Mountain House 48 Hour Emergency Kit (featuring RevHiker)

[@RevHiker]

hahaha that was tons of fun to make and even better to watch! Thanks for showing my empty plate at the end and making me out to be glutton TheUrbanPrepper lol! Ill be making my reviews on them this week...and not all at once haha Thanks again for lunch

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

RevHiker The only thing more impressive than your beard is your appetite! Kobayashi has nothing on you. :) It was a blast filming with you. I'll keep you posted in the Seattle REI puts up "do not serve" signs up with our photos on them.

[@RevHiker]

TheUrbanPrepper That would be great if they did! The collab videos were some of my all time favorite to make.

[@CanadianPrepper]

As crazy as it sounds urban hiking could very well take off (seriously like hot yoga and barefoot running)! Im must emphasize how serious I am about that! At the rate of urbanization that may be all there is left to hike... Look forward to seeing more urban hiker and Rev prepper!

[@TheMountainRN]

Canadian Prepper it could be solution for the homeless population too. You make them wear animal costume and put " don't feed urban wild life" tourist listen so well they would feed them 8)

[@CanadianPrepper]

TheMountainRN I'm don't know how you think this stuff up lol,

[@TheMountainRN]

Canadian Prepper if i would know it would solve a lot of my life issue lol

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Canadian Prepper Perhaps you are on to something. Let's talk more!

[@RoguePreparedness]

I really like Mountain House. That is a neat little kit!!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Armed Rogue All of the meals were good! The spaghetti was our favorite.

[@crypt58]

Thank you so much for this! I've always wondered how those dehydrated emergency meals worked and how they're prepared. I'll definitely have to consider getting some for my emergency kit.

[@jamesbridges7750]

One good trick for mountain house meals is to use one of the insulated nylon lunch bags. Drop the mylar inside, pour in the water, and close both. Shortens the "cooking" time no burns from trying to hold the pouch, and keeps it nice and warm. Might not work for gram-weenies, but some do make pouches from the mylar bubble wrap and do the same, helps them use less fuel (don't have to go to full boil).

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

James Bridges Nice pro tip! Thanks for sharing, James.

[@jamesbridges7750]

Anytime! Really enjoying the vids!

[@Diebulfrog79]

Great video. You can divide the meal into smaller portions and add other freeze dried products. Myself, I have this box and few other items that I vacuum pack , like freeze meats, vegs, fruits etc.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Diebulfrog79 Yeah. I think these could/should definitely be divided up to smaller meals. The chicken and rice meal was HUGE!

[@Diebulfrog79]

TheUrbanPrepper In the old days of freeze dried food. There was a plastic turkey bag with a outside cardboard base. You added food and hot water to the bag, sealed with a twist - tie, shake it a bit and let sit. At one time you could buy six of these bags. But when they perfected the foil bag. These bags were no longer produced.

[@TheMisterMonkeyman]

I've been subbed to both you guys for a while, so it was cool to see you doing something together. Since there isn't a price break for that package I'll probably stick to buying the meals individually so I can choose the exact ones I want, to get more variety. I appreciate the review so I know that those 3 are good. Peace.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

TheMisterMonkeyman Thanks for watching! Yes, all three meal types were really good. I'd recommend picking them up individually so you can also include a little variety with other MH flavors.

[@robcicco7897]

u can eat mountain house meals with out water dry and they are awesome

[@MsSquattingBear]

Looks like you guys had a blast.

[@harriedkari5910]

You guys were having too much fun! I really like these crossover vids - who's next?

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

HarriedKari It was a blast filming with RevHiker. CanadianPrepper and I have been planning a crossover video, but it would be remote. Wandering Beast and I may get together in September. I'd lot to do more at any time. Perhaps at Shot Show? Any specific KZbinr's you would enjoy seeing me collaborate with?

[@harriedkari5910]

TheUrbanPrepper Oh cool, sounds great! It'd be pretty awesome to see you hanging out in Austria with Survival Lilly and Survival Mike.

[@beahaven]

I'm going to keep on the look out for this item on an Amazon sale. They have had some Mountain House items on sale recently.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

beahaven Yes. I saw the sale and picked up a few more pouches. I'm going to be putting an order of a few #10 cans soon.

[@jonnyspringfield2600]

That seemed like a lot in the bag, do you think it would be enough for 2 or more per bag?

[@GTC1967]

The 3 different Mountain House "Buckets" are a great way to stock up, especially when you can find them for under $70 each.

[@cprxprt150]

Appreciate the video, review and entertainment; however, what are the actual ingredients? Any "bad stuff" such as chemicals, colors, preservatives, and the like with those types of "food?" Just curious.

