Something else to take in to consideration is, witch company makes their products in the USA not outside, and that is why I went with my patriot supply

Great bonding event for father & daughter 👍🏻‼️ Appreciate the review, because I have both 😊.

Great test. Nice to see Dad and Daughter doing things together ❤️

After doing a fair amount of research, I ordered quite a bit of the ready hour from my patriot supply, as well as a sample from legacy foods, a sample from valley food storage, and I have a couple buckets of the wise food storage from about 7 years ago. I agree with you, the ready hour is pretty good for what it is. They offer a good value for the serving size. I still stock more than the recommended serving size because it’s a little unrealistic, but they all seem to be that way. Good review sir, and young lady.

Spot on parenting and daughtering!

Wasn’t sure to get ‘My Patriot’ or ‘4Patriot’. Then I saw something called ‘Patriotic Patriots Patriot for Patriots (now with even MORE Patriot!)’. I knew THIS one had to be the best, because there was just SO much more ‘Patriot’. Turns out it was overwhelmingly patriotic, with just the right amount of Patriot to keep it patriotic when you just need that extra Patriot to get you through the day. The only thing that could have made it BETTER is if they had added some ‘tactical’. Hopefully next time.

I have two daughters (8 and 10) I share my survival interest with them. They love checking things out in the woods and trying new tactics. Love seeing you and your daughter. Raise her strong! God bless

It looks like you guys had fun. I really appreciate the effort at comparison.

Thanks for doing this! I couldn't decide before! And thanks for doing this with your daughter! Daddy time is so so important to little girl's

Thanks for the honest feedback. Great video including your daughter! Thanks again.

Keep up the videos, I’m a fan with how you use your daughter in the taste test. Kids reactions help me make up my mind lol

Adventure Girl did a great job! I just ordered the Ready Hour Mac, I ordered the case pack so I could try one. And leave the others! I order from all over. My favorite is of course Mountain House for taste and meat being included, but My Patriot Supply is great for staples, like pancakes, rice, mashed potatoes etc. Great Job!

The biscuits and gravy are awesome

Good Reporting

Rather than buying super expensive prepper food packs, I picked up a 2nd -hand vacuum food sealer ($10) to package off-the-shelf items from the grocery store in air-tight envelopes. So far, these have remained 100% sealed, safe and tasty up to 6.5 years (so far and counting). While most commercial prepper food packs claim to last for 20 - 25 years, I can't see a realistic need to keeping the same food on the shelf for a quarter century. The food is better tasting with a wider meal selection variety. I'd rather cycle the food out at least every 5 - 7 years.

Whoever is the first to market with dehydrated water packets the clear winner for me.

Thank you adventure girl! Just bought the 2 week tub of ready hour.

Thanks AD and AG!

Appreciate the live review , leaving a like and a comment and I shared!

Thanks for doing this comparison. Like you said, you see these ads all the time on various social medias. But I think many people are afraid to order without knowing what you will really be getting. Here there was a clear victor. That being said...I haven't seen anything out there that beats Mountain House. But, for what these are for...an actual emergency situation...I would be glad to have any of them. Keep up the good work. Glad to see its a family effort too!

That's good to hear ☺ - ready hour is what 95% of my stock pile is lol. Mostly the ready hour #10 cans, and I have bucket of mountain house lol

I have both of these companies in my stack which I have not tried ,so I'm glad you and your little princess are doing a taste test ,thanks for sharing 👍🤗

You're not going to concern yourself with flavor, when the store shelves are empty, and the sh*t hit the fan.

Great job Adventure Girl... *You Rock !* You too Dad ! Liked/Subscribed !

Thank you for making this video!

VERY honest review

Very Cool...Thanks for doing this comparison :-)

Enjoyable and informative video!

Glad to see your adventures and comparisons I purchased one of products....interesting values and packaging

I’m glad I saw this my grand babies will enjoy it at my cabin I bought several buckets and haven’t tried them yet thanks for the info y’all 😀

I haven't tried it yet. I ordered from 4Patriots but want a big kit, so I'm watching to see which is better.

