It's been the, I mean, it's been the way for most of May it's the 23rd I mean ration of ruin is almost complete hey get a peek real quick at the beautiful the beautiful book cover behind you right poems for

men coming out Father's Day be there Fire will forge is in the chat. Welcome my man. Listen, we're doing something very interesting today. It's not gonna be a super long show But I'm gonna partake in something Outlandishly good. Well, actually, I don't know if it's outlandishly good It's highly it's a little white it out. We're gonna bring up the website so it's not a big deal. My buddy, what up, born to brat, in the chat. My buddy Dan Gentry sent me this. It's from a company called Essential Provisions. It's their field fuel product line. Hey, Instagram, what's going on everybody over there? Andrew health fitness. You picked a good show my man You picked a real good show. You never heard of essential provisions. Stay tuned. Okay

Alex Francois free. What's up guys? Welcome. I'm probably not gonna sit here and monitor that Instagram chat very much you can come find us at YouTube though and X and I can see the chat here. It's in and stream yard pretty well, so All transparency, this is my ex MRE. So for those of you guys who know what the hell time it is What is whoa? There's another dimension inside the MRE. See it you see it popping through I mention inside the MRE. See it? You see it popping through? I could get you the actual title, Firewolf, if you want to promote the book. Don't worry about that. I'll get you the actual cover. It'll probably be out for pre-order this

weekend too, by the way. I just got a few things to button up. But anyhow, today we're digging into essential provisions. Like I said, my buddy Dan Gentry sent me a box of these things. Okay, look at the promo code down there. That's an astounding price. Now, what is this? What is the value of this thing? Why does this stand out? Why am I even bothering with this in the month of ration or ruin. What the folks at the Central Provisions have done, I'm sorry my light I had turned it on way too strong. I wanted to make sure that we were looking good on the packaging but now it just looks like I'm like dripped from heaven. I turned it down a little bit. So, Central Provisions does meals ready to

eat in a way that no one does meals ready to eat. Whether that's for camping, whether that's for hunting, whether that's for prepping, whether that's for guys who are starving to death like myself. It's weird because we're not starving to death. you know what I mean I'm certainly not anywhere near starving to death, but I'm at a caloric deficit most days of the week and It's having an effect. You know what I mean? It's definitely having an effect We're gonna talk about that on the rational ruin report later. Probably tonight maybe later. Not sure Jay Ferg in the chat What is up?

night maybe later not sure. Jay Ferg in the chat what is up? Yeah now I'm coming straight coming to you straight from heaven I'm not sure. I turned the light up so I could show off the product real good and then I realized you know what we ought to do instead of that instead of that why don't we bring the website up because that'll be easier anyway. Because we got a great product here, like I said, and it's taken me far too long to tell you what it is that they do and what it is that they do better than everybody else. And the best way for me to do it is to read you the ingredients list. I'll show you the ingredients list too. But they've got, you know, this might not be grass-fed bison. I might have been lying.

But it says bison, you know, this might not be grass-fed bison. I might have been lying. But it says bison, filtered water. All of everything else, I'm going to tell you, except for the beef bone broth and the pink Himalayan sea salt, has the word organic in front of it. Do with that what you will. Tomato paste, carrots, potatoes, beef collagen. Oh no, that doesn't. Hydrolyzed beef collagen. Onions, tomatoes, and tomato puree, celery, extra virgin olive oil, potato starch, maple syrup. Maple syrup is interesting. Garlic, I'm sorry, my mouth is

watering like crazy right now, salivating. You know what I mean? What do I want here? I want to share the screen. There we go. Smoke paprika, rosemary, onion powder. Okay, good enough. Delicious spices and herbs, delicious bison, delicious deliciousness. It's spitting all over the place. I'm hungry. Oh my goodness, so this is the the bison stew and Yeah, we're gonna eat it right now with you guys It's been here since the beginning of May. There's a chili. There's a stew the whole nine yards It's been here and I've been like dying to try it. But since we've been on the ration ruin situation I haven't been able to so going in

Oh my god By the way each these bison stews have 43 grams of protein in them I worked out way too hard yesterday, I felt like I was at the gym lifting heavy weights. I don't even remember what I had for breakfast if I ate breakfast. What was yesterday? Thursday. Yeah. So on almost nothing. And this morning, it feels like it. This morning, it's really ... I hadn't gone to the gym and lifted heavy all month for fear of like what exactly I'm it's really right. I hadn't gone to the gym and lifted heavy all month for fear of like What exactly I'm dealing with today or worse, you know it's not like I'm gonna run to the gym and work out on the weekend, although I did do actually the day one I did a

Pretty a pretty brutal workout with my wife and I paid for it man. I paid for it for sure. So the The sauce is So the sauce is phenomenal. The sauce is all tomato-based. It's dominated by... it is a little paprika dominated, but it's good. The vegetables are perfect. Carrots, potatoes, cooked perfect. Seasoned well. I can definitely get the Himalayan salt. The beef, the bison is completely... Well, what is it? I didn't get another bite in there if you make beef stew and the pieces don't come completely apart into like Mush you know what I mean like each. I can't really show you because it's everything's kind of covered in this delicious stew And I'm sorry for eating on the air. Like that's what this is all about.

