed man can forget his dinner, but a hungry man can't forget his appetite.” -Herman Melville

[@Platypus_Farts]

I read Moby Dick and didn't really love it. Read Typee and it's still one of my favorite books ever. Melville is a GOAT.

[@JohnMcGarity-hk7yc]

I've been sailing for 14yrs mostly solo in remote areas. I cant get the fancy stuff and probably out of my budget. But, my go to items are egg coated in vaseline, cabbage, potatoes, fresh garlic, and carrots cut, peeled and soaking in water. All these items last a long time and can be found in most villages. Fresh fruit can be challenging other than coconuts. I would like to try the sprout garden.

[@Adventureman_Dan]

That is a great list and great advice for any sailor to use!

Just put eggs in a jar of lime water. Lasts years.

Ok unrelated wouldn’t the lime in the egg water pickle the egg?

You are so spot on with electrolytes, a couple of years ago I crewed on my friends boat for about 3 months. Only drinking RO water, at a certain point I went ashore by myself and was thirsty so I bought a 1.5L bottle of mineral water and almost guzzled the whole thing down in one go. My body really needed those minerals. Personally I'd stock a bit more coffee and some sugar (sugar is used in many baking things). Also I'd have more flower and yeast just for baking fresh bread. And spam, spam can be made Ito so many easy to prepare dishes. Love your videos, keep em coming.

[@peoplez129]

One thing I love that is easy to carry is dried red beans and rice, which you can buy pre seasoned all in one package. It's a simple but delicious filling food that doesn't take up much space, easy to prepare by just boiling with some water, and can be either the main dish or the side dish that can pair with virtually any meat or vegetables.

[@stephenburnage7687]

A small pack of Himalayan or sea salt can provide the minerals

[@globetrotting2628]

Wow, you covered everything. Personally, I'd bring more canned chicken, tuna, and meat (dried salami, canned beef) overall because I only eat white fish, and sometimes crustaceans. I'd also bring flour, salt, sugar, and yeast to bake bread with. Mayo and pickles to make tartar sauce. Regular mayo w/siracha and sesame oil makes great sauce for spicy fish rolls. Ketchup, Worcestershire and horseradish to make cocktail sauce. Lots of canned veggies: greens, peas, corn, every kind of bean, spinach, potatoes, many that can be used with some mayo and spices to make pasta salads, etc. Jars of red bell peppers, olives, crackers, pickled relishes of different varieties, etc....I'm kind of a sauce and grazing type of person. Big meals make me tired so my provisions would be different from most. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your 100-day passage.

Just remember that "best before" is NOT the same as "expired" or "use before". Canned food, pasta, rice and condiments ect usually last for many, many years after the best before date.

[@jadejasmine315]

Note: thr date printed on the Pringle can is an expired date...i just tested your theory with some Pringles from June 2024, and they were nasty.

[@anhnguyenhoang210]

It's usually the expiration date for the containers themselves, not the food inside (unless it's a glass jar).

Powdered milk is expensive

[@UserMW14]

@@josephspruill1212 So is a sailboat, if you can afford that you probably can afford powdered milk

[@josephspruill1212]

@ actually, that’s not true at all. Everyone thinks it’s expensive but if you do the work yourself it’s not… I owed an expensive Lexus and ppl told me it would be expensive to maintain. That was a lie, I did all the work myself. Come to find out half the parts was Camry parts. It cost me the most to buy, but that was the cheapest car I ever had to maintain. 5 years later I sold it without turning a bolt on the thing, and I bought it used! My grandpa owned a sail boat and he was far from wealthy. Matter fact he didn’t leave anything for the grandkids cause he didn’t have anything left. Granny got the house etc. after that there was no money. You can say the boat took it all as a joke but again that’s not true. Now it does take work, that I will admit. But no more Than a house with a big yard that you have to mow and take care of. Or better yet, no more work than a garden… The only ones that I see complain about anything being expensive are the one that don’t know how to work on things cause they lack a mechanical mind or they just so wealthy they don’t have too. Either way I was a mechanic in the military. There isn’t an engine I can’t work on. I was a carpenter when I was growing up. There isn’t a house or sail boat I can’t build. I’ve actually thought about building it first, cause it would be well built for one, I know the builder! Ive helped a few of my friends restore a catamaran. I would love one of those things. It’s Almost like a pontoon boat with beds in the pontoons… now maybe for someone that has never lived near water and never been on a boat much less. Then it’s goin to be a ruff ride for them cause they haven’t got a clue…. I grew up on my grandpas sail boat. The sail boat they bought brand new for $53k That’s less than most houses unless you live in a shack. I’ve seen tiny homes cost more than that….. I was looking at a wrecked catamaran on an island where they store wrecked ships. Thought of taking a trip and see what I can come up with. That cat is worth 500k brand new. Yet, wrecked they want less than 100k. I’m retired from the military so I have my 401k still and I get paid every month for the rest of my life. I’ve already traveled the world on my monthly check and was able to save at the same time. You know if I was the average Joe working at McDonald’s then maybe I could see where you get your ideas from.

