When I started prepping years ago, I did start by purchasing a few cases of freeze dried emergency food and within a couple of months I realized that for myself, this was not the way to go. Our cash for prepping went much further purchasing canned foods/rice/pasta/beans/ etc... and the extra bonus was knowing that you we were going to enjoy the food. Another consideration was that if I required food that had a shelf life of 25-30 years - I would be a sorry individual if I was still relying on emergency food that long after the calamity😉 At this time, a six pack of freeze dried, Lasagna With Meat Sauce #10 Cans is $355.90 - if you were to purchase a mix of 50, 340 gram cans of cooked ham/corned beef/spam for $4.00 each, 40LBS bag of rice at $50.0 along with 100 cans of veggies/soup, you would have more meals compared to the 6 pack for the same cost. At the end of the day, we must do what's right for our family - what works for myself may not work for you.
I think exactly like you! That's why I don't purchase freeze dried foods, I rather purchase can goods foods, which is way cheaper and tastier. Freeze dried is simply too expensive for me and tbh, I doubt we'll end up needing to use the freeze dried food. I really doubt it.
Don't overlook the huge benefit of ease of preparation...add hot water to FD food and done. Saves time, fuel, and less chance of hungry neighbors crashing the party. Having some on hand is not a bad idea.
@@jdminn4 right, that is a good pro for fd food. But you do pay a lot for that convenience. I think a variety is best for me, and I would be throwing up if I had to eat spam!
@@deannamartin6827 True, prices have gotten high. Got mine a while back pre-Coof. These days i can, mostly protein. Some FD if there's a good discount. As far as Spam...not TOO bad, but too much salt. Have heard home made is much better. I'm planning to experiment with that and pemmican this year.
Great points. I now buy # 10 cans of basic ingredients from the LDS. Their prices are so low it’s almost ridiculous. Shipping $3. These items last 25 years. I have bought rice, oats, flour and sugar. Basics.
I have alot of Mountain House, my favorite is the italian pepper steak. Its not that affordable since covid so for the ones just starting to prep. If you have a church group or a prepping group you could go in on a harvest right freeze dryer and make your own. God bless all of you and good luck to everyone.
Me too! Enjoy Thrive especially for some items other companies do NOT offer. Also like some of the pantry can items but for the ounces/price... hard to justify them on majority of items.
@@sunniertimer598 I forgot to mention... I process eggs, cheese, low fat meats, and vegetables. There are several youtubers with videos that show the process. When I found 10 dozen eggs on sale for $1.25 I bought them all and put them in the freeze drier. They make perfect scrambled eggs that last years when stored in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers.
Natural flavors are a loophole by companies. They are not natural, labs use chemicals to enhance the flavors in any way they choose. You can find it easily if you do your research. Flavcity has a whole video on Natural flavors. Take care everyone!
Nutrient survival really needs to work on getting their products stocked up. They focus an awful lot on getting new people to sponsor their products but they need to make sure they can process orders and they need more meals not just drinks and butter etc. They only have a few entrees which is what most people are looking for. I was waiting for an order that they got back ordered on for a long time before I finally canceled it and when I called the company they never returned my call. Also they need the single packs of the meals because not everyone wants to buy a big can especially if they haven't tried the product yet. Their prices are pretty steep. It ends up being $50 for only 10 meals of mac and cheese. I want to try the mac and cheese but I don't want to spend $50 to find out I don't like it. That's what's so good about the small packets which they have been on back order for for a while. Again please tell them that they need to get their entrees in the single packs as a sampler for people to try.
@Kamikaze Tsunami, that is an excellent criticism. I appreciate that you typed that. What is stated is true. I tried one drink item and it was so acidic and bad tasting, I don't want anything else from that company. I couldn't be persuaded to sink $50 on Mac and cheese either!
@@deannamartin6827 I am trying just a little from each company. I know Auguson Farms and Mountain House have been around and have good comments. I'm hoping to can my garden. I froze corn on the cob last year, it still taste great.
@@muddyshoesgardener I buy a few items in the small bags, not the big canisters because you make not like it. Just enough to get me a few more days of food. I was able to get a free 6 pack of TO GO for free with any other on Nutrient Survival.
