I enjoy watching these types of challenge videos, especially when they pertain to preparedness topics, though I tend not to have the desire to try such challenges myself any longer. It’s an interesting challenge nonetheless, in that, he doesn’t just eat the freeze dried food for thirty days, he also:
- cooks with off-grid methods (and quickly realizes what works)
- tracks his mood and bowel movements (and the problem he had most don’t)
- talks about the foods he liked and didn’t enjoy (and how surprised he was)
- lays out problems he had processing meals one at a time (mostly the time involved)
- explains how to make meal prep more efficient (this might be cheating post-disasters, but I get it)
- discusses how much of a difference small additions of salt and butter made (and why it’s not just about his morale)
- talks about the time involved related to meal prep, cleanup, and more
- mentions a few ways he “cheated” with coffee and noctine
- and plenty more
Ultimately, he really lays out everything that went good and bad so that you can make informed choices about the foods you should be eating and storing for the long-term. And, while he recommends freeze-dried foods are useful for this purpose, he also explained why they’re not perfect and should never be the only food you have stored. Try gardening, stockpile canned goods, and do whatever else you can to supplement these long-term foods…
