My favorite FX and body art artist, Lex of Madeyewlook, is currently doing the four horsemen of the apocalypse collection videos. 👀👀👀 Make of it what you will!!!!
I appreciate how Emmy takes the time to put segments on her videos progress bar, including when the sponsorship ends. I respect why she has them (Gotta pay bills/ect), but I respect to she marks when they start and end
I love how everyone is so quick so point out that this recipe won’t last indefinitely and honestly.. I think Emmy knows that.. that’s why she put a question mark in the video title. Also since she did dehydrate the food it might last a bit in an air tight container or packaging like she mentioned but yeah definitely not indefinitely.
I am not worried about Emmy, nor is my concern about her presentation, but if you read the comments, many people say they are going to make a huge batch to store. Those are the people I'm concerned about, when these should be stored in the fridge and used within five days. I think the originator of this recipe who claimed long shelf life is to blame, and extremely irresponsible. If we're going to survive disasters and shortages, food safety is key!
Ditto what the above commentors said! Also Emmy seems to have removed the question mark from the title (the title from when I watched the video is just 'Homemade Survival Rations') so I don't know if your theory holds up 🤷 Either way its always better safe than sorry to inform people about the risks
I mean honestly normal oats will last longer. So will dried raisins. Might not be warm, but soak it in water overnight and eat em both together. Buts, Rice, Oatmeal all have a long shelf live UNTIL moisture is introduced.
@@rianlynn3854 Introduce moisture and then do the suggestion about vacuum sealing them and you've created an anaerobic environment, moisture, and store at room temp. That's what botulism needs for the spores to grow. It can kill you.
I can tell you from SteveMRE1989 that the addition of dried milk means it will in fact not last indefinitely, it wont even last as long as many other usual preserved foods such as beef jerky or raisins (vacuum packed of course). There are far better survival foods
Yah, you're right the milk powders are always off in the older rations Steve tastes. I wonder if you could substitute flour and cornstarch or something that won't go off like milk powder does over time.
@@joe-uc2bx Huh, that is good to know! Ive had beef jerky made the traditional way and its admittedly extremely hard to eat. I can see why people dont generally dry it that far. So do the silica packs in a container with air actually help preserve it? It seems like if it was perfectly sealed the packets wouldnt do much, assuming of course it was dried properly to begin with
What an interesting recipe. Something to have maybe for camping or hiking. Great idea for oatmeal. Please Stay Safe, Happy And Healthy. Have A Wonderful Day
You sure she hasn’t? I made it and I thought it was her who inspired me to make it. I didn’t like it nearly as much as I thought , and my family , normally who love to try new things and we used to get Universal Yums boxes, stayed far away and wouldn’t even taste it.
@@heehoopeenut2579 it’s ok like once a decade but when you have to eat all of it because the family doesn’t want any.. breakfast lunch and supper until it’s gone so I don’t waste it, I I ever have it again it’ll be too soon
This is a dangerous recipe. This won't stay good for long at all, since liquid was added to the milk powder. It should not even be kept without refrigeration. It'd last longer keeping all the dry ingredients separately.
@@tjs114 Yes. Nonfat dry milk powder has a longer shelf life than whole milk powder in its dry form, but once liquid has been introduced, it must be refrigerated and used within 5 days.
The pan misbehaving on the stove reminds me that my oldest one had a metal piece that sat on the supports that stopped smaller pans flopping over like that, of course it went missing over time, so pans will be floppy... :P
Survival rations sounds like something safe to keep for a long time. I don't think anyone should be preparing these as long life survival rations, because the milk powder will probably cause spoilage, and the mix had not been heated enough to kill microorganisms after being moistened and mixed. For long term rations at home unopened packets of the ingredients would be safer and longer lasting. If you want a very basic granola bar for short term use I suppose these would be ok but I'm sure a regular granola bar (or just granola) would be nicer. So I think this is a recipe that really didn't need to exist.
Dried milk always gives me flashbacks to when I was a kid & we had hit some pretty rough financial times. Dried milk was much cheaper than fresh for 5 kids & 2 adults, so that’s what we had to drink. It was SO DISGUSTING 🤢 that I remember more than half a century later.
