Mountain House Adventure Meals - A LIVE prep & taste test of 4 freeze dried survival meals
Mountain House Adventure Meals - A LIVE prep & taste test of 4 freeze dried survival meals
In this episode of the man show, we try some of the Mountain House Adventure meals for texture, quality and taste.
What that, the guys had mixed opinions about the meals and Mr Dog Poop did not think the bacon and eggs was edible while Jeff sucked down the entire feed bad.
These feed bags are very convenient for travel since the are dry, very light and last for decades in any storage condition.
Of course, you still need access to clean water which might be problematic in a survival situation. But for camping, hiking or travel they are a great option at around $10-$15 per meal.
The amount of food in each was surprising and likely enough to feed 2 people.
The beef stew had almost no beef and was relatively tasteless. An extra salt and pepper pack would have been nice to give it more flavor.
The one surprise was the Chicken Alfredo, lots of chicken and full of taste. In fact, everyone was tasting it after the show and it was overwhelmingly rated the best and very edible.
The fried rice on the other had had a chemical taste, just smelled and tasted wrong. Of course the did not prevent Macolino from eating the entire feed bag, so if is edible for people with no taste.
Our conclusion was that some of the meals were good and some bad as far as taste. As for value, they all had ample amounts of food and really are good for what they are made for.
Just a word of caution, if you are taking them camping or on a hike and they are your only source of food, make sure you try one first before you depart.
Not everyone likes the same flavor and these are hit and miss.
We tried to get Gel in on the conversation as he reviewed some different flavors on a episode of Bullshit and Beer but as usual, Mr Dog Poop and technology don't mix and that turned into a fiasco.
In all fairness, Mr Dog Poop does have some of these meals in his bunker for the zombie apocalypse and if that time comes, he will be chowing down on Mountain House Adventure Meals.
Episode #1We finally did it, we completed one full episode. We beat the critics that said it was impossible for an old dog poop guy and his drunk friend to figure out how to stream a live show on the internet. Our first episode was about "Reviewing of a Zombie Survival Tool Kit". The kits are abundant online from mid $20's to around $50 depending on which tools are packed into the individual kit. We unpacked and tested each item to see how helpful each tool would be in a survival situation with some very nice and some completely useless. The truth is, you could never know what you might need if you run out of gas in the middle of nowhere or fall out of a plane in the Australian outback, but if you do and you have the kit with you, it could help you survive.

$25 Panini Press Review Egg Sandwich? Ribeye Steak? Rubens? Patty Melt? What will it cook? As it turns out this little dynamo is pretty good for the under $25 price tag. We actually made the mistake of trying to make Panini sandwiches rather than just using it as a small kitchen grill. The most success we had was cooking a previously frozen ribeye steak. Then we cooked a cube steak and made a patty melt and even cooked some sausage patties. While the big challenge was to make Rubens, we may have over stacked the sandwich for the size of the Panini press. Regardless, the grill out performed our expectations and it did burn us a few times. We did have some complaints about the design, it was definitely not very user friendly and expect at least a couple burns until you get familiar with the set up. But ...read more
Building Solar Powered Robots This episode of the man show features the guys trying to build solar robots out of a kit made for 8 years and up. Seems like a simple task for 2 guys way up from 8 years old. But the task proves to be overwhelming for both of the hosts and in fact even with a degree in electrical engineering, Mr Dog Poop struggles to understand the basic component parts. Of course that degree was back when TV's were made with vacuum tubes and houses were built with fuses and not circuit breakers. So he is a bit dated to understand modern technology. And we can't forget about Jeff Macolino, his focus was all out on trying to assemble something that at least looked like a robot after Mr Dog Poop embarrassed him on the P51 broadcast when Jeff failed to complete the project. But ...read more
