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.
Wednesdays news is dominated by discussions about Jenna Ortega who is front and center the most talked about celebrity in the world today. The guys talk about her career, her evolution as an actress and show video clips of her work over the years. The show was watched by a record number of viewers including Lorne Michaels who immediately contacted Jenna to host Saturday Night Live next week. So everyone can see Jenna Ortega on SNL thanks to the publicity she garnered from Mr Dog Poop on The Man Show Live. The guys compare Christina Ricci's career and Jenna Ortega's career since they both played Wednesday Addams although at very different times in their careers. Jenna is a seasoned 20 year old actress with more than a decade of acting experience while Christina was just 10 years old and only starting her career. The fact is, both girls killed ...read more
Preserving food for the Zombie Apocalypse with a $25 Vacuum Packer Can a $25 vacuum sealer do the job. In this episode the guys manage to show their complete incompetence in operating a kitchen vacuum sealer. They just can't make it work. Is the the machine or the operators? It turns out, it was the operators and their stubborn man attitudes in failing to read the directions. Mr Dog Poop brings out a larger commercial type sealer and shows how it is done, man style. They try to preserve some severed hands, feet etc. But it looks like these guys need some help if either is going to survive the zombie apocalypse. Unless you can survive solely by drinking beer and being stupid. Since that is not likely, these guys may be SOL. But at least you can watch their incompetence live on The Man Show Monday through Friday ...read more
Soldering Motherboards for Kids OK, they are not really motherboards, they are just small printed circuit boards with simple projects for kids as part of our STEM week projects. These projects are typically under $10 and vary in scope and complexity. We tried a clock and a musical board. The first word I have to describe these is SMALL! Tiny parts, hard to read and difficult to understand, but isn't that the point? To challenge young minds with projects that make them think. Projects that build on deductive reasoning and get them off their phones for a few minutes a day. These simple projects and a less than $10 soldering iron will keep kids busy for hours. It is a good entry project into electrical engineering, helping kids understand basic components and how the boards are assembled. At one time back in the 70's you could walk into any ...read more
Reviewing 2 Bella Egg Cookers and the Hamilton Beach Dual Breakfast Sandwich MakerWhat a disaster, 2 guys drinking and cooking eggs in egg cookers and a sandwich maker. Hot dropped eggs, burned hands and Jeff eating eggs like he is at the county fair in an eating contest is what you will see in the episode of The Man Show Live. The guys manage to cook eggs and give the devices a thumbs up. But when they try to cook more the devices fail! The truth is, the guys may have been too drunk to realize that they never refilled the cookers with water, so there was no steam to cook anything. But of course they blame the appliances like true manly men. You might think after doing this so many times they would get good at it, but no, they seem to make the same man mistakes again ...read more
