Haven't done a freeze dried meal in a couple years since discovering Chef Corso's recipes and methods. A little bit of extra effort and preparation goes a long ways in elevating your meals on trail!
Rounded ziplocks! You never cease to amaze me Justin. Yup I got pretty sick of egg scramble after 18 days so I’m alternating with oatmeal this year. I also found I lost a lot of weight so thinking about taking some olive oil. Plus a little more salt. I should have it all figured out in a decade or two 😂
The Russbe bags are a revelation. The problem with prepared meals like Mountain House is how few vegetarian and vegan offerings. I pretty much make all my own meals for trips starting months in advance.
I used to date a lady that was a district supervisor for Mountain House. She would bring home so much product. If I wanted anything she would bring it home for me yo take on my trips. It was a nice perk 😊
@@ironpig701 , example a chunky monkey sandwich would be peanut butter, honey and sliced fresh banana on bread, but works in a roll, pita, croissant or tortillas. For the trail I do tortillas peanut butter or sunflower seed spread, honey, banana and sunflower seeds for a little crunch. (You could also add freeze-dried berries that have been soaked for a little bit.)
Trick is add less water then you think you need… then stir it up! If you still see dry spots add a bit more water until there’s nothing dry and stir again! Let sit and you won’t have a crunchy or soupy meal!
JMoneyGangster! YES! Shorts are the BIG deal right now. Keep 'em coming!! You've got enough material for 100s of these at least! Great way to grow your very wonderful channel right now. Just don't over saturate. . . that's what I see as a "fail" by some content producers.
“Beg” “baaag” lol love it

The bags are called Retort Pouches. That’s the pleated bottom which allows them to stand up

I do oatmeal on my last day. Quick and easy- leaves time to pack and head out….. usually needing a shower and want to hurry 😂
You could try the stuffed bobo bars or nature's bakery bars if you want a quick breakfast.
@@jessicathompson236 definitely a great and solid option!!
You could also try fillo tamales (6 types 3 sweet and 3 savory), stuffed croissants or the packaged danishes.
@@jessicathompson236 ok now we are living the good life 😂
@@Mike_Blanda , Hey, there are alot of options. 🤷🏾♀️😁
FYI, The round bottom on plastic stand up pouches like that are called Doyen-style bottom gussets, signed: packaging nerd :)
That's a super fun fact

Tortillas and single serve PB is my go to.
They have duos now too. Peanut butter and chocolate or peanut butter and jelly/jam. They come in split packets.
@@jessicathompson236 I also saw another hiker use the gels that runners use with PB on tortillas
@@ironpig701 , Yep
@@ironpig701 , I like the chia squeeze for it. Honey, maple syrup and banana chips are good for it too.

Are the Russbe bags good with boiling water? Wondering if I can use them for my homemade dry meals? 😍
They are!
Try the seasame snaps with the little pouches of peanut butter/seed butters/jelly/jam etc
Justin, can we pour boiling water into the Russbe bags, or only room temperature water?
boiling water is fine, as is dishwashing
I’ve NEVER been able to cook these right, a tutorial would be awesome

nice video! this is helpful and quick info

You use the bayg?
Remember In Canada it's not a Bag it's A Bahg!
How do you clean the bowl after using it?
Some of them taste great but the salt overload I get afterwards make it so I can’t eat them.
