The thing is guys you should have made them walk 20 miles first because personally after a long day on the trail i would eat anything and it tastes great.Ihave tried the same meal at home and it tastes toxic. paul UK.
Nooooooo! Mashed potatoes are the topping for the Shepard’s pie! Y’all need a do-over on that one. Begin with the mashed potatoes. Boil the water, hydrate the potatoes, and set aside in a bowl or something. Now, cook up your veggies and beef or TVP. Boil to rehydrate, and add in the gravy mix. Spread the potatoes over the top and it’s ready to eat. If you’re at home making it, normally you’d bake it for a half hour to brown the potatoes on top (at about 350), but for the trail you can skip that part and it’ll be just fine. Y’all are actually doing great, and you’re all a lot of fun to watch!
Use Ziplock freezer bags. One for the potatoes, one for the beef and veggies, and one for the gravy. Freezer bags can take boiling water and you can make coozies for them, too.
Just seeing this.. I'm the one that recommended the scalloped potatoes and smokey links.. you did it all wrong! Lol. There are stove top directions on the box.. It needs to be cooked in the pot with the smokies. It at least needs to come to a boil with all the ingredients, then you can take it off the stove and set aside in a cozy.. Just pouring hot water over it is where you went wrong..
The shepherd's pie could have been done easier by hydrating the meat in excess water and adfing the mashed potato mix to it. Potentially the vegetables might have gone in the same pot, adding it first or later, depending on the rehydration time as compared with the meat.
You should try cheddar bacon bagels. First use a pan to toast the bagels. Then put on slices of precooked bacon on the bagel. Next, cut slices of cheese from a block of cheddar and put it on the bacon. Finally, put it in the pan upside down to melt the cheese.
Good job guys! Love this video. Here's another easy trail food idea for ya'll to try- Knorr Spanish Rice and add Jack's Organic Kidney Beans to it. The beans come in a small box already hydrated and ready to eat. Simply add to the rice side. Makes a hearty, yummy meal! 😋
Boes wanna hear mah foood? Rice, cook it. Rehydrate the salmon and tomatoes. Mix. Put on pan.. Cook. Nice.. I got another one.. Smashed potatoes, cook it. Rehydrate ground beef. Then brown some flour on a pan and when it is brown mix with water. There! Smashed potatoes with ground beef sauce. And for the third... Rehydrate some tuna.. Add cooked rice... Add some rehydrated vegetables (tomato, cucumber, and other) mix and season. Tadah
Shepards Pie ... mix veggies meat and gravy then put the potatoes on top. Also, Just a thought, could you somehow invert your stove to "brown" the potatoes before serving? Hmm? Maybe too much trouble for the trail? Just thinking.
Dudes, just seeing this vid, Shepard's Pie - zip lock for each item, reconstitute separately and spoon portions out in layers amongst all that are eating
To get those scalloped potatoes hydrated, hit them with some water in the morning or after lunch. For your shepherd's pie, hydrate the ground beef and veggies with extra water, then use it to put the gravy mix in. Since it'll be very thick sprinkle over a layer of the instant potatoes pour the water over them and just let it soak in.
I like the odd taste of dehydrated potato slices like in au gratin, scalloped and hamburger helpers. Just something about them. I hate the odd taste in Pillsbury biscuits and rolls.
August 25, 2019---Thanks for the video cooking tips. Saw one video where a guy mixed a package of instant potatoes with Ramen noodles in a Ziplock FREEZER bag. Use regular Ziplock bags and you'll get a hole in it from the heat. Said it wasn't bad even cold. You also might try adding something to the instant gravy. Just made a batch of it to put on some my fried taters I had as part of my supper, but I also fried a couple an ounce or so of Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage and only using 1 cup of water instead of the 2 it says on the instructions. Normally I had 1 cup water and 1 cup milk, but was out of milk and don't like soupy gravy. Or a small can of mushrooms, minus the water in the can.
I use the gravy and mash potatoes on the trail. I just add the gravy to the mash potatoes add boiling water and the gravy adds flavor to the mash potatoes.
The concept of this video is a great idea! We plan on doing something similar with the kids. So far, we have just been doing Knorr Sides with packaged chicken breast and instant mashed potatoes. We recently purchased a dehydrator and hope to start making our own backpacking meals soon.
Late here, but try no cook pudding. For a breakfast mix per directions, add granola (some fruit too). Also can be a great desert (rehydrate some bananas, add pudding mix, wait 5 minutes). Bonus is NO COOK (just cold water). I'll mix up breakfast before bed sometimes and wake to yummy pudding while making coffee.
My favorite recipe is Africian PB chicken soup. 1/2 can of 5 oz diced tomatoes with green chilies, 5 oz canned chicken, 1 cup of chicken stock with a salt free chicken buillion added to up the chicken taste, a tablespoon of Knorr vegetable mix, and 2-4 tablespoons of PB. Heat to boiling. I sometimes add more PB. As for the recipes I would have boiled the 2nd recipe with the scallop tater. For the shepherd's pie do the beef and veggies first, add the mashed tater flakes, then put gravy and a small amount of cheese on the top.
Hey guys awesome video just a quick question for you so it seems like you cook a lot in your pots do you keep the pots away from your a tents at night and backpack? Do keep them in with your food or what do you do? Seems like there's a lot of food residue that can sit in it. So what do you do with your your pot and pan set is my question and thank you?
Some good recipes there. Shepherds pie looked good. Never think of granola and powdered milk. Just got into that vicious oatmeal cycle over time.:))) Nice video and your wives were great. Take care, Al
Great video guys. Your wives are wonderful to sit through this. I cannot imagine wife allowing me to cook her trail food...though in her defense, I'll eat darn near any combination of foods.
Keep each of the Shepherds Pie ingredients in a separate ziplock bag. Add boiling water directly to each bag. It helps if you have a larger pot cozy to put all the bags in. Then put them together when ready. Add the mashed potatoes at the end of course. It's still more work than a lot of recipes but on a longer trip would really break up the monotony. And if you're not up to it just dump it all together.
I occurs to me you could also put the ingredients together on individual plates rather then trying to put it together in one large one. Saves messing up a large plate and keeps the dish presentable till the last bite.
Another simple way to do the shepherd's pie is re-hydrate a serving from Mountain house #10 can of vegetable stew w/beef along with instant mashed potatoes. Pour on gravy if you need it. Also, your wives are great. Most wives would have thought you guys were just silly.
Shaken, not stirred! "Not terrible" haha, not exactly a ringing endorsement =) Maybe once every few trips? I may have to experiment with that shepherd's pie, it looked pretty tasty. You can sub in pepperoni for the jerky or lil smokies in about any of those dishes, good stuff.
Nice to see your wives participating (being guinea pigs). I will be trying out the teriyaki noodles for sure! Looked like the scalloped potatoes just needed more cheese :)
hmm, looks like you guys could be on to a whole genre of show,lol!. but seriously you should reserved some of the mashed taters to put on the top of the "pie" then put it over heat for a few minutes, but other wise looked pretty good, the escolopped taters should have been allowed to stand for a bit before adding the smokey's
Couldn't you just boil water and pour some into the potato mix, the remaining, mix water and gravy until mixed well, add meat and veggies and let rehydrate. Top with mashed potatoes
Glad the Shepherd's Pie was a hit! I laughed at the lengths you boys went to make it look good. You're right about just throwing it all together. I usually just have it all in a bag and let it rehydrate together. Definitely not as pretty as what you guys did!
What's with the Fosters can and screw top lid? No self respecting Aussie would be seen dead with that urine.. .that stuff your wives ate is really cheap there. I'd have to have hiked all day to eat it though. Gross...
Great video. Great idea, bringing the wives into the video. Both pretty and yet such different (and fun) personalities. Gotta be fun to hang around you guys do so long. 😁 For shepherds pie, cold soak beef throughout the day, then heat and add gravy, mix to desired consistency as water boils. Add spuds at the end.
The potato dish might have been better when cutting the sausages in pieces and adding them ad the start. Or add instant gravy, obviously.
The thing is guys you should have made them walk 20 miles first because personally after a long day on the trail i would eat anything and it tastes great.Ihave tried the same meal at home and it tastes toxic. paul UK.
Truth. Hunger is the best seasoning
Nice video, guys. I can't eat oatmeal but maltomeal and cream of wheat are pretty good and cheap hot cereals
the girls are like "should we be trusting them in the kitchen" LMAO

