Thank you for your comment! I appreciate how you feel about the video. Hope you enjoy some of the other videos too! Have a great day!

Yeah cause not many people want to waste 3 min watching him open a box lol

Thanks for the comment! Appreciate that you watched the video!

Thanks for the comment! Yes, I had no idea about the taste of the food and my expectations were low. But when I tasted it after it was cooked, it was very good. I was a bit shocked at how good it tasted. Thanks for watching the video!

I think it's a good idea to start small, and actually try this food before investing in large quantities, and find the things you and your family like to store up for the longer haul. I've tried the MPS food that way, and liked most of what I've tried a lot. the smaller kits - sample kits, and the (one week?) food-in-a-plastic-ammo-box kit are fine ways to try a little of the food to see what works and what to expect. And what could be worse than investing in hundreds or thousands of dollars of this stuff, only to find out when it really matters that you would rather eat bug-burgers than try to survive on the "survival" food? In my experience, the southwestern rice, chili mac, potato soup, orange drink, and chicken rice are winners for me, stuff I could eat pretty regularly. (The traveler's stew wasn't bad, but I'm with the reviewer: the chili mac would be an improvement :) ) The orange drink is basically orange kool-ade, which can probably be found cheaper at the local grocer, but it's good stuff, especially with a few freeze-dried strawberries mixed in as an extra treat and garnish. I'd say I liked the majority of the food I tried well enough as-is to survive on, though you'll probably want to be sure to stock up some extras to go with it - freeze-dried meat, vegetables, and fruit, for example, and rice, beans, pasta, potatoes, and the like to bulk things out a bit with. Seasonings, dry soups (like Bear Creak soups), and dry sauce mixes of the sort that most groceries stock in generic store-brand packs for a few dozen cents a pack (spaghetti, taco, chili, brown/chicken/turkey gravy, beef stew) aren't a bad idea to add as ell. Canned meats (canned chicken, tuna, beef, turkey), canned sausages, and jerky and hard sausages (pepperoni, etc.) are a good idea as well. These items can really help out a lot where the MPS meals as-is just aren't quite enough (like the packs of plain, unseasoned white rice!) The down side was that some of the meals were bland and a bit depressing - I'm looking at you, strawberry cream-of-wheat and maple oatmeal! I'm not sure exactly what, but both of the hot cereal options needed a little something to liven them up - in an emergency situation, you'll want all the comfort you can get, especially something cheerful to wake up to, and the hot cereal as-is just doesn't quite make it. I tried adding some freeze-dried strawberries to the cream-of-wheat, and topping the oatmeal with some maple syrup, and it doesn't help very much, so I'm not sure what's still missing... salt and butter maybe? Likewise, there's the aforementioned white rice: a wonderful food, but without a little salt at least, or some stew or something to ladle on top, it's just incomplete. A source of fresh vegetables to supplement the food, even if it's just fresh herbs or garnishes, would be priceless in a longer-term bug-in situation, like a long-time food shortage. Onions, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, whatever might grow well in your region with little or no maintenance in a small window garden or whatever else you can get to work would surely be worth their weight in gold if you can't buy them and have nothing else but canned and dried food to look forward to. Anyway, your mileage will likely vary according to taste, but the only way to find out what to stock and what to avoid, and what to add to your stash to make it a pleasure to eat when everything else is falling apart, is to actually eat a little of the food you stock every now and then, starting with the oldest food (so you can rotate the stock so that you use the old stuff before it loses quality sitting around), and replacing it during better times with newer stock. Personally, I think the occasional "survival night" after bringing in some new food is kind of fun for a change of pace: try a night without electric lights to get along by candlelight or lanterns or whatever your back up light options are, or a night where you cook on a grill or propane stove or whatever your backup cooking option is, etc., grab some of your older survival food, and try it out, and try to honestly picture what it would be like to live on that food for the longer time... does the food work for you? If not, can it be salvaged? Creative ways to dress up something that's salvageable are fun, if you invent a good recipe, jot it down and keep it with your survival food. And, sometimes you just find something that doesn't work - you'll want to find that out sooner than later, and if you and your family absolutely don't like it, get it out of your supply so that it doesn't take up room. Maybe it can be donated anonymously to a homeless shelter? Maybe donated to other preppers you know who might like it better? Maybe you know someone who is willing to trade something more useful? No sense in having it take up space, or trying to inflict it on yourself and your family if nobody likes it, and it's much better to find out early what the "losers" are than to find out in an emergency that you'll have to dispose of weeks worth of something you didn't realize was disgusting!