Before I buy large quantities or sizes of any brand of LTS foods, I get a pouch or small sizeand make sure myself and family ALL try it and like it. I only prep what my family will enjoy eating. I have a variety of Mountain House, Augason Farms and Thrive Brands as well as some MRE'S.
I don't do that if it sounds like something my family would like I'll get it at a reasonable price because it's for shtf we can't be too choosy and if it's something we absolutely hate then that goes into my pile for bartering as long as the texture is bright with the amount of seasonings that I have I can make almost anything edible
@@Utriedit215 I've purchased some LTS foods (30+ years ago) and they were not palatable at all. During my 8 years as an Army Combat Medic, MRE'S were bartered between us soldiers because some people could/would eat anything and some not. Of course I want to invest in what can and will be eaten but also have items for barter, always. Everyone has their way/method/plan for taking care of their family which is why learning how others prep is helpful especially if someone is new to the idea of preparedness.
Ap/ Rudy, Your a great guy and all, and really like you a lot, I started prepping because of you when i started following you early 2020, followed your videos religiously, even had monthy membership, But now every single you video you make is like an infomercial for Nutrient survival!...Enjoyed your videos much more when you wernt contantly pushing products that most of us could never afford to stock pille, or even buy at all !
Thank you AP for reminder FILL 1 year pantry with everyday food BEFORE buying freeze dried food. Both Nutrient Survival AND Mountain House are pricey, in the end you get what you pay for. I purchased NS for first time and they upgraded my pouches to a #10 can to get my order out quickly. What a blessing! also NS has Excellent customer service.
I keep a constant year rotation of coffee on my shelf. I buy ground coffee and freeze dried coffee from Aldi. I like the taste of both. Nutritional aspect is never a consideration when I buy coffee.
SHRINKAGE!!! I love Mtn Hse. They used to be 10 or 9 servings per #10 can. I see it's down to 7. It would appear that the Nutrient Survival food just includes in the can a multivitamin powder or sprayed on the food. I actually prefer to just take my multivitamin. If it's not naturally in the food can it is just a multivitamin added. They just call it a "Blend", it's not that the food is full of these nutrients......just add a vitamin/mineral additive. Price is better on the NS can. Thank You!
I got a can opener like your because I broke my wrist years ago and when ever I use the old fashion crank it would mess my hand up and I wouldn’t be able to move my hand but this can opener is so much easier I just love it.
Both sound good but I have troubles with the added nutrients. My body doesn't like them so I get my nutrients from the natural foods. Mountain house probably has most of those nutrients just not listed. And from the natural ingredients. That still wouldn't stop me from eating nutrient survival foods though.
Rudy! YOU ARE THE MAN! During the month of September 2022, Nutrient Survival as YOU Know, is recognizing preparedness awareness month by hosting a daily giveaway. (5PM central/Friday exception on time) I am searching for great content to serve their viewers while participating in the live chat. THIS IS PRICELESS! Great comparison and exercise in crunching the numbers in value and cost per serving. You are such a great asset to the preparedness community. ~ ALWAYS, REACHING, TEACHING AND REPEATING. Total respect.
I also eat anything (not insects!) Especially if you cook it. Lol. With this video no cooking, so I'm sure it will pass my taste test. One thing I would do is use rice as a base and spoon out that small serving size over the top to fill up the "hollow legs" of growing teenagers. That rice addition to their plate presupposes that you have stored plenty of rice! Many other additions can also be used. Thank you for your honesty. Just a reminder to stick up on multivitamins! Blessings!
I'm a TOTAL clearance, sales shopper. I meal plan around what I find the cheapest when I shop at my usual stores. Prices are SUPER crazy and I'm all about saving money. I always share how I save at the stores.
I don’t have much freeze dried food but when I did get mountain house it was $20 less a can and 10 servings. Wish I would of got more then. Now it’s so expensive
They have taken advantage of the situation and nobody is mentioning this. Price gauging vulnerable people shouldn’t be acceptable. Yet nobody is saying anything in the recent TH-cam videos.
Palm oil, canola oil, natural flavors, Egads very bad for your health. Canning sounds like a really good idea. I will be sure to read the labels from now on.
Nutrient Survival is my next big purchase. I want this for my family. Especially because it has vitamins that they will need. AP .. I can't function with out coffee. But I'm looking to transfer over to Nutrient Survivals coffee because it's healthier.
