I feel like I’ve said this before but I still can’t believe that 6 years ago you made a microwave food video as a joke and it became so successful that we now have Brutalfoods.

the PLOP sound effect is like a good friend you knew for years. You don't see him all to often, but you are happy everytime he returns.

For anyone wondering, Cabela's is owned by Bass Pro, but is more centered around food preparation (making jerky, sausages, etc). Cabela's was bought by Bass Pro because supposedly people kept trying to get meat smoking products from Bass Pro

Painting your face for a 10 seconds joke in a half an hour video is the mark of quality that kept Brutalmoose a consistent master of the craft

"I don't like soggy bread." Buys a meal that's literally the embodiment of bread soaked in a viscous liquid.

sorry for the long wait, but i return with foods!! hope you guys enjoy this one, i worked hard on it!

The editing for this video is absolutely superb. Bravo! Also, the orange one appeared. This is an instant classic

We may have to wait 1 to 2 months between most videos but the quality of each one that Brutalmoose produces makes it so worth it. I even watch the sponsored advert because they’re so unique.

after walking 30+ miles in the wilderness, i can guarantee every single one of these meals will taste like gourmet. also, your hair looks incredible

3:24 I as a backpacker can say (not having watched the full review) the freeze dried meals are meant for backpackers, but you can also use them for "survival scenarios." That being said, after you have been hiking over 14 miles for a whole day (with a pack) these all taste like the best thing you've ever eaten.

This is incredibly cathartic as an ex-Cabelas employee. Thought this might be a review of the restaurant/grill food that they used to do. I ate exactly one bison burger from the store I worked at before it was shut down for Covid reasons. Was pretty good.

Last year, a buddy and I hiked across the US for 4.5 months. These meals were never in our packs, as they were way too expensive. One day, though, we were out in the middle of nowhere in South Dakota and an amazing lady pulled over to the side of the road and offered us whatever we wanted out of a cooler she had. Of course there were soft drinks and snacks (which were a godsend themselves, as it was ~95°F), but she also had 2 freeze dried meals. We asked if it was okay to take, and she basically shoved them in our packs for us. After a 25 mile day, we ate that questionable macaroni and beef like kings.

Kinda random but man I just love this channel. I've been here since the Chantelise and polar express days and sometimes I feel like I miss that era, but i'm just happy Ian is still here making videos and being his weird self. Thanks for being here, Moose.

Brutalfoods equals 30 minutes of recording and 6 months of editing. Love it.

I appreciate how no matter how long it’s been, I can always count on Ian to add a “Plop” sound bite in his videos

I started to gain consciousness just as public access tv channels faded, but I really get the feeling it would've been almost as cool as these reviews. You're one of the only creators and editors that still makes me laugh like a deflating balloon with all the chaos, there's no style I can compare it to. Keep on ploppin'

This’ll get lost in the comments but Bass Pro Shops bought out Cabela’s ~6 years ago. At this stage all the logistics and products for sale are dictated by Bass Pro shops, just with a different name on the front of the store. Also very glad you did not have to endure the horror that is an Alpine Aire meal, quite possibly the worst thing you could possibly eat, ever.

brutalmoose's content always feels so weirdly cozy.

Brutalmoose has to be the only KZfaq channel I don't skip the sponsored ad. So well done haha

This might be an all time great for brutalmoose editing. Spectacular the whole way through

Ian being the most adventurous picky eater is why I return time and time again. What an unlikely perfect paring.

That pepperoni pizza is an exact copy of what is in the MREs. That company is the producer of many MRE components. Probably why it reminds you of it!

"Honey! You're gonna love this! I covered dinner today... And it's freeze dried!" Made me laugh so hard people stared.

Yo! Luke straight killed it with that song. And great synergy with the video effects too Ian. You two make a great creative team.

Ian, never stop being the wildest yet most lo-fi person on KZfaq.

Everything I know about freeze dried meals boils down to, "You cant go wrong with tomato sauce." The tomato flavor just stands up to the process so well, throw in some pasta and it'll be about as close as you can get to an enjoyable meal.