@@pietrayday9915 Holy Cow at the insight and perspective you have! Thanks a lot for that comment! I think you need to make a video.

I think some species and some dried cheese would make a difference to on these meals

I didn't do enough research and recently discovered that patriot pantry uses bio-engineered or gmo food ingredients

Thanks for the comment! Appreciate that you like the video. Yes, the whole “survival food” thing is new to me but I was a bit amazed at how good the food tastes. I think it’s worth it to have a safe stash of food stored somewhere just in case it’s ever needed.

Thanks for the comment and the information!

@@GrayTrend

Yes, that's what I do before adding ingredients. Less clump and cooks better that way.

Doubt it makes any difference

Wow! Thanks for the comment! Yes, you've done much more than me to get ready for any type of disaster that may force us to revert to survival food. Bests of luck to you and your family! We wish them well.

I agree with the short term vs long term pantry preps. Canned veggies, fruits, soups and meats are better for the 1-2 yrs rotating pantry. But for long term, i also only liked the taste of Mountain House. I agree with you though that it is better to buy freeze dried individual ingredients and seeds for the fresh. At least you could cook what you want. 😊

Thanks for the comment! Appreciate that you watched the video! I'm a fan of Ready Hour too.

Thanks brother!!!

@@GrayTrend I am looking at their The Ultimate in Water Filtration. The way things are going these days, I have ZERO faith in the government helping us in a disaster ( they they may just create ) You see Biden is being a total A$$ about MAUI, he gave BILLIONS of OUR money to Ukraine, money to Iraq and Afghanistan, billions for all these illegals invading our country. We have Americans with NOTHING because of that fire, dead not even located and he is giving each family unit , a lousy freaking $ 700 . OMG. Tells you we are on our own should anything happen.

Pray to the lord stock up wisely my friend a bit at a time

Learn how to filter/disinfect water in the wild. Add some purification such as life straws. It’s not hard

You will need a combination of many different foods , Freeze Dried, Canned, foods that need to be boiled, packaged etc. Three different ways to purify water.

@@GrayTrend Hey, man! What a nice thing to say! Thank you very much!

I spend like $5,000 on food a year... If I'm going to buy a year supply of patriot food it'll only cost me $2,800.... I'll be saving $2,200.... You have to take into consideration that it's only 1500 calories a day the Patriots supplies so I got to get another 500 calories... It's all the same The difference is you get a lot more sodium with the package food, but at least it's prepared and I just found out that it tastes pretty good from the guy in the video 😋😋😋

Thanks for the comment! Appreciate that you watched the video!

Thanks for the comment! Yes, I was mainly curious about this type of "long term storage" food, decided to get some and try it out. I was surprised at how good the food tastes. Sad to hear that you received some tainted food. That really bites. Best of luck to you and your family. Appreciate that you watched the video.

Thanks for the comment! I think its great that you're storing things in case of an emergency. You never know what'll happen. Best of luck to you and your family!

OK, looks like they place the number of calories per serving on each package (ex. Long White Rice is 170 calories per serving, serving size is 1/4 cup, and there are 10 servings in each package; Mac & Cheese is 320 calories per serving, serving size is 1/3 cup, and there are 4 servings per container). So you would have to open certain packages first and start rationing it out per serving size per day and use the opened packages first until the food is gone, then start opening the next unopened package you want to start eating food from and that is supposed to get you your ~2000 calories per day. Hope this helps as I learned from this as well. Best of luck to you and your Uncle!!!

Thanks for the comment! I didn't know what bucket wrenches were so I had to look it up. Here's one on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Bucket-Lid-Wrench-Plastic-Buckets/dp/B00F9JTK4Y I don't think I'll need one, but these are pretty cool! Thanks!!!

Thanks for your comment! Appreciate your insight into how to save money on the survival food and what you think about how it tastes. I'll have to check into those sales!

