These long format videos are the business, loads of info and perfect for watching during lunch. Good to see that you've got tea in your brew kit, it's the first item I pack whenever I'm away for a day or more. Best morale booster ever!
Very well done and much needed lesson. I’ve always been physically active, I eat reasonably healthy, and I’ve never drank alcohol or energy drinks. I don’t know much about fitness and nutrition and every time I try to research more about it I get bogged down with anyone’s and everyone’s opinion. This sort of simple straightforward guidance is very helpful. Bravo man 👏
Making a library of your videos. One of the most genuine channels out there. The information given is concise into the point. Given from a position of understanding and experience. Can't wait for you to have the recognition you deserve. Millions of subs.
Mate, the bit about it being easier to stay in shape than get in shape hits home. I was a competitive judoka for a decade, then life got in the way. Now in my early 30s its a big hill to get back over, but still an easier job than some of my mates who are only now starting to realise how much the years of desk work have hit them.
You did a excellent job condensing all this information in 42:38. This kind of information was is close to a semester of a proper nutrition course. The internet with quality information provides invaluable information for lots of younger folks and even us that are older. I hate to think how much money I spent on fitness, nutrition, recipes, and weight lifting books before the age of TH-cam. The best point out of so many great ones in your video is the importance of understanding empty calories. Thanks for taking your time to explain this to folks.
Some popular field snacks and nutrients For a weekend in the field where you care about energy: Bagels and Peanut Butter, Tuna Packets, Beef Jerky, Trail Mix, and Honey. Hydration aids Himalayan salt, sports drink mix i.e. propel. hoist.
I have learned more about fueling than I ever knew before from riding mountain bikes on XC trails and riding gravel. Ive ridden some 100k gravel races and fueling and hydration make all the difference. Its nothing to burn 1000 calories in an hour and if you do not stay on top of your fueling and hydration your day is over The products cyclists use are compact lightweight and calorie dense. Exactly what a soldier also needs.
I did a mtb race in south africa years ago, vredefort dome . one of my water bottles jumped out of my side pocket, i had to find somewhere with water, all i found was a dude walking with a water barrel on his head for the radiator in his car, it had a taste of diesel , was disgusting, probably nasty river water , but it kept me going till the end!
Respect on not consuming dairy products. Its really worst drink to our body, plus its creepy then you think about where it comes from. Thank you for sharing all this outstanding information, im 32 at moment, have lot of healthy habits, but you just gave me the new more intelligence plan to follow. All the best for you man.👍
I appreciate your videos alot. "I don't eat dairy" continues to explain using cream every morning first thing lol. Milk is good for me But I'm Irish we probably digest it differently I use dried fruits & nuts, rolled oats, dehydrated potatos, whole Egg powder, whey protien, BEEF JERKY, one sweet, one spicy, and one aromatic spice mixes, powdered beef/chicken broth, lard, Shroom coffee, tea, electrolyte and creatine powders in container not individual packets. Vitamens I have different MRE packs but I don't use them more like backup I like fishing with the a hobo reel and I'm in the mushroom capitol of the world good amount of wild berries but I remember Christopher McCandless I plateaued at 180/185 before broke into 205 with intermittent fasting
Honestly wondering where he got the bit about milk being so toxic and "killing muscle growth" from. All peer-reviewed research I can find indicates no negative outcomes in muscle growth from dairy consumption. The bit about dairy killing testosterone is also from fringe cases of dairy from pregnant cows, and the decrease was medically insignificant anyway.
It doesn't matter which video you watch on this channel...each one is full of valuable information and background knowledge. It never gets boring...By far the best channel I've discovered so far...keep it up!! Awesome shit 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘
Brother this is awesome I have not seen one channel where they do videos like this up close and impersonal, this is dope man I I wish you nothing but success in this venture of yours🎉
For someone without a military background you make some very good observations about preparing the body for exertion. Creatine is really useful, and something I really wish I was using when I was serving.
