I am a monthly Thrive customer, and I'm very impressed with the products I've used so far. The eggs, as you said in another video, are really delicious! And I *love* the corn! :)

[beast12101]

@MyFreedomChannel glad you like it, its the best Iv found so far

[topher8096]

Thank you very much !

Thrive Dry Milk is great, better than the instant milk. I drink their dry powder milk every day. Was shocked at how good it was.

[basterisk]

"taco bean soup" lolwut?

[flamedrag18]

just wondering, could you do the calculations on how much food each of the egg and milk cans would replace, like in the gallons for milk, how many eggs? just a curious idea since you should be able to know how many eggs you eat per month, to six months and beyond, at least on average.

[beast12101]

@flamedrag18 I'll have more videos coming down the road, check their website its all there. the milk makes 5 gallon, the eggs was 236 servings/eggs

[karenchakey]

Great information!, I am going to check this company out! Thanks for sharing

[CampfireTalk]

I haven't heard of "thrive". I'm currently looking into different options on long term food storage so thanks for getting the word out on another option.

[DemonHide]

Well, you make a great case for this product. And I was thinking about the food savings also. <$100 a month on food is impressive. $50 a week isn't rare when purchasing ordinary groceries, especially with increased prices.

[lolhelios]

I've always wanted to try those!

[AppalachianFreedom]

Great topic sir!

[godsend420]

strawberrys will be extra yummy in a shtf scenario think of the trading possibility

[Killahofosho]

i noticed the potato can had a dent in it, did it arrive like that or did you drop it?

[beast12101]

@Killahofosho its not dented, its the label

[Waldhandwerk]

Hi beast, great overview, thanks for showing, explanation and your time. Happy Day  Sepp

[mcvideo8686]

dude who gives sheet about tvp in a shtf ...just be happy your eating at this point

[beast12101]

@mcvideo8686 because I use my food storage everyday

[1975DLR]

My sister in law is a rep for Thrive and she has parties in the Seattle area so if you are interested I can give you her contact info in an email. The parties are a good place to try their products before you buy and you can order just what you want instead of a preselected set.

Great Vid. I just tried Wise Food and thought it was below par (yuck), over seasoned and the thing that really turned me off is that, although it is packed in nitrogen and claimed to last 25 years it only comes in 4 person serving size bags. They will send you a sample. And I highly suggest tasting this before you order!!! I agree that after 40 years of camping Mountain House set the standard I use to judge all other foods. I dont love them all but I like them alot!

[1930sgirl]

Our family recently tried a number of Thrive products. Our favorites were the Freeze Dried peaches, pineapple, broccoli, celery and dehydrated carrots. The raspberries were very tart, but they would be good for making sauces or cooking with. Thrive is the best quality and best tasting dried foods we have tried so far. Thanks for the video...hope you do a follow up after you try the food.:)

[oregonnich]

mountain house # 10 cans have been sold out for the past month or two. . . They may not have any available for at least a few more months, best luck is to search else where online. However, they are expensive. . . so you have to know what you're really wanting to do. I rotate through foods I eat and use (Mountain house freeze dried) for backpacking and sometimes hiking or whatever. . . much easier for me at least.

[SuperSpermbank]

So is this a monthly cost or a lump some, ps great thing about that stuff is that u can add it to a pre made meal

[vention4wh]

I'm a big fan of having stored food as well as precious metals. They say you can't eat gold but also you can't put your food pantry in you backpack if you need to relocate suddenly. Both of them have their uses.

[ElCoyotefromTexas]

good vid.....hope to hear what happens

[LivingHistorySchool]

I saw people pushing thrive at the boat and sportman's show in Eugene, you can have thrive parties... kind of like Amway

[beast12101]

@LivingHistorySchool i may look into that

[CyberCacique1]

Interesting product. I agree that food makes more sense than having a gold bar to eat if SHTF... :)

Look forward to your impressions on the product.

[markshmily]

Interesting.

If you don't like some powdered milk I make my own hot chocolate mix instead of using the store bought stuff. I carry if in a 16oz Nalgene bottle.

