Hawaii born and raised here 🤙🏽 the uncooked Ramen was our legit, schooltime snack. Everybody brought a packet to share with friends, and it was such a big deal, and it made so much crumbs and mess all over the school yard that it was banned. 😂
I also used to get the ramen and crack it up then toss the sauce packet and shake it up. I went to Toyo’s Superette after walking over from Noelani Elementary to Japanese School. Reading your comment reminded me before I saw Mike. I follow your page too. Didn’t know another Hawaiian watched Mike.
@@J.Young808Used to eat my ramen raw when I was a kid a loooong time ago! Also from Hawaii and love this channel! Mike (LLOD) is da bomb haha! And I was surprised he used to live in Hawaii!
Hitting the ol' "reset button" and purposely leaving comforts behind is a refreshing challenge that we should all do from time to time. Love it, Mike 🤝
Born and raised where you drove threw on this trip. Grew up camping off that road since I could walk! Love to see you exploring new areas. My dad had to help save a guys truck that slid off the road with a steep drop off. Drive safe!
Love the blizzard camping idea. Don't see any snow in Louisiana, so it'd be a cool change of scape... Well I don't see any mountains either, but you get the point.
Please do a podcast and put it on UA-cam. Please cover all the things, all the topics you find interesting and important along with viewer suggestions. I find your channel and content very friendly, informative and fun. I’ll always be tuning in and subscribed
Can I recommend moving blankets to add to each vehicle’s gear? Harbor freight has all sizes and they’re $5-$10 each! I just use them for EVERYTHING - I keep some clean to sit on or lay on, I have a bunch in my bed for whatever! I cut them up as well if needed and if they get nasty, throw em away and get another! LOL. They even double as a blanket to keep you warm!!
Eating ramen dry is honestly the way I prefer it unless it’s really cold out then I’ll cook it to help warm me up! Plus I’m in the army so most of time it’s just easier not to break out a jet boil and warm stuff up when you’re busy training.
Hi! We in Russia have been eating dry ramen with seasonings all our childhood. It was popular among children in 1999-2005. Thanks for the memories of childhood :D
In the Eighties, had a 1976 f150 w/ cap. In the winter would buy a couple of bales of straw and lay it out in back. That was our bed. We slept like kings! That was roughing it.😂
I have a 2015 tundra with a tru sport bed cover that I usually sleep under when camping, you can also slide an inflatable mattress in there just for extra comfort.
I 100% used to eat those ramen noodle packets either as a dry brick or by breaking them up in the bag and eating them. Same thing with the cup a noodle's too. The cup a noodle ones you had to pour a splash of water on so they'd actually come out of the cup, then you could eat it as a nood log.
Mike, do you plan on putting aside some land for a food garden? Maybe setting up a bunch of raised beds now, even if you don't use them, might prove useful in the future. Cheers all!
Anyone know of anything similar to the DiamondBack for the Ford Next Gen Ranger? They don’t sell these kind of covers here in AUS. Love the idea of a hard top and ability to access the front and back. Cheers👍
Just curious, why don’t you have a Mountain Hatch tailgate cover on your Tundra? Probably one of the best upgrades for the money, especially when you’re doing anything on the tailgate like cooking or kneeling! Cool company too ! Just wondering, and great video!
Do you have a telescope? Last time I was in Colorado, I was hangin out with my buddy and his family in his backyard at night. Sky full of stars. It was great. Then I saw what looked like stars but were moving in weird non directional ways. thinking they were aircraft’s but they weren’t. And he says he sees them all the time. I think your property without any dufusing city lights would be perfect for possible ufo’s sightings. I love that kind of stuff
Well as a man that camps in a gazelle hub tent similar to what Talon was using I have to agree it's basically a Condo. Lol though I guess I have to try the "San Francisco" camping experience in the bed of my of F-150 at some point 🤣🤣
Thanks for the balance mike. I love your gear vids but I also get making content about the outdoors and it not feeling like a full ad video for the viewers
@talonsei I ate Ramen like Mike did after school elementary days when I was going to Japanese classes. I crushed mine up first then added the sauce packet.
Sleeping in a diamondback is like sleeping in a coffin. Reminds me of hearing about kids playing hide and seek in an old refrigerator outside and nobody can find them.
Born and raised in socal, dry ramen is definitely a thing and in school the worm thing was a legit story going around. Mike isn't crazy, Talon might be lol. Great trip down the ramen memory lane.
Nice basic camping video, how do you like that Leatherman Arc? Like you have a used a skeletool daily for years and recently picked up the arc. I like it better than the wave I tried to switch to a couple of years ago. one handed operation makes it nice. See I am not just hating on your videos
I’d only eat uncooked ramen when there were some crumbs in the bag. Never felt the need to eat the whole thing with its seasoning. Plus I don’t eat it often due to still being hungry from the empty calories
@@LastLineOfDefense Really!? my dad was stationed in Hawaii in 97' but lived in Hawaii ever since. BTW, eating the uncooked ramen in the bag was a thing I did back home too.
@@LastLineOfDefense back in my day we had to walk uphill both ways to and from the camp sight, in snow, naked, and wet. None of this “truck stuff” and “condo tent stuff”, we only had our grit and our sexual confusion to contend with as we 4 men huddled our naked bodies together to survive…hard times.
Dry Saimin is the best! But only us locals from Hawaii know! IYKYK lol I hope it's Ichiban Chicken flavor! I was told that it gives your worms too lmfao. It must be an Hawaii asian thing lol 🤣
100% you lived in Hawaii if you ate dry saimin as a snack. And even more so you was Asian if your parents said you would get worms if you ate it like that 🤣 🤙🏽 Side note....Mike, you even sounded local when you were digging all that hand warmers out of your boots 🤭 love your content man ✌🏽 #808forlife LOL
So like, it was a long, like video but like, I tried to count like, how many times you said like, but I lost count at like, 208. And then like, I listened to you rambling like, for a long time but like, I was laughing so much I was like, I can't stop like, watching. So like, keep on making like, videos.