[@ethanthompson1461]

Please do a review of that knife! Other reviews of it just aren't enough. I love your videos and know you test stuff to the max! Begging for a vid on that knife.

[@art-e-mouse6210]

Really fun and informative video / review... the interplay was entertaining from two of my fav reviewers / personalities... Heck, you guy's should get promo consideration from REI and Mountain House... this was good stuff. Thanks fella's....

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Art-E-Mouse I may need to forward REI a link of the video. I already forwarded it to Mountain House.

[@art-e-mouse6210]

TheUrbanPrepper Given it's (the video) at their HQ, they may not want everyone shooting vids on their property... BUT, also given that it's publicity and you guy's mention them a dozen or so times in a thoroughly entertaining venue... they should "kick down sumpin'... shouldn't they? Give 'em hell Cliff.. (Drew can give 'em 'heck')

[@nick19nick1]

You two do great collab videos. Thanks for introducing revhiker (prepper?!) channel to me!!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Nicholas Guerrero Thanks for watching, Nicholas! I'm glad you enjoyed it. RevHiker is an awesome guy. We were like long term friends within 15 seconds after meeting.

[@nick19nick1]

It comes across well on the videos! You both make a good pairing with different insights (urban prepping vs hiking/wilderness). As for me I am new to this and live in the city so your channel has been great and informative, thank you!

[@flamingballzonice]

hey cliff, quick question: around where are these food trucks you speak of in Seattle? I haven't seen them in the past week I was there. I just dined around Pike Market and the int'l district area the last few days.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

16.5toHeaven Hey! Check out SeattleFoodTuck dot com to find locations of the food trucks each week.

[@flamingballzonice]

damn they look good. Thanks!

[@livinright1]

that was awesome firing up the stove + eating outside, of all places...REI HQ"s! LOL That was a good honest review and I agree pricing is off the mark on this one-thx 4 sharing, Lisa

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

livinright Thanks for watching, Lisa. We had fun outside the headquarters.

[@kittensugars]

Well, that was adorable. Thanks for the info & entertainment.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

kittensugars We had fun. Thanks for watching.

[@MuvoTX]

Nice video guys.... I always find spaghetti and chicken/ rice meals need more time... I give them a good 15 minutes or so to fully hydrate. I also bring along some french bread to go with the extra pasta sauce. I freeze a Costco rotisserie chicken breast and pack that to go with the chicken/rice.

[@MuvoTX]

... Er 6-7 extra minutes to fully hydrate, they're usually too hot anyways to eat right away.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

MuvoTX Good tips! Thanks!

[@sereignity]

You know Ive seen a lot of your videos, and I thought I was subscribed to your channel already but I wasnt. I am now . . . great video, looks like it was a lot of fun, you and RevHiker look like you sync very well. Big fan of both you alls channel, look forward to the next one.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Ruben Ulloa Thanks for subscribing, Ruben. I appreciate your support. I had a blast hanging out with RevHiker. What a cool guy! Hopefully we'll get to film again in the future.

[@concernedpatriot.2221]

appears that each packet contains a large amount of food. I wonder how the amount in the serving compares to one serving of the wise food ??? it appears that one packet can actually serve two people in a pinch. thanks for sharing, great video.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

michael leon Yes. Each packet is a meal for two. 6 packets total. Lots of food!

[@larryz24]

Darn, I only have a Ronson lighter, is it OK to use that instead of a Zippo? j/k I ordered and now have stock of the MH Breakfast skillet....delicious!!

[@mellonmarshall]

larryz24 as far as I know they are the same basic design so yes

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

larryz24 The breakfast skillet is great. It's my favorite MH breakfast item.

[@awall422]

If they really want to call it an emergency meal kit they should think about packaging it with enough water to make all the meals. Fun video, guys.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

ARLO Acre They use a lot of water (approx 16 oz each), which would add a lot of weight. They probably want to save on shipping cost, which I'm OK with.

[@S.AnnMarie]

Great vid I would like ro try that out. Urban prepper are you in NEW YORK? I'm in Brooklyn

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

S. Ann Marie Morais I live in the Seattle area. I love the Brooklyn area though!

[@S.AnnMarie]

Thanks for all the urban ideas.GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER

[@drcstudios]

Great Job gentlemen!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Whiskeyfox Thank you. We had a lot of fun with this one.

[@joebetts1515]

The best way to spoil a friend!! Great Video!! :)

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Joe Betts Nothing but the best! :)

[@ryunin69]

I would rather eat Mountain House meals with you and Rev. Hiker than eat at Canlis.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

ryunin69 That would be fun! Let me know when you are in town.