@@TheArmyspider14 prefer the taste. Also I don't drink milk often now that I've left home, most farmers don't like brought milk or even milk in general
@@TheBLGL Honey does last forever and actually makes a good first aid wound cover as it seals out bacteria. There is however the threat of botulism to infants from consuming raw honey.
I have a special rock for pans, because I use an electric stove, some new pans and pots don't have a perfectly flat bottom, to sit properly, so to make them safe and flat, I hit them in the middle until they stop rocking 😂
As a homemade survival ration, I'd just stop at the 3:04 mark and bag and vacuum seal the oatmeal/dried milk mixture. There's really no reason to go any further until an actual need arises. Water and foil just add needless weight to the pack or bug out bag.
I'd have to wonder though about the water and foil playing some background roles that are needed for storage/use. Oats with powder can kinda be a nightmare to store because the powders just sort of fall thru. Once mixed, the worry would be each time it was brought out and shaken the proportions get out of whack. The liquid it contains also makes it a far more usable consistence for using ~outside~ of the home. In a house you have access (one hopes) to the water needed, a pan and hopefully fuel as well. This stuck in your backpack only really works as a survival 'ration' if you can grab it in an emergency (a time notorious for not being great for cooking) and formed it performs that task in a way loose never would. And the foil, in addition to being useful as a container in a situation you have to grab and GO has quite a few applications outside of food, but is also a light blocker which would help the ration stay usable longer. In a shelter in place, just loose and sealed (although, at that point, why you wouldn't just make oatmeal seems weird) it would work on your shelves a treat. But on the move, a solid bar/puck form seems like the only option. (Can you tell the current grocery price misery now has me overthinking things like this. I think need to stop watching/reading the news for a few days, it's making my brain all panicky.) All of that, and I would even be wondering a bit if the adding of the milk and jello powder to the oats makes adding the liquid and then drying it an absolute need - oats have fat naturally occurring. Would the oats start rehydrating the dairy and jello and make it likelier to grow mold and spoil? Actually, now that I've actually typed all this out - what do you think? Are any of my arguments sounding valid as potential barriers/requirements for the longevity of the ration or am I muddling myself up here. Would be seriously interested in hearing your thoughts (as well as any other poor sod who reads all the way thru this nonsense!) about this.
@@Magpiebard Adding water to the mix with the powdered milk shortens the shelf life. Adding water to powdered milk basically turns it into normal milk. Dehydrating it will then help it last a little while, but you'd really need to vacuum seal them with oxygen absorbers. And by the time you've done all that, you're better off just buying some Daytrex emergency rations or something. If you want to make something that's going to be shelf stable for long periods of time, look up making hard tack. It's basically just flour, water, and salt, baked until it's about as hard as a roofing tile. Pieces of hard tack, you can throw in some Ziploc bags with an oxygen absorber and they'll easily last months, years. Trying to eat them, though, can be a pain in the butt. Or, more literally, a pain in the tooth. Which is why people generally soaked hardtack in water, coffee, tea, or soups.
I definitely would stay away from adding sugar. sugar naturally sucks in moisture which leads to mold and nasty things. and with the gelatin double-y so.
I was thinking the same thing. Little too no sugar and just use more honey plus it would help to bind it better. I’d also consider leaving the milk out if I wanted to store them longer.
Yup. Oats have oil, which goes rancid quick. Plus after water is added, dry milk powder must be used within approximately 5 days. This is literally a recipe for botulism.
@@CricketsBay Botulism, the next survival superfood! Get botulism today, and all your problems will be gone (because you'll be dealing with a much bigger problem).
Idk the original creator is dumb or sumn... this is just a random dry ass oat snack. They shouldve never EVER claim it as rations itll spoil quicker than any other non ration foods
Reginald's right there ripping raspberries. Perhaps raspberry jello would be good too. I like my oatmeal with lots of butter, but to survive I'd omit it. LOL
As survival food they don’t provide enough nutrients. They lack proteins (you can replace some of the oats with protein powder) and have too much sugar. Raw cane sugar would be better for minerals. Also maybe dried fruits for vitamins. As is they’re great for a snack when hiking, or as a survival dessert, but not much else
I never have tasted ration bars but, however, I have tried meat rations before that was authentic and in the cans where someone donated them to a American Legion Auction that was to help raise money for a nearby veterans hospital. They weren’t bad. Basically meat rations taste like those little canned meat salads you get at the dollar store but, they tend to have a little more flavor.