@@SunsetGazing I drink Folgers instant, 1 spoonful per cup and I usually drink about 3 cups a day. But I also add some creamer and sugar. I take my coffee prep seriously because in a SHTF situation it's best for everyone that I get at least 1 cup in per day. Otherwise god help those around me as I slowly turn into the Hulk. LOL 😮🤣
MREs are better for you than any of this stuff, buy them by the case at military supply, does not matter if they are expired, still good for many years.. if you have a basement start getting it ready to live there, no telling what's next, don't forget Porta potty at local Walmart ..potassium iodide hard to find in some areas, be ready for all things..
I appreciate you AP. I can see your heart for people. I have a comment about a product you endorse. I ordered N. S. because I respect you. Got a sample pack of chocolate cereal. Expensive ! More than most and without a doubt awful tasting. I do have some vitamin coffee that I have not tasted, for the price it is a ridiculously small amount. I don't want to complain but this is a huge rip off in my opinion.
I AGREE. HES CHANGED INTO A COMMERCIAL AND NOT MUCH ACTUAL PREP CONTENT FOR MONTHS NOW. JUST CONSTANT NEWS ARTICIALS, DIDNT FINISH HIS 5 BS FOR PREPPING SERIES, NO COOKING VIDEOS ANYMORE . MOST OF US WILL JUST USE GOOD QUALITY VITAMINS AND PREP CHEAPER SO OUR FAMILIES WONT STARVE
I see a large group of preppers endorsing this product. Even the Angry Prepper. For every purchase we make and use their coupon the company hits them off with freebies or huge discounts. That's why when I asked about an alternate to MIRA SAFETY for the gas masks none of them acknowledged or responded to my question. It's a big turn off when these preppers are more loyal to the companies then the viewers who helped them get where they are today. Without us watching their videos and subscribing these companies won't give them the time of day. I just subscribed a few months ago so I'm not sure how it was before.
@@countrygirl4362 i figure we all change and evolve as we change and get older. Ill bet your welcome to stay or go if your not happy with the way things are
Amazon is rationing Augason Farms freeze dried eggs in a #10 can. I just ordered one the other night. A few weeks ago, it cost around $37 and the other day it was $52.
Buy a freeze dryer! These food's have become so expensive 12 four #10 can case's around $259-$300 for a Case! $2500 to $3500 for a freeze dryer! Get 3-4 people together and buy one. We want to order one this fall
I dislike cooking meals in the pouch. My pots all have vented lids. I'm loving the containers you are using to hydrate the food. Can someone provide information regarding those containers.
AP the thing is all the expensive things you show and talk about and demonstrate are things most of us cannot afford . Show some things us less fortunate than you can maybe afford . I know that you are a wonderful person and mean well but some things actually can discourage people.
@LorettaCastleberry Yes, allot of items are out of budget for most families. I'm a 34 year prepper, single mom, disabled veteran and I started out long ago with stocking with only a couple dollar a week. Check my channel to see some tips for low budget prepping and clearance shopping on groceries and more to save money. There are ways to get extra items put away, we just have to get creative. ❤️
Im taking plain cheap rice and adding just spices like, on canning jar with white rice and mexican spices in it and one jar with Italian spices in it and one with cajon spices in it and another with dryed veggie mix in it. We got plenty of can tuna and chicken and beef in ready to eat cans so I'm just trying to fix ahead simple meals for my family incase I'm not around when SHTF. I have even done breakfast jars like oatmeal in one jar and grits and dryed eggs in Another. And one with dryed sausage and grits in another. Even on with different dryed fruits. I'm aiming for just getting the base ready so they can add what ever they want into their meals.. hope that helps a little. . just trying to give some cheap ideas. I have even made up some gravy little bitty jars to each daily meals for them. I even taped single pack of bisquick to the jars of gravy jars..lol LoL we are southern people here in Alabama and Tennessee so lol we swim in gravy. Nothing like hot gravy on a cold night on fresh biscuits. God bless you all guys.