Holy shit this is an instant classic. Gonna add this vid to my yearly brutalmoose binge list

As a lover of microwaveable/canned food and camping, I’ll be the first to say that I live and die by Mountain House. Chili Mac and Beef is top tier, and the Spicy Southwest Style Skillet is unreal, I’d eat that for breakfast everyday if my heart wouldn’t explode from all the preservatives

As a Cabela’s employee this is the best episode ever. Thank you so much Also yes Cabela’s and bass pro are the same. Bass pro bought Cabela’s a while ago

can i just say i love the narrative here? the little adventure story being told as you eat the foods is such a delight

The editing on your videos always kills me. The transformation sequence and when you threw the tasty looking silicone packet into the glass and then was sucked into it... inspirational.

Ian's sanitation standards scare me a bit. He used cups and bowls fresh from the store right after peeling the plastic off and without washing them first, he put his pizza on the floor and then ate it, and he put the spoon he mixed his lasagna with on the dirty table, then mixed it more. I guess he really has become a top tier Bass Pro Shop survival man!

The bald eagle bit is already one of my favorite brutalmoose moments... Great work ian!

man you really have to admire some of the commitment and editing work here, it takes a long time to go out to the forest, get those shots on the river and in the cave and then spend all that time rotoscoping himself to put those product shots behind himself to make it look nice. truly a paragon of modern editing and amazing commitment to your work!

That is quite honestly the best Hello Fresh ad I have seen in my life. And I must have seen at least, like, 7.

I can't think of any other youtuber's sponsored bits that I actually like rewatching. Well done both you and Youngtown, that song is a banger!

You should try that end times bucket food sometime. And love the Yungtown Hello Fresh ad.

I can’t believe Ian would flood his kitchen just for a video. That’s what I call dedication.

I think I speak for almost everyone here, but this is by far one of the best channels on KZfaq. It's just so wonderfully weird and zany. It brings me back to when I was a kid and watching those public access tv shows where just about anything goes.

BrutalMoose is that one channel that I remember exists like twice a year and immediately binge-watch all the new videos.

that bridgeford pizza is literally the ones they put in US MREs. im glad to see that they sell it individually

Fun fact: the "eat by" date is also how long the food takes to digest.

The eagle bit at the beginning had me laughing so hard I hurt my stomach. And then the dark red lights as he cuts it open 😂😂😂😂😂😂 He's my favorite when it comes to comedy.

I've been watching your videos for a while and this by far has been my absolute favorite. The editing you did and the journey you just took us on... absolute masterpiece. Thank you for blessing us with this content

Ian is the Salvador Dali of youtube. Proudly makes some of the stranges videos ever, has iconic facial hair, and owns a pet anteater that he throws onto people. Real chill guy, def sub to him.

This is officially the most Texan video Ian has ever done. Even more than the Texas-themed BrutalFoods video.

Your editing is scarily good

I love how you create your videos. They’re always Fun and nostalgic. Plus it’s like a mystery tape sometimes you don’t know what to expect.

Im not an outdoor person but stepping into a cabellas or bass pro shop is kind of magical. Its a 5/5 for presentation and scale.

This man hasnt eaten any type of food in 3 months for a video i truly appreciate this man

i love mr moose and the editor equally i then proceeded to look for the name of the editor and immediately realise mr moose IS THE EDTOR and my mind was blown

I absolutely love this human for the sheer lunacy he brings to our humble lives! We aren’t worthy. ❤

Adding the Banquet "good, honest value" bit into you reading the first product was a top tier throwback and I appreciate it immensely

When the world needed him the most. He returned.

I've been watching your videos since I was at least 18, I'm 27 now. Thank you for your videos and making me laugh all these years!

Ian, what a treasure your videos are. Just when I think you can't get any better you step it up a notch! The callbacks, the casual litter, the epic hello fresh ad, its all incredible. Amazing work, sir. You are a true master of your art.

I don’t think I’ve seen a channel whose humor is almost entirely from the editing, it always gets me

The fact that his Garfield moment in this had him hating on mondays when the video was uploaded on a monday, i just can’t help but smile because of that.

this editing is so phenomenally surreal. like this video is genuinely incredible. so good

The technology that goes into the packaging is amazing. Who knew we needed packaging that shows everything that's behind you?

God we are so close to that MRE brutal foods episode

Ian, just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you. Went through one of the hardest losses I possibly will ever experience in my lifetime this week. Seeing you gave me genuine comfort today. Keep being you and doing your thing ❤

That is the single best ad sponsor I've ever seen. Hello Fresh should be employing you as head of marketing after that. Utterly spectacular.