[@josephspruill1212]

@ far as the powdered milk goes it’s not worth it’s value. I’ve hike the AT trail and the cdt trail. Powdered anything is heavy, and you don’t want heavy. I wouldn’t have got all those jars like he has. I wouldnt have got the chicken in a can either when you can get it in a bag. So with that said I would pack light stuff. I can eat in style when I come to shore….. It’s what I did while hiking. I mean fish and sprouts isn’t the most luxurious meal if you ask me. No matter how good it taste.I would eat to survive on the hikes and when I came to town I would eat the locals food, and restock! I would do the same sailing. I would wait to port to eat good! I learn to land nav by the stars, so I know I can sail too…. You know I’ve learned a thing or two in life. One of those is when ppl tell you that you can’t or you shouldn’t. Most the times it’s cause they couldn’t! Can’t tell you how many ppl tell me I can’t land nav by the stars. Yet, I was infantryman and they thought that in the military as well as boy scouts when I was growing up. So it was common to learn those things when I was growing up. Where it’s not so common now. I heard the infantry doesn’t even teach land navigation by the stars anymore. They do a night hike but they don’t teach them to use the stars like they use too! There is a lot of things we learned growing up that most now days are clueless about. Although my idea is romantic dream for me. It might not be for someone else. Someone else might not be use to the seas so they will get sick easer etc. Again they might not be good with their hands.so when the boat breaks down they don’t know how to fix it and have to rely on others. That can be very expensive. Labor is the highest cost of anything. If you can do the labor yourself you can cut the price more than half! That goes for anything and everything! If you don’t know how to pull a motor or tranny then that’s goin to cost you. I know I was a mechanic and I would charge that butt. What the book says takes 9hrs I could have done in three and get the extra pay from it instead of giving you that discount. I know how it works like I said. Yet, if I can pull a tranny is 20mins and have the other up in the same 20-25 mins then I’ve don’t the whole 3 hr job in less than an hr. With just the price for the tranny. So instead of a few grand for a job the job only cost me a grand…. That’s how you save money on anything. You do the WORK YOURSELf! This way if something does break you have no one to blame but yourself…. You can’t say the mechanic f’d you now, lmfao! And for those that say it’s better to take to a mechanic.are the ones that don’t like to learn new things. You have to fail to learn. So you’re going to mess up just like that mechanic will mess up. I love to fail cause failing has thought me so much in my life!

When I store food away, in a freezer or etc.. I make a map, and a list of how many. I keep a spreadsheet of inventory. and what I ~~plan on eating the next cpl of weeks... a short list of nice to have stuff incase I go a a market. The I stage the odd items for the 2 weeks in a handy place.

If you love Annie's white cheddar shells, I got this recipe off the back off the box like 12 years ago and I've adjusted it with time, but it's still so good. Instead of mixing the cheese powder with butter, instead you mix the cheese powder with tzatziki (strain greek yogurt through coffee filters until it's super thick, mix in to taste salt, garlic, and fresh cracked pepper, as well as a grated cucumber that has been squeezed of all liquid) and then mix the hot noodles with that mixture. You can add a knob of butter if you want, but it really doesn't need it. That right there is super good, but I like to eat it with green salad dressed with balsamic vinegrette and some lemon. SOOOOOO GOOD!

