OK, firstly, this video is LONG! Skip Timecodes are provided for the main meals; more detailed timecodes are further below.
Nextly, there's a fair bit of flex and cheating in this video - that is, I brought along drinkable water, cooking utensils and a little bit of oil for frying.
Finally, not everything in the ration pack got tested in this video, and in each meal, I modified each meal by supplementing foraged ingredients. The remaining canned items I will open in a future video.
I'm exploring this ration pack in collaboration with Alana from A Kayfabe - here are links to Alana's videos (check them out as her pack was different to mine, despite being the same menu number):

My grandfather told me once about a ration pack he had. It contained caramel candies, cigarettes, and chewing gum. The caramels were meant to be surges of calories and sugar to keep you going and the gum was meant to keep you going when the cigarettes ran out. While that energy drink mix probably isn't tasty, I'd bet it comes with a lot more vitamins and electrolytes than his caramels. In the end, it would keep you going longer to do what you did today; forage for actual food sources. But holy moly. He said he'd rather find no food in the woods than get stuck with the pack that had menthols in them. I love your videos. Always inspires me to go out into the woods with my little guy. Thank you very much.

Hallucinogenic mushrooms tend to be unpredictable even when cooked and those toxins, while it's true that they would degrade, they will never be completely gone and it's just not good for the liver/kidneys. So it's really not worth the risk imo.

About the Fly agaric toxicity bit, having looked into this it's pretty clear that muscarine is highly toxic however as wiki says "Muscarine has been found in harmless trace amounts in Boletus, Hygrocybe, Lactarius and Russula. Muscarine is only a trace compound in the fly agaric Amanita muscaria; the pharmacologically more relevant compounds from this mushroom are ibotenic acid and muscimol." Ibotenic acid is the main neurotoxin that could cause damage, though a large % of this can be converted into muscamol via decarboxylation (typically by heating/ drying). This leaves you with a relavitly harmless albeit psychoactive mushroom. In any case all 3 of these chemicals are water soluable so if you just want to give those beauties a taste test you can boil and discard the water before ading to your dish.

@AtomicShrimp 4 жыл бұрын

I've been foraging most of my adult life (and a little bit of less-adventurous foraging such as blackberries, since as long as I can remember) - I just kind of picked up all the ideas along the way. No, maggots in fungi are not a reliable indicator of edibility for humans; insects have quite different body chemistry to people - they are immune to many things that will kill us, and vice versa. The only way to be sure a fungus is edible is to identify the species and be sure of that identification

Obviously this is an old comment, but if you do decide to start learning to forage, I'd recommend you find an expert that would be willing to go with you or allow you to go with them on a foraging exercise. Videos and pictures are good starting guides, but, especially for mushrooms, you really need someone in person to help you learn to identify edibles properly. It does take years of practice; however, foraging can be a brilliant hobby!

@runaravenscraft5314 3 жыл бұрын

This is fascinating. I must say I enjoyed the foraging and survival meal aspect of this more than just the actual ration packs! Also, I've eaten fly agaric a few times - it's very easy to cook them and neutralise the toxic (incl. psychoactive) substances in it. I find it a really nice taste. Very earthy and woody taste but not in an unpalatable way. It is also really very easy to prepare for psychoactive purposes, neutralising the muscarine (and converting the ibotenic acid to muscimol), though I advise readers responsibility with it and not trying anything without research first and/or being with an experienced person. It's not like your normal British "liberty cap" magic mushroom. Atomic is right in cautioning against muscarine and that is why it must be prepared first, and the ibotenic acid will make you feel ill too (which is why you convert it in prep).

@thomasherzog86 4 жыл бұрын

im not in a position to give you advice and i constantly fail to follow it myself, but arguing with ignorant people is useless. if they want a fly mushroom (thats what its called in german) to be edible, nothing will change their minds. i recently argued with people demanding to know that humans can live like a carnivore eating only meat... because carbs are supposed to cause all sorts of diseases. its also funny that people tell you to pick more mushrooms than you need, since here in austria that wouldnt even been allowed. there are italiens frequently crossing the border to collect tons of them to sell on the market. thats why we have restrictions.

I cant believe ive been missing out on all this great content. I use to watch for just the scam videos but after watching a few cooking ones, its as much of a joy to watch (maybe even better!). I wish to one day become educated about wild foods/plants to the point i can just eat it. This reminded me a lot of when my dad use to take me and my twin sister to the forest all the time when we were younger, it was so fun but boy was it a walk. Ive never been to a forest and seen animals let alone COWS! (Besides the wild dog every now and then😂) Maybe im not going far out enough. Keep up the good content!

I'm with you on the fly agaric. I've had it before for recreational purposes, and of all of the psychedelic mushrooms I've tried (quite a few) they're the least fun/pleasurable ones to take. You're absolutely correct, you really don't know just how much toxin is in an individual specimen, and it's quite possible to land one's self in the emergency room. It probably won't unalive you, but you're going to get to a point where you might think of unalive as preferable to your current state. I got lucky, and only got very mild upset stomach, but two of my fellow adventurers didn't boil them long enough and got quite sick indeed. It's one thing to be "tripping" and quite another thing to be "tripping" while mildly poisoned at the same time. Zero out of five stars, would not recommend.

I know you must see me clearly travelling through all your videos as I've only recently found your channel, but I thoroughly enjoy everything you do. Though I won't be venturing out as much the way you do, I've really grew an interest over a year in planting my own flowers and veg. I've found it very hard to keep them alive and watched here and others to try and learn and it is going well. I want to begin foraging in future. Thank you for the content.

I am so amazed at the fact that there aren't rampant blackberry brambles everywhere! Here in many cooler parts of Australia, blackberries are a feral weed of of massive proportions! Perhaps it is having the deer grazing the forest that keeps them in check as I believe they do eat blackberry foliage. Cattle, sheep and pigs don't eat blackberry foliage, but I know goats do. Feral pigs, goats, water buffalo, camels, rabbits and deer are all a problem in various areas here as well. It is fascinating. Perhaps it is the fact that the climate is cooler over winter than here, though blackberries do seem to naturalise in the mountains here where there is snow occasionally in winter.

I think it's because blackberries belong here - they are kept in check by both the conditions and a host of other factors such as insects, fungi and competition from other plants. It's often like this with species introduced somewhere else - without all the other things to balance them, they grow out of control

The foraging stuff I just picked up over the years from books, TV, web resources, other videos, etc (actually, that's pretty much how I learned anything about anything)

Excellent video, I and my stomach despise mushrooms but now I know a few to eat and how to prepare them if I'm ever in a survival situation. And if the situation is that dire I can pass out on a hallucinogenic one instead.

I worked at an empty Elizabethan country house, which had extensive gardens and a gardener. I was allowed to pick or dig whatever I wanted from the kitchen garden, which was great, as I had fresh fruit and veg for the two years I was there - I took a fair bit home, too. The gardener was a nice bloke, and showed me all the edible fungi that grew there. Again, I could pick whatever I wanted, except for Chanterelles, which he sold to a local gastro pub. He often gave me some, anyway, or 'Horn Of Plenty' mushrooms, which, confusingly, are sold as 'Trompettes De Mort', or 'Trumpets Of Death'. No, me neither.