Teriyaki is from Japan, dudes 😕

OK, great video, but I have to re-watch, because I forgot everything else the very second I heard MAC-N-CHEESE AND LIL SMOKIES
same
thats a 5$ bag of jerky around these parts. where do i gotta move to for 2$ bags of jerky. im all in
You should try cheddar bacon bagels. First use a pan to toast the bagels. Then put on slices of precooked bacon on the bagel. Next, cut slices of cheese from a block of cheddar and put it on the bacon. Finally, put it in the pan upside down to melt the cheese.
I must try this!!!!!! Because BACON and CHEESE!

Have you thought about making the recipe and then dehydrating it for the trail. Scalloped potatoes and little smokies.
Pretty sure you weren't supposed to make gravy, just mix the packet in for flavor.
I saw Dixie do this one and it looks like a good one. Of course, it probably tastes real good after a day hiking.
I use the gravy and mash potatoes on the trail. I just add the gravy to the mash potatoes add boiling water and the gravy adds flavor to the mash potatoes.
The concept of this video is a great idea! We plan on doing something similar with the kids. So far, we have just been doing Knorr Sides with packaged chicken breast and instant mashed potatoes. We recently purchased a dehydrator and hope to start making our own backpacking meals soon.
If you thinly slice the little smokies and dehydrate them for the Mac & cheese would that work?