New subscriber. thank you for the content.

I have not tried any of the survival foods.if I ever have to eat them I will like them and just be thankful that I have them..I keep herbs and spices to help enhance whatever I eat...Good taste testing Adventurers...thanks. ✌️❤️💥😇🖖

You want a great tasting freeze dried food try "Happy Yak" made in Quebec Canada. Real food like home made - lots of interesting choices like, "Mom's Dried Tomatoe and cheese Macaroni, or Shrimp Curry with Rice, and Coconut Thai soup, many more, all better then even equivalent Mountain House. Go on line well worth trying.

Love the father and daughter team.

i just bought a 3 Month Supply from 4Patriot. plus they give 2 -72 hour, the Solar Cooker and a bunch of other stuff for $597. not bad price. can't wait to see how many Bins and packs ill get when it arrives lol

I got the 3 month supply Ready - Hour. Made the right choice. Thank you

The mouton house spaghetti with meat sauce is my favorite I just wished it was cheaper and made in bulk ! Lol I’d buy a bunch of it !!

Adventure girl? That will inspire her for life, she will not even know that she is following that name it will be subconscious. 👍

lol adventure girl and dad great! Keep doing it!!

great job young girl 👌 great video both of you 👍 i will go with ready hour , 4 weeks kit plus a proteine kit , plus a fruit kit , plus their milk powder , and maybe their dry bars . like 1000$ cad maybe ... Maybe add some pills like calcium , fiber , vitamins , and make sure to have plenty of water , should be very good 😋 if needed

Valley Food Storage expensive but high and quality and delicious also Peak.

Ive ordered the 4patriot food kits because thats the first one i saw and had heard of. The mac & cheese is really good, and the creamy vegetable & rice is too I had 2 72 hr kits from 4patriots ladt winter when i couldnt get out as i dont hav a car and have to rely on public transit. It was very good that i had them. But i suppose it comes down to personal choice. Ive not tried any other brand. But i will, thanks for the review. Ive ample of 4patriots and will be giving half of my supply to my son as its just me and he has a wife and 2 children.

Devil's advocate means pretending to against the popular choice in an argument, just to ensure it is discussed fully.

I got mainly 4patriots food storage. I got a ready wise pack. I may get some mypatriots supply also

Watching you and Adventure Girl inspired me to try one of my emergency pack foods. I made the 4Patriots Grammy's sweet oatmeal. I don't care for oatmeal either but my hubby does. The pack serves 8 and I made it as instructed. It was watery when I followed the directions so I let it stand for about 10 minutes and then put it back on the stove until it bubbled again. It was pretty tasty. Adding fruit would be excellent. The only thing I didn't like was having to make 8 servings at once. The pack was not resealable.

I love MY PATRIOTS SUPPLY

If you have water to reconstitute the meal you can overcome the higher sodium content. Tastes better and you might need salts to keep water inside your body.

I try to buy evenly from both companies for the slight menu differences, price point is better on my patriot than patriot supply. But over all I try to buy from both. My patriots is awesome because they have 25 year shelf life pet food as well

The one looks like Cheddar and the other looks like white cheddar

Thanks Adventure Girl! Oh and tell your dad to let you choose when it is important! Rules of thumb on freeze dried foods. Mountain House and a few other major backpacker brands are so very accurate in the water requirements. With other brands following the directions often leads to soupy sloppy goop. So watered down it is almost unpalatable. But try a couple or more of the different meal items and adjust water amounts. They need tweaking to get amounts of water right. Why I don't know. That isn't ok with me but if you have a budget the lower cost options can be made better. You know those little packets of cheese and pepper flakes at the pizza place as well as other flavor packets you can find. They can be added to up the flavor of the less palatable brands. Adding canned ham or other meats helps them too. Fry the ham or Vienna sausages etc. for more flavor.

Thanks for the comparison. It is in line with some other reviews. Agree that mountain house is the standard to beat. I can’t tell from the video if the pots are non-stick, but if they are I would avoid using metal utensils because it may scrape the non-stick coating off into the food.

Thank You. Beautiful Video. This is what is all about. God Bless.

