Having eaten Army rations for 10 years it’s all about filling me up then taste… Always carried sachets of sauce , Tabasco, chilli flakes etc.

Very true! A range of sachets is always handy to pack. Keeps the weight down.

Agreed

If you wanted to save money buying the tinned version, just take a very small tub with a knob of butter and the same amount of ketchup. Once the meal is hot, mix the butter in and the ketchup and it gives the taste of the bean juice a creamy and rich flavour for no extra price.

Knob of butter squeeze of ketchup some pepper game changer for cheap beans 👌👌

Agreed.works a treat every time, even for my jaded palate Works well even without the butter.and the pepper. Long ago realised that the premium brands, especially Heinz are an outrageous rip-off. Branston taste good but although cheaper than Heinz, still over-priced for my budget. I realise that baked beans are only one item on the shopping list, but applying this philosophy to all my menu options offsets a small part of the high cost of travel in these economically sketchy times. Happy trekking everyone, sray safe, and recognise when it's time to bail or take the less difficult option 'coz the trail will still be there for another go when your skill, gear levels, and weather match anything the trail demands.

Amazing, a man’s ingenuity on record. Finding an excuse to eat two breakfasts for our benefit.

The tinned one is meant to be heated in a saucepan. That would boil off some of the juice and concentrate the flavour.

I agree., a good boil/fry concentrates the flavour and improves the texture. I will always fry my beans where I can.

As said by at least one other comment, tin with brown sause added helps alot. Ive also got a tin of heniz beans. Added that to the bag and the extra bits from the ADB tin. I also do the curry in a tin with some microwave rice mixed in. Works perfectly. I also preslice bacon grill in my bags.

I prefer the tinned all day or the full monty breakfast. I found the wayfarer was stodgy and bland, but everyone has a different palette of taste. I'm in receipt of a low income and do a lot of batch cooking working out roughly £1 or £1.50 a meal, so I'll look into buying some of those bags for when I go Stealth/tarp/wildcamping. I was thinking of purchasing a dehydration kit but they take a long time to dehydrate wet meals.

A man i know lives in the back of his van , hes saved literally over £100 grand cash by not paying rent over the last 12 years , its a hard life though as he has to use the gym if he needs a shower and at night has to park in woodland areas to avoid stupid gangs that roam our country as he used to camp up in Wimbledon due to work commitments but there he kept getting grief , anyway he regularly just cooks using a small camping stove with those throw away gas bottles , I think he's done well as i could not last a week living in my vehicle it would be way too cold , he has no diesel heater just uses lots of sleeping bags and a bottle of whiskey a night to keep him warm LOL

Good to see the taste tests back.

AHHH we're talking food!!! PERFECT im going hammocking tomorrow for 2 nights and need to find meal ideas so ive came at a good time!

I was wrong the tin is Hunger Beaks which is Cross and Blackwell. Both taste good though when your hungry.

Hi Dan another great video even though you're ill. I hope get better soon 🙏.

I totally understand the balance between calorific value vs taste vs cost, but all in all, I much prefer the tinned ADB every time. Strangely I keep mine in the tin and just dip the opened tin into boiling water, stir occasionally and it works a treat, crush down the empty tin and take it back home for disposal. Nearly two tins for the price of one wayfayrer, does the job for me.

Hello Dan I’m glad you’re feeling better 🙏 looking forward to Another Hotel Hunter soon 🤞

We are loving your tried and testing food stuff mate me and the Mrs are definitely foodies love your steak cooking especially

I honestly love these kind of videos 👍

Great video. Very informative, thanks.

When i have just woke up in the wood/hills, or its the end of the day and i'm cold and hungry, flovour tends to go out the window for me, so long as it warm/hot and calories is all that matter.

Good informative video Dan keep up the good work 👏 🙌 👍 👌

Never tried all day breakfast in the tin. I am going to try it now. Thank you, Mr. Woodman.

I'm 5mins into the video, I reckon tinned is gonna be much better 💯% P.s, still on the hunt for a #unicorn pillow... Lol!!! ❤

Did same test at home when you you showed us those bags , worth trying other tinned meals and transfering into bags , been experimenting with different spices as well 👍

Hey Dan love adventures mate watching from Cornwall

I'm one of those who said that tinned stuff is cheaper but I was talking about Asda basics bangers & beans at 58p for 405g 😂😅 Based on you saying that the omlette & tiny sausages were tasteless and if I using a reseal bag I would go for the better quality meat in the all day breakfast in the tin and splash a bit of brown sauce in with it when bagging it up. For me, the meat is far more important than the beans and it looks like you get far more meat in the tin than the pouch and the whole meal is also 33% bigger.

