thanks for watching
Wasn't Hormel the company that made canned rations during WW2? I do believe just about every offering then is still available now. Thank you for yet another great tip, Blackie. One of my favorite channels.
This is an excellent idea, picked up some hormel chili Mac today. Next field day out I'll be trying lunch your way. Thanks for sharing. Been watching more and more of your content and am loving it!
👍knorr's just add water pastas in the pouch along with tuna or chicken in a pouch offer packable variety, easy prep, and is budget friendly.
My biggest problem with pre made food is the salt levels. The other nutrients are fine but the salt will kill you long term.
These entrees look like they have a reasonable salt content.
Though the calories are a bit low, eating a few a day wouldn't take you too far beyond daily recommended, plus balanced with some other shelf stable but low salt foods would be nice.
Makes them much more appealing even if they only have like an 18 month shelf life
I’ve had a few of those. They’re actually pretty good. The spaghetti is really good.
New subscriber. I was talking with Matt Mercer at the Blade Show yesterday (Saturday) and when I told him I was from Alabama he said I should check out your channel. A few minutes later you walked up. It was a pleasure meeting you and having a little conversation. I will definitely try and attend some of your get togethers down in LA (Lower Alabama for non indigenous folks). I never even considered this type of meal choice for camping/hiking. Thanks for that idea.
When I travel by vehicle-I wrap potato, carrot, onion etc plus a chicken in tinfoil. When getting close to meal time, stop, lift the hood & place wrapped food on the manifold. Travel 20-30 minutes, stop & turn the food to cook the other side. Travel another 20-30 minutes, stop & remove the food parcels-unwrap & enjoy a hot meal.
I agree! Ready to eat food items you can pick up at the grocery store are plentiful and much more economical than one of those expensive add boiling water backpacking meals found in the camping department. Canned/packaged meat and vegetables, beans, soups and chili, rice and pasta dishes, cereal, oatmeal, and breakfast bars, etc. I’m going to have to give those Hormel Completes a try now that you’ve made the suggestion. Almost anything that is shelf stable,meaning that it has already been cooked and just needs to be heated to taste. No refrigeration required. Packaging for the items bought at the grocery store might add more bulk and weight than those backpacking meals? I guess there is always some sort of trade off. Thanks for sharing these ideas! – Tennessee Smoky
Good ideal my friend.
You’re right! I’ve been doing that for close to 20 years.
Awesome! These are so easy and good tasting! I have a couple of tortillas to dip in them while I’m eating, and it’s a great dinner!
WOW! I eat those things all the time at home but never thought of them as "camp food". I am enlightened! Thanks Blackie!
Good idea,have followed the same concept for years. I love M.R.E. meals. But times are hard.. We must be frugal to survive in difficult times.
The meals are really good. I eat them for lunch at work.
Awesome idea and advice. I think I ill try it on my next fishing trip. It will save me some money, time, and I can carry less stuff.
Could not tell you how many cans of canned spagetti I shared with my brother when we were out hunting or fishing. One time it was late November and the can was frozen from the trunk of his car. Set the can on the engine block and melted the outer layer, then ate it with a wooden spoon. As he used to say, "It will keep your stomach walls from rubbing together."
Blackie,
This might sound moronic, but..
I watched your Swedish cook set chili video. I have recently acquired one of these cook sets (they are getting hard to find).
The chili looked good for a trial run…. The video was unclear as to how much of the mix you added to the Quart of boiling water. was it half the bag?, and how long did you keep it boiling after it was added?
Please advise,
Thanks, REM
I've eaten my share when I worked out in the field,but I'll never eat anything in plastic like that again,its bad for your body and give you the shits…
I myself put food in my canteen cup and warm it up in order to be safe,if im on the go be fruits or veggies or trail mix better yet be better off with sos bars…but I'll say this I'll kill what I need to eat,regardless the rules and laws…that's survival
THIS is why i love watching yours and other people's videos. Its a total head shaker on how i didnt think of it
Oh an if you are cooking for more than one …or have had a tough day and are really hungry, a packet of dried Ramen broken up and added to the beef stew stretches it quite a bit, if you have one of the fruit dryers …just a bag of frozen mixed vegetables packs down real small and and sprinkling of them turns a regular package of Ramen into a cup of noodles or can add a little color and texture to an other wise kinda mushy freeze dried meal.
There are a number of items like this. Tried many. Recently I have started dehydrating ( just the air dryer type no fancy freeze drying yet) just regular pasta meals that I have cooked… spaghetti sauce dries rather well and rehydrate about like mountain house with just boiling water. Not Michelin restaurant quality but in my parts I am most often out in the snow and cold …and ANY thing warm beats a frozen ham sandwich and a busted up snickers bar.
👍 Yeah ! Can food ,MRI, when I often is without fresh water and no fuel here in the bushes. It's Ok.
i think it's from sue bee they're called lunch in a can they're a can of either tuna salad or chicken salad and crackers in a pack for about i haven't looked at the price lately though but they were $1.50-$2.50! i've seen some carrying those kids lunchables as well as these salad kits they've got out! a lot of the time we'll get those jack link chubs some blocks of cheese and crackers for a no cook meal as well! we've taken to getting those breakfast bars and biscuits in place of clif bars for the trail just as good but a damn sight cheaper at the dollar stores!!
