i don’t condone or suggest this, but; many years ago i had a coworker who would empty (drink) and dry his drink cup at fastfood places just before we left each time. he would then take it and the lid to the area where drink refills and condiments were. then pretending to get a drink refill, he would fill the cup with packets of salt, pepper, sugar, condiments and any specialties they had. he built an entire small suitcase for them that was divided and highly organized and would take it home to off load and start over every few months...

The sell by date doesn't mean that a product is bad after that date. It's for the highest quality of taste. I've eaten soup that is outdated by a year and no issues. But then I don't mess around with anything that has dairy or fats in it. I like couscous because I can just soak it with a can of chicken and I'm set. I REALLY wish they would put out small single pouched chicken. Starkist is putting out flavored chicken ones but we need plain old chicken.

I ate very similar to this when I was homeless and living in a tent. No refrigeration. I read a negative comment about the instant mashed potatoes. I pour the hot water in a dish, then slowly add potatoes and mix until I get the consistency I want. My favorite soup was Ramen noodles, dehydrated veggies ( like the cabbage mix- it's sweet), jerky, spice to taste. Let soak in boiling water for around 20 min for everything to re hydrate and eat. Instant rice, refried beans, dried soup mixes and so on were my staples. I added canned meat to round out my meals. I have no problem with vienna sausages or salty canned foods- I just didn't add salt to a lot of things.

If you enjoy the taste of chicken ramen like me but don't want all that sodium here's what I do . Walmart carries a small package of Mahatma yellow rice for $0.75. And the Dollar Tree carries a 16oz bottle of seasoning salt for a dollar. The seasoning salt smells and taste just like chicken ramen with like half the sodium. Pairing them together you get a hardier and healthier meal that tastes just like chicken ramen. There's enough rice in the bag for a lunch for two or a Hearty dinner for one at the end of the day. I also like to fry up some smoked sausage slices to pair with it for fat and protein. It's delicious and it's cheap. If you want to make it last longer you can substitute the smoked sausage with summer sausage. But in my opinion the fresh sausage is tastier.

Some of those pouch meals are kinda like a cheap civilian MRE. I've been looking up those vacuum sealing devices, and it's possible to use a vacuum cleaner for fairly decent results if you do it right. Then you can pack whatever you want for at least short term. The best thing for camp meals is always aluminum foil. I put aside empty tic tac containers for spices. And aside from camping what I always do, is keep a box in my car for whatever I run into. Matches lighter pocket knife, blanket and a plastic table cover, a jacket and at least one pair of socks. Old shoes. Basically I try to keep a little kit in the box so that I'm prepared for anything. I think it's something all kids should be taught when they get their license. Keep a small prepairness kit for random emergency. Get caught in the rain, lucky for you, you've got sweat pants and dry socks, and some old shoes. Whatever you think might be useful. Never know. I even keep a alcohol stove and snacks in the box.

Let me give you a couple of things to try. You talked about freezing meat and it lasting a day. On youtube people have made pouches out of a foil bubble wrap you can buy at lowes. They use them for warming up rice dishes or Mtn house meals, cooking out of them, just adding boiling water. I have found that if I freeze meat, put it in a ziplock bag, then the pouch and wrap it in clothes in my pack, even in the summer I can keep it cold for about 3 days. A mini fridge. Another thing I use is gravy packets. I use 1/2 a packet per meal and make biscuits and gravy, using English muffins/ a poached egg on top and some jerky, bacon bits or something sprinkled in the gravy or on top. Try it you will like it. I use the other half of the gravy packet with the Ramon noodles. Last idea is stove top dressing, very satisfying. I too love to eat when I go hiking. Good luck with your next adventure.

I really do like your suggestions and what type of food to be on a camping and hiking trip. Though that little Soy Sauce packet is not real soy sauce if you read the ingredients that are in it. Next time you go to your local Panda Express make sure to ask for some extra Kikkoman brand Soy Sauce packets. Kikkoman is pretty much the gold standard of real soy sauce. And not that Imitation stuff you have that is nothing more than a sugar based brown liquid. I think you might have mentioned this in one of your other KZbin videos. About the Walmart "Great Value" brand Pulled Pork in BBQ sauce. If not, then for those who are watching this great KZbin video. Next to you go to your local Walmart store. Check out the section where they have all the canned Tuna Fish and other pre-packaged foods. That come in a aluminum pouch and look for the Great Value Pulled Pork. It is great with just about anything, for putting it on a Tortilla, to mixing it in with some Top ramen noodles.

If you get hungry for vegetables when you are backpacking.