Remember that the majority of my protein will come from spearfishing & ocean harvesting. That is why I don't have more canned meats or jerky. Otherwise I'd stock up! 😅

You explained that early on, and I kept thinking that this is way to much food for what are essentially sides to fish dishes. When you explained that you might get sick and potentially not being able to eat fish at all, the amount of food made a lot more sense!

Thanks Dan for a good video. It is the one thing I am having the hardest time with - trying to figure out what I'm going to eat in the Bahamas, You've given me several more ideas. One thing I would add for you is evaporated milk. It's regular milk just half the water, so add the other half back and you have regular milk again. And it tastes good ! Also you can make your own tortillas, if you aren't already. But yeah, good video, hope to share an anchorage with you somewhere !! 👍

I did this about 15 years ago going around the Pacific Rim and it took me 55 days and I had enough food for 70 days in case of a storm or something like that. I would provision on various jerkies (venison, chicken, turkey, bacon, bison), some dried fruits, some fruit flavored chocolates, tortilla chips and salsa, rice, canned tomatoes, canned chicken, applesauce, peanut butter, sea sickness medicine, insect repellent, flashlights with various sizes of batteries plus power banks and a few flare guns.

[@CuriousHumbleMarie]

Good haul Dan. I would have more dried fruits, frozen veggies, potatoes, garlic, onions for stews and stir fry’s. (You can regrow green onions by sitting the root in water). More importantly, you may also want to consider items for probiotics. Maintaining gut health is crucial. A well-balanced gut microbiome supports digestion, immune function, and overall well-being. Also, probiotics may have a positive effect on your mood and mental health, a connection often referred to as the gut-brain axis. Here’s how you can support gut health while storing food for 100 days on a boat: • Probiotic Supplements: These are the most reliable way to get a consistent source of beneficial bacteria. Choose a high-quality, shelf-stable probiotic supplement that includes strains like Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, or Saccharomyces boulardii. • Fermented Foods: While fresh fermented foods may be impractical on a boat, you can store shelf-stable fermented options like: • Fermented pickles (unpasteurized and kept in brine, not vinegar) • Kimchi or sauerkraut (look for shelf-stable or dried versions) • Miso (paste, which can be used in soups or sauces) I’d be interested on hearing about how you’re going to be prepared for fixing broken things on a boat and what spare parts you’re going to have for “when” things break during the 100 days…thanks!

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Great tips, thanks for the insight!

[@meredithlyon3142]

Good selection! I'd add: 1. More spices, especially Old Bay, lemon pepper, and seasoned salt. 2. Red wine vinegar. 3. More pasta, beans, rice. 4. Jerky. 5. Freeze-dried berries. 6. French fried onions. 7. Powdered eggs. 8. Dried fruit, e.g. raisins, prunes, mangos, pineapples.

[@WilliamAshleyOnline]

