  • Precooked pasta and bag of meatballs from Dollar General cooked on the trail. Is this Dollar General MRE worthy of space in your backpack or bugout bag?

    Thank you all for watching this video. The views, comments, likes,shares and subscribers this video has brought in has been awesome. Sometimes I question myself as to why I do this, why I put my beautiful wife through this, but the success of this video re affirms my beliefs on the channel.
    Thank you all so much!

    I for one are glad that you shared this adventure with us! Yes I've purchased some things at dollar general. Not quite like this! Thanks for the meal prep ideas! ✌️🤝👌👍👍🥾💯🫡

      Thank you, I appreciate that. A meal on the trail can be as fancy or not so fancy. I'm still not 100% sure about the pre cooked Pasta, further research is required.

    Add tablespoon of water n teaspoon of butter to warm/steam the noodles a minute or two, stir, then add sauce

    • @OliveDrabAlliance
      @OliveDrabAlliance  27 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      The sauce was pretty good, but yeah, you could definitely jazz this up easily. I think my next cooking video will have a lot more jazzing up. Stay tuned.

      It was.. edible. On the trail it would make a good meal for sure and it's easy enough to prepare (or eat cold). At home?... you could do better. I don't know, maybe my beautiful wife has me spoiled.

    FYI I would have filled the pan with river water and boil both packages in said river water for 10-min. Then combind both of them in the "pot" then eat.

    Quick & easy
    I just went on a hike to camp and fish near my house.
    Havn't been to the spot in years. It's so overgrown that I turned around.

      It maybe could have used some Tobasco, but that sauce is actually pretty dang good. I think if I cooked it longer than just long enough to warm it up, the noodles might have softened a bit

My brother is coming down and needs some help out at his mother in laws farm. I might try to get some footage of that. He is also the only person who I know that is a bigger gear need than me, so he might bring some interest items to try out.

    Should have added a smidge of water from your canteen and cooked them a bit longer. And brought some Parmesan cheese to the party.

    • @OliveDrabAlliance

      It definitely could have used it! However, I suspect that if I let it cook longer in the sauce it would have cooked the noodles a little better.

    Those weren't part chocolate right? 😅 On a serious note, I was thinking it looked like the noodles needed another packet of sauce, but end result seemed to be about right. Recently watch another channel who found these and makes his own DIY MREs and then taste tests them. Dad Adventures MREs? Not 100% on the name. Will have to go visit his channel and edit comment as needed to give correct channel name. Dad Budget Adventures is the channel I was thinking of.

      It probably would have been better if I let them cook longer. I let them cook long enough to warm up, but not much longer than that.
      Results may vary I guess.
      Either way, totally worthy of a trail meal.
      Thank you

    This is not an “MRE”.
    Please don’t confuse people. Yes, it is ready to eat, but it doesn’t meet any of what makes a true MRE.
    That being longevity over years and ingredients to sustain an army.

      @CreachterZ I understand what you are trying to say and I understand that there are people who won't understand the difference. Those are not the people I am trying to reach, there is no help for people who can't tell the difference between a military or humanitarian MRE and a meal ready to eat from Dollar General. I think a lot of people can appreciate that you can put together a portable meal that is ready to eat with little or no preparation from your local Dollar General store. Whether it is for survival, camping or backpacking use, there are a lot of resources right at our fingertips.
      I really do appreciate your comments and I don't take it as rude at all.
