This is a 72-hour survival food kit.

00:05

Uncle Rich and I are going to sample this 72-hour survival food kit made by four patriots, not a sponsor yet.

00:14

Maybe.

00:15

Yeah, if they want to be a sponsor, just give us a call.

00:18

We're going to see if this is any good.

00:20

We're going to taste the breakfast, lunch, and dinner, what's in this package.

00:24

I'm going to find out what's good and what's not.

00:26

What's your initial prediction? I had some survival food that was dehydrated years ago, and it was okay.

00:34

It was like sausage and chicken and stuff like that.

00:36

So I'm 50-50 on whether or not it's going to be any good.

00:39

First things first is we're going to actually open this thing up.

00:41

All right, so let's see what is in the bag.

00:45

If the cat jumps up, takes a bite, and leaves, that's all you need to know.

00:49

Okay, the bag is full of other bags.

00:52

We have, ooh, creamy rice and vegetable dinner.

00:58

We got Grammy's sweet oatmeal.

01:00

I'm guessing that's breakfast.

01:02

Okay, so Grammy's sweet oatmeal.

01:03

That's all, okay, there's three packs in this 72-hour survival food kit, delicious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

01:12

It's 72 hours, but it's only three packages.

01:16

One's breakfast, one's lunch, and one's dinner.

01:21

I have a curious, are you supposed to like, because 72 hours is three days.

01:27

That is correct.

01:28

I guess you got to ration it out.

01:30

So what I'm thinking is what happens here is you make the whole thing, and then you ration from there for the next 72 hours.

01:37

Okay.

01:37

So this is one person.

01:39

It's got to be one person.

01:40

It's one person for three days, but you're going to be eating the same oatmeal, mac and cheese, and creamy rice and vegetables.

01:49

You know what I don't see? Meat.

01:53

Dude, I didn't make the kit.

01:54

I just, again, there's no, I would have thought something in here would have had.

02:00

Here's the thing.

02:01

It's called four patriots.

02:03

If there ain't no meat, like canned meat somewhere, they're going to go kill some meat.

02:08

All right.

02:08

So don't worry.

02:10

So what we're going to do now is we're going to go cook all this up and get it ready to go.

02:14

So the next shot you'll see, we'll have it out here and prepped and we're going to try it and we'll see what we got.

02:49

Okay.

02:50

So we have, we have done all the cooking.

02:52

It took about 30 minutes to do all the prep.

02:56

Some of it took 20 minutes to cook.

02:58

Some of it took only a couple of minutes to cook.

03:00

So I think we should do this in order of how we would eat it in life because breakfast is the first meal of the day.

03:08

Breakfast.

03:09

We have, what did it say? Grandma's.

03:12

Grandma's oatmeal or something like that.

03:14

It smells like it's got some maple syrup in it.

03:16

Sweet oatmeal.

03:17

Sweet oatmeal.

03:17

I'm just going to dip some up for the camera to see.

03:20

Okay.

03:20

Of my own.

03:22

All right.

03:23

So there you go.

03:25

This is oatmeal and- I'll eat mine out of the bowl.

03:29

How about that? There you go.

03:30

Here we go.

03:31

All right.

03:31

Three, two, one.

03:34

Hot.

03:35

Yeah.

03:35

That's the last thing we cooked was oatmeal.

03:38

It smells like a McGriddle from McDonald's.

03:41

You get a McGriddle, it's got a heavy syrup smell, sweet smell, but you don't taste a lot of it.

03:45

It's just bland.

03:46

It's not bad.

03:48

I mean, if I had to eat it, I could eat it.

03:50

Yeah.

03:50

I mean, if I was surviving, again, it says survival food.

03:54

Right.

03:55

So, I mean- And there's more in there, right? Like this was a bigger amount.

04:00

Right.

04:01

There's a whole pot of this.

04:03

So- Three days worth of food.

04:04

This is three days worth of food.

04:05

Now, this is almost all the macaroni.

04:08

There's a little bit of macaroni left.

04:10

This is all the dinner.

04:11

So, you gotta splice that up three ways.

04:14

So, it seems like the idea is eat a big breakfast, eat a middle-of-the-road lunch, light on the dinner.

04:23

Because I think the mac and cheese is the lunch entree.

04:26

You think macaroni and cheese is lunch? I think that's lunch because there's more of it.

04:29

Well, here, give me some.