22:50 I am currently eating from my food preps havn't gone shopping in a few months now. IMO there are various considerations Its important to have morale foods. However it is super cheap to buy psuedograins and such on a boat moisture may be more of an issue. What I found is that I avoided eating a lot of my major food stockpiles of flour, rice and lentils/beans - the dry beans and lentils though can be used for sprouts and microgreens. You can regrow carrots/cabbage/onion and some other plants.. SEEDS let you grow the food and sprout micrograin seedfoods are super useful because you can cook them sprout them or make microgreens. The long voyages use to also have planters etc.. to grow some foods, for instance you could grow potatoes in potato bins. A lot of plants grow easily the issue is the water supply unless you have rail while at sea or a desalination method. I found the canned foods were super easy to eat with things - an Indian pressure cooker helped make stuff taste pretty good. I am a big fan of oatmeal also. I had a bunch of dark chocolate like 80-90% coacoa bars as chocolate rations. Early on I had tons of instant coffee a couple month ago I decided to quit the coffee and caffeine, and was a couple months without caffeine up until around christmas where I had some energy drinks Caffeine makes every day go faster and makes the morning but I found there isn't a lot of difference in not drinking caffeine. I also like a lot of spices, like curry spices, chilli peppers, hotsauce srirachi -- salts are an important thing to stock of course if you are at sea not as much an issue. I am a big fan of lives so I had tons of olives. For the canned meats I didn't do spam but rather mostly channed chicken/ham luncheon style blocks that could be sliced and fried or eaten raw as well as lots of corned beef, and canned fishes. I had tons of trailmix the problem is I really like trail mix so it was eaten fairly early. Over the summer I also grew a little bit food and foraged a bit. I had a variety of flours and oatmeal that I could make fishcakes with. I really like oatmeal and fish together. Banana /plantain chips, pastas. Soy chunks were something I also had a lot of. Freezedried strawberries and apples. Dehydrated fruits, prunes, apricots, dates. So quite a lot of stuff I can't fully remember everything but what I do know is that I still have quite a bit of stuff left going on months now and what I notice is that what I have left mostly now is the beans/lentils, grains, psuedograins, seeds and probably another couple months of rice and flour. Also most of my stuff with sugar is left as I avoid sugar. Bear in mind I also stocked some vitamins and supplements, including multivitamins. I still have quite a bit of tea leaf left as I quit caffeine shortly after the instant coffee and sealed blocks of coffee grind and bean ran out. IMO the actual living food is prefered stuff that looks like raw food is great the processed food is really bad for energy levels imo. After my reserves run out I am likely to go on a whole food diet as months of canned foods and processed foods contrasts heavily with the raw food diet. hopefully as my diet shifts from the flour and rice to the sprouts will will help transition. I figure my reserves will last me until maybe April. The big take away for me is the ability to make a variety of meals with what you do have so you arnt eating the same thing day after day.. variety is really good for morale. Also if you stock a lot of the same thing you really like you are more likely to eat that first making it so you don't have any morale food left toward the end. That said its really easy to stock for 100 days. For bear bones I would stock 4 bags of 10lb flour and 8 bags of 10lbs rice as the emergency reserve. If I were going to sea I might prep hardtack biscuits rather than just the floud due to moiture. IMO dates are super useful if you can manage them. Lots of waters. I find the spring waters and special flavored waters provide a bit of a morale boost. The dark chocolates are great. The coffee was great but I drank too much of it. Plantain ships were good. The freezedried stuff was good. virginCoconut oils store well. olive oil stores well. If you can do milk dried milk powders are fun. Chia seed is good, but there are a bunch of others. There are tons of spices and seeds that uncommon like fenugreek. I still have blackseed. I also have quite a bit of pickling spices like cumin, mustard seed - the key for me is picking spices that can also be sprouted. IMO having sprouts be it mung beans or some other form, or seeds that will grow into microgreens provides a nice little fresh food taste in there that acts as a morale boost, it also helps you plan meals about a week in advance which helps you stick to ration plans. 100 days isn't so long a time. IMO the food you had there should last way longer than 100 days if you throw in some food staples - things like potatoes, flour rice if you can eat some carbs really stretch out a diet big time. Anyway so the things that can provide the baseline are the canned meats, flour, rice super cheap and just them will carry a diet but they arn't so great imo health wise. The ideal for me is really the """" beans/lentils/spices/psuedograins""" (all sproutable) Also a bag of whole oats and whole corn can massively stretch meals I love pozole. The whole oats can be ground to make a great oat milk. you can also ferment and make a mash from whole grains or if you have some chickens you can feed them the mashed grains and get fresh eggs from them. NONE THE LESS this is a long reply but I think you would probably be good for 4 or 5 months with what you have based on your body size way more than 100 days. Also I like to have some lemon concentrate etc.. making sure you get that vitamin C is important for long duration activities due to scurvey etc.. :) Its making a comeback apparently. For me I also like to pick foods that are still edible if they freeze, however I think for you that is not the same concern. I would be more concerned about moisture getting into stuff. If you have a heat source for cooking or not would dramatically affect my choices. That said I could fast for 100 days without any food if I needed to right now. IMO the salt/ hotsauce, and spices make everything better. The sprouts and microgreens are a great consideration from dried seedfoods which are relatively compact and a great source of dietary fibre and iron etc. pseudo grains can make a nice drink the day before you start sprouting them. In addition to corn having a baking soda etc.. to nixtamalize your seed foods can be useful. Kombucha provides vinegar also which converts raw sugar. Fermented foods can make the time go faster because it can take days or weeks for fermented foods to cure. I also had a lot of pickles of various types these wern't used until later but were nice after all my favorite stuff ran out. Also don't underestimate preparing hardtack in advance rehydrated hardtack can be tastey and filling if you boil it in the indian pressure cooker with some spices etc.. it can take on flavor of canned meats also. Beans/lentils/rice / grains make a nice porridge. If you have a coffee grinder you can also grind up psuedograins/grains rice etc.. to make a very fine slop which is easy to eat a bit like congee. Lots of options. The main recommendation though is dried seed foods you can sprout and grow.. and the food that keeps regrowing by adding a few planters and learning to compost your waste to make fertalizer. IMO backup water sources and beverages if you have the room are a nice backup if say a pump breaks down or whatnot depending on how you are sourcing water. Drinking something different can be a nice morale boost also whether this is in drink mixes or canned/bottled drinks is a nice change. i like to reward myself with one can/bottle of spring water such as Evian, San Pellegrino or Perrier and others, the fizzy is nice for a change again its more so the activity of enjoying the experience rather than purely the sustenance aspect of it. However the emergency flour/rice that is prepared in advance into tact/cakes provides the fundamental rations.