Potatoes always go on the top of shepherd's pie, not the bottom... Great ideas though!

Bro, is brother schill wearing a fat suit and wig?!
Packit gourmet has a shepherds pie and it comes in 2-3 bags so I think that's the way to go.
Butter flavored olive oil would make those meals!
Some good recipes there. Shepherds pie looked good. Never think of granola and powdered milk. Just got into that vicious oatmeal cycle over time.:))) Nice video and your wives were great. Take care, Al
Beef ramen noodles and dehydrated chili
Great video guys. Your wives are wonderful to sit through this. I cannot imagine wife allowing me to cook her trail food...though in her defense, I'll eat darn near any combination of foods.

Yeah I think that’s the solution here, we’ll see what happens
I occurs to me you could also put the ingredients together on individual plates rather then trying to put it together in one large one. Saves messing up a large plate and keeps the dish presentable till the last bite.
Funny!
Your making me hungry at 2 am..well done fellas

Nice to see your wives participating (being guinea pigs). I will be trying out the teriyaki noodles for sure! Looked like the scalloped potatoes just needed more cheese :)
Yeah still need to do some more research and development on the scalloped potatoes
Ok, this is a million dollar idea......nobody else is doing this........call it "Wives Eating Trail Food"........all I ask for is 1%......LOL!!!
Fun video!!! Probably easiest to make the meat, veggies, and gravy as one and pour over potatoes.
hmm, looks like you guys could be on to a whole genre of show,lol!. but seriously you should reserved some of the mashed taters to put on the top of the "pie" then put it over heat for a few minutes, but other wise looked pretty good, the escolopped taters should have been allowed to stand for a bit before adding the smokey's
great idea for a video. Have to try the shepherds pie and adding smokies my rotation. Thanks guys and ladies for being Guinea pigs.
The chick on the right (with the black hair) looks like she is a cold blooded backpacker
Fun vid to watch! suggestion, add dehydrated fruit to cereal and let reconstitute. yummy!
Make the shepherd’s pie as a one pot meal. No prep other than boiling water. It looks funky but tastes great.
Since this video I think we’ve been able to create the shepherds pie as a one pot meal. So far it’s turning out really nice
Couldn't you just boil water and pour some into the potato mix, the remaining, mix water and gravy until mixed well, add meat and veggies and let rehydrate. Top with mashed potatoes
Your wives showed true bravery eating unknown ingredients, combined in a way that the inventors never imagined.
Love the utensils, and how dare you forget the sorbet! Lol
Trail Sorbet coming soon
Great idea for a VLOG, we're all always looking for ways to enhance the trail food menu..... keep the gastronomic research coming .... Kudos !
Cooking channel nxt. U should do spatzael surprise dehydrated form
I’ve just thru it all in the can ad water and wait 10 min and eat
Glad the Shepherd's Pie was a hit! I laughed at the lengths you boys went to make it look good. You're right about just throwing it all together. I usually just have it all in a bag and let it rehydrate together. Definitely not as pretty as what you guys did!
Yeah if this goes on the trail it will just be in a big bag
Can you re- hydrate any brand of beef jerky by just putting it in hot water ?
Your effort won my sub. Good job, ill see if my wife is up for a "fun/interesting" dinner tonight.
Dry bake corn bread with a little smoke in the middle of the batter?????
Awesome video! Loved how your wives were willing to be guinea pigs!
Haha this was great
We will have that shepards pie recipe perfected by April
Great video... who did the dishes?
i like how they are using camping spoons to eat
Works great with onion soup too.
More of these. Enjoyed watching. And they gave me some new ideas.
I have a pretty good shepherds pie recipe on my channel you can check out.
Will do, thanks!
Great job with the sheperds pie. It looks really good.
That was entertaining. Please do some more!
food is so cheap in us, i envy you
you guys are awesome
what pot do you use ?
This was awesome!
I love these!
Nice! Gotta try Roam Oatmeal!
Just heard of this - they have some really good looking flavors
What's with the Fosters can and screw top lid? No self respecting Aussie would be seen dead with that urine.. .that stuff your wives ate is really cheap there. I'd have to have hiked all day to eat it though. Gross...
Think you guys got something here. Cooking with SBO
Don't worry we can get you an official SBO apron
Great video. Great idea, bringing the wives into the video. Both pretty and yet such different (and fun) personalities. Gotta be fun to hang around you guys do so long. 😁 For shepherds pie, cold soak beef throughout the day, then heat and add gravy, mix to desired consistency as water boils. Add spuds at the end.
Would you cold soak the vegetables too? That is what we are experimenting with now
We need a follow up vid on the shepherds pie! Keep the vids coming.
There will eventually be a follow up, I think I have a good recipe down now
