"Oh my gosh, I am *so* not into emergency preparedness stuff, but I swear I can't stop watching your videos! 😘 You just make everything so interesting, and honestly, if you were the one teaching survival, I'd be ready for anything. Keep it up-I’ll be here, even if I'm just prepping to see more of you! 😉🔥"
I make my own meals at the house and pack them in Ziploc bags which save a lot of space. This way I know what I am eating and it's home cooking which is always tasty. Freeze dried meats can be purchased ( dehydrated can be done at home ) and all sorts of dehydrated or freeze dried vegetables / fruits can be located at Harmony House foods. If you don't want to dehydrate your own. By the way , freeze dried fruits are 100 times better then the dehydrated ones. I do what's called freezer bag meals. The meal is dehydrated at home or freeze dried ( purchased ). In camp they are re-hydrated in the freezer bags and when finished the 1 freezer bag becomes the trash bag for the rest. Only commercial made meals for myself are the Next Mile Meals , High protein and low carbs. When freezer bag cooking the water only has to be near boiling , when the small baubles start. Have a cozy to put the bag in while it re-hydrates and to eat from. Cleaning up is easy . lick the spoon and you are done. I use a alcohol / wood bring backpacking stove ( Firebox Titanium Nano Gen 2 ) since I hammock camp. Here in Florida and we have a lot of trees , free dry fuel for the little twig burning stove. As you guessed , I'm 80 and retired so there is a lot of time to use.
if you can hold it in your hand, it DOES weigh something. ozs become pounds and pounds=pain. I use "non-cook" food and dont carry a stove. If I want or need heat, I go off trail, dig a Dakota fire pit, use it, and then fill it in. A Cold Steel shovel, minus its handle, is always part of my pack. So is a modified Crunch multitool and 3 different types of saw blades, to be held by the visegrip of the Crunch. Ive rarely needed either one, but, like my 1 lb pistol, they go along, just in case. I carry jerky, granola, powdered milk, Koolaid, flour tortillas, salad dressi, almond butter, jelly. I also carry some electrolyte powders.. I ''ve had heat cramps so bad that I had to crawl to the toilet. Thankfully, it's never happened on-trail', but I see to it that it is highly-unlikely. That sucked really bad.
I’ve seen him talk before on other videos. He goes up at like 11,000 feet. In the winter and I know that he mentioned in another video that there’s not many things to make fire on the top of those peaks most time of the year.