Question. You ever thought about having powdered peanut butter? Just to save the weight or were there no products that could compare?

When I was in collage my favorite all preserves meals to make was cooking rice in chicken bouillon and putting a tablespoon of mango chutney in it.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Cassoulet in a can honestly sounds good. This whole video is great. Like your thought processes on provisioning. Don't the truffles melt in tropical heat? Aren't the glass jars a breaking risk in rough seas? Glass is an ideal food safe container, but can break. Totally agree with a fish first diet, and greens. The sprouts are a really good idea. Lots of good nutrition. Ramen with fresh fish stock sounds great. You can get better dried noodles at asian markets. Taiwan wheat noodles are great. I liked the suggestion of sardines. Low on the food chain, they have lots of omega oils not far from plankton, and low heavy metals. In that sense they're healthier than larger predator game fish.

[@shalimarsteinberg6589]

You have all the stuff for what I call lazy faux pad Thai. Take a couple of tbsp peanut butter, a little soy sauce and some garlic and mix with enough hot water to make it saucy. I also like a little sweet chili sauce or sesame oil, but it is good without. Then mix with ramen and if desired some of the canned chicken or tuna. It is a great savory carb filled comfort food.

When I watch most other boats provision it is helpful for my future plans. But usually it’s out of touch with the supplies I would want… it’s usually hundreds of cans of beer and bottles of wine. Yours is a lot closer to my tastes and how I cook. Making sure you have sauces etc for fish is really cool. Worcestershire sauce is a good one to flavor fish… it is made from anchovies.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Agree, and ultimately alcohol is a poison. You're better off without it in many ways.

[@julianbatcheler9970]

@ yes I don’t drink alcohol at all. Not anti it in a preachy way. And as a student I enjoyed drunken nights now and then. But never liked it. Always seems so toxic. Not promoting opium use… but as is sometimes said… society is generally anti opium related drugs and looks down on addiction to it. But meanwhile alcohol is acceptable. But opium has been used and still is, for thousands of years to ease pain and help with stomach issues… and in hospitals all over the world it is used to help the terminally ill everyday. Meanwhile they use alcohol to sterilize the instruments and clean the floors.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

@@julianbatcheler9970 Also not preaching. Just pointing out some practical downsides. Most recreational drugs have downsides. Opioids have legitimate medical uses, but also some very bad results when abused. Healthy food is a really good medicine; one of the best.

[@ariel_at_home]

First video I’ve ever seen of yours, not sure how the algorithm thought I needed you in my feed but I’m not disappointed! Instant sub!❤

[@rodskt100]

Dan is the man!! props from NYC!

[@JIBos]

Where do you put your carbage? Keep it on board till the first harbour or land fall?

[@ThumperX]

Dan, congratulations on your video, nice work. Veteran of 2 TransPac’s. The planning is meticulous. (don’t forget extra batteries). Have fun, keep in touch. Very best wishes …

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Thanks! It's going to be an adventure, but I'll definitely keep in touch!

[@swyork]

put most of the tortillas in the freezer to prevent them from molding. but pretty good planning.. Some tea is good for when you are not feeling well, maybe some bullion cubes for soups.