@@GrayTrend thanks for the reply and yes keep watching the prices on it because a normal price here is $247 for a 4-week supply. Then all the sudden they will offer a special on it which is usually $177 for the same 4 weeks Supply. Also check out the container of chocolate emergency survival tablets from the same place you get your food because a regular price is $29.95 and along with the food I just purchased I purchased two of those to add to my stash for $17.95 each which is a fantastic deal and they have a 10-year shelf life. Thanks again for the reply

@@Echo-eu4qz I have been doing the same as you when the sales, come I just got offered today the Elexa pro water filration, its reg $199 for the canister with one filter, they offered the canister with 3 filters today for $270, filters alone are$119 so I think Im gonna get this says you can use any fresh water source,,200 gals per filter

Thanks for the comment! I certainly hope it doesn’t happen. Best of luck to you and your family!!!

Thanks for the comment! Yes, you can eat portions from each bag. Only issue is, once you open the original bag, you'll have to seal what's left and it won't last the 25 years. So whatever bags you have open, I'd eat that food over time until it was gone first, then go to the next factory sealed bag. Hopefully you get what I mean here. Best of luck to you!!!

When we are faced with the decision to eat rats or cockroaches I don't think I'll mind eating a bad tasting chilimac

@@3v3ryd4yw1nn1n6 If you end up eating rats/roaches you didn't up your skills when you should have. Good luck eating that garbage.

Definitely a wise idea to try the food before you invest in large quantities of it. I've tried it, and it's a mixed bag of food that I found pretty tasty, food that needed just a little something extra, and food that was just too bland and depressing for my taste, with most of the stuff I tried leaning toward the better end of that spectrum. I didn't find anything I thought was inedible, but then, I never tried that mac-and-cheese! The smaller, short-term kits are a great way to try-before-you-buy in large quantities to see what works for you and your family: the 72-hour or 1-week kits or whatever aren't too expensive, and give a reasonable introduction to what you can expect. These MPS meal kits don't really stand on their own very well, in my opinion, you're better served adding some meats, vegetables, and other items to things like the traveler's stew, black bean soup, and whatever. Also, you're probably better off picking-and-choosing individual items from the online store to stock based on your personal preferences and tastes, while avoiding the stuff you know you wont like. Chili mac and southwestern rice and potato soup are things I know I'm going to like, so I bought those in bulk, while avoiding things like the mushroom pilaf or the creamy alfredo pasta were destined to creep me out and were best avoided. Better to pick-and-choose what you have already tried and know you like, than to get a pre-packaged "one year supply" of food and then find out on day one of the emergency that half of the stuff is inedible for you, and then you have to figure out how to trade it for something you will like without letting random starving strangers know you have the luxury of sitting on a mountain of food you can turn your nose up at! It's possible that some people aren't going to like this sort of thing at all - if you can't stand hot cereal, hamburger-helper, rice,and beans, then this sort of meal kit is going to be torture for you. Even if you like this food, keeping some other food stored with it is an excellent idea: canned food, other brands of survival food (like MREs or the Mountain House camping meals), and so on can give your stock of food a merciful variety it wouldn't otherwise have. And, it's notable that MPS will pack these kits with things that you can probably find cheaper on your own: beans, rice, macaroni and powdered cheese sauce, orange drink mix (basically Kool-ade), and the like are no doubt easy to find on the cheap at your local grocery, and some of those items should really form the foundation of any food prep supply (it's a good idea to buy bulk rice and beans from your local grocery, and use/rotate them regularly to keep them from going rancid over the long term!) Sure, they might not last for MPS' advertised 25-year shelf life* (with fine print) or whatever, but they'll last long enough, and are something that you should be using pretty regularly anyway so that they shouldn't really have a chance to sit around for 25 years! And if you're not buying or using beans and rice already, you probably shouldn't start on day one of a disaster with some supplied at a premium by MPS, because if you don't like beans and rice already, then you're not going to suddenly start liking it because an earthquake, flood, or awakening of Great Cthulhu destroyed the world! A small amount mixed into a food kit here and there isn't going to hurt anything even if you don't normally like beans and rice, but certainly there's no sense in having MPS sell you a large amount of them when they are cheaper from your grocery, or when you don't like them. Anyway, common sense applies here, as in all things, and I think it's common sense to try a little of something like this, before you commit to a large amount, and try to be realistic about whether this is something you can do over a period of days, weeks, months, or even years, before spending a lot of money on it.

Thank you for the comment! Appreciate you watching the video!

Thanks for the comment! Appreciate that you watched the video. I bought the stuff so I'd have a little peace of mind in case something bad happened and I needed to have some food at the ready.