Tin will be best IMO The tinned ones deffo used to have little egg bits in them as well. Used to buy a few before a beer session back in the day, nice hangover scoff. 👍

Tinned would be my guess. Interesting video Dan regards Tony

Hey Daniel. . . Hope you're well! 🤗👍

Mylar bags are great,Dan. You can have a larger choice of varieties of food, either cook it yourself first, or like you, from a can. So much money to be saved. Also, if you make a load up in one go, you can freeze a load, and have them instantly, for an ‘emergency camp out’. ( Try and squeeze all the air out, before you seal them up😉). All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧⛺️

The game changer is the bags you can buy. With the money you save on the tin variety.

Hi Dan I think after your taste test the wayfarer is better as for the extra cost flavour is more important to me in my opinion. Look forward to your next test. Cheers Graham

We have used the full monty all day breakfast, quick and easy, filling and warms you up when out in the English weather!!! after setting up camp!!

I always use wayfarer and the coconut chicken curry one is very amazing and great taste 😋 and i use a mess tin and boil the water to cook my food packet inn and then make a brew with the water so it is 2 in one cooking and very amazing video well done and keep up the great work and get well soon

Hi Dan , Back in the Man Cave I see , I reckon the Tinned food will taste the best ! 🙂

All day long Dan, it's so easy to make your own, and it'll taste so much better.

I been watching from Arizona USA. Flagstaff actually. Dan your hella funny bro.

Love it👍

Like these videos Dan

I think make your own.. .. a tin of hot dogs and cut them up to your own size. Divvy up a tin of beans between how many portion bags you want. ..cook some bacon ( cool then slice up into small pieces.)..you can add a few potatoes cut into small servings from a tin ( which as a breakfast can replace sortee potatoes… it needs putting into bags that can freeze though if making a larger amount and save for another day..unless using the same day…(defrost before re-heating..)

Advantage of the tinned one is that you can add stuff to it when you put it in the bag, sauce, curry extra egg. Disadvantage is it won't keep too long once out of tin, wouldn't risk more than a day myself.

If I pre make some I freeze them

Thanks for these kinds of videos Dan, it’s interesting to see the difference in flavours. With regards to the bags, do you use the bigger ones off Amazon, as it says they are £24 for £50 not £4.49 ? I have had the summit pasta bolognese and thought it tasted nothing like bolognese ! 🤦🏼‍♂️ My Personal favourite is the chicken fried rice 😊

I use bags like that, make my own stews, chilli’s and curry’s and freeze them.. when I want one I just take out of freezer and they have defrosted by the time I am ready to eat. So much cheaper than the Wayfarer style meals and so much tastier.

Where do you get your bags from please Russel 👍👍

The tin but I personally would make my own from scratch if I’m making my own bag to take with me then I could add some black pudding. Nice video m8

You’ve made me hungry now!

What gives you the most energy etc that's something you should compare too. 👍

For cheaper meal you could buy smart price sausage and beans in a tin.

Would go for neither of them , go to a good butcher’s and get some proper bacan and sausage and black pudding and decent eggs while there as well , and don’t forget the mushrooms, have tried a fair few of them package meals and nothing compares to the real deal, unless hiking for days on end just bring some proper food for the night 👍not having a go at you personally 🙏🏻, love your channel 🫡

Making up your own pouches with good beans and sausages you like would still be cheaper. I put home made curry and rice in the pouches and vac seal them - great for the one night wild camps.

"pork and egg nuggets" sound like a scotch egg to me 😅 Jealous of your camp store room, get well soon mate👍