[@CruisingTheBroads]

Have you considered a couple of big fermenting jars and starting some sauerkraut or kimchi as you're leaving? It'll take a week or more to ferment in the first instance and if you can find somewhere cool to store it, will potentially last for months. Regular kraut is a good source of vitamin C. I like to make one with red cabbage, apple, beets, caraway seeds and a few juniper berries - which is absolutely bursting with polyphenols and a fantastic source of probiotics.

[@renondagregson1363]

Experration dates are a giude lines. Alot of what you have dosent go bad for 2-5;years i am a preper.

[@randallb1603]

i like how much thought you put into this. only thing i would suggest is maybe some beef jerky, just to have some beef on hand. looks like you are living the dream dude!

[@ReidsAviation]

Dan, I am 17 years old. This spring I plan to hit what you called "the grind" in one of your past videos and I will find a good deal on a boat and move aboard at 18, any tips?

[@aaronwalker3398]

I'm sure Dan has a ton of tips But I'll tell you mine anyways. Stick between a 28 and 32 footer. I'd have a professional look at it. Some projects are too much.

[@thewanderingrepairman5628]

I'm a mobile mechanic in Colorado and i live in my van. I just bought 2 sailboats. It's a different challenge then having rent where the maintenance is covered. Some ways it's better. Some ways it's difficult. Take all of the options, weigh every choice. Sometimes buying diesel for heat means skipping a meal or two. I have other issues like where am I going to park and not be bothered

[@thewanderingrepairman5628]

Also get a boat building manual

[@ReidsAviation]

@@thewanderingrepairman5628 I am in training to become a pilot I will finish next year, it is weird because for 3 years I will barely be able to make ends meet, than go straight to making almost 100k a year. A lot of opportunities exist on the coast so I can make it happen with enough perseverance. I have watched a lot of videos and know how much work and stress sailboats are.

[@HikerBikerMoter]

Go to the local yacht club in your area and "volunteer to crew". Its a common thing in the sailing community. Boat owners will appreciate the free labor and youll gain sail experience. EQUALLY importantly youll be known in the yacht club/marina so youll have an invaluable networking group wholl help you in sailing ⛵ ⛵ ⛵

[@usabayermicha6178]

was a very interesting video giving insight, food for thought, about provisioning, and why certain food groups are important on a longer sailing trip. Merry Xmas

[@jamesmcnally2519]

Consider protein like Jerky, easy to pack and keep and will also provide a source of sodium. Honey of course i would have more of, you touched briefly on the benefits however there are so many including medical benefits, it also goes food with your lemon pepper on fish! A source in place of sugar for baking (way better for you), or as a dressing with olive oil on a salad (after all I am a beekeeper lol). I never saw coffee, I would need some coffee and teas. Freeze dried vegetables and fruit are also easy to store and do not take up much room. (We used this kind of stuff when we would head to the trap line for long periods of time. PS: heading out Wednesday to look at what I hope to be my new and first boat as well as complete my ASA 101, 103,and 104 course out of Grenada!

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Great tips, thanks for sharing!

[@jamesmcnally2519]

@ thank for all the videos! I am hoping to have to provision my own boat very soon!

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

@@jamesmcnally2519 The ASA classes are solid. Hope they went very well for you. Take your time looking for a boat and be very picky. Find a good owner.

[@jadejasmine315]

With all that flour, you should make tortillas! So easy and if you get a high quality flour, they can be very nutrient dense.

[@BonnieVolkle]

Canned pumpkin & dried mushrooms, not pumpkin pie filling! Mushrooms have lots of calcium & pumpkin has great gut probiotics ❤

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Thanks for the tip!

[@anotheradventureonabudget]

I haven't left into the ocean yet but did spend 30 days anchored in remote area re.ied heavy on pasta and can foods . I since added plant based hamburger mix and other 25 year shelf life foods . Thanks for your video will add some of those items to my boat as well

[@HeatherRabideau]

Interested in your sprout set up

[@wpbrealtorkim]

Great video....had no clue how interesting this would be ....love your passion for cooking/nutrition AND organizing it all. I'm all in and packed...ready for the next vid!!!! NEW subscriber here!!! Smooch!

[@thenomadichillbilly908]

Have fun and be safe.

[@piknick111]

Unless its canned, expiration dates aren’t a big issue on seasonings etc. might only consider the elements and moisture than anything if its been affected.