[@ryunin69]

TheUrbanPrepper I live in Seattle. In Georgetown.

[@Paul-eb3pg]

Spaghetti and rice and chicken are my favorites

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Paul DiDonato They were both really good.

[@jonnyspringfield2600]

I enjoy your videos together, you guys make a good team. Did you meet on youtube or did you know each other beforehand

[@colwild]

Great video! Thanks guys!! :)

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Greg Kelway You're welcome, Greg. Thanks for watching.

[@mowglismischeif5677]

I think this is the first time that I watched a video the same day it was made!!! 😂😂😂

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Mowgli's Mischeif Nice! The funny part is this one was filmed 10 days ago.

[@supersquirrel4755]

better than chef boyardee!!!! I'm in... thank you gents' for an honest review.. REI has sales on mountain house foods and i'll be buying a bunch of them.. you guys looked like you had a lot of fun doing the review

[@mowglismischeif5677]

So you filmed it and then posted it a while later?

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Mowgli's Mischeif A lot of the videos that I update were filmed a week prior to them appearing on KZbin. It takes me a little bit of time to do the editing. On this particular one, I wanted to have the recently uploaded Urban EDC Backpack v3 videos sit for a few days before posting the next video.

[@218cblue]

Lol! Great video guys!

[@bonvivant55]

Fast forward to 3:30

[@WuLe993]

Hiker, Rev Hiker :D

[@PaulBuikema]

Nice video, I like the conversational style. I hope RevHiker didn't burn his beard with that first bite of pasta, !

[@RevHiker]

Paul Buikema lol no beard burn...but the roof of my mouth was feeling it!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Paul Buikema RevHiker definitely has a fantastic beard!

[@thegabster93]

Looks pretty good lol

[@PREPFORIT]

Looks yummy for freeze dried fare ! Just double those prices in Canada. Mre's / any company's freeze dried stuff is wayyyy overpriced here.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

PREPFORIT Ouch! That is lame. :(

[@Kali_Bear1776]

The Tabasco sauce would have fit right in

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

JUGGERNAUT MARKO I totally agree.

[@chrissmith2501]

Hey I like the into very much

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

chris smith Sweet! Thanks for noticing it. I'm trying to step up my video production.

[@JosephHooper256]

I'm 100% with RevHiker on the food touching thing. I definitely don't like my food to touch. I'm real OCD about that one.

[@Alejandro101x]

Nice intro

[@chrissmith2501]

I ment introduction

[@onocavinta8898]

Awesome video as always. What a fancy lunch! and breakfast... and dinner... First! Under 301+ ! 91st view

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Ono Cavinta I made sure to give RevHiker the full smorgasbord. :)

[@agreen9813]

LOL, I saw the background and had a flashback.

[@Briantan1911]

Lol the urban hiker!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Brian T Stay tuned! ;)

[@harpjason208]

Being married to an Italian, the MH pasta is not great by any means. Maybe after a 10 mile hike... I need to get a home freeze dry machine and save her leftovers.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Mostly humble 1 I'd love to try out your wife's home cooked pasta. Send me over some freeze dried leftovers!

[@harpjason208]

When I get the machine.. Will do.

[@HFSurvivalSchool]

Thank you urban prepper ! This is why you should prep ! I was always a survivalist and woodsman-bushcraft guy but i got in prepping after watching your videos here , you were the first guy from whom I heard word "prepper" and I got in to it , I had much water at my house and much food (mre's and stuff like that) not to talk about my bug out bag, so I was pretty much ready for everything what could hit me so yesterday this happened , I made a fundraising to help people and animals who are in need , all of you who are reading this please help us by donating , if you can't donate just share this video on facebook or twitter this will help a lot , thank you all. Here is the link for the video and pictures , push gallery and see the video of what is happening , and the worst part is that if today it will rain it will happen again because the river has changed its way www.youcaring.com/people-and-animals-in-tbilisi-370338

[@EricOther]

Holy carp. I hope neither one of you have high blood pressure. A lot of sodium was consumed in that meal. You should have brought some flour tortillas. I'm pretty sure that's how the breakfast is intended to be consumed. Thus the "wraps" designation. Cool video. Thanks for the look.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

illbilly Good tip on the BHP! I'll definitely keep that in mind in the future.

[@UncleBananas]

fun vid lol

[@GTC1967]

"UrbanHiker" LOL LOL LOL!!!

[@wildwillyprepper]

The most un healthy food on the market.

[@jeffdonner1912]

It's meant to be a temporary solution in an emergency, not something to eat a steady diet of. When the emergency is over, then you can get back to your sprouts and tofu.
