Recap if you can't watch.

1 man living off of prep food for 30 days.

He spent 30 days on his prep food.  Mainly the freeze dried stuff that you buy at Sams/Costco.  He had a few MRE's and some Mountain House.

Like the Ready Wise Sams Club sells, the brand he used also gave him the shits.  He had the shits for 30 days bacially.

The 30 day supply food was in batches and not individual servings, so he had to cook all at once. I mean, he could have used math to portion it out when cooking.

He used 11 gallons of water to cook all his food.

5 gals to do dishes which is important for hygene

15 gals of drinking water.

Like all prep type food like this, it's high in sodium.  The 30 day stuff got boring fast.  He liked the MRE"s as it also came with extra stuff and this helped his mood greatly. 

He noted his vices like coffee and nicotine helped elevate his mood and was important.

He lost 8lbs.

Lesson Learned:


Canned goods like spam and instant noodles helps.

The 30 day stuff sucks cause it's mainly carbs and salt.  You can easily keep a bag of rice and put shoyu on top and it would be the same IMO. And it goes good with spam/vienna sausage which a lot of HI people already have in their cabinets.  So save your $ and just keep a 20lb bag rice and rotate it as it gets closer to expiration.

The water usage was interesting.

Pack immodium AD or like pills cause the shits can drain you.

MRE's usually have the opposite affect of the runs. U usually get stuck shit when eating all the time.

Coffee or other vices you have is also important to pack to keep you happy.  Instant coffee is the best as you don't have to boil water.