[@GenieOfTheLamp82]

Thanks for sharing. Personally I'd bring some canned vegetables (carrots, peas, green and yellow beans, beets, ect) and some canned fruit. Safe travels.

[@richardbaker8928]

Frozen diced chicken and beef, canned meat like corned beef/stewed steak/chicken in sauce. Curry so curry powder/Indian spices/ready made curries and or paste. Learn how to make Bannock (fry) bread great with savory meals and you can add dried fruit for a sweeter version (goes well with honey). Have a great trip :)

[@scottsmith2052]

Fresh stuff for the first week. Spaghetti packs crazy tight. Actual peanuts, not ground up. More raisins. Steel cut oats. Garlic cloves. Irradiated milk. Popcorn kernels. Beef jerky or sausage. Brown rice. Powdered eggs. The quality of canned chicken varies dramatically by brand. Coffee. Mustard. Hot sauce.

[@HarmonicMan4]

Thank you for recommending the Sprouts product. I didn’t know something like that existed but I will be ordering it and I need it.

[@daniellemartin9896]

I love prioritizing the freezer soace for cheese and butter. Thats exactly what i would do, and a lil bacon

[@rak3151]

Hahahahaha! You ate a truffle or two …couldn’t resist, could you! Awesomeness!

[@Adventureman_Dan]

😁

[@refinedbrass]

i would need a lot of spam with me also Mrs. dash table blend , rub with love salmon seasoning, at least 8 bags of albanese gummy bears or worms, 5 gallons of honey, and last a fizz kit basic to make my own carbonated drinks that kit is really travel ready all you need to do is fill your 5 lb co2 bottle and have a 2 liter soda bottle and you are ready to go you just need a bag in box soda flavor of your choice and you can have soda for half a year. Forgot about the 4 Costco boxes of green tea, and bro I would wither a way without bagels, lox, cream cheese, and english muffin eggs sandwiches with spam and shelf stable cheese

[@KennyInSubic]

Can tuna fish and MRE's save space and provide 3000 cals.

[@sevenrainydays7001]

Really awesome. Maybe a band of electrician's tape around the glass jars at the same level would help prevent breakage.

[@babydoll9282]

I love orange juice and you can get that in a powder form it's called Tang my mom used to buy it when we were kids Just Add Water it's really good and I love a lot of fruit and vegetables so I would get raisins

[@juliazentner681]

Gotta get zattarans red beans and rice! So good and flavorful! I make ot for all potlucks, office parties, boat parties. Everyone asks for the recipe!

[@donhearn2248]

Heyyyyyyy......quick shoutout for their White Beans too....I love the red beans and rice, but the white bean stuff is fantastic as well.

[@O_Mahan]

Vigo Red Beans > Zatarains

[@Adventureman_Dan]

That’s a great idea! I love a good potluck!

[@David-d9s8h]

Caned beef. Put it on chips or tortilla with cheese, put in the microwave done fast and easy. Or you can mix it with noodles. Chilie for a change of pace.. Mash potatoe flakes aren't too bad.

[@edwardpotter8342]

Love your & Nicoles channel following both you all. I love boats, ships etc. hopefully by this spring I can find me a sailboat.i live in north Carolina a little town along the Pamlico River Good luck to you& Nichole God Bless 🙏

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Thanks! We're so glad you're enjoying our videos.

[@SailingArtha]

Thanks for watching my channel! And I grew up on the Neuse River!

[@donnobles5272]

Fresh eggs, great protein and there are several ways to store them without refrigeration so they will not spoil.

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Thanks! That's a great tip.

[@weldnermarreira3245]

I was asking myself this question just now, thanks a lot for this video, Dan!

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Glad to be of service!

[@ptompkins1976]

Canned meats to spam, chicken breast, pork, steak strips, and such. Also canned potatoes which are great to fry.

[@lazmotron]

If you have experience with long distance sailing, then you know what the body need to survive on those voyages. You are giving us very important first hand, experiential and experimental list of products which you know have worked before and will work now. Thanks.

[@WaxPaper]

God I miss being young, having the whole world in front of you like that. Time will destroy every hope and dream you ever have, if you let it. I wish I lived more like this guy. I wish I still wanted to, even.

