howdy there Turtles skirt with like ow today we're going to be trying out some new food that was sent to us courtesy of Mountain House Kenny over at Mountain House thank you so what we have today that we're going to be testing out is actually their breakfast skillet this is the breakfast skillet Pro pack and this is new sort of graphics for them they'll be coming out basically I think on all the products this year and this meal is going for $6 79 cents a few things are different with this Pro pack it's a little bit smaller proportion wise and it's kind of hard to see because it's vacuum-seal but basically this package is 500 calories and what's in here we got hash brown scrambled eggs mixed with pork sausage patty peppers and onions I could eat breakfast pretty much any meal of the day so but this is vacuum-sealed for a few reasons one take up a little bit more excuse me less space in the pack and I asked Kenny you know why was vacuum-sealed he said for that reason second for those that are going to be using or taking this with with them to high elevations in the mountains that potentially the freeze-dried food could expand when you get it to higher elevation so it's vacuum sealed it won't do that kind of cool right talk a little bit more about mountain house and these free drives freeze-dried food in general but got the water going down right now take that off get in here take out that little freshness pack which is right there and then we see the goodies in there

salivating yet why wait grab a mouse okay got that opened up set that down let me get that lid off and get this water in there all right make sure we still got a cup of water that looks pretty good so what I want to do is dump this in here carefully without knocking over the packet and without burning my hand might not be enough water we're gonna we're gonna see spoon I made stir this around sure get all the corners and then mmm seal this up see on all that heat okay so what we got now sealed up I got the one cup of water in there stir and clothes optional after four minutes stir it again so let's stand about eight or nine minutes it's really nice about these freeze-dried and dehydrated food is that it's super efficient for packing food in your pack if you're going to be going out camping backpacking in that realm because you're just carrying you know the food basically with all the moisture taking out of it which moisture weighs a lot so you get the benefit of having the food without the weight you just add the hot water and a ready cooked meal in this conveniently you know sort of packaging and cooking container you can use as a trash bag after that because it has a seal top to it and I've been pretty impressed with that with the flavors of mountain house and I've looked through the ingredients but nonetheless you know not bad for a bad for what it is I'd say it's been about three minutes to put that in there I'll give it another five that'll take me to so if I carry the one divided by 1.5 okay while we're waiting a new spoon I made for myself out of some cherry wood I came from my grandmother's yard a cherry tree that's dying it took down the limb actually I think two limbs but here's one of the spoons I made pretty cool right it'd be a little bit thin make it thicken it up back here a little bit but we'll see how she fares really fun fun carving and I plan to do actual you know series on the carving tools I use so stay tuned for that and for you're interested in that let me know alright it's been four minutes I'm gonna stir this as I mentioned before you could as an optional direction and I'll do that yeah I think the amount of water put in there should work well should work well you know it's taste test this I'm kind of hungry pull a little bit out of there see how it tastes real quick not quite finished but not bad not bad maybe we could use some sriracha let this go in over four minutes and then we'll my final impressions and start eating so all right

time's up all right doesn't get in here should have brought some hot sauce I am a hot sauce addict I you don't everything okay stirring this up hmm

not the most appetizing but you know what I pretty much eat anything I'm not a super picky eater check out some potatoes on that hashbrown no piece of meat egg take another bite take another bite honestly it's not too bad not too bad at all and now you know it's kind of what I expected because what is this I think the third the third Mountain House meal I've done a video on and the other ones have been really good considering other ones have been really good so not surprised that yeah this sort of real medley of ingredients in this one doesn't taste too bad the other texture is a little different definitely not as uh you know the same consistency if you made this in a frying pan or anything like that but it's pretty good honestly it really is in what I carry this and take this yeah I would like I said how you breakfast anytime of the day you know definitely a a decent meal from mountain house and these types of meals are great I mentioned before about taking camping or backpacking hiking anything that but also I keep a couple of these in the back of my truck because you never know you just never know and it's wintertime especially to have some extra supplies you know actual kit in your car is a great idea and having food something like this is a great idea to keep in your car and just to have some of the house you know some non-perishable foods I think this has about a 10 year 10 year shelf-life which is you know pretty impressive overall just you know a nice nice little meal in a bag self-contained super easy to boil water we're trying out this little stove today and that worked really well - boy that cup of water so leave a comment all the video be like mountain house this is correct signing out the mouthful of food