I’m disabled vet single parent with disabled son, so on a very fixed budget is what it is. Lots of tuna, chicken all in water, not oil. Sketty sauces in cans. Lots of shopping at dollar tree and dollar general. Noddles aka elbow bunches. Tractor supply for rolled oats. $20 for 50lb bag. Mylar bags from US food storage online. Pintos, rice, flour, sugar in Mylar bags. Put in buckets or totes. Started slow a few years ago. Got nowhere else to store stuff
If they are going to be promoting a more healthier freeze dried meal ask them to take genetically modified canola oil out of their products. There is no organic canola oil. That's completely unnecessary. There is a huge controversy over the natural flavoring as not being animal or vegetable I'll just leave that there. When giving ingredients people really should be transparent about what they are offering people to consume because what if that natural flavoring was something that was an allergen for somebody?
We did a home test of a rice and chicken mix by MH. The result was a mushy mix because of the type of rice they used-short grain. And seeing a half full can….. that was enough to make my heart sink. My family members ate 2 servings each- their serving sizes are not “ man sized”. For anyone- double the serving size! After a long cold day a little cup of mushy rice was not enough to be a full meal. A person should be aware that in a SHtF situation you are not considering the base vitamin level of a dish of rice. As you sit in the cold/ dark you want a tasty filling meal. This may or may not be enough for most folks. Our little experiment changed my perspective. I would use these products with as many add in products as possible- canned veggies, extra rice etc. AP: thank you for opening the cans! You are one in a million. Most TH-camrs show the outside of the can only. You have gained my respect! Thank you!
Well, I just thought of something. The mixing may be a way to use the For My Patriots food up. When time gets tough. I have some of that nice stuff. Just looking for a way to use it other then dog food.
Nutrients survival needs to start accepting EBT food stamps you can get Mountain House with your food stamps on Amazon ain't no comparison to that AP. You should talk to them about it
U r hooked on MRE once a serviceman all ways a serviceman. U get used to it. I loooove Freezdry bananas and cereal. It’s sweet and no sugar. But naturally sweet
I'm sorry it's still not worth it.. I will eat my chicken noodle soup and have a lot more servings.. who says a can of chicken noodle soup can't last 25 years..
You make a valid point, however, what AP didn't factor in was calorie density/storage space requirements. Will your seven cans of soup weigh the same or take up as much/more space as the Mtn. House, or ten cans when compared to the Nutrient Survival? On a side note, I've eaten canned food that was over 30 years old many times and never gotten sick - just use common sense.
I am considered a wait I'm not going out in the woods needing light packing food.. I leave my house I'm loading up a trailer.. if I was on the run in the woods I can see where that would come in handy.. that's why the military uses that stuff.. most people are not going to leave their house.. and if you are make sure you know you're edible plants.. all your nutrition..
Hard to find the jetboil at my local sportsmen. Lol i thought you were gonna cook those initially in the jetboil. I found others tho they said would work with JB

I haven't tasted the Nutrient Survival yet, but I have both Auguson Farms & NS, and I can concur that the NS label beats it, hands down. Waaayyyy more vitamins, etc..
"Tasting vitamins is an aquired taste" with a British accent and snotty look on face.. "Surely you jest" Just throwing some humor in. Got my 1st deliver from ND. Plenty of others but i believe the ingredients themselves will be worth the extra cost. Especially when $ becomes useless. Thanks for the recommendations. Took over a month but that o ok . Dont need it now but haves the feelingss that i will be at maximum 2025.
The entrees I’ve tried from Nutrient Survival were the homestyle egg scramble and the lasagna. The scramble was ok I’d eat it in a pinch my family I’d have to push. The lasagna was awful, 3 bites and i tossed in the trash. Mountain house is way better and packaged to make a meal and not a 280 calorie snack. I’m not sure who’s been reviewing the taste of these entrees but Nutrient gets an F from me.
You say that “Nutrient survival” stuff has not meat? That honestly makes me nervous if that was the only thing you owned for “long term survival” I would definitely buy that brand but Meat in the diet for me is a must and is more than just a preference. I’ve gone a long periods of time very little to no Meat 🥩 protein and I can tell you that my overall mental health, and energy are night and day better with a healthy amount of meat in my diet. +---------+---------+ 🌹 “Pray the Rosary every day, in order to obtain Peace in the world…” -Our Lady’s Words at Fatima May 13th, 1917 🌹 +---------+---------+ -God bless 🌹Ave Maria🌹 +Viva Cristo Rey+

Costly! But the small cans ( pantry size) are a great idea.