Tippy top of California and school is the first time I saw this. It’s hella good.
What flavor ramen you used to get? It was always the chicken flavor for me 😂
Canadian here. We also ate uncooked ramen in school. If someone brought a pack they could trade it for pretty much anything.

Raw Ramen is definitely a Hawaii thing. I grew up in Hawaii and I did that ALL THE TIME!
Thanks for sharing this great episode,Mike✌✌✌
Thanks for watching!
I’m from Alberta , Canada. Also ate ramen dry like that as a kid and once or twice as an adult.
Question. How do you “ask” for sponsors or get on that train to be supported?
Put a lot of time and effort into building a valuable platform and the “sponsors” figure out how to ask if they can sponsor you.
I have a 2015 tundra with a tru sport bed cover that I usually sleep under when camping, you can also slide an inflatable mattress in there just for extra comfort.
Which version do you prefer of the diamondback cover? What’s the most secure?
Not only do I eat Ramen straight out of the packet, I eat instant oatmeal raw too 😎
Haha I haven’t tried the oatmeal thing, maybe I will with some maple brown shooooog
@@LastLineOfDefense Try the apple. Much better in my opinion lol. Btw, I love the house, Mike! 👊🏻
Awesome video! Love my Jetboil, reliable and had it for years 😎
The ramen thing is definitely a Hawaii thing! Especially the worms part! 😂
Was stationed at Schofield Barracks 04-07, people mostly ate spam in the barracks back then...boiled their ramen
Spam is life.
I'm Korean and also eat ramen that way, so does everyone else I know. Its a nice lazy snack, quite tasty too!
Love the content and great synth music in the beginning!
Yo local Colorado boy here, where y’all camping looks dope!

from the rural east coast, chesapeake bay area - grab & go ramen is a staple. 🤙
As Asian there’s a special packet ramen you sprinkle the sauce packet in the noodle, crunch it up and each it dry.
Definitely ate dry seasoned ramen when I was younger as well!

Through high school I would travel broke and surf. I had nothing but raw Romen for weeks straight. Glad I grew up though lol
Comfort food, haha
I used to put the ramen in a baggie, dry, with the seasoning. 🤷🏽♂
..loved the video...as always -> great content..excellent idea with the camping...sometimes it's nice to go with the bare minimum.....
random but the dry noodle/ramen thing I do in south africa. so defs a supporter of it. Not common but its good!
Back in elementary and middle school you were a cool kid if you popped open your ramen and munched it in class haha
I’ve been eating dry ramen for a couple decades!
And we’re both still alive, so that’s a good sign!
I love the color of your tundra
You’re not crazy at all. I grew up munching on Ramen out of the pack with the seasoning on it.
Just curious, why don’t you have a Mountain Hatch tailgate cover on your Tundra? Probably one of the best upgrades for the money, especially when you’re doing anything on the tailgate like cooking or kneeling! Cool company too !