[@GUNBOAT-1]

I work on a fishing boat in alaska and we always label the tops of our non desript food with a sharpie on the lid. makes things alot easier when your digging around for something. Another thing, prob not the best idea to store your food below the floor in the galley. if you take on any water your dry stores will be shot

[@doncritzer2798]

I live on my boat I use a lot of Swanson canned chicken ...and I put a can of diced tomatoes in all kinds of crap I make😅

[@digitalreject3233]

Sounds pretty delicious. Question. What do you do with all the packaging and containers?

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Swanson chicken is good for a long trip!

[@laperlenoir]

More proteins. I do frozen, canned and freeze dried meats. Low sodium canned and freeze dried veggies. I use butter, ghee, tallow and duck fat. Can’t do much carby sugary stuff.

[@Adventureman_Dan]

99% of my protein will come from the ocean by spearfishing.

[@fronbogi5048]

I would like to see your cook book , I did take that naan recipe down I am definately trying that out. Also if it was broken down in the category of under weigh and at anchor would be cool.

[@LadyDoe86]

A bit late to the video but have you ever dehydrate fruits and vegetables 🤷🏽‍♀️ all you need is water to rehydrate a whole meat. You can jar and store them and a long shelf life 🥰 this couples quote walks from Mexico to Canada dehydrate whole meals 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@lunarminx]

Whole wheat hardtack, the equivalent of two cups of flour per day. Three servings of Nestle hot chocolate mix(or your own mix in sealed packets). Four chicken/tomato bouillon cubes or equivalent of powder in sealed packs. One multi vitamins in a sealed pack. Add some hard candy or honey packs, coffee packs if a coffee drinker and a couple servings of coconut oil in sealed packs. Now seal all into a mylar bag. Basic survival pack for one day and 1000 calories of just the hardtack, Hot chocolate and bouillon. Adding the coconut oil adds healthy fats but have a shorter shelf life than the rest, honey is a good add too. Start with this and what you catch and grow adds to it.

[@neonguy57]

What about dried beans and lentils ? If you can find an Asian store you might be able to get tomato sauce in a bag . Textured vegetable protein if there is a bulk food store available also ... I boil it with ramen when camping in Algonquin . Safe travels Dan.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

He mentioned lentils. Agree. Rice and beans are a classic staple in much of the world. And lentils are a great protein source.

[@biggooseadventures]

Another great video

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Thanks so much!

[@mustwereallydothis]

I would definatly pack a lot of onion powder, dehydrated onions, carrots and celery and mushrooms, powdered coconut milk, dehydrated tomatoes and tomato paste. At least half of the meals I'm used to eating require at least some of those ingredients in their fresh form.

[@Dubz101]

The creamy chicken is the best hands down. The Buldak carb cheesy one is good too

[@aimsworth]

For safety margins, I'm fairly active so 1 lb each of rice, beans (various kinds for variety), flour/oats per day per person. So 100 days, I'd want 100 lbs rice, 100 lbs beans, 100 lbs flour/oats. ~10 lbs salt, 20 lbs sugar. The nice thing is you can start so many meals from that alone. Powdered milk if you can handle it. Then build up on the easy to prepare meals/snacks/fresh&canned foods. If you have dry food left over, it's okay it's still good for the next leg.

[@SpartyTime]

I'd add pepperoni sticks, frozen ribeye steaks, and frozen sausage tubes. You have a very good supply so far.

[@Adventureman_Dan]

I'm all about having plenty of protein on board!

[@XCI5ION]

I would look into a dehydrator, you can use it for a lot of stuff. Fresh fruits even stuff like condiments, hot sauces, etc. If you have the water supply and want to safe some weight I would try it on some of your goods. I also don't think it would take that much effort to rehydrate stuff

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Thanks for the tip! That's a good idea

[@AmNesia-r5h]

Yo Dan, this is hella dank, thanks

[@veronicavanderver7270]

What do you do with all the trash while at sea? What about your o t c first aid stuff. As far as food I would stock up on more of packaged shelf stable meats . And fruits that are shelf stable that is high in vitamin c . And more cooking oils and butters. More oats that didn't look like enough for 100 days.

[@JonTan-z3e]

i like how the entire boat is literally filled with food. and thats just for one person

[@LPJZ456]

Yk a small detail i appreciate is the sound adjustment for proper voice with no echo
