:rofl:

( I've had some Zone bars in the past ( several years ago ). I thought they were pretty good. But my memory might be faulty there. )
They are a staple for me. I often have a zone bar as a meal replacement when I can't face eating anything else and I always have a few different flavors of them in my EDC bag and my 24/48/72 hour bags.  What this challenge has taught me is that I can put together other shelf stable foods that are nearly as convenient as the Zone bars, although, they may require some heating or other preparation, in a package that takes up just a little more space than the box or bag of Zone bars always has.  Also, don't forget your spork and your hot sauce!

Chow Day 2130

Ate the rest of the beef stroganoff, this time cooked per directions with boiling water.  I also made some of hot chocolate mix while waiting for the food to rehydrate.

The freeze dried meal is definitely better when made in accordance with the directions.  I think the solar bag isn’t bad if you will have sun and same prep as cold soaked.

Shockingly I became rather full after and didn’t even go in for pudding, remaining half or ice cream sandwich or other snacks/lunch.  It makes me a little disappointed.  I might have to try the tuna or beef/cheese stick tomorrow, just because.

Chow Day Wrap:


First off: this was a fun challenge!  A big thank you to everyone who joined in and participated with enthusiasm and good humor ( the attitude, not the ice cream.  ;) ). I awl-ways find that the peeps here at MTo know how to have fun and make the most of a challenge. You guys make doing these challenges worthwhile.

I had fun searching out some items that I don't usually look for or eat. ( I have some extras that just didn't make it into the GSMRE. They'll get used over time, I'm sure. ) I had fun putting the GSMRE together. It was fun to use it ( or not ) today for meals, as such they were. And I enjoyed messing around with some stoves. ( I'm not surprised Barry has a small collection. Mine seems to be growing, too. )

By the end of the day, I had consumed only about 1400 Kcal.

This is far short of the 2400 Kcal target, but conditions and exertions seemed to suppress my appetite until evening. One could blame the GSMRE design for not being more appetizing, but I really think it was being hot, thirsty, and hiking hard in the middle of the day that killed my interest in food.

I had been looking forward to my freeze-dried breakfast, but that was a disappointment. Still, I'm sure I'll be tempted to try additional freeze dried meals in the future. ( I've used them often enough in the past. ) I'll continue to be careful not to add excessive water, but overly hydrated food is probably better than under-rehydrated food.

Highlights for me were the seasoned olives and the Chana masala. Those were quite good and are likely to show up on Nix camping trips in the future. The Chana was a bit heavy ( like an actual MRE ), but I think it would be great used on car-camping trips.

I have to go back through the thread and re-visit some of the great meal ideas you awl put together. Sounds like a nice task to do with a cup of instant sweetened with some condensed milk.  Future trips will require meals and GSMRE's!  :D  :tu:

Hi!

Really nice GSMRE's!

I'm impressed with Reamer Punch's keto GSMRE! I liked!

Comis also assembled a looking tasty GSMRE. (I'm a big fan of noodles). The hot pot looked Good!

Aleph and his Grandpa Continuation War eating device! Wow! That's a great historic piece!

Mags, I hope the U-boat crew didn't noticed the goodies... (The tray remembered me of Steve1989, the MRE guy...)

McStitchy, all fingers in place, I hope . Nice stove!

Sos! Great GSMRE! Nice idea put some whiskey on It! (I believe the italian MRE have something alchoolic). Nice have a tot.

I've got a fair bit of food left over and might snack on some tomorrow, as well.

My hot chocolate is pure cacoa beans roasted and brewed like coffee so it isn’t sweet.  It is actually even keto.

I was so full, I didn’t even go for my ice cream at the end.  I ate about 1800 calories in total, so I think I have about half my MRE left.

Barry, nice GSMRE. Very nice stove and classic.

Nix! Great GSMRE! I liked the link with the older MRE's. Spam, M&M, Charms... Missed the Addams chewing gum.

Sorry If my memory failed to mention all great GSMRE that i saw here.

I will have to postpone our "Chow day" because I and my boy are in quarantine away from each other. We are ok (negative), but keeping all caution possible. And It is a challenge perfect to do together.

