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.
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

Pocket Sandwich Maker Review In Monday's episode the guys were on fire, well not on fire more like burned all over by the pocket sandwich maker. It is just plug in and go with no on off switch or temperature control. So be ready when you plug it in, it gets hot very fast. Does it make sandwiches? It sure does and many were approved by Fat Chris who appeared on camera long enough to take bites out of the very hot sandwiches and scurry back to his desk to finish eating them. The guys tried traditional grilled cheese with limited success but also got creative with pizza pockets, chili dog pockets, hand and Swiss, roast beef and provolone and a few mixes including trying to cook an egg that ended up mostly on the table. Overall the appliance we OK and that is just OK. The sandwiches mostly ...read more