As for "calories per tin / packet" the tinned version wins hands down (442kcal vs 381kcal). So "price wise" you get 442kcal for £2.30 or 381kcal for £4.50. This equals 192kcal per £1.00 spent (tinned) or 84kcal per £1.00 spent (packet). Personally I love the "Hunger Breaks" brand and like you Dan, I remember when they were much cheaper. You can keep tinned foods for ages and putting them in a 50p bag saves just a little weight, but not a lot. When you are only doing an over-nighter or a 2-3 day trip the extra cost of the bag seems inapproriate to the extra weight, plus you may be adding an extra issue for waste management. My personal preference for a 2-3 day trip is just four basic types of things. 2 tins of meat (spam / corned beef and/or chicken), 3 tins of veg (carrots / peas etc) - drained into sealed containers, some dried pasta and/or potato powder (smash-type) and some cheese (grated or block -depending on the lenght of the trip). Add all the usual dried items such as coffee/ sugar/ milk powder/ gravy granules/ salt/ pepper/ some herbs and spices/ oxo cubes (less than 300 grams) and I am good for that short trip. Plus I allow for breakfast / supper items such as a bag of porridge or breakfast bars and hot-chocolate drinks. The added bonus is that nothing has to be "cooked" (The dried pasta has to be boiled but I re-use the water), as it is all ready to be eaten when re-heated or boiled. For longer trips I just try to arrange to get to a supermarket / shop to resupply the basics (tinned meat/veg, pasta/smash and cheese), before I run out. Then I am good for another few days. The good thing about this system is that you can easily find shops along the way to sell you the basics that you need and if you get a bonus like the "Hunger Breaks" breakfast it will not be out of place with your regular food items / weight (in your bag). I have never been a big advocate for packet-hiker meals. They are expensive and lead to a dependence on so-called quick meals when it is just as easy to produce your own for a 1/3 of the cost but with just a little extra weight. They can save weight if you are travelling in an area which has a plentyfull water source, but can be more troublesome when you don't have that access to water. Plus they are often less calorific compared to other options. Having a bag of peanuts / raisins / dried banana slices will give you a better long term energy kick than many other items. I know I have talked about "longer" hiking trips than you normally do Dan and although I really love the short trek videos you produce (seriously I do enjoy them all - honestly) I would love to see how you would prepare for a longer journey of maybe 3 - 5 days. So here is my challenge to you: Show us you preparation for a 3-4 day hike with no shop-stops. Make it a round-trip from your house if you like, but stay out for 3-4 days with what you have in your bag (Yes you can collect water from taps / houses and streams) you can forage for food (no dumpster-diving behind McDonalds or ALDI --- LOL) and you have to carry everything you need for those 3-4 days (except water). Can you do it? I think you will easily do it and the video/videos will be brilliant. Good luck.

I like the tinned breakfast. The "meatballs" used to have egg in them but it's awhile since I have had one since the price doubled from 99p. Only £1.99 in farmfoods

I would go for the tins in the foil bags because you can add stuff to it to make a meal you like but you can't with the sealed bag meals.Campbells have some chunky soups that are pretty good.

I'd go for the tins Dan. Cheaper, meatier and can always improve the flavour just by adding a little curry powder or chilli powder so still cheaper.

Gotta say Dan ,I'd go for tinned,,, as wirh any beans I cook , I have to add some butter ,as they lack the taste for me ... and they can be heinz or supermarket saver ones . Try doing a tin one again ,with about a spoon of butter. See if the taste improves ??

With these Mylar type bags, they're great for a proper stealth camp coupled with Flamesless Ration Heaters, FRH, no smoke, no flames, no smell. You do need to wait around 12-15minutes though, but great for when setting up camp. The tinned brekky would be my choice, but the wayfayers are a designed meal, calorific count, nutrition values etc. I've even done my own full brekky, with an egg in Mylars. Great bit of kit, especially if you have special dietary requirements.

FRH’s give off hydrogen as a byproduct which is flammable. The US are designing a new air activated one which will replace them :)

I like to add some cheddar cheese and oregano to that all day breakfast tin, always comes out well. The beans aren't the best but can't beat the price and the more meat

I am getting over the flu too buddy. I know how you feel.👍

I would pre-cook my own ready for heating at the campsite

The wayfarer pouch you will find it has more goodness in it like calories etc as it is designed specifically for outdoor venture as with ration packs for M.O.D😊

Little bag of mild curry powder to spice things up and give either a bit of extra flavour.

The best of them all were the Morrisons all day breakfast, sausages, proper bacon and black pudding nuggets with beans and the sausages were proper sausages as well not those mushy things.

I've had wayfarer all day breakfast cost £ 4.50 they taste, all day breakfast in a tin is cheap but I prefer wayfarer more taste, thanks Dan for a great video

Wayfarer is way overpriced, just like Mountain House and the other "hiking" meals !