Chow day 17:40ish ( Dinner ):

This one is for Sos24:

(Image removed from quote.)


Chana heating up on the old Coleman Peak 1.

The Peak one still had some fuel in it ( and was under pressure! ) after sitting in the garage for the past....6...8....12 months? 

I added a few tablesppons of fresh fuel, pumped it up, and it fired up with one match. Truly a sturdy and reliable stove.

And, as can be seen in the photo, it has a nice low simmer feature.


(Image removed from quote.)


Overlook the weight and the bulk and you'd think this was the greatest stove ever.   :D

Chana got heated up and then Tuna and Tabasco was added at the end. ( Made with Tabasco, it has to be good! )


(Image removed from quote.)


If it looks a bit soupy, that is because I added a bit of water to help prevent scorching. ( Ask me how I know.   :whistle: )
If it looks a bit messy, that is because I stirred frequently to help prevent scorching. ( Ask me how I know.   :whistle: )

Blending Thai tuna with Indian chickpeas might not be a perfect marriage of flavors, but it worked really well. ( Must have been the Tabasco that tied it awl together.....  :rofl:  )

Yes, it is.

In my younger days, I made some crude 'energy bars'. I forget where I got the recipe, but they were dense, compact, durable, lethal when throw hard, and more or less edible. Making them involved baking and re-baking the little bricks. The kept really well and I took them on camping and fishing trips. They were completely uninspiring, but they kept one going ( because after eating several for several days I was will ing to go anywhere and do anything for some good food. )

More recently, I made some 'granola bars" that I packaged in zip top bags and stored in the freezer. I'd take a few out and pack them on trips, hikes, or office lunches. Often they would sit around for days and days, but remained good and fairly tasty.

I might be tempted to make another batch of granola bars.....if I can find the recipe....

 :rofl:

I'd be interested  :D

This was an interesting and fun challenge. I learned some things here that will carry over.  Comis' instant foods look so much better than the stuff we usually can get.  They look like real food. :drool:  I'd also especially like to try Nix's curried chickpeas.  That looked like it would be tasty with or without the added tuna.  I only ate about 1300 calories of my 2400 but I knew that would be the case.  The rest of my GSMRE will go back into my pantry.

Camp Stoves are something I think everyone should own if you honestly have the space to store them and use them.  They should be in every home for emergency use even if you never go camping.  I haven't been camping in years, but I can have a hot meal when there's a power failure.  I used to have an irrational need to buy Coleman camp stoves (the big, green, two burner stoves) every time I found one at a garage sale for under $20.  Most were barely used or in as new condition in their original boxes and were around $5 to $15.  I did get one for only $2.  When I bought a stove that was missing parts and non-functional I finally had to admit I had a problem.  I'm down to maybe 4 or 5 now. :whistle:

Great point about non-camping uses.  :tu:

I've used my 'camping' stoves on numerous occasions during power outages as well as cool weather picnics.  Even if MRs Nix and I are just going for a scenic drive, I'll toss a camping stove in the car ( along with the fixin's for hot tea ). We enjoy just stopping somewhere with a view and brewing up a hot mug of tea with a snack. And....maybe just to have a sense of self-reliance...if we go on  cross-country road trips, I'll pack along a small kettle and stove of some sort.

Messing around with the new Trangia--hidden by the pot stand/windscreen this morning....and using some of my GSMRE leftovers:





A little winding this morning, but the Trangia didn't seem to mind too much, aside from the occasional gust & flare. I'm not sure how much the stand acts like a wind break, but for larger pots it is a great little pot stand.

The coffee was fine.  :D

Messing around with the new Trangia--hidden by the pot stand/windscreen this morning....and using some of my GSMRE leftovers:


(Image removed from quote.)


A little winding this morning, but the Trangia didn't seem to mind too much, aside from the occasional gust & flare. I'm not sure how much the stand acts like a wind break, but for larger pots it is a great little pot stand.

