Trail Oatmeal

[onebigkahuna69]

no offense but something tells me that would give me the runs.lol I wonder if you could add crushed walnuts or almonds to it or just have them as a snack after?

[wildmutt1978]

@onebigkahuna69 Lol, I would say you can add or subtract any thing you want. Sometimes I throw hot chocolate mix in as well

[onebigkahuna69]

@wildmutt1978 You could probably add anything.When i was into bodybuilding/powerlifting we used chocolate meal replacement meals and a a small cup of peanut butter and put it into a blender and it tasted like a reeses peanut butter cup and it was actually good for you and thats a bonus.lol I would suggest to anyone that tries any of these mixtures of ingrediants to try them at home first to make sure that it doesn't give you the runs.

cheaper is better , calories are the main target. the more food you can get for the least amount of money times the most calories should be the emphasis . how many meals can you get for 30 bucks . i like your prep work just keep in mind that the more natural the ingredients the better the taste .

[saberman12341]

Try raisins in that instead of peanut butter.

[wildmutt1978]

@saberman12341 I sometimes add raisins, but I really like the peanut butter for the protein and fat content, and not to mention I love the way it taste too. Thanks for the suggestion and tip.

[1234maddiekinz]

21 grams of fat seems a bit much for a cup of oatmeal!! Is it from the p. butter?? If so, Id be leaving that out,course I love plain oatmeal with a smidgeon of cinnamon.......and Im allergic to nuts, so......no p.butter for me, but thanks for the vid!

[1885dr]

where do you get your peanut butter packs at? great vid thx

[wildmutt1978]

@1885dr I get the peanut butter pack as REI. If you dont have a REI near you, Im pretty sure you can order them online. Thanks for watching

[jevaneez]

looks good! i can't find flavored peanut butter locally, let alone in those individual packets. good vid

[84SuperDom]

whats kind of cup is that?

[wildmutt1978]

@84SuperDom Its the Vargo Titanium 750 ml mug with lid. Great cup, a little pricey but in my opinion well worth it! Thanks for watching

[84SuperDom]

@wildmutt1978 hmm ive been looking for a good cup with a lid. This just might be the ticket. Thanks for responding!

[wildmutt1978]

@84SuperDom It works for me and its a little bigger then most that the Guyot Design bottles nests in. Good luck, let me know if you get it and like it.

@wildmutt1978 hmm ive been looking for a good cup with a lid. This just might be the ticket. Thanks for responding!

[newtubetubetube]

Hardcore oatmeal. The peanut butter don't look so good though. Have you try with plain grind peanut or nuts?

[wildmutt1978]

@newtubetubetube I have tried it with slice almonds. I like it both ways, I just really like peanut butter. Thanks for the suggestion and taking the time to comment.

[ohm1163058]

Death by oatmeal, I love it, that will keep you going for a good long time.

[wildmutt1978]

@ohm1163058 Nice. Lol!

[jauntin]

I've read that having a very sweet breakfast just before heading the trail can make your body react against that excess of sugar delivering insulin. And if at the same time you start 'working', there are 2 factors of sugar demand: insulin and work. It's a good advice to have breakfast quite before you start to walk, or have a light one first and then a second breakfast on the trail (like all good hobbit should)!

[wildmutt1978]

@jauntin Excellent points!

[tdimaggio]

Great recipe...posted a video response

[LoveRise]

Excellent Video, I'm going to go make some now! Where can you buy those peanut butter packages? Celebrate Life! Laurie

[wildmutt1978]

@LoveRise Hello and thanks for watching. I get the Peanut butter packets from REI. They have a bunch of different flavors and they are all excellent.

[LoveRise]

Awesome, I didn't realize they sold that, I will check that out. Thank you. I look forward to your next insightful video! Warmly, Laurie

[freetrailchef]

man luv the fact you included portage weights and nutritional values, keep it up, eh! Mountaineers need food options that address ease of preparation, taste, portage and nutrition. there's more food options out there, thanks for conveying that fact.

[wildmutt1978]

@freetrailchef

Thanks for commenting and watching. Glad you liked the video.

[ajelliottjr]

Yum Yum Nice recipe gotta try it, Thanks Andy

[wildmutt1978]

@Bustertb

Thanks for watching. The gloves are ok, but they aren't water proof. Ive never used an alcohol stove, but Ive been thinking about checking them out. The marks on the canister are how many meals I've got out of the canister. I think I got like 27 or 28 meals from that canister. Thanks again for all your comments and views.

[nebulon9]

Wow i had never tried peanut butter in my oatmeal and now I am addicted! So frekin good! Just gotta try the apples now.

[wildmutt1978]

@nebulon9

Thanks for watching and commenting. The peanut butter is pretty good. To change it up I use different dehydrate fruits when I'm out, and at home I use all fresh fruits. It adds to the flavor.  If you have a sweet tooth try putting some chocolate chips in it....Thanks again for the comment.

[mem7048]

I make my own peanut butter packets using small ziplock sandwich bags, my own peanut butter(crunchy) and add some honey. This way I can make bigger packets if I want, and it goes great both mixed into, and spread on bannock.

[wildmutt1978]

@mem7048

Hello and thanks for all the great suggestions.

[TheBeebopper]

Seems like you were suffering in the cold until you had a couple of spoons of oatmeal. I think this goes to show that a hot drink is more essential and quicker, best had before attention is paid to food, even when it is ready prepared.

[wildmutt1978]

@TheBeebopper

Hello, and thanks for watching. I had a terrible cold that day, thanks to my son. He usually gives me a cold once a year. As far as a warm drink, I already had a cup of hot chocolate that morning. Thanks for the suggestion.

[BushcraftOnFire]

Fine job Brian!

Terrific video quality and good information! Look forward to seeing you at camp Bro.. Bring some of that Oatmeal with you.. looks scrumptious!

[spr00sem00se]

hey what are the five bar gate tallies for on the gas canister?

just a way of measuring the times used?

[wildmutt1978]

@spr00sem00se

Whenever I use the gas canister I put a tally mark on the side. I actually got 26 meals out of that canister.

[missouribushcraft]

Brian 5 stars, I will be posting my first video in spring and I hope to do as well as you. I am going to use this "Brian's Trail oatmeal" the next time I take my son camping with me, for some reason he doesn't care for my "pot luck" soup. and I will admit, this looks much better.

[wildmutt1978]

@missouribushcraft

Thanks for the comment. When I bring my son with me I toss some chocolate in the oatmeal. He loves it.

[roguepathfinder]

[mchipman1]
