  • The Mayday Emergency Food Rations are a common "prepper" item for their emergency food storage. I have tasted this specific bar before, but I have never tried to go 72 hours with ONLY eating this bar for food. This video is Day 1 of my Mayday Emergency Food Rations 72 Hour Challenge.
    MANUFACTURE DESCRIPTION:
    Our 2400 and 3600 calorie bars are approved by the U.S. Coast Guard as well as the Canadian Transport Department and have a five year shelf life. The new addition to our family is the 1200 calorie food ration that is great for the one-day meal. Mayday food rations are baked under strict supervision and all have that great taste of apple cinnamon. Mayday food rations can be stored outside up to 149 degrees (°F) and can be eaten without preparation.

    I haven't been on TH-cam on months. Welcome back. I bought a 5.11 Rush 72 backpack in July because of your B.O.b videos.

    The SOS bars are great! I happen you live in Miami, Florida where the factory is and have gone several times. After taking an unannounced tour of their facilities on two separate occasions and tasting their individually wrapped cakes. I can say that I'm sold! SOS it is!!! Great taste, Coast Guard approved, 5 year shelf life.

    I really like the Mainstay bars. They weren’t amazing but far from bad, I’ve had MREs that were way worse.
    When I rotate my preps it’s my favorite one to eat just for fun.
    I’d appreciate if they were individually packaged though to avoid waste but still pretty good ration bar.

    Seems like the amount of crumbs lost is pretty significant when it comes to this little bar being your life saving food. So far I can tell I'd rather have the Datrex bars! LOL

    If you would have a multiple vitamin to take, it would help. I like the fact that these bars are very low in sodium.

    there are some real nice emergency food rations on the market i personal like Kendall one i think thats what its called i cant wait to try theses ones i think they would be an asset in my bob bag or when i go on my hikes thanks urban prepper

  • @tokyorosa
    @tokyorosa 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Baby Prepper looks like a little boy now, not a toddler anymore! So cute.
    I would not survive on those things! Can you adjust the number of rations you eat to your caloric needs so you're not getting deliriously hungry?

    • @TheUrbanPrepper
      @TheUrbanPrepper  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, ideally it would be best to ration out these bars better. 1200 calories aren't really enough for a big guy like me.

  • @frequentfiler
    @frequentfiler 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    The ration bars are really only designed to keep you going while bobbing in a lifeboat, waiting for rescue. Not to support daily activity. Kudos for going eight hours between bars, I know that had to be harsh. May I suggest you eat 6X a day of smaller portions? Would probably help. I may have to use my Mainstays for my next diet. HEY! That's an idea! The Prepper diet! Just eat Mainstay/Mayday/Datrex bars for a few days. All the basic nutrients you need, strict calorie regimen, controlled portions. I see no downside.

  • @JimmyGunXD556
    @JimmyGunXD556 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Our expectations of survival food that last 5 years in all temperatures is asking allot in the 1 and 1 million chance you would actually need these. And if you did they will do the job its intended. I have (2) 2400 bars (smaller to pack) that way I can have 4 cubes a day for 3 days. Fun vid !

  • @ToniSin1
    @ToniSin1 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    WHY??? Oh, why? It was painful to watch while you went through the other bar challenge.....thanks for doing this!! Any video that requires a back up barf bag is, IDK, questionable at best!

  • @kevinbaker6168
    @kevinbaker6168 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    A little light on protein. A good balance would be at least 30 grams protein and 60 grams carbs. The other thing I would wonder about is the amount of fiber they contain. I know that higher protein levels can increase the need for fluids to metabolize, but it is a little more necessary for active people. Which I can see most of us being in a SHTF scenario.

    I hope the taste is better than the texture. I can not remember for sure, but I think Mayday is the one I recommended many months ago. Yikes!
    On a better note, I'm pulling for the Seahawks; and based on defense, I think they will pull off a win.

  • @Zantalo

    Oof, I just bought these and man, they were pretty awful to eat. I was shaking my head in disgust too every time I took a bite. I don't think I have the willpower to eat 23 more of these. They're sweet so you can't season or mix them with anything except maybe something like peanut butter. But if you like peanut butter, just eat peanut butter without the mayday bar, it's cheaper.
    Amazon sells these 2400 calorie bricks for $6.75 each if you buy a $162 case of 24 of them.
    Or just buy a single jar of peanut butter 4,750 calories for $4.79.
    Or buy a $50 case of 10 US military surplus Humanitarian Daily Rations 2200 calories $5 each.
    Or buy a 10 pound bag of rice for $10.49. 16,160 calories, 30+ shelf life = 6 2700 calorie meals $1.75 each.
    They're not the cheapest survival food, they taste horrible, pair with nothing, a 5 year shelf life is nothing special in my opinion, there's a lot better options.

  • @baranduyn
    @baranduyn 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I looked up the nutritional info. If anyone has gluten issues this is no-go. Bluntly, there's a lot of crap in those bars. I wouldn't recommend unless things were dire.

  • @Usmodlover
    @Usmodlover 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    These are meant for use if you're sitting in a lifeboat or some other situation where you are barely moving, if at all. These aren't meant for survival situations where you are doing really anything.

    • @TheUrbanPrepper
      @TheUrbanPrepper  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Usmodlover Yes, I know. I still enjoy testing them though. :)

    @randallkelley3599 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think those individually packed energy bars( that taste good), would be the way to go. There are nutty ones, gooy ones, a much better selection, two per meal would be about 500+ calories, so 1500 cals per day. U R a tough guy to eat that stuff!