Thanks for sharing, I look forward to the update.

[morgandewolfe]

I'm just getting into prepping  so your vids are a huge help. Keep posting these food vids please. :) Thanks for the hard work and for sharing it.

Be prepared and be well.

[Tancrad]

Beast, about that milk, what % is it, or is it skim? i know they have a great protein content. and im big on that.

also big on TVP, always mix it with my rice on the trail. doubles my protein content for my evening meal.

[MrPVaSoldier]

hey 2/4/11 Was my bday!!

[IronRangeSurvival]

I just use the LDS center. 700 bucks for a pick-up load of 30+ is too good a deal. I was worried about the Mormans pushing religion on me, but they didn't at all.

[m005kennedy]

Please post when you try the Milk product. I saw a video that said that "it taste like whole milk:. I can't believe that to be true as any powder milk product, while find for baking, just never has pasted the taste test.

[beast12101]

@m005kennedy I was blown away by the milk, the video is uploading right now

[18wheeler76]

talk to the hand,lol,good viid

[jblakeman75]

you have to do alot of review on this one i will have to check its out!!!!!

thanks for all you do

Froggy

[Jimmytulips]

great video

[LegendSexy]

Im going to try this. Ive never had this brand. Good vid!

[FixedByDoc]

i just dehydrate my own. i can do a lot real quick and for less money. and mine taste great like normal nondehydrate.

[szybkilopez566]

@FixedByDoc Cool. The trouble is that it is almost impossible to vacuum freeze dry at home, and "regular" drying isn't the same thing.

[FixedByDoc]

@szybkilopez566 yeah i hear it costs nearly $2000 for a cheap freeze dryer. wish i had one though. once you get one the rest is easy as long as you have electricity.

[superjet2771]

hey beast,

I always buy the 2 entrée mountain house meals...

How long will a large can stay fresh after you open?

[beast12101]

@superjet2771 opened they still last 18 months

[bushwp11]

Can you hydrate some of the foods with stock vs. water to enhance the flavor.

[CopingWithTheTimes]

I really like the Thrive line. 84 #10 cans ("1 year supply for 1 person") for under $1000 at Costco. Really great deal for the price.

[okieprepper]

Absolutely! Food over gold and silver!

[mattamiller]

"Textured Protein" should read "Just better than dog food". Have you tried the LDS cannery food storage? I used to make elaborate forts/castles out of my moms LDS food storage. Most of the stuff has a really good shelf life, but then again your options aren't that exotic. If you do try the LDS cannery I HIGHLY recommend the potato pearls. They have a shorter shelf-life span than the flakes, but the taste is amazing! I rarely eat regular mashed potatoes thanks to them.

[bcafotw]

Will chk it out , thank you,...JC

[hinckleypoland]

you will def have to keep us posted on this. I am always looking for new long term storage products and this stuff looks promising.

[ninja5672]

"oldest comes out last" its called LIFO. Last In First Out. :)

[beast12101]

@ninja5672 you're referring to FIFO first in ,first out

[ninja5672]

@beast12101 No, I know what I'm talking about. FIFO and LIFO are two different terms used in accounting. And yes LIFO is like milk (oldest used first).

[beast12101]

@ninja5672 "last in " would be the newest thing, it doesnt make sense. the "first in" is the oldest. FIFO is taught by washingting state health dept for teaching rotation

[apprenticesurvivor]

@ninja5672 haha think about that which do you use first? milk that expires tomorrow or milk that expires in a month?

[YokoWenis]

I'm waiting for Costco to put their Thrive on sale. It's usually about $200 off around Feb-Mar time, so keep an eye out for that sale.

[beast12101]

@YokoWenis will do

[ninja5672]

first?

[szybkilopez566]

@ninja5672 Damn, ninja5672. This is sooo passé and such a "social no-no!" that I admire you had balls to make such a fool of yourself (to put it VERY mildly)

Writing "first?" is a form of exhibitionism, it's like walking around with a big sign, which reads: "I score low in a WAIS test". Seriously, seriously uncool.