I love your Tim and Eric style of editing with this one. Also can we take a moment to appreciate the sponsor segment?! First time I watched and didn’t skip a sponsor bit lmao

Two seconds in: good god his hair is getting more and more glorious.

Ians dedication to his craft: intentionally causing a fridge leak to force himself to redo his kitchen at great expense during a cost of living crisis

I feel like the reoccurring of Brutalmoose saying "Act-" has to be the funniest thing ever

That transformation at the beginning was straight up Tim and Eric, hilarious! Great Job 🤣

ian using the packaging from the food as props for the skits in between food is absolutely genius

This video had it all! Daring...adventure...intrigue...incredible editing...MJ playing a giant monster...a Garfield cameo...and another banger Hello Fresh song. Loved every second!

Brutal moose always goes so hard on his videos. Each one is just peak high quality.

Just love the takes where you throw the packaging away ; cause it’s all about you

Ian is still the only person making videos I know of that actually makes their sponsored segments worth watching

Unironically the Mountain House stuff is pretty great when you're camping, but boy is the biscuits and gravy stuff gross.

I love you’re editing style 🤣🩵

I challenge anyone to find a better collection of hello fresh adverts, it just can’t be done. You are the King of hello fresh adverts

My kids say "love that crunch" all the time since the Ramen recipe video and they're gonna love that you brought it back!

Dude Ian your one of my favorite KZfaqrs, I know you will probably never see this but, keep up the good work my dude! :D

so nice of moose to make 30 minute intro for yungtown’s song

People say this on every video, but Ian's editing in this video is incredible! A definite new favourite for me of the brutalfoods series :)

So glad BrutalMoose got to spend some time outdoors, getting fresh air, and living the camper life.

The editing on his videos is magnificent

the unhinged editing is what drew me in this series time and time again these videos is just gushing with personality and style

oh my god that hello fresh song was one of the best things i’ve seen from you in a while 😂

Is it weird that I'm always just as pumped for the off the wall Hello Fresh adds as I am the rest of the video? Absolutely flawless advertisements tbh

As a camping / backcountry hiker, those mountain house meals are legitimately my favorite thing. Sometimes I'll eat one instead of cooking dinner just cause they're so good. The Biscuits and Gravy one is my favorite breakfast one, right after the Breakfast Scramble. Chili Mac and Beef and the Beef Stroganoff are my favorite dinner ones. God I wanna go to REI and buy some now :(

Had me dying at the waterfall river adventure 😂 the editing is top tier

This was an instant classic Brutalfoods I’ll watch on repeat. Hysterical episode!

I’m just in love with the time and care that the editing must have taken. The editing is just amazing quality and severely humorous.

They remind you of MREs because those pizzas are EXACTLY THE SAME THING that they put in MRE Menu #23, Pepperoni Pizza Slice

I used to love going to Bass Pro Shops with my dad SOLELY because you were allowed to take your dog there and I wanted to take the dog. I’m sure my dogs would love those adventure meals. Great vid, Brutalmoose!

For those who don't know, the reason the pizza's packaging is similar to an MRE, is because that's straight up the pizza used in the MRE's. Bridgeford makes a few different products that are used in MRE's, specifically they make most of the bread type products. It's probably the doughiest bread you'll ever eat

I think the mold has gifted you with additional creative genius Ian. Those transitions had me laughing out loud multiple times

Those freeze-dried meals really are pretty great when you’re out camping/hiking. In terms of just decent tasting food that is super lightweight for the amount of calories it provides they can’t be beat. Also so simple to prepare.

we never watch a hello fresh ad on the brutalmoose channel. We are graced with the honor to enjoy another fun filled adventure of a music video that happens to feature hello fresh words on the brutalmoose channel. :)

You deserve that 1m man been watching you since 2008 keep up the good work 💪

That ice cream sandwich might actually be something I'd like!! I have very sensitive teeth and I love ice cream and ice cream sandwiches, but often times I can't bite into anything that cold, my teeth just numb up and feel REALLY uncomfortable. The ice cream sandwich might be great for when I want that taste, but I can't handle something cold. Thank you for trying it, like genuinely, I might actually seek it out!!

My dad took us to cabelas twice as kids. It was a magical place, the big one in ohio. They have an entire fake mountain with various ecosystems inside thr store, and an entire fake pond with big fish, like grotesquely large bass.

I always love the random sound effects and moments at times. Your video’s never fail to make me laugh

That mountain house Alfredo hits different after backpacking 4,000ft up a mountain