I still buy commercial canned food but I also bought a home freeze dryer to make my own freeze dried food. I'm still canning too.

@@SunsetGazing I drink Folgers instant, 1 spoonful per cup and I usually drink about 3 cups a day. But I also add some creamer and sugar. I take my coffee prep seriously because in a SHTF situation it's best for everyone that I get at least 1 cup in per day. Otherwise god help those around me as I slowly turn into the Hulk. LOL 😮🤣
@@countrygirl4362 Hemp has more protein and healthy fats than other popular plant-based foods. What information do you have contrary to this?
MREs are better for you than any of this stuff, buy them by the case at military supply, does not matter if they are expired, still good for many years.. if you have a basement start getting it ready to live there, no telling what's next, don't forget Porta potty at local Walmart ..potassium iodide hard to find in some areas, be ready for all things..
Good stuff man, thank you for this review. 🙂
I appreciate you AP.
I can see your heart for people.
I have a comment about a product you endorse.
I ordered N. S. because I respect you.
Got a sample pack of chocolate cereal. Expensive ! More than most and without a doubt awful tasting. I do have some vitamin coffee that I have not tasted, for the price it is a ridiculously small amount.
I don't want to complain but this is a huge rip off in my opinion.
I AGREE. HES CHANGED INTO A COMMERCIAL AND NOT MUCH ACTUAL PREP CONTENT FOR MONTHS NOW. JUST CONSTANT NEWS ARTICIALS, DIDNT FINISH HIS 5 BS FOR PREPPING SERIES, NO COOKING VIDEOS ANYMORE . MOST OF US WILL JUST USE GOOD QUALITY VITAMINS AND PREP CHEAPER SO OUR FAMILIES WONT STARVE
I don't know anything about the food but one thing I can agree with something's changed whether it's a programming or whether it's him?
I see a large group of preppers endorsing this product. Even the Angry Prepper. For every purchase we make and use their coupon the company hits them off with freebies or huge discounts. That's why when I asked about an alternate to MIRA SAFETY for the gas masks none of them acknowledged or responded to my question. It's a big turn off when these preppers are more loyal to the companies then the viewers who helped them get where they are today. Without us watching their videos and subscribing these companies won't give them the time of day. I just subscribed a few months ago so I'm not sure how it was before.
@@countrygirl4362 i figure we all change and evolve as we change and get older. Ill bet your welcome to stay or go if your not happy with the way things are
You did see the price before you decided to push order right? Just checking it had a price per oz. Before you submitted your order
On Amazon the Mountain house Adobo Is $39.99 .❤️🙏🏻
Amazon is rationing Augason Farms freeze dried eggs in a #10 can. I just ordered one the other night. A few weeks ago, it cost around $37 and the other day it was $52.
Amazon prices fluctuate daily so I review their selections prior to purchasing. Some days I see price deductions of 40-50%! I buy immediately.
Good review. One thing to remember organic is good but seed oils like canola and palm are not. And they are listed in nutrient survival.
Buy a freeze dryer! These food's have become so expensive 12 four #10 can case's around $259-$300 for a Case!
$2500 to $3500 for a freeze dryer!
Get 3-4 people together and buy one.
We want to order one this fall
Thanks this was a great comparison
SUGGESTIONS-WHY NOT TAKE YOUR FREEZE DRIED FOOD, AND MAKE YOUR OWN EMERGENCY MEALS?? Possibly single serving packages.
Thanks for doing this!
I have that can open too! Love it!
I dislike cooking meals in the pouch. My pots all have vented lids. I'm loving the containers you are using to hydrate the food. Can someone provide information regarding those containers.
Your timing is perfect on this video, Rudy. I was about to purchase some more of this. 😎👍 ☕
I like those metal bowls and latching lids. Where can I get those?
AP the thing is all the expensive things you show and talk about and demonstrate are things most of us cannot afford . Show some things us less fortunate than you can maybe afford . I know that you are a wonderful person and mean well but some things actually can discourage people.
