    Great video. I like to boil my Raman in my cook pot and then pour it back into my freezer bag to mix in the flavor packet. This helps prevent my prevent my coffee from tasting like Raman for the next several boils.

    for Ramen Noodles, I break it up into small pieces and add 1/4 cup Pioneer Country Gravy mix (instead of flavor packet) and 1 Cup boiling water into freezer bag. This is a substitute for Biscuits and Gravy. Also try Prison Burritos. I make mine with Chili Flavored Ramen, broken up, plus 1/2 cup crushed Doritos, plus 1 Beef Stick sliced and 1 cup boiling water. Some prisoners use Cheetos instead of Doritos and some add Cheez Wiz.

    I'm not cheap, I'm 'frugal' LOL. All great meal suggestions. #1 is my go to meal for quick & easy. (real) Bacon bits, Spam, Beef Jerky, Dried sausage - all good protein choices for your meals. I also like Uncle Ben's Ready Rice with a protein - although that's not very weight conscious, but I've been known to hike with a cast iron pan before.

    Ramen noodles with wild foraged greens :)
    Flour, flavour of choice (herbs, spices, that left over bit at the back of the cupboard, parmi powdered cheese, cup o soup mix..stock cube, Whatever.) add water to make damper of choice.
    Cook Rice with coconut milk powder, add sweetener of choice (left over jam, raisins, dried fruit, honey, Macdonalds hotcakes syrup etc)
    Oats. Plain is cheap.. Add flavour of choice. Could be cooking in fruit or herb tea.. Coffee... Adding nutmeg or allspice or jam or stock cube or whatever.

    Another option is cook a little extra at home. Freeze in oven proof bags. Pack frozen. Defrost before use and reheat by boiling in water.
    These are also useful when at home.

      You can't take frozen food and let it thaw during the hike. You can't let any food thaw at room temperature or you risk food poisoning.

    Not much point putting ramen in a freezer bag since your cooking it in pot anyway.

    • @MidwestBackpacker
      @MidwestBackpacker  4 роки тому

      I agree. I recently converted to actually making it in the pan. Putting it in small bag does allow you to break the brick and it packs down a little better.

    Those plastic bags are not meant to cook in. When you heat that stuff up it leeches a ton of chemicals. Not to mention all the crap that's in the "food" you used. This is about as intelligent as drinking from a beaver pond. Get a dehydrator and use your camp cup. Also you are unnecessarily using a lot of single use plastic.

    • @BeardedPropGuy
      @BeardedPropGuy 4 роки тому +2

      A few things here. First, there's no evidence that supports the claim that polyethylene leeches harmful chemicals into food when heated to normal cooking temperatures. Secondly, food is food; you don't need to go around saying that instant potatoes are inferior to your dehydrated meals- dehydrators are expensive. Lastly, has it ever occurred to you that you can easily wash and reuse a plastic bag just like any other cookware?
      Try a higher horse next time.