Dylan's kitchen did this he called it survival bread same ingredients made it different also baked at 350 for 30 min you shouldn't eat raw oat meal. I tried it and its great and does last.
Uncooked oats are safe to eat. They have already been heated as part of the necessary processing they have to go through before being sold. Uncooked flour or wheat is not safe to eat.
would certainly VARY the diet a bit, survival food often lacks variety and flavor, so these would be a welcome addition. Though for ACTUAL long term, I'd omit the powdered milk from the recipe, put a packet of the milk powder in with the container and add it back when rehydrating for oatmeal
I was watching Dave Canterbury do some camp cooking episodes a few years back on his channel, and he started using dried soup greens that he bought from a local Amish community. I got interested and found out how to make my own. Making your own premixed blend of herbs and greens to add to soups is a fantastic survival or camping food. You can make some pretty hearty soups out of just a bouillon cube and a handful of dehydrated greens. Or add in some lentils, split peas, or beans and let it cook. Get really fancy and toss in some jerky, too, or salt pork or bacon.
Huh? I literally purchased a 9.6 ounce can of Carnation milk powder today at my small-town grocery store for $4.00 that makes 3 quarts. If I was willing to drive 15 miles to a bigger town, the grocery stores there sell it for about 50 cents less. Heck, Target's store brand is only $3.70 for the same amount.
I think the dry milk was suppose to be rehydrate with the water. To make it a cup and a half of liquid dry milk. And the 3 tablespoons of honey water. Then you dehydrate the bars from that mixer.
This seems similar to Anzac biscuits. They're baked, contain coconut, and no gelatin. They also call for golden syrup, a regional product in Australia and New Zealand. Like Karo they said. Well, I'm lazy, it was late, so I subbed molasses. DON'T. Now that I remember, this recipe was published in Field & Stream in the 80s. It used Jello and plain cornflakes.
I wonder if you have to use citrus jello because of the citric acid in it. I think I'd prefer this with peach or strawberry jello. I love those flavors of oatmeal. I'd add less sugar and/or use sugar free jello. If the citric acid from citric jello is a key component you could potentially crush a few vitamin c tablets and add them.
These are intended as rations to use when you're unable to get at food. Leaving out sugar is going to make them less useful as rations and possibly not last as long in storage as the sugar keeps bacteria from being able to feed on them while they're dry.
It has a ?....... that means "will it last?" How about use common sense. If it smells or looks bad pass. Don't be an idiot. We aren't responsible for other people's stupidity and lack of common sense
Here’s a recipe for Logan bread. A 2 x 2“ equals about 4000 cal I believe it might be 3000 which is food for one day for one man who is doing a lot of effort. The recipe makes enough for two men for 16 days. Logan bread 1 quart of water 4 pounds of flour (whole grain) 1 1/2 pounds of raw sugar or brown sugar 2 tablespoons baking powder 12 ounces nonfat dried milk solids 2 tablespoon sea salt 2 cups honey 1cup blackstrap molasses 1 1/4 cup of oil 1 cup of sesame seeds 1 1/2 cup wheat germ Preheat oven 300° mix all very well and turn into a big greased roasting pan. Bake one hour. Cut into 32 squares and allowed to air dry until semi dry. These are actually good and you must limit yourself because you can eat a weeks worth of food in 20 minutes :-). This recipe gives a much better chance for survival because if you’re trying to survive you’re probably burning a lot of calories. Unless you’re hiding in a hole and then something yummy once a day might be good.
@@wmluna381 Of course it depends on the food. I want discovered an underground bomb shelter from the 40s with government supplies in it. I ate them and they were good. At least I didn’t get sick anyway :-). And I have been in starvation situations before and believe me I would’ve eaten anything.But generally I would say that things will last longer than you would think. And much longer than the FDA says. There’s a difference between tastes good and will keep you alive. :-)
recipe reminds me of hudson bay bread but that's without powder milk or gelatine. and i would imagine taste significantly better (i've only had that and not this).