Thanks for the comment! We didn’t try any other meals, but I plan to purchase a little more survival food in the near future so I’ll try something else and show it in another video.

Thanks for the comment! There are a couple of avenues I'll take to boil water in an emergency. I do have natural gas in my home and my stove works during power outages. If for some reason my stove stops working, I have 4 (20 pound) propane tanks and always keep at least 2 of them stored full. I also have 36 small 16 ounce propane tanks in storage in case of emergencies (there is no limit to their shelf life if stored properly in a cool dry place). I plan to use the propane to boil water and cook outside on my grill if needed. My way may not be the best way to do this. Several people plan for emergencies in several different ways. I've lived through hurricanes before and power outages that have lasted more than a week, week and a half at most, so this is how I plan to live through an emergency like that. Best of luck to you!!!

Thanks for the comment! Appreciate that you watched the video. Initially I was mainly just curious about the survival food. I watched several videos of people cooking it and eating it so I wanted to try it myself. I really don't expect that the food will keep for 25 years. I'll continue to sample it year by year and replenish now and again as the years go by. Again, thanks for the comment and the information! Very appreciated!

That's funny, I was just thinking about that myself. I do know that the newer MREs are in pouches and use a separate heater pouch with a small amount of water to cook the meal. I've also read that MREs have a shelf life of 5 to 7 years. I might get myself some and review it on the channel. It is supposed to be some pretty good food. Thanks for your comment!

5 year shelf life for a complete meal (MRE) vs. 25 shelf life for individual meal items. The MRE advantage goes to having a self contained cooking feature and some also include the water necessary for cooking. For myself I see this as food to get thru a period of Supply chain disruption and like the individual items as I usually have enough canned items to supplement the meal.

@@teutonicc Thanks for the comment! Yes, being new to MRE & Survival Food, it’s all very interesting to me. I do understand it is extremely helpful to have canned food to supplement any other type of emergency food you plan to use during an emergency. While searching to purchase MREs today, I found that they are much more expensive than the My Patriot, Ready Product, or ReadyWise 25 year “meals in a bucket” type survival food. Not that I wouldn’t want the MREs. I’ve heard a lot about how good they taste and how they have much more to eat, among other items, associated with each meal (like gum, crackers, matches, bread sticks, etc.). So, like I said, I’m learning as I go here and in a survival setting I’ll take what I can get. On Amazon it costs $120 for 12 MRE meals. I haven’t checked elsewhere, but if that’s the going rate for MREs, I’ll most likely have to stick with the other survival food. I might purchase a small amount of MREs, then supplement with canned food I have in the house and with my survival food as the days/weeks go by. What do you think?

Thank you for the comment. Great minds think alike! 😃

Thanks for the comment! Currently I have 24 canisters of propane in my storage shed. I'll use that once my two propane tanks are out. I'll cook on my grill and I'm working on getting a portable camping grill as well. Best of luck to you! Appreciate that you watched the video!!!

Thanks for the comment! Yes, I realize I’m not fully prepared for a long period of being without power and propane. I did purchase several small propane bottles and have them stored in my shed. My next purchase will be a medium size portable propane grill that should enable me to cook my food. I get what you’re saying. My problem is two fold. One, I’m new at this survival stuff & two, I’m no prepper. I’m learning and adding things as I go. Thanks again for watching my video and providing your insight!

It's called propane

@@SHEEPLESUCK Where are you going to get your propane when your personal supply runs out and all transportation has come to an end?

Thanks for the comment! Yes, we'll have to add some salt, pepper, or whatever spices you're into to make the food taste like you want. Thanks for the insight!

Thanks for the comment! Some people do keep, store, and reuse their oxygen absorbers. If you have leftover survivor food from an opened package, I’ve read that it’s best to transition the food and an oxygen absorber to a package that you can remove most of the oxygen from and reseal.

@@GrayTrend thanks for the reply ! ok, so i dont have to save them just curious ,thanks.

Thanks for the comment! No, it's more of a combination of the two buckets provides one person with 4 weeks of food. For instance, the packages of pancake mix are pretty large compared to the other bags of food and the pancake mix was all in one bucket so it's more of a combination of the two buckets with their food packages that gets you up to 4 weeks of food. On their website they do sell a 2-Week Emergency Supply bucket. You can check that out here if you'd like: www.mypatriotsupply.com/collections/all/products/2-week-food-supply-70 Hope this helps and hope you have a great day!

