- That meal was 2,000 milligrams of sodium.
- Flashes of just, heat.
- No, I hate throwing up.
(dramatic orchestral music)
- Damn.
- [Maggie] Being prepared for disasters
is something that is important for people
across the globe.
The American Red Cross and FEMA recommend
putting together a kit of supplies
that last at least 72 hours.
This includes non-perishable, easy to prepare food.
We tried to make it on one of these three-day
survival food kits.
- So we're gonna be doing the 72-hour
survival food challenge.
- For the next three days, we're only gonna be
eating emergency food.
- And it's only supposed to last three days,
in the hopes that someone will come save us.
- I think I have a little bit of survivalist in me.
- I'm the kind of person who always wants to be prepared.
- I can weave rope, but I don't have
emergency food supply.
- Especially we're in California,
so there's gonna be and earthquake soon,
it sounds like.
And there's just disasters happening everywhere.
I just wanna be ready.
- It looks like easy-mac.
Carefully add two cups of boiling water.
I have to wait eight to nine minutes,
but I think I'm gonna eat it in four.
- It smells pretty home-cooked, I think.
- I approve.
I like it a lot.
This is great. I'm really excited.
Welcome back to Cooking in Bags with Maggie.
- This is my dinner today.
- This is an old family recipe.
- It reminds me of my old college cafeteria food.
- Really freakin' good.
- How is it?
- I like it.
- Okay, but I do need it back for my calories.
Come on.
- This is actually really good.
- Just a little bit.
That's so good!
It's lunch time.
The beef stroganoff.
I don't know what stroganoff is,
but it sounds good.
Lunch time,
lunch time was where things went all wrong.
This one is pretty high in sodium.
So, as I'm finishing the beef stroganoff,
I'm hitting a wall where it just
feels very creamy.
My chest is like, uncomfortable,
in like, this area.
And my body just like,
went into like a weird
shock.
I don't wanna throw up.
No, I hate throwing up.
I wonder how Maggie's doing.
I wonder if she's had the beef stroganoff yet.
- Like, Kane messaged me, and was like,
"Hey, how are you doing? Have you had
"the beef stroganoff yet?"
And I was like, "Oh yeah."
I'm sweating.
I don't know if it's the heat,
or if it's the salt coursing through my veins.
He goes like, "How do you feel?"
I was like, "Weird."
I feel weird.
It's been a rough couple of days.
Three days, two and a half?
I think it's just the sodium that's getting to me.
Really want fresh food right now.
I just, fresh food, nothing freeze-dried, please.
- [Co-Worker] You ate the whole bag, Kane, one meal?
- Yeah, I've been eating the whole
bag of all of this.
- Kane.
- You've got, that means you had,
I mean, if you ate this, that would mean,
what's eight times three, 24?
2400 milligrams of sodium.
- Okay, you're gonna kill him.
- On the last day, I wanted to finish strong.
For lunch, I heated up the pasta primavera.
I ate half of it.
And then I just could not eat anymore.
Looked in the fridge and like, grabbed a
like, the little bell pepper things,
where you can just snack on.
The juiciest thing I've ever eaten.
Like, I came alive from eating that.
- I could eat a whole head of lettuce.
I just need something fresh.
- I feel like I still will get some of these
for my emergency pack, for when I need it.
Because at the end of the day,
we struggled so much with this because
we're not in an emergency situation.
- I still have shelter and clothes and internet.
The only thing I'm having to deal with right now
is just the food.
- In emergency situations, what we initially see,
there's like, probably ten more issues
that people are dealing with.
- This made me realize that I'm in a place right now,
where I can actually help.
I'm gonna donate some money to help.
It should be something that I do more often.