Great vid! I'm so grateful to see more 'instant meal' options available now...and more affordable than typical backpacking meals. These meals are not the most healthy & usually overloaded with sodium; but this isn't for everyday/just for camping...I think that's fine. I went car camping; but didn't want to mess with ice. I used Nido powdered milk to add to coffee & can also be used to make a cream base for a main dish. I was pleasantly surprised with the taste.For meats, if you can stand a lil more weight, small medical ice packs (ie. used for shipping insulin) seem to stay frozen so much longer than anything I could buy at the store. It seems that you are more geared to backpack type meal prep; but if car camping was an option...I think canning your own meat to bring with would give you days worth of 'fresh' protein.

Sorry to be a party pooper, but might want to avoid adding boiling water directly in the oatmeal bag.... it seems the bag has an inner coating that may be polyethylene (like the knorr bags which are in fact coated with polyethylene). polyethylene plastic, which is also used to make ziploc bags, starts softening around 195F (mainly depending on elevation) and boiling water is around 212F. interestingly there seems to be a few people out there who think freezer bags are safe to add boiling water to... a freezer bag generally has a better seal and thicker plastic BUT softening point is for the most part the same...remember, it's a freezer bag, not an "oven bag". even if the plastic was a FOOT thick, the side exposed to the hot water can still melt/soften. if you are ok with potential chemical leakage in your food, i will sh up :) stay healthy!

Exactly! Wish people would do more research on Use By, Best By, Sell By dates. They wouldn't throw away as much food as is being tossed in the trash today. White rice, properly stored, has a shelf life of 30 years! Yet, bags of rice at the grocery store generally have a Best Buy Date of about 2 years out. Yes, older rice may take a little longer to cook, a year after the Best Buy date. Yet it is still perfectly safe to eat. Canned goods, AS LONG AS THE SEAL ISN'T BROKEN is safe to eat. (Cans & jars). There may be some nutrition loss and/or color change. Generally dry foodstuffs have a much longer shelf life than the packaging date indicates. For example, I've eaten vanilla wafers a year beyond the best buy date and I couldn't tell the difference. Do study to save money by not tossing food. Do study to learn how many other foods have a 30+ year shelf life. Do study to learn what to look for when evaluating foods (especially canned foods) for signs of spoilage. Last time I checked, the only regulations on food storage dates were for baby foods. Thus, processors choose which dates to use and how to calculate those dates based on their own legal and sales/marketing requirements. Is the date on that can of peas based on when the next crop will be processed? Think about it. Research for yourself.

Down here we have to turn to no-cook stuff because it is just too hot for a fire or to eat anything hot....

*Oatmeal; Honey; fresh fruits and vegetables already washed, cut, pre-measured and in it’s own baggy; bar-b-que sauce; I Love Spam; trail mix; dry milk... spices!* *Spices!*. You can always especially if you carry a variety of food make a soup out of a bunch of things you wouldn’t of thought to mix together. I always enjoyed soup out on the trail! It was hot yummy and I guess it was comforting!

As a nearly diagnosed diabetic I am majorly redoing my food options while camping. Also try McCormick's Nature's seasoning. it has salt/pepper/garlic/onion and celery seed. Great on Everything!

I took some of the small mylar bags. I put oatmeal (some with cinnamon) in a sealed. All you have to do is cut open, add water, stir and wait few min. Eat out of pouch. They pack nice and flat and take no space in my BOB.

Will you be doing any more camping food videos in the future? Would love to give you a sample of my product to see if it's worth mentioning.

The food is good. If the package is not open, or damaged, you should be good to go. The dates on many foods are for lawyers and marketers. It is what makes America the most wasteful country in the world.

I tossed a lot of good food before I learned that little secret. For example, plain white rice, from the supermarket usually as a Best By date roughly 2 years out. Yet, properly stored, plain white rice has a 30+ year shelf life. For dry ingredients, it's often the fat content that determines shelf life. Again, rice is a good example. Brown rice will keep for about a year (depending on storage method) before it begins to turn rancid. For dry foods, your nose is often the best indicator. If it smells rancid or stale, toss without tasting. If there's no indication of mold or other signs of spoilage and it smells fresh, taste a bit before tossing it out. For example, I had a box of vanilla wafers, hidden behind some other stuff in my pantry. When I discovered it, the Best Buy date was 2-3 (can't remember exactly) years out of date. Ate the whole box! :-) Please take time to research actual shelf life of many foods before tossing. The last time I checked the only regulations that apply to food dating was for the labeling of baby food. One of the sources that I use for dating information are the LDS. IMO, they are experts when it comes to storing foods for the long haul. Hope this helps someone make the most of the resources they've worked hard to obtain.

I had an old soup mix about the same era and it was still really good. There are a lot of things that are not good or flavor can got bad but dried soup is pretty good a few years after the date.
