I've never been in the military, but I remember my great uncles telling me about WWII. The new soldiers would stuff their bags with ammo but the soldiers that were there a while stuffed as much food as they could where they had extra room. That always stuck with me since I was a little kid., over 40 years ago. Good food is hard to find.

The wife and I have a get home bag each at about 10 to 11 lbs in weight for each one. With the main goal of getting home within 72 hours on foot, we each carry life boat rations as our main source of calories. No heating of water necessary. Add some hard candies and maybe some slim jims or jerky. Main idea is to travel as fast as possible and eat on the go. The rest of the bag/s are made up of the basics of survival items and each bag is a stand alone kit for one person. Additional items including personal protection(CCW) a treking pole each, and appropriate clothing are also carried in the car/van/truck to be donned before setting out on foot.

My INCH bag is roughly 50lb with roughly 2 weeks of food. However, the INCH bag MUST be more robust than the typical bug-out-bag people talk about. WHAT is an INCH bag? It pretty much means you AREN'T leaving home unless something completely off-the-wall happens and you CAN'T go home. In such a LONG-TERM situation (INCH) you need to have just as much weight in TOOLS as you have in FOOD. TOOLS, for methods to procure Food and Water and build Shelter. Fishing kit + pole, yoyos, REAL traps and snares, axe/hatchet/hawk, a REAL saw of some kind. The FOOD in my INCH is mostly homemade Vacuum sealed rice and veggy pouches. >> Fried Rice in the field. Sardines, vacuum sealed flatbread, energy bars and such, with all the little spices, cooking oil, salt n such. My wife's pack has just as much food, but she's carrying more shelter, while i carry the tools.

I usually have mixed nuts and dried fruit as well, people often don't realise the importance of KYBO (keeping your bowel open)
a good dump is one of life's simplest most underrated pleasures. 😁 But seriously as we've discussed before if you don't learn & practice fishing, foraging, trapping, tracking & hunting now, it's not miraculously become a skillwhen your life depends on it, that message can't be stressed enough!
got a friend coming up in the next few weeks & I am taking him & my son out on an overnight camp/fish to practice skills.
it's funny his dad is my best friend of 26+ years, he's 10 years my senior, Alex his son is 26, my son is 18, I'm 50, yet we all speak to eachother with respect, learn from one another, view one another as equal & value the strengths, weakness, practical skills & knowledge we have as individuals & as a collective, age is no barrier to true friendship.

Good sound info. For immediate food I am a big fan of peanut butter mixed with dried fruit. It works great on patrol... there is a lot of calories in a jar of peanut butter. It's easy to digest and if you throw in some dried fruit or granola it can give it a little texture. Likewise kids will eat it willingly. As long as no one has a nut allergy. You can Store the peanut butter and dried fruit separately to enhance shelf life. I know it's not a real extended storage item but that's what the mountain house and backpackers pantry items are for! Great start to your inch bag series...

I found at Wal-Mart a bucket from Augason Farms that contains a 4 person 5 meal varieties 48 hour life saving kit. The bucket was 19.98 for 55 servings of food. I wanted to share this info as it may help someone. All you need is a fire a mess kit and some clean water.

Great video on food! MREs will definitely clog a fella up...good idea to chew the gum, if it's there. Wally world is a great place to find affordable food for the inch bag.

As you were!

Great Video!! If you shake and press the bag meals you can get them to lay flatter and fit in a vac bag like you mentioned. Thanks for sharing

[davidgraemesmith]

Great video SSGT Bad A$$, as far as heating food from my pack i use a nato standard hexamine/trioxane folding stove and a cheap 650ml titanium mug i bought in a sale, the mug fits in a pouch i carry a nalgene bottle in, as for food i generally have a few (4-8) individual portion pouches of M/House scrambled egg and a squeeze vac pack of home made jerky (anywhere from 100-300g) other stuff like potato flakes, oatmeal or pop-tarts in standard mylar packets, keep all my packs as light as possible so if needed i can rig em all onto my pack frame and comfortably carry over 25kg/55lb for days on end.

A regenerative heating element used with a Nintinol thermal electric generator incorporated into an absorption refrigeration unit to keep food cold and run a fan to circulate air and power LED light in your bug out fridge and to keep medications useful. 😁

This is a good show. Good to see we share the same views on food. Now I carry the french mess kit. With the lid on it I pack it full of water pouches. I also agree on stripping mre's down. The name of the game is to keep things as normal as possible in a shtf event.

Very practical ideas. I'm living/working in Middle East (don't want to type the country.... but the one currently under land/air/sea blockade by its neighbours 😳) so I'm updating my bags currently based on a few possible scenarios. Your vids & advice are always appreciated 👍

[marcschaffer]

Food! One of the most important items in the BOB! I carry bags of gorp, fruit and veggie leather, homemade granola and a few freeze dried meals. Good and tasty mix of foods and requires a minimum of preparation. I carry an MSR Pocket Rocket stove and a large fuel can, so it is lightweight and takes up very little room.

[ravenwild]

Thanks for the smile on a day that needed one.

Back in the day when the U.S. Survival Mess Kit was in use, there use to be a knife, fork and spoon with them. If you can find an original set with those, the silverware can be used for a weapon as well. I've not tried this, but the idea has come to mind, cordage and the spoon can be used as a make-shift flail; the fork and knife can be attached to a long stick for spears. Sharp and large, plus don't forget to throw in a little seasoning. A combo salt/pepper shaker or just a small bag of paper packets from a fast food place, cause c'mon, who likes bland food? I know weight is an issue with some of this, especially the ancient silverware I mentioned, thats where your hobo kit comes in, or if you want to decrease the weight even more, I've been finding some neat hard plastic-ware at Walmart. I've tried them out and they are decent for being plastic. Just food for thought, ok rambling on, shutting up now, lol, on to the next video of yours. Info is awesome, learning alot.

I'm on my way to the woods right now. Probably gonna do the ester and fire portion from my pack for your inch series. Planning on breaking it up into a few vids also.

[robinaltman]

Might want to add an arctic canteen cup. Very good for cooking

[ConfedVet]

I'm glad I know how to trap, fish, and know what will plants to eat. That food takes up a lot of space in your bug out that could be utilized for more important assets. Hoorah

I've put fiber con tabs in with all my mre main courses. So far so good. Not disagreeing with you, just decided I like mre's ok enough that I'd try to overcome the impacted bowl factor.

I have not heard anybody say behoove you in so long thank you so much
