I Ate Nothing But Emergency Ration Bars for a Week…

[@crazydudehh]

for some reason on second 8 right as you say emergency food online the audio cuts out for me and doesnt come back for the rest of the video dont know if thats happening just to me

[@pantrypreparedness]

I’ve seen that happen for people before. The audio is all there when I watch it. I have no idea why it cuts out for you. Sorry!

[@Cameron_Adam]

Government doesn’t want you to know about these hacks

[@nates2526]

Thanks for sharing your experience! It would be nice to know which brands you ate one each day.

[@novanoble181]

Could these be used to lure small to medium game as a sort of bait feed I wonder?

[@pantrypreparedness]

It would be interesting to see if it will attract them.

[@GrantCharge]

Wow Ricky!! Maintaining BJJ training while eating “glorified cardboard” for week - you’re a machine! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻😂😂😂

[@pantrypreparedness]

It definitely got harder as the week progressed!

[@captainhindsight8779]

I wish you’d reviewed the actual bars 😢

I Ate 5 Different Ration Bars for a Week - My Recommendations kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKTZnpeYepp5oMU

[@davidelkins9894]

These (USCG rated) only have a shelf life of 5 years instead of 20 but are rated for extreme hot and cold temperatures. Peanut butter can’t do that but I do wonder how long most freeze dried meals can stay good in 100+ degree weather.

[@pantrypreparedness]

Good point! They definitely serve a worthy purpose.

[@scooterking136]

what was the one that you had on day 5 that you liked?

[@kc0isw]

After second into video there no audio

[@EpicTyphlosionTV]

Is it just me or does the video have no sound?

[@pantrypreparedness]

What kind of device are you watching on? I get this comment sometimes, but usually when people watch on a TV. For me and most everyone else, all of my videos have sound.

[@EpicTyphlosionTV]

@pantrypreparedness I'm watching on my phone. Oddly it was fine when I first watched a month or two ago

[@richarddickson3943]

Sound stopped for me after into. Watching on tv with fire stick

[@johndoe7901]

What was on day 6?

[@Putteblaze]

Lol🤣 cooking food whilst on a diet or fasting is frikken hell!🤣🤣🤣 ’cardboard’🤣🤣🤣

[@StatusVideoBlog]

bro ate 1640 calories and said this not as much as I was supposed to eat like a true fat American and im one of them so I can talk lmfao.

[@pantrypreparedness]

My basal metabolic rate is well over 2,000 calories per day. Which means even if I rested all day, which I don’t, that number of calories leaves me at a deficit. At my weight, that’s okay. But it wouldn’t be sustainable for a long period of time.

[@JuhaniKontiovaara]

Amazing video, I subscribed!

[@J12s-g9d]

i will be eating them for 48 days with water and vitamin pills

[@pantrypreparedness]

Let us know how it goes!

[@DaylightLLC]

So did you die?

[@lustysteve1420]

Nice vid bro

[@riproar11]

I wish you had added Patriots brand lemon flavored bars, which folks say taste good.

[@randyyeager]

A jar of peanut butter has more calories and more protein, tastes better and is cheaper than the emergency rations of the same weight.

[@Adriaan1987]

True, but it would be much more difficult not to eat too much of it per day, at least for me… 🤪

[@lamtran1934]

Wouldn’t peanut butter shelf life be less than emergency ration?

[@randyyeager]

@@lamtran1934 Yes but it's also used every day. Not just made for a survival situation, so you can replace it before it expires and eat it. I don't even understand why people think they need a 25 year shelf life for bugout bag food. If shit goes sideways, yer gonna eat everything you're carrying in your bugout bag in a week.

[@kimwoodbury3885]

It does, but it also sticks to your mouth and makes you thirsty a lot more (not good if you have limited water, and you'd have to eat much slower for safety reasons so your mouth doesn't get way too sticky) as well as the shorter shelf life

[@niccolochierici8276]

Rations have more nutrients, your body doesnt only need calories

[@Del_S]

I guess if they were too tasty there's a risk people might want some more and use them up too fast....

[@pantrypreparedness]

Maybe. I had the opposite problem. After a few days I was choosing starvation over nutrition.

[@dalirfarzan1694]

How were your poops? I heard those things can make them DENSE.

[@rhondahoward8025]

I have to ask with you losing 5% of your body weight if the threat of refeeding syndrome crossed your mind. I feel you'd have to reintroduce regular calories / food back into your system **slowly** to prevent any complications.

[@GoldenAgeofCOD]

No because he was eating and these bars have potassium in it. Refeeding is a result of overloading your body with potassium

[@stephenm2989]

I don't think you understand the purpose of emergency ration bars. They aren't meant for general food storage, but for specific use cases. Most of them were originally designed for storage in high humidity and variable temperatures, like on a boat. That's what the 5 year rating is for. They also work well for emergency food stored in a car as the temperatures varies greatly in a car and most storage type food goes bad quickly in high temperatures. For example: Mountain House should be stored at 75 F or below (per their FAQ). I can't find it now, but I did see a quote that says Mountain House should be replaced every year or 2 if stored at high temperatures in a car. Another issue is preparing food in boats or cars. How are you going to boil water in an emergency raft in the ocean? Do you want to get out of your car to boil water after getting stuck in a huge snow storm? So while they might not be the best for general food storage, they do fill a need that other products don't meet. They'll give you some time to try improve your situation and find better a better solution.

[@pantrypreparedness]

They definitely have a purpose. But I see them in lots of pre-made 72-hour kits based on the assumption that you’ll live on them for 3 straight days. It’s better to have them than nothing, but only marginally after day 1.

[@jameskelly1680]

Agree. The purpose of this type of ration is to be stored on a life raft under any conditions for 5 years. They are not thirst provoking. And the high-carbohydrate ratio means that they don't use much water to digest, the way you'd have with protein.

[@joeycoffeeaddict2640]

I have crohns and have experienced like actual starvation. It’s extremely hard to function in a server caloric deficit. I have been to points in my life where I could hardly stand up. Definitely something to consider when prepping survival rational.