The coffee was fine.  :D

Camp Stoves are something I think everyone should own if you honestly have the space to store them and use them.  They should be in every home for emergency use even if you never go camping.  I haven't been camping in years, but I can have a hot meal when there's a power failure.  I used to have an irrational need to buy Coleman camp stoves (the big, green, two burner stoves) every time I found one at a garage sale for under $20.  Most were barely used or in as new condition in their original boxes and were around $5 to $15.  I did get one for only $2.  When I bought a stove that was missing parts and non-functional I finally had to admit I had a problem.  I'm down to maybe 4 or 5 now. :whistle:

:agree:  A camp stove and some additional emergency preps should be in every home.  The coleman camp stoves are awesome and so reliable.  Now, there are so many options for relatively cheap that take up little to no room, that it would be easy to get and store just fore emergencies.

Having a means to make a hot beverage or meal during an unexpected “emergency” is important, I think for the mental impact as much as physical.

What is funny is the “emergency” aspect is what led me to purchase the camp stove that I now use all the time.  It was small and versatile, so I figured it would be perfect for putting in the car or bag.  When I got it, I wanted to make sure I was familiar with how to use it.  In the process, I realized that just sitting outside and making a cup of coffee over that little stove did something for me mentally.  Now, it is a habit that I do at least once (usually a couple times) a week.

So is the lesson to learn here that we carry too much for 1 day ?



Great question.

From doing a bit of reading here are a few things I've learned:

•  People engaged in active outdoor activities will use between 3000 and 7000 Kcal per day.
•  Most US rations are designed to provide around 3600 Kcal or more per day. ( Rations vary with weather conditions.)
•  The US "First Strike" ration provides 2400-2800 Kcal per day. The US DoD considers this a 'starvation' ration, meaning that soldiers will be functionally starving on this ration.
•  The "First Strike" ration was designed to be compact and light, used for only 7 days at most, and suitable for 'eating on the go', no heating or cooking involved.
•  The 2400 Kcal minimum was derived from studies that showed that while soldiers would technically be starving, the macronutrients were sufficient to maintain Soldier performance in the short term.

This is the reason we set the requirement for a 2400 Kcal minimum in this challenge. Now, it seems most of us consumed less than 2000 Kcal during the challenge. I think this reflects the conditions we experienced: we weren't very active for a full 24 hours, it wasn't bitterly cold ( from what people said ), and we awl slept in our own beds. ( Even SeaMonster got to sleep inside on a shabby matress. ) I'm willing to bet that had we done the challenge outside for 3 days or so, our calorie consumption would have gone up.

I continue to think that it is a good idea to pack a minimum of 2400 Kcal for a 24-hour stint of activity for short periods. And, as you said, it might be better to carry a little unused food than to find yourself wanting....  :tu:

I totally relate.  :tu:

I find using a small stove, disconnected from "the Grid", to be a pleasure. I derive a sense of self-reliance, independence, and confidence, in addition to just having fun and practicing some skills.   :tu:

I probably like to use the BBQ for the same reasons. ( Plus the wood smoke flavor, of course.  :D )

Hevy, you take care ! I'm playing catchup with the posts over the last 2 days !

ok, chow day wrapup - I was working and didn't take as many pics as i thought i did; - chow in a bag with brukit which i didn't use


so, brekkie was ok, i'd eat it again but use a lot less honey, the flap jack was fine though.



Lunch (chilli rice) was good I'd eat it again, had the rice cakes post main course with coffee


Dinner was the pasta


and the cooking setup -


I ate everything except the graze flapjack so I consumed about 2700 calories, which is more then i burned during the 24 hours, i do need to work on my portion control.

Dinner was a pasta added what i thought was the right amount of water and ended up with pasta soup but i was hungry and i ate it, i washed dinner down with coffee and the packet of smokehouse nuts and veggies, very good but very calorific

Eams -- it awl looked good and highly palatable.

I bet some raisin or dried apple would have perked up those oats and made breakfast a bit more exciting. But I love oats, so you can't go by me.  :D

How was the hot sauce?  :think:

Which one of you has access to the Star Wars stuff?  :D

Thanks Mags!
 The answer is: We both! I reserved for my son awl of my Star Wars toys. And after I bought for him a little more. He likes Star Wars a lot.
The Clone Wars is his favorite animation.