All these processed, dried, food storage meals can be improved nutritionally and become tastier with the addition of vegetables and some kind of meat. That is why I also store #10 cans of freeze-dried or dehydrated green beans, English peas, diced carrots, broccoli, spinach, celery, onions, tomato dices and butternut squash as well as #10 cans or Mylar pouches of freeze-dried ground beef, roast beef, ham, roast pork, sausage, chicken and turkey. One thing I dislike about a lot of these processed and packaged food storage meals that come in food buckets or boxes compared to Mountain House meal pouches is how long they need to cook and how much propane or butane fuel you have to use on your camp stove. With Mountain House pouch meals you just have to bring water to boil and then stir it into the pouch of dried food and wait a few minutes. And you can eat directly from the pouch instead of having to wash a cooking pot and a dinner plate with some of your stored water that you had to heat on the camp stove. With Mountain House you just have to wash a spork or spoon and clean-up is done. For my money, if I am actually going to have to cook the food and then wash the cook pot and dinner plate, I'll just save some money and pack in Mylar with oxygen absorbers some inexpensive dry food from the supermarket. So many of the calories in these food storage buckets come from oatmeal, dried pasta, white rice and instant potato flakes -- all foods I can buy much cheaper at the supermarket. I can make my own dried sauces for these basic starchy high calorie foods (powdered milk, sugar or honey powder and ground cinnamon for the oatmeal; cheese sauce powder, flavored salt, tomato powder, butter powder, garlic powder, chili powder etc. for the savory dishes).

You're the only video comparing 4 patriots to the competition and they're just now doing ads. Luckily I review before I buy. I really don't want that oatmeal!!

Thank you for sharing. Please include calorie counts on the meals.

Nice, wholesome and not woke. Very good!

Thanks for this info guys. Well done. Adventure Girl was great. I haven’t tried any freeze dried food but this video made me lean AWAY from 4Patriot. Thanks.

I have both of them and I like both.

another site weighed it, its 10 ozs difference. , basically One extra package

The problem with your analysis is that is not the ounces, but how many calories.

Adventure Girl's first pick was right! I've tested at least 16 different emergency food rations and Ready Hour by Patriots Supply was one of my favorites for volume and taste. 4Patriots was near the bottom, not worth the price, for what you get in volume or taste.

Compared Mountain House with 4 Patriots Mac & cheese. Patriot was for ,4 people. You must boil 8 cups water, stir in, stir and stir for 20 minutes. Then you need bowls to serve in. Truthfully I don't believe the macaroni was pre cooked before freeze dried. The macaroni is the same size was what I have in my shelf. That's why it took 20 minutes to cook. Not tasty, but filling..would only eat in dire need. The Mountain House is two serving Boil extra water, I needed extra water. It smells good, looks good. No question is was precooked then freeze dried. You add boiling water to the pouch, stir and seal with zip lock. The bottom has a fold that holds bag up, no spilling. Added more boiling water. It was creamy, moist, flavorful. Plus it only took 5 minutes. Nothing needed to add for flavor. If feeding adults, may need a van of corn to fill up on. It was hands down the better choice. I did not compare price because it was about taste, plus you only need a spoon. No clean up!!!

I'm suprised. I looked at 4patriots and Ready Hour a few days ago and the 4Patriots costs more. I'd assume it had better ingredient or nutrition.

Thanks so much for this informative video. I looked up the current numbers of calories/day for each of these. My Patriot Supply: 2,000+ calories/day 4Patriots: 1,253 calories/day So, there is a dramatic difference is how well you are going to function and feel between these two packages. In fact the 4Patriots website contains warnings about this issue. Unfortunately, I can’t have either of these, as I can’t have any milk products. I would be very interested in a video about what, if anything, is available for those with food allergies.

Very interesting video I wish more people did these taste test reviews. My problem with all this freeze dried foods and mres is I cant have gluten and dairy primarily but also alot of other things I'm supposed to avoid that upset my stomach because of my crohns I found that ready hour has good options for me with their beans rice trio kit and the bulk chicken and beef and their vegetables and fruits. Wish more companies made dairy free and gluten free options that also didn't have alot of chemicals and ingredients you can't read or you know are probably bad for you. Anyone have any recommendations please let me know.