@LorettaCastleberry Yes, allot of items are out of budget for most families. I'm a 34 year prepper, single mom, disabled veteran and I started out long ago with stocking with only a couple dollar a week. Check my channel to see some tips for low budget prepping and clearance shopping on groceries and more to save money. There are ways to get extra items put away, we just have to get creative. ❤️
Im taking plain cheap rice and adding just spices like, on canning jar with white rice and mexican spices in it and one jar with Italian spices in it and one with cajon spices in it and another with dryed veggie mix in it. We got plenty of can tuna and chicken and beef in ready to eat cans so I'm just trying to fix ahead simple meals for my family incase I'm not around when SHTF. I have even done breakfast jars like oatmeal in one jar and grits and dryed eggs in Another. And one with dryed sausage and grits in another. Even on with different dryed fruits. I'm aiming for just getting the base ready so they can add what ever they want into their meals.. hope that helps a little. . just trying to give some cheap ideas. I have even made up some gravy little bitty jars to each daily meals for them. I even taped single pack of bisquick to the jars of gravy jars..lol LoL we are southern people here in Alabama and Tennessee so lol we swim in gravy. Nothing like hot gravy on a cold night on fresh biscuits.
God bless you all guys.
@@mandyshaw4097 That's a good idea and I have seen others do this. It's practical and will save you $$$$
I’m disabled vet single parent with disabled son, so on a very fixed budget is what it is.
Lots of tuna, chicken all in water, not oil. Sketty sauces in cans. Lots of shopping at dollar tree and dollar general. Noddles aka elbow bunches. Tractor supply for rolled oats. $20 for 50lb bag. Mylar bags from US food storage online. Pintos, rice, flour, sugar in Mylar bags. Put in buckets or totes.
Started slow a few years ago. Got nowhere else to store stuff
Check his videos, he shows many things thats helped me like canning meats and storing beans and rice and affordable things like that.
Thank you for the review! 🌼
FYI SeaToSummit Ultra Light is actual not Titanium its Ultra-light & strong 7075-T6 aircraft aluminum alloy :)
There are no canisters here at all, western Fl
Sea-To-Summit, meaning can be used from the lowest of altitudes to the highest :p Great video as always AP.
If they are going to be promoting a more healthier freeze dried meal ask them to take genetically modified canola oil out of their products. There is no organic canola oil. That's completely unnecessary. There is a huge controversy over the natural flavoring as not being animal or vegetable I'll just leave that there. When giving ingredients people really should be transparent about what they are offering people to consume because what if that natural flavoring was something that was an allergen for somebody?
I agree there is NO organic canola oil.There for it is NOT all organic.
Exactly.
There is no organic canola oil and "natural flavoring" is msg.
AP…What is the name brand for the metal sealing containers you used in the video, and where can they be purchased?
YES! I'm looking all over the internet for those as I read this! Lol

@@shoppingbag6973 Thanks so much! I remember seeing them there now in my head. I did not understand the greatness untill this video.
I wish we could get Nutrient survival in the UK its frustrating were stuck with over priced freeze-dried food that tastes awful
Exactly what I was going to say, shame it's not available here. Guess were stuck with Pot Noodles. Yuck.🙁 Take care UK Canner. 👍❤🙂🐶
@@maxibake9323 Take care too :-)
@@ukcanner 👍🤗❤🙂🐶
Mountain house about time you put food on a video that people can afford ty 😉
thanks for this video.. I want the spoon..
Hello, could you tell us the name of the bowls you are using? Thank you
Where can I get one of those heating bowls that you used to prepare the MH Abodo Chicken and the NS SW Medley?
Rudy, you could sell ice to an Eskimo. You could make a fortune MLMing.
We did a home test of a rice and chicken mix by MH. The result was a mushy mix because of the type of rice they used-short grain. And seeing a half full can….. that was enough to make my heart sink. My family members ate 2 servings each- their serving sizes are not “ man sized”. For anyone- double the serving size! After a long cold day a little cup of mushy rice was not enough to be a full meal.
A person should be aware that in a SHtF situation you are not considering the base vitamin level of a dish of rice. As you sit in the cold/ dark you want a tasty filling meal. This may or may not be enough for most folks. Our little experiment changed my perspective. I would use these products with as many add in products as possible- canned veggies, extra rice etc.
AP: thank you for opening the cans! You are one in a million. Most TH-camrs show the outside of the can only. You have gained my respect! Thank you!
AP where did you get those stainless steel containers? Where you prepped the food. Would love to purchase. Thank you!!!