I love hellofresh! Lol this video is awesome I'm going to try to make these survival rations this is awesome but substitute the dry milk with almond powder agar agar instead of gelatin and monk fruit powder instead of sugar
No one cares that you’re a vegan. And there’s no such thing as “survival”food cause environmental damage is gonna do us all in soon. Either thru issues with food supply, or lack of water, or by the heat.
If you're making lost lasting survival rations, maybe give pemmican a try. Definitely wouldn't be as cheap to make as these since it's mostly meat and tallow tho :/
I wonder if there could be a substitute for the citrus gelatin. I do enjoy fruity cereals but for some reason the addition of the orange packet seemed strange 😆I wonder if something like a dry pudding powder would be okay? Or if that goes bad quicker than jello?
Just do not make these as rations. Everything will spoil. The gelatin, the milk powder, the extra moisture... make these as snacks only, store properly in a cool place and consume quickly. This recipe 100% fail as rations
These sound interesting since I love oats! Just wondering if the jello can be eliminated (some of my family are vegetarians) and the sugar can be reduced? Any thoughts on it? Also how long do these last?
The ending was hilarious!😂😂😂

It may store longer when the ingredients are stored separately.
“Reginald’s right here ripping raspberries.” :P
I wonder if you have to use citrus jello because of the citric acid in it. I think I'd prefer this with peach or strawberry jello. I love those flavors of oatmeal. I'd add less sugar and/or use sugar free jello. If the citric acid from citric jello is a key component you could potentially crush a few vitamin c tablets and add them.
I think you could use any flavor of jello you like.
Vitamin C is ascorbic acid. Citric acid is just for flavor and preservation due to the Ph.
These are intended as rations to use when you're unable to get at food. Leaving out sugar is going to make them less useful as rations and possibly not last as long in storage as the sugar keeps bacteria from being able to feed on them while they're dry.
This will not keep indefinitely. That's a dangerous claim.
This, this is so worrying.
They will definitely not last indefinitely. Maybe like a week.
It has a ?....... that means "will it last?" How about use common sense. If it smells or looks bad pass. Don't be an idiot. We aren't responsible for other people's stupidity and lack of common sense
@@Amandahugginkizz I don't think they're referring to how emmi presented it, but rather the claims of the original recipe
This is why you should seal them airtight as she said. I would add some desiccant packets to ensure it doesn’t grow botulism.
One pan cheezy blackbean tacos sound awesome!
Yes, in this video: th-cam.com/video/9GoyoO4G5Y8/w-d-xo.html.
Here’s a recipe for Logan bread.
A 2 x 2“ equals about 4000 cal I believe it might be 3000 which is food for one day for one man who is doing a lot of effort.
The recipe makes enough for two men for 16 days.
Logan bread
1 quart of water
4 pounds of flour (whole grain)
1 1/2 pounds of raw sugar or brown sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
12 ounces nonfat dried milk solids
2 tablespoon sea salt
2 cups honey
1cup blackstrap molasses
1 1/4 cup of oil
1 cup of sesame seeds
1 1/2 cup wheat germ
Preheat oven 300° mix all very well and turn into a big greased roasting pan. Bake one hour. Cut into 32 squares and allowed to air dry until semi dry.
These are actually good and you must limit yourself because you can eat a weeks worth of food in 20 minutes :-).
This recipe gives a much better chance for survival because if you’re trying to survive you’re probably burning a lot of calories. Unless you’re hiding in a hole and then something yummy once a day might be good.
In your estimation, how long do these rations typically tend to last / need to be rotated out?
@@wmluna381 Of course it depends on the food. I want discovered an underground bomb shelter from the 40s with government supplies in it. I ate them and they were good. At least I didn’t get sick anyway :-). And I have been in starvation situations before and believe me I would’ve eaten anything.But generally I would say that things will last longer than you would think. And much longer than the FDA says. There’s a difference between tastes good and will keep you alive. :-)
I am a quasi prepper so I enjoyed learning something new to add to my stored food!
after you micro waved it if you put it in the fridge in four hours you will have some really weird jello
😆 Truth!
why a citrus flavor? if imagine strawberry or peach would go better with oats... especially when rehydrated
Tbh original recipe creator is just dumb. This doesn't even function as rations, it WILL SPOIL very quickly
Reginald’s right here ripping raspberries! Thanks for lulling me to sleep, Emmy!