Great question! There are people who make their own survival food and I applaud them for it. I currently don't know enough about it to put my own survival food together. It does sound interesting though. There are some people in the comments here that make their own survival food. I say that's great for them. Maybe one day I'll be able to do that.

I get it, I just don't know enough at the moment to be able to put together my own survival food. That's why I went the My Patriot and Ready Project route. Best of luck to you!

Thanks for the comment! Wow! I've never heard of mango lime chili. Definitely sounds different!

Thanks for the comment! Well, you know... I do like her.

Thanks for the comment/question! It's supposed to be 8 servings. Hope that helps!

You could use half (4 servings) and save the other half in the pouch. It wouldn't last more than a few weeks after it's opened though, so you'd have to use the other half within that time period.

The supplies are usually sold for one person. I split it in half for my wife. That's why I've purchased a bit more. Now I have enough for both of us to last around 3 months. If we have to survive longer than that, it'll be a whole other story about survival.

@@thetruthhurts599 Thanks for the comment! I know, it can get a bit comical can't it?

​@@GrayTrend I got the 3 month supply and also the 6 pack of #10 cans of rice with the 30year shelf life.

I’ve heard MREs are very good/very tasty. So, I’d guess MREs would taste better than this survival food.

I may get my hands on some MREs and do my own taste test!

Thanks for the comment! I live near DC, so in my opinion, if something happens that causes a prolonged power outage and disrupts our ability to go to supermarkets to purchase food, water, and other supplies, I doubt we'll be able to stay in this area past a month. We'd have to move out after a couple of days with as much as we can take with us and head somewhere where there are less people and hopefully someone we know very well that will take us in. I hope that never happens. What I'm focused on with this food is the two weeks without power because I've gone through that before. Thanks again for your comment and opinion on this subject.

Look for the Butterfly symbol on packaging to keep GMOs out of your shopping cart. Consumers concerned about GMOs seek to avoid them, and search for products that don't contain them. The Bioengineered Food labeling law is ineffective at finding GMOs and avoiding GMOs, largely because of restrictions, loopholes and exemptions. Too much falls outside of the law's purview for it to be effective. That's why the Butterfly remains the most rigorous, transparent and trustworthy label for GMO avoidance. I guess I’ll look for the butterfly myself from now on, but in time of need in an emergency, before I starve, I’ll eat the survival food. Best of luck to you!

Thanks for the comment! Appreciate that you watched the video. You’re very knowledgeable.

Craaaaaazzzzyyyy

Thanks for the comment! I've had two recent dealings with My Patriot Supply, both online purchases. One purchase in May and it took 3 business days for the delivery and one purchase a couple of weeks ago that took 3 business days to deliver as well. Luckily I haven't had to contact their service department. Hopefully you were able to cancel the order. If that happened to me I'd feel the same way. Hope you have a great 4th of July weekend!

I had to wait months for my freeze dried food, it eventually came. If you're expecting 2 day shipping from ANY of the freeze dried foods manufacturers right now, you're being unreasonable.

You probably ordered from 4patriots they suck

Thanks for the comment! I'll keep the spoon out.

Thanks for the comment! Yes, some people do.

Thanks for the comment! A lot of people tell me about Mountain House meals when I tell them I have some videos about survival food. A couple were avid hikers and they bring Mountain House packs with them on their hikes and cook them along the way. I do need to look into Mountain House and see what it's like. As anyone can tell, I'm very new to all of this survival food stuff so I'm learning as I go. Appreciate that you watched the video!

Thanks for the comment! Looks like that's me! I had no idea I was supposed to tear off the plastic strips before opening the bucket. Like I said, I'd never seen freeze dried survival food before and was interested so I went ahead and purchased some. Then I took a video of my experience receiving, opening, reviewing, and tasting the stuff. Honestly, I didn't realize you were supposed to rip off the plastic "retaining" strip until I bought some Ready Patriot survival food and opened it. Appreciate that you watched the video.

@@GrayTrend Well done... For in every man's mind he is right and his actions are just but the Lord shall ponder the heart for every man possesses a mind...

Thanks for the comment! Why the heck didn’t you tell me this before I bought all this survival food! Did you see that I bought some fresh meat too from Survival Frog?

I thought I was being quiet. I need to stop eating with my mouth open.

Thanks for the comment! I wish I had a generator. I’ll look into getting one.