04:30

So, let's give it a shot.

04:31

Three, two, one.

04:36

Again, you know, I ain't gonna pay for this at a restaurant.

04:44

It's not bad.

04:46

I could eat it.

04:47

Now, let's say I came to your house and you were having dinner and you served me this and called it macaroni and cheese.

04:53

I probably wouldn't say anything.

04:55

Like, it would probably be enough macaroni and cheese-like that it's not, it wouldn't cause suspicion.

05:03

It would just make me think you bought cheap mac and cheese.

05:06

You know when you have a church potluck and there's always that one dish of mac and cheese that's just dry and just, it's barely mac and cheese? Mm-hmm.

05:15

This is that.

05:16

This is that one lady in your church that can't cook.

05:18

She doesn't deserve to be a Baptist.

05:21

Oh.

05:23

Now, that I'm interested to see if it's worth a darn.

05:28

So, this is- Oh, that's all right.

05:30

He said darn.

05:32

One per episode.

05:34

At least once, Rich has to say darn.

05:38

I don't even realize I'm doing it.

05:41

All right.

05:42

So, this is the creamy rice and vegetable dinner.

05:48

It looks like goo, but we'll see.

05:52

Smells like rice and roni.

05:54

Ready? That ain't bad.

05:56

That's good.

05:57

I know, that's good.

05:58

I like that.

06:00

That's actually not bad.

06:00

And this is the one that's got the least amount of.

06:03

I could eat that whole bowl.

06:05

Yeah, yeah.

06:06

This is, now, that's good food.

06:10

That is good.

06:12

Now, I said earlier, there's no meat.

06:14

Right.

06:15

This would, this is hearty.

06:18

Right.

06:20

I could eat all of that.

06:22

That I like.

06:24

For Patriots 72 hour survival food kit.

06:26

Delicious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

06:29

Breakfast in this pouch had supposedly three days worth of- Oatmeal.

06:34

Oatmeal.

06:35

It was good.

06:36

It was, you know.

06:38

A little salt, a little pepper, you'd be all right.

06:40

Yep.

06:41

Macaroni and cheese, a little dry, but it tastes like macaroni and cheese.

06:44

It doesn't taste like sand or something.

06:46

It's a little dry.

06:47

It's like, you know, like you said, the one thing at the potluck, the lady can't cook.

06:52

It's okay.

06:53

You have to do it.

06:53

But this stuff, this is the winner.

06:56

I mean, if this was a contest, this is- That would definitely win.

06:59

I'm gonna sit and eat this while we do the podcast.

07:03

I would say taste, I give it an overall seven.

07:07

I can agree with that.

07:08

Okay.

07:09

Six or seven, yeah.

07:10

Easy to prepare, I'd say also maybe an eight because really it's just boil water and pour it in.

07:15

Right, it's measure out water and boil it and mix it and cook it for 20 minutes.

07:19

I mean, that's the- And amount, I give it a four.

07:23

Right, well, we're also judging it by American food portion standards.

07:28

A plate of food used to be yay big and that was all you needed.

07:32

And people went all day on that.

07:34

And now we've just grown it to where it's these massive, you want a steak, you want the whole left side of the cow.

07:40

I just got a carrot.

07:44

He got something he didn't like, ladies and gentlemen.

07:46

No, no, the carrot was fine.

07:49

It just was big.

07:50

That was a replacement for the meat.

07:52

So, I mean, if you're in a serious crisis situation, this will work.

08:05

No, ma'am.

08:11

Tot, okay.

08:12

Okay? Yeah.

08:15

All right, now try the rice and vegetables.

08:24

You like that? I like three of them.

08:27

All three of them.

08:28

You want to try each of these? Tell us how you like them.

08:30

No.

08:31

Come on.

08:32

All right, right here.

08:33

Try the macaroni and cheese.

08:34

Macaroni and cheese first.

08:38

Good? Is it good? Is it really good? Yeah.

08:41

Is it like normal? Yeah.

08:43

How about the second one? That's oatmeal.

08:44

Give that a shot.

08:47

I don't like it.

08:51

It's a little good, a little bad.

08:53

Okay, it's all right.

08:53

You survived.

08:55

All right, now, this is really good.

08:56

This is rice and vegetables.

08:58

Try it.

09:02

Ew.

09:02

No.

09:03

No.

09:04

No, I hate that.