You're welcome! 💨💨💨💨💨
Pemmican is a great long term high calorie survival food.
I would love to see you make it!
I believe she already has a long time ago.
Reginald's right here ripping raspberries !!!! Love your content Emmy, thank you!! 💜

Ms. Emmy has mastered the art of poker face, however her hand and arms speak volumes. Very cognitive but hands on at the same time. Love her work.
It's the "survive until the diabetes kills you" recipe!
recipe reminds me of hudson bay bread but that's without powder milk or gelatine. and i would imagine taste significantly better (i've only had that and not this).
Can we do more survival food!
I love hellofresh! Lol this video is awesome I'm going to try to make these survival rations this is awesome but substitute the dry milk with almond powder agar agar instead of gelatin and monk fruit powder instead of sugar
You can use coconut milk powder , almond flour would add a different texture, it might not turn out so well as a substitution.
No one cares that you’re a vegan.
And there’s no such thing as “survival”food cause environmental damage is gonna do us all in soon. Either thru issues with food supply, or lack of water, or by the heat.
If you cook the reconstituted version longer, it will absorb all the water
Seem like a good options to being on backpacking trips
i would possibly add some protein powder, to give it some more calories for long term... and yes, I would seal them up in a vacuum sealer
Maybe the granulated sugar was supposed to be added to the honey and water to make a syrup?
Maybe use Tang instead of jello?
I wonder how long milk powder lasts? The other thing is that milk is one of the most common food allergies.
You could also use coconut milk powder or a protein powder, though it wouldn’t add any longevity to the final product.
milk powder last 25 years in the bag not sure in the bars
@@maggiemae8110 these have some moisture so the milk powder won’t last anywhere near that long
This looks exactly like "porridge to go" from Quakers.
Is this something you could also put in the freezer to last longer?
Have you ever made pemmican?
I can't remember.
I believe she has!
I did a search and found it.
Realistically, that recipe is just not going to make good survival food. Just buy a box of Convar7, or NRG-5, or something similar.
These seem like a homemade vesion of nature valley granola bars with how they refused to stay together
Maybe the recipe meant jello pudding mix?
Thanks!
If you're making lost lasting survival rations, maybe give pemmican a try. Definitely wouldn't be as cheap to make as these since it's mostly meat and tallow tho :/
I can hear a blue jay in the background at 7:25 💙
Um maybe it's the tank top but Emmy, you're arms look amazing! Super toned! Running after chickens do that to you? I might to get a few! Lol 🤣
Thank you! But I would credit the push-ups rather than the chickens. 😆

Can you share what oven you have please?
Info's in the description box.
Maybe try with less sugar to taste
You are just so delightful ❤️
Wheat berries would work nicely.
I would add some freeze dried fruit
Try with peach jello
And dried peach bits…or strawberry with dried strawberries. I bet it would be pretty good.
I wonder if there could be a substitute for the citrus gelatin. I do enjoy fruity cereals but for some reason the addition of the orange packet seemed strange 😆I wonder if something like a dry pudding powder would be okay? Or if that goes bad quicker than jello?
The dry pudding powder would probably go bad as quickly as the milk powder and/or oats so would probably be ok for a little while
Just do not make these as rations. Everything will spoil. The gelatin, the milk powder, the extra moisture... make these as snacks only, store properly in a cool place and consume quickly. This recipe 100% fail as rations
maybe they were supposed to dry before cutting?
These sound interesting since I love oats! Just wondering if the jello can be eliminated (some of my family are vegetarians) and the sugar can be reduced? Any thoughts on it? Also how long do these last?
why not try to use vegetarian jell-o with agar?
you don't want survival food to be too tasty, the temptation would be to eat them before you need them or eat them too quickly
Pemmican is the ultimate survival food.
What is your exercise routine?
Is the jello just for flavor? If so, I feel like it'll taste better if it was less sweet.
Reginald’s right here ripping raspberries. 😊
Try one in a year from now, see how you feel 😂
I miss the ration vids😁
Stay tuned...
Love the rations videos! So excited for this version! Reginald's right here ripping raspberries.
