RCIR Menu 2 - Field Test With Additional Foraging
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
OK, firstly, this video is LONG! Skip Timecodes are provided for the main meals; more detailed timecodes are further below.
Nextly, there's a fair bit of flex and cheating in this video - that is, I brought along drinkable water, cooking utensils and a little bit of oil for frying.
Finally, not everything in the ration pack got tested in this video, and in each meal, I modified each meal by supplementing foraged ingredients. The remaining canned items I will open in a future video.
I'm exploring this ration pack in collaboration with Alana from A Kayfabe - here are links to Alana's videos (check them out as her pack was different to mine, despite being the same menu number):

For some reason, when I don't see Atomic Shrimps face, I imagine it's a retired Alan Grant from Jurassic Park running around in the forest making food videos.
This reminds me of when I was a kid. My dad got a job in Poland with Elf petroleum. We'd always go mushroom picking with one of his workmates Kristoff. We'd see steam-trains go past the forest every so often, and put our 1 zloty coin on the track, so the train would flatten them 😄

As someone who's very interested in wilderness survival and food storage, I find these types of videos immensely fascinating. I'm impressed with your knowledge of wild edibles and with your ingenuity in using those ingredients to extend the caloric value of your ration packs. I'd like to see more content like this, please!
here in Vancouver my GF and I go car foraging in the tonier areas, as their fruit trees overhang out over the streets, so I park the car under neath and open the sunroof, she stands sock footed on the car seat and is able to select her choice of fruits and nuts, apples, pears, persimmons and chestnuts, it is really very funny to observe us, she takes quite a lot of delight in getting free fresh groceries, but a little scared to be reviewed on peoples security cameras later, I say value of entertainment of this lovely Asian lady carefully foraging through a car sunroof, many would give her a pass, we are parked on the road with the trees overhanging us and Vancouver is famous for having foreign owned and being empty anyway, likely we are helping the owners in the long run

I've been binge watching these videos over the past month while I've been sick and bedridden, they're super calming and fun. But the bit with the crab apples made me laugh, when I was a kid I tried one even after being warned and was horrified. I was always told eating too many would make you sick, though I think that's just an old wives tale.

My grandfather told me once about a ration pack he had. It contained caramel candies, cigarettes, and chewing gum. The caramels were meant to be surges of calories and sugar to keep you going and the gum was meant to keep you going when the cigarettes ran out. While that energy drink mix probably isn't tasty, I'd bet it comes with a lot more vitamins and electrolytes than his caramels. In the end, it would keep you going longer to do what you did today; forage for actual food sources. But holy moly. He said he'd rather find no food in the woods than get stuck with the pack that had menthols in them. I love your videos. Always inspires me to go out into the woods with my little guy. Thank you very much.
I watch and enjoy all your videos and never comment, but something about this video I just LOVED. So peaceful, put me in such a happy and relaxed mindset. I know it doesn’t get as many views as other videos, but I would really love more longer videos like this :)
hi Shrimp! I came across your channel recently and I honestly fell in love with all your videos especially the ones including your foraging footage! I realise that these types of raw and realistic videos are scarce in the youtube community and I hope you would truly continue to produce videos with your own unique style. Support you always!
"Wow, there's actually a little sausage in there. Oh, there's two! How Delightful!!!"
I’ve rewatched this whole video 4 times now (not back to back of course) and I don’t think i’ll ever get bored of this!!!
I'm so glad I found your channel! Your videos not only have loads of informative and educational content, but they're really calming to watch (you've got a nice voice!) and it's entertaining to see you do your own thing.
An hour long vid. What a treat. Love the foraging side of your outdoor trips. Thank you.
This video was surprisingly calming, I definitely enjoy these field test and foraging videos I don’t even mind that it’s an hour long it’s really entertaining.
No matter the crummy day i’ve had you make me feel better. Calmer, relaxed and inspired to follow my interests. Thank you for all your hard work and efforts. Extremely appreciated.
You're such an amazing human being, it's like being there with a friend that's giving you really good advice! Thank you Mr. Shrimp
I was so happy to see another one of these appear! I think these might be my favourite next to weird stuff in a can.
I totally agree keeping busy and expending energy so you can sleep is important. I made a bow and arrow over 2 weeks when being homeless. Food wasn't the problem, asda was just up the road. Finding wood was a chore that tired me out but I had to find something to do when sat by campfire I kept lit for 2 weeks straight over snowy Christmas.
Hey man, love your vids and loved this one as well. Regarding the red shrooms, I'd personally advise against eating them at all, cooked or not. Hallucinogenic mushrooms tend to be unpredictable even when cooked and those toxins, while it's true that they would degrade, they will never be completely gone and it's just not good for the liver/kidneys. So it's really not worth the risk imo.

I know you must see me clearly travelling through all your videos as I've only recently found your channel, but I thoroughly enjoy everything you do. Though I won't be venturing out as much the way you do, I've really grew an interest over a year in planting my own flowers and veg. I've found it very hard to keep them alive and watched here and others to try and learn and it is going well. I want to begin foraging in future. Thank you for the content.

I do wonder how or when you started foraging, and reference guides to reccomend or other sources.

I've been foraging most of my adult life (and a little bit of less-adventurous foraging such as blackberries, since as long as I can remember) - I just kind of picked up all the ideas along the way. No, maggots in fungi are not a reliable indicator of edibility for humans; insects have quite different body chemistry to people - they are immune to many things that will kill us, and vice versa. The only way to be sure a fungus is edible is to identify the species and be sure of that identification

Obviously this is an old comment, but if you do decide to start learning to forage, I'd recommend you find an expert that would be willing to go with you or allow you to go with them on a foraging exercise. Videos and pictures are good starting guides, but, especially for mushrooms, you really need someone in person to help you learn to identify edibles properly. It does take years of practice; however, foraging can be a brilliant hobby!
You make such informative videos. Please make more long videos like this when ever you have the chance. It helps me relax and fall asleep. Due to my restless leg syndrome I'm quite agitated when I try to fall asleep, but your videos are very relaxing and I fall asleep because of the endorphin kick they give me.

I’m glad you’ve stuck to ur guns and doggedly maintained the channel’s variety despite pressure from both viewers and YT itself. The result seems far more sustainable and both avoids that classic ‘KZread burnout’ and also shows a broader, deeper impression of your personality and interests. And being an apparently well-adjusted, well-rounded chap, there’s a really nice mix of intriguing, original videos. In short, a unique channel. Thanks, subscribed.