I'll go for tinned to be best. Personally I have used the British Army all day breakfast pouches in the past.

Can anyone say if the silver sealer bags can freeze.i heard once they can’t so i am not sure. I vacuum seal the clear plastic ones off a roll and freeze if i have to,defrost then re-heat…. If using freezer bags i empty contents into a cook pot before heating. Not sure if those type of bags are good for heating but are good for freezing.

I used to eat those dehydrated / ready type meals , but they just seam to bung me up. Would not bother with them now tbh . Koko chicken or curry noodles with a pepperami chopped up in in does me lol . Honest try it , you will love it .

I make my own energy bars for snacking between meals great energy boost

im thinking of getting a food dehydrater and make curries, chilli con carne, and beef stew with dumplings etc once im up and running dan ill send you some freebies for you to test yourself

Swiss here. Never heard of that dish before! Will try to get ahold of one when I in the UK next. Tried finding it locally... no can do, Amazon UK want ≈ 50£ to ship 6 cans ... too risky 😅

Wow that's expensive.

I use the tins with herbs mixed in i prefer them that way tried the wayfarer don't like them but thats my preference

I prefer the tin Dan, 95g more and a lot cheaper. You can always add a little flavour or more ingredients to your homemade bag. Great vid with top tips.

‘95 grams more’…. That’s a good point, as well being being cheaper you are also getting more contents in the tin that what is contained in the MRE packet. 🤔

The tin for me, half the price and more filling. i add some pepper and HP sauce to mine when I put it in the bag, it's an absolute winner 👌

Let’s just put it out there you can just bout make 2 tins for the price of 1 wayfarer simple really.All the very best Dan 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I prefer Taste and Quality they go hand and hand. I also buy items if i like em and found any dehydrated id buy them for sure gotta stay with water in jugs or cases leave bottles in vehicle or tent lets go hiking then we can eat later.

I would try different tinned all day breakfasts,

Tinned will be best , used to have them when I carp fished years ago

Come to Scotland Danny. Butchers Beef Sausage, Bacon Lardons, H Beanz in my Mylar bags. Sometimes scrambled egg in another. I know you like yer grub pal.

try making cowboy beans with the tin- add a oxo cube for a change and more flavour

I find the wayfarer very salty, and think this may be a good thing if one has lost salt walking ect, cheers Dan for your content .

I will only make 3 days worth, and as a personal rule I don't put any seafood in them. Unless you have a way of keeping them chilled. I tend to make a few breakfasts, and a couple of pasta dishes. However you can't beat cooking a good steak on a open fire. Hope this helps. Good luck with your adventure, and keep safe.

Tin!! Add sachet of sauce of choice salt/pepper.. 2 days for price of 1

What's the calorific difference? Which packs the bigger punch in calories? What is the fat/salt/sugar content?

do you take a Trangia which is 100 grams heavier than a lightweight gauze one which is more efficient and the best one to take

The tinned one to improve flavour a bit tomato paste would inhance taste , also I would add a bit black pudding, where did you get the pouches from? Mark.

I would say the tinned one will taste best…..I’ll find out soon 😉

I'd say the tin will taste better, although like some of the others who have commented I usually knock up my own brekky at home and then just warm it up at camp

My guess is the wayfarer will taste better but it won't taste good enough to justify the price difference between the two

Never tried the pouch, but have had the tin. The tin is ok if you don't have multiple pans. Great in a mess tin.

What size are the bags. I'm going to try some 😊

What about taste testing different tins of all day breakfasts to see if any come close to the flavours of the wayfarer one.

Put a little know of salted butter in before cooking thickens the sauce and adds flavour

I moto camp so thepacks win every time, good vid

Can someone please send a link for the sealed bags that you pour the tin in I can’t find them

the tins aint bad just to have in the cupboard as a quick meal

I think the tinned one will taste the best x

The tinned one Dan, but has the other got more calories. I’ve tried both. Maxx

i usually have tins of beans frozen bacon / defrosting i have 6 eggs in an egg container ( plastic ) this lasts 3 days unless i have moor and 1 kg tins of stew for dinner a bag of porridge and some tins of fruit mostly peaches' and ill forrage and hunt game...

I would use the tin, but add some tomato puree to increase tomato flavour

Personal choice. Bought a load of various Wayfarer meals a couple of years ago. Never again !

I like the one in the tin ( or as we say the can (( since cans don't use tin anymore)) )