Next up to the plate is Alaska Prepper, using his SWING AWAY can opener "bat."
Well, I just thought of something. The mixing may be a way to use the For My Patriots food up. When time gets tough. I have some of that nice stuff. Just looking for a way to use it other then dog food.
I bought six months worth of freeze dried food in case the grid goes down and there is no refrigeration.
Nutrients survival needs to start accepting EBT food stamps you can get Mountain House with your food stamps on Amazon ain't no comparison to that AP. You should talk to them about it
The adobo rice used to be around $35 on amazon.
:”I’ll eat anything”. LOL
U r hooked on MRE once a serviceman all ways a serviceman. U get used to it. I loooove Freezdry bananas and cereal. It’s sweet and no sugar. But naturally sweet
where did you get the little pot I looked on you Amazon store front but did not see it????
The containers you use in this video...Where do you get them?
That stuff would kill me but no food would also
Never noticed the omega 3 and omega 6 information on the nutrient survival off near the serving information. Even more nutrition.
I'm sorry it's still not worth it.. I will eat my chicken noodle soup and have a lot more servings.. who says a can of chicken noodle soup can't last 25 years..
You make a valid point, however, what AP didn't factor in was calorie density/storage space requirements. Will your seven cans of soup weigh the same or take up as much/more space as the Mtn. House, or ten cans when compared to the Nutrient Survival? On a side note, I've eaten canned food that was over 30 years old many times and never gotten sick - just use common sense.
I am considered a wait I'm not going out in the woods needing light packing food.. I leave my house I'm loading up a trailer.. if I was on the run in the woods I can see where that would come in handy.. that's why the military uses that stuff.. most people are not going to leave their house.. and if you are make sure you know you're edible plants.. all your nutrition..
I'll pay more for meat. But thanks for the video VERY HELPFUL
Do you think it is possible to separate the servings into Individual Mylar bags ?
Hard to find the jetboil at my local sportsmen. Lol i thought you were gonna cook those initially in the jetboil. I found others tho they said would work with JB
Good review AP biased but honest everyone likes what they like
Good information 👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻
Thank you and I have to tell you your looking good with your beard. Tell your wife I am not hitting on you. My husband has a beard as well.
natural flavors can also be msg

Uh, sure.
What are the cooking pots that you use?
For the algorithms.... 😵💫
I haven't tasted the Nutrient Survival yet, but I have both Auguson Farms & NS, and I can concur that the NS label beats it, hands down. Waaayyyy more vitamins, etc..
Rudy, have you tried cooking in a sun oven?
"Tasting vitamins is an aquired taste" with a British accent and snotty look on face.. "Surely you jest" Just throwing some humor in. Got my 1st deliver from ND. Plenty of others but i believe the ingredients themselves will be worth the extra cost. Especially when $ becomes useless. Thanks for the recommendations. Took over a month but that o ok . Dont need it now but haves the feelingss that i will be at maximum 2025.
hey r, have you tried solar ovens
Another good video! However once shortages hit lots of people will just die!
The entrees I’ve tried from Nutrient Survival were the homestyle egg scramble and the lasagna. The scramble was ok I’d eat it in a pinch my family I’d have to push. The lasagna was awful, 3 bites and i tossed in the trash. Mountain house is way better and packaged to make a meal and not a 280 calorie snack. I’m not sure who’s been reviewing the taste of these entrees but Nutrient gets an F from me.
You are funny. Mix it together.
Hello 👋
Can you tell me the name and where you got your pots with lids
Mainstays insulated container with lid, stainless steel. Walmart.
Mountain House It’s only half full at 46 dollars forget it. That’s way to expensive. Nutrient has at least 3/4full
if i had to choose,i'd rather have the mountain house, it has real meat not plants.
Mountain house won the moment you said nutrient survival was completely vegetarian. Sorry I just like eating meat.
Does Nutrient Survival sell any fruits and vegetables?
You say that “Nutrient survival” stuff has not meat? That honestly makes me nervous if that was the only thing you owned for “long term survival” I would definitely buy that brand but Meat in the diet for me is a must and is more than just a preference.
I’ve gone a long periods of time very little to no Meat 🥩 protein and I can tell you that my overall mental health, and energy are night and day better with a healthy amount of meat in my diet.