I’m just getting into it, but maybe you could try out swag tent camping.

Uncooked ramen was the best snack when I was in school🤣
Maui, Hawaii here🤙🏽
@talonsei I ate Ramen like Mike did after school elementary days when I was going to Japanese classes. I crushed mine up first then added the sauce packet.
Diamondback Bed Cap Tent coming soon!!!🤔😉
I’ve eaten raw crushed ramen many times
Sounds like a good test to see if your daily driver is set up well enough to just bug out at any time without notice.
Yes, dry ramen aka saimin noodles is a thing. Another hawaii boy and can swear by this! Lol😂
Sleeping in a diamondback is like sleeping in a coffin.
Reminds me of hearing about kids playing hide and seek in an old refrigerator outside and nobody can find them.
Uncooked Ramen was go-to drunk food in college. Eat a pack dry while the other pack is cooking haha.
Do you think you’d ever do a weekenderlander where you snow cave camp?
When I was a kid me and my sister hardly ever ate it with water we always had ramen dry like chips with tapatio
"We're filming a full production here."
Brokeback Mountain 2? xD
I work in a jail and always see guys eating it like that lol love the video 😂

I eat super noodles uncooked all the time while bike packing
Must be a west us thing. We did it in cali
That hackdahobbesplanethonbes guy is probably so excited for this video lmao
I used to leave it whole and just sprinkle the packet on each bite.
I'm on Talon's side on the uncooked Ramen consumption LOL
Use to eat Ramen like that but I don't crunch it up and heard the same rumor growing up with the worms..
I’d only eat uncooked ramen when there were some crumbs in the bag. Never felt the need to eat the whole thing with its seasoning. Plus I don’t eat it often due to still being hungry from the empty calories
Did the Sequoia sell??
Nice.
I eat uncooked ramen as well.
Is the Sequoia gone?
I’m going to guess that the surprise is going to be an RV that will be lifted 😂
Hey Talon you changed the rims. Do you have an update video?
I'm not sure about the ramen, but you're the only person I've seen put hot water in the Peak strawberry granola 🤣
I’m a fan of warm breakfast on cold mornings! Haha
Prison chips! That’s what we call them here in Alabama.
👍…. To no shave November this sucks at least yours is nice and brown lol mine looks like Chris Kringle … silver 👍👍👍
I've eaten a lot of ramen, but never even heard of eating it dry.
Prob a Hawai’i thing the uncooked saimin is fo real. (I don’t ever remember calling it ramen)
Question Mike, what years were you stationed in Hawaii? And what High Shcool did you go to? Leilehua? Radford? Moanolua? haha
I was in HS - my dad was stationed there in early 2000s
@@LastLineOfDefense Really!? my dad was stationed in Hawaii in 97' but lived in Hawaii ever since. BTW, eating the uncooked ramen in the bag was a thing I did back home too.

20 pc nugget would make me crap through a window screen.
Haha I have an iron gut
@@LastLineOfDefenseit’s from eating Ramen raw straight out of the package
The worms pre-digest everything for me, and then poop pure nutrients directly into my body.
Haha my brother eats ramen like that... I think he is weird as well haha
I also eat raw ramen out of the bag I thought it was a common thing.
It’s definitely a Kei truck. Has to be.
Haha basically the opposite
the uncook ramen is a staple here in canada everyone in highschool i konw have done it XD
Chamorro / Filipino here, and everyone knows when you eat it raw you get worms.
Talon you mustve been sleeping under a rock... everyone knows its the ghetto version of chips lol
I have eaten it like that all the time
Show off the 80!!!
Don’t need all that crazy expensive gear to get out there
I'm part Japanese and I've also never heard of eaten uncooked ramen.
If you do a podcast, film it and put it on UA-cam.
Real ramen people know about dry seasoned ramen. I think it’s an Asian and Islander thing.
Please make the podcast and film it. Talk about literally anything
Greetings 🐗🐗🐗🐗
This is a great video that shows everyone you don't need to spend thousands of dollars on trendy overlanding shit
I'm asian and I've done the ramen noodles in a bag a dozen times at least in highschool.
How about a new video on the FJ
What FJ?
Do you not still have the FJ60 or FJ62 whichever one it was@@LastLineOfDefense
I still have my 60 and my 80, yup!
I'd like to see a new video on the 60@@LastLineOfDefense
I never ate Ramen like that