@@yonmusak I’ve exerted and push my body physically for years mate. Creatine is not good for military fitness. Puts you at higher risk of dehydration due to its water retention. We couldn’t use it in the Usmc
@@Echo_Mike I think the evidence for creatine supplementation has been significantly updated now mate. Evidence Based research shows no enhanced risk of dehydration. I wouldn't necessarily take it during pre-deployment phases, but for day-to-day training and conditioning I think it has merits for military training. A phased approach to training is important, not least to mitigate issues of longer-term wear and tear on the body. I've been pretty lucky in that other than a small knee injury earlier this year my old ass body is still functioning after a slack handful of pretty hardcore deployments :-D
Another very good video packed with good, well researched, comprehensive, current information. SF operators in SA found that dehydrated and freeze dried foods did not provide sufficient sustenance for long operations. Many chose to take tins of bully beef as well. Back in the bush war days they also used professional nutritionists to design food loadouts for maximum benefits, to try to maximize performance during long term ops in difficult environments where there was little to no support or resupply. This video is excellent and is very important. Do not only concentrate on the "Rambo" type of wpns, ammo and equipment stuff only..
Thanks Mike. That was a great educational video. Especially if you're out in the mud and the blood and the beer. Lol. It really helps to put some of your sheet together. For a kit a. Cheers 🍻 mate.
Interesting stuff mate, good video. Same thoughts here ref people saying they’re going to survive on a couple of snack bars and some noodles. Says to me they’ve never tried it. I’m putting up a vid about rations soon as it goes.
This really is a remarkable video! I know it's early days for the channel, but I hope you'll consider taking to the road for some small scale live events in the future. For someone who didn't get on with school, you're a fine teacher/ communicator.
Really enjoy your channel. Food is a huge morale booster. If conditions permit bring some of your favorite comfort foods or preferred spices, sauces and condiments. In extreme cold, freeze dried food is faster to prepare than thawing a frozen retort pouch. Choose cold weather snacks that are chewable when its -40 C like nuts or healthy crackers. Items that freeze (most bars or anything with significant moisture) can still be enjoyed, just break them up into bite size pieces to save your teeth. Sharable food is always good for morale. Just careful if you have a big old bag of trail mix to pour it into your friends hand because chances are hands are dirty. Sharing food is good but sharing germs is not. Learn different ways of mixing your rations to create more enjoyable variety. Canadian rations had a chicken breast in a light (basically flavored water) gravy. Folks would add the powdered mashed potatoes or stuffing mix to the watery gravy and it would significantly change the meal up.
Great video man. Lil confused on the dairy part. Always heard that even before the got milk propaganda that a lot of ancestors drank raw milk or made cheeses and etc from their livestock and were ok.
Part the reason for that is cheese products were able to be stored for the winter, modern dairy is awful. Pumped full of hormones and BS that especially for men destroys us from the inside out - up to you at the end of the day, but I’ll never have it again and have seen the effect and change of those who quit it
3 days? yeah I will take the mags, BUT this is if the fight is real. SOG guys in Nam were out on 3 to 5 day missions avg. and besides a poncho and water, carried nothing else that didn't kill. Extreme? yes, but gives an idea on food importance short term as well.
I like the long video and have started to swap out some stuff on my lbe gear. With that said, do you have a recommendation on how to store medical stuff or turn a mag pouch into an ifak for the crossfire dz?
@@Robonoobatron it can hold all the basics, best way would be to use a medical roll like the British Ifak has that way you can take it out, and have the contents organised. Or remove the Molle mag pouches and install your own
Dairy is a poison? Is this man trying to start a war with places like Poland lol. Dairy is a staple to my diet and my testosterone is just fine. Higher than most men my age. Sounds like a bunch of malarky to me, but then again, I am Polish, so I probably digest it better than most people. The rest of your advice is good.
Not going to disagree with this because the food standards in other countries are better but here in America the dairy industry is poison, look into what is added and the effects from non government funded studies
@Echo_Mike True, but pretty much every food is pumped with something that's potentially harmful. Fruits, veggies, rice, and pasta are all covered in pesticides. I get that it's good to think about these things, but if I looked at every food that way, I'd likely starve to death. The best you can do is buy local and look up how those places treat their produce and livestock.

If nothing else, “morale boost” is absolutely underrated, and necessary. Found this out in Afghanistan.

Milk fats are okay but milk in general, unless raw is likely not very healthy.
Do you take the vitamins to the field? I guess it's a good idea.
Only if it’s very long term, but that’s why it’s important to get them into your system before hand and live a healthy lifestyle
No nutrition no mission