I knew that accent was a Carolina one 🤔 I said I bet he's either from north or south Carolina and I called it south but I was close dang it 👌👍🤣

Might I suggest that it’s not the ounces, but the calories that matter most.

The 4 bag kit is $25 and the 3 bag kit is $27 both on amazon. I'd say ready hour is a better deal

Thank you so very much . Are they both run by vets ???

What was the cost difference between the two? I just bought some stuff recently from 4patriots because of the offer they were running. Everyone needs to stock up on some shelf ready supplies.

seems like a lot of fuel vs something like mountain house that just needs boiled water

Correct me if I’m wrong but you are going to want sodium in a SHTF scenario, no? High fat, high sodium (aka electrolytes)

How much 💰, did u pay for each 72 hour kit ??? I'm thinking of buying both, because I like to have a variety/assortment of different foods.

I buy a mix of all brands for variety.

4Patriot has payment options. Unsure about the My Patriot Supply, huge for a lot of folks 🤷🏻‍♀️

Have you tried Readywise or Augason Farms?

Bonjour friend, packets/buckets can be stored anywhere, attic, garage, basement, etc and they don't need to be refrigerated? 🤔

What's the little stove called that didnt have to he plugged in? If we stocked up on like jugs of distilled water are those safe to drink/use indefinitely?

Where can you buy Mountain House emergency food for the lowest price?

Mac and cheese always salty- purifies cheese

Looks like I made the right decision......whew

We just opened one of our 72 hr packs from 4 Patriots. The oatmeal was nothing special at all. We did like the Mac and cheese. The creamy rice and chicken smelled rancid as I opened the bag. I added the water and boiled the contents according to directions, the smell was still present .I served it and almost gagged as the first spoonful went down. It had a horrible aftertaste and stung the back of my throat. We will never eat that again! We thought this brand had a 25yr shelf life especially when it contains preservatives that they claim could last that long. Buy your own staples and spices to get you through, we can come up with much better than 4 Patriots! Thx for comparing.

would you tell me, at what altitude you cooked these meals? ( Mac and Cheese) dinners. I live at 7,000 feet elevation and the 4 patritots packs don't cook well at this altitude! Hard and crunchy elbows which you can not eat! Help! Looking for long lasting foods to eat just in case!

Would freeze dried food be better than what comes in like MREs? Or does it matter? I guess it depends on how much it is and the taste quality. It probably doesn't matter about how it taste since It would be food for an emergency/camping but I'd like it to taste okay at least

Have you tried Thrive Life freeze dried foods?

Instead bought a three month supply from 4 Patriots but I have never tried any before yet ??

I ordered the three months supply of food from 4 patriots for $597 and I am so disappointed every thing that was on the video the woman unpacked in the two tubs a third of was was promised to me was not even in the boxes now I seen your video and wish I knew about ready hour if 4patriots don't make it right I will no longer order from them so I hope they honors there word and silvers what I paid for

Happy Yak is really good.

The problem I have with all these things is allot of it I can't eat do to a combination of food allergies and being diabetic with a bad heart (high fat and sodium is so not good). I have looked over several of these and because of my limitations, it would be a waste of money for me to get any of them. Which is kind of sad if you think about it.

I don't know how old your daughter is, but she seems pretty smart.

I need more veggies, is there a reason these are mostly starch? Is that because veggies wouldn't last???

If you were in God's country you would be in Michigan, lol Good vid keep em coming.

So than, Ready Hour has more Sodium?

You know what is patriotic? Not ripping off your fellow countrymen for a quick buck.

4 patriots is bland but wont upset your stomach and hands down 4 patriots in an emergency

I did a comparison on 4patriots also. Disgusting product with less than desirable results to say the least.

My Grandson and I tried the ready hour mac.we couldn't eat it.I tried some soup.it was tolerable.

Is mt house better,and you don’t have to cook which is more convenient for big out

I voted for your accent!💖
