hello hello thanks for tuning in today we're going to look at the 72-hour survival food
kit by four patriots i'm not going to go into a taste test because i have had these foods
before they are decent they are a good survival food kit as far as taste goes this video is more
showing you how many people this kit is for how many calories you actually get out of it and
what kind of i guess results in weight you can expect off of some of the suggested caloric
intakes that health providers suggest so this is their 72 hour survival food kit
for patriots on the back here just goes into all their stuff designed for long term made in the usa
every purchase helps support veterans that's good
american owned american made that's really all you see on the back a lot of information
so
sorry about that so it came with three different packages of food
the first one we're gonna look at is the grammy sweet ome oatmeal
it's about 15 and a half and uh alan says it makes eight servings
each serving is 210 calories you need eight cups of boiling water so this is going to be a total
of 1600 calories 1680 calories and that's what you have to pay attention to in these survival kits is
how many calories you actually get so there's eight servings in here you get 1 680 calories
the next package it came with was america's finest mac and cheese again some more marketing
9.74 ounces it makes four servings each serving is 260 calories and you're gonna need three and
two thirds of a cup of boiling water and guys if you haven't seen my solar sun kettle video
go ahead and click the link above um you'll be surprised at the results with that as well
so look here sodium's a little high that's suspected with all these survival foods
but four servings at 260 calories that's 1040 calories
so 1040 1680 and the last bit of food they give you is the creamy rice
and vegetable dinner this is again four servings at 260 calories that is 1040 calories
and this is two and a half cups of boiling water so total you're gonna need
two and a half that's five six
so you're gonna need you're gonna need about 14 cups of water to cook this as well so be
aware of that even though it's a survival food you're going to need 14 cups of water
so 1680 10 40 and 10 40. total calories in this 72 hour survival kit is 3760.
so generally the minimal caloric intake for a day
healthcare providers generally say and this is cited from different various online i'm not a
healthcare professional so don't quote it but they say about 800 a day in a survival situation that's
you not moving sitting still and just literally surviving um that'll bring you to 2400 calories
a day i'm sorry for a 72 hour period so 800 calories a day is 2 400 for 72 hours
you'll generally lose up to a pound and a half of body weight a day if you're eating like that um
so this would technically if you're in a minimal survival situation this would get you past that
this actually provides 1250 calories a day so for 72 hours it's 37.60 you're still gonna lose about
a pound of weight a day if you're just surviving on this so it's always good to supplement it with
something else but in short is this a 72 hour survival kit yes for one person so to maintain
your weight with minimal work a male needs 2 400 calories a day or 7 200 calories over
72 hours so 100 calories an hour for 72 hours active up to 3 000 a day or 9 000 for that same
72 hour period so this will not have you working doing strenuous stuff because anything over that
as well as a female still needs around 2 000 calories a day to maintain weight or actively
up to 2400 a day so respectively 72 hours would be 6 000 calories and 72 for 70 200.
so will this get you by yes will it get you by the minimum standard yes
with a few hundred to spare so 1253 calories a day will get you by in a survival situation stay
tuned for the video when we try this out these definitely have a long shelf life so this for
patriots 72-hour survival kit is for one person in my opinion this is a one-person survival kit
since this is a one-person survival kit how i would do it and this is
not necessarily how to do it or an instruction on how to do it
since there's eight servings of this oatmeal i would do two servings a day
that would leave me two servings left over so it'd be 420 calories every morning from this
and then i would do
one and one third of a cup of this a day that would give me the four servings
over the course 72 hours that'd be about 300 calories so we'd have what five
620 calories right there a day and then i do another one on one third of this
another couple hundred calories so that's how i would split it up in my opinion
this is only for one person so i hope this helps thanks for watching please subscribe