That was a bison. My body is like attacking this stuff like you wouldn't believe because what was on the menu for today was vegetarian taco Today was vegetarian taco pasta. That was my MRE for today for Ration A Ruin. What I was supposed to eat today, and the guys at Ration A Ruin are going to see this and be like, you cheatin' ass. What I was supposed to eat was my MRE of vegan taco pasta. Or vegetarian, I'm sorry, vegetarian taco pasta, which is one of those things that has the strange veggie crumbles in it and you have no clue how they take veggie and turn

them into a crumble, right? But people tell you like, it's good to eat vegetarian. And then they and then you see something like a vegetarian crumble and you're like, what do you got to do to a soybean to turn it into a crumble? Right? These are the people that yell at me about eating like a two cheeseburger meal from McDonald's. You shouldn't be eating that crap. Okay, well show me how, I mean, I have to imagine that the process from chicken to chicken nugget is a pretty damn similar of the process of soybean to vegetarian taco crumble, right? Like we're in the same kitchen. We're doing the same things. So apparently they've got the bison chili as well, essential provisions, and that's supposed to be a spicy one. I'm gonna eat and we'll look at their goodies

Which one was I on where I was nice and small? There we go So this way all you have to do is endure the feasting See and they have they do have actual vegetarian options like lentil stew Which I'm sure is delicious this thing is unbelievable now The kicker is of course that these cost a lot more than your MRE. These are not the kind of food unless you've got big pockets to store long term for your whole entire family right? So here goes the bison chili 15.95 for one. It's expensive, but it's ready to eat. Sorry.

That was a mouthful of delicious. That was a mouthful of delicious. The chili is 60 grams of protein. 60 grams? Holy moly! That's like as much as the literal whey protein I've been using all month. 60 grams I think for two scoops. That's a lot. That's a lot. The bison chili. Tremendous. They say it's nice and spicy. I was gonna eat that today instead. I probably prefer that But I couldn't do it without my kid My kid would have been mad at me He likes spicy stuff and he likes to try all this survival food with me

I actually was down in mre for this ration of ruin challenge, which is why i'm not feeling too bad about this I was down in mre because when I came home from meeting at Dave Jones house Gathering all the survival food. He's like I want to try an MRE now What are you gonna say to that you know what I mean? so When you this is why? These guys are top tier You can look at what they're working with right 100% grass-fed finished beef bone broth

filtered water Am I missing the main ingredient here 100% grass-fed finished bison So this is not mountain house. You know what I mean? This is this is definitely not Ready hour right this is not XMRE food. This is food that is for performance. I mean, when I look at these guys, when I eat something like this, I think about performance. I think about what I wanna eat after a workout, what I wanna eat on a day like today

when I'm recovering from a workout. This was packed up, this package right here was literally packed up in my In my workout bag yesterday because I was gonna make this thing happen I Was planning on making this happen? Where's my screen out with the with the little mini? Gone there we go Yeah, I was gonna make this happen with the after the workout. I

Was thinking let's do it after the workout and that kind of thing. So the company again Essential Provisions. If you use the promo code down below then you can get 20% off these guys. The lentils.

There is one that stands out. I'll see if you can figure it out. You know funny enough I love mint, but I'm not a big fan of mint in things.

I would go with the Assaulted Almond Vanilla. That sounds amazing. These guys are really cool. I don't know if I have these. We'll eat all this stuff together if you want. I don't care. Nutrient dense condensed Condensed. Best for military ration, sports nutrition, disaster relief, emergency preparedness.

These things are packed. I mean, they're absolutely packed with incredible ingredients for your body. What's exciting is this is kind of like the nexus of prep or fit in health for me.

You know what I mean? It's like the nexus of prep or fit in health. It's like where it all meets because again, I wouldn't store years where I couldn't imagine I'd have to take a loan out to store years worth of field fuel. But after going through ration of ruin, if I were able to put some of these on the shelf, cause like I was telling everybody in the first ration of ruin report, protein is going to be your biggest challenge. Once you start working through emergency food in a disaster, you're gonna be like, oh, what I really need is more protein. If you're not growing it outside, if you don't

have chickens clucking around outside quail, I moved the quail, by the way. I moved the quail to a stationary location and I can't tell you how happier I am now that the quail are in a stationary location. I was physically moving the quail every day, man, and it was kind of a nightmare. What's up, Rogue Crew? Jeremy? Chris? Chris, your last name? Kretzel Kirtzel Chris Kirtzels last name Kirtzel K-U-E-R-Z-E-L reminds me of some kind of thing that you would eat at Christmas time that would be filled with raspberry puree and tastes like heaven that's right no idea how things like that pop into my head but that's what I get from Chris Kirtzel uh eccentric I don't know you when you guys get too cute with the Instagram names I gotta go away into my head, but that's what I get from Chris Kurtzel.
