Transcript: hello everyone today i want to just go off for another camping food meal and today i’m going to start doing some more from this company called um nomad nutrition they kind of specialize in what them vegetarian meals as far as i know they only make vegetarian meals um they’re not one of my sponsors or anything like that so they haven’t paid me to do this um but that with that uh let’s move on and basically show you this is what blah blah packets look like and today this is the one called kathmandu curry and i kind of did a lot of research looking for somebody that kind of had some maybe you know because of all my time in asia i thought wow it would be nice to have some meals that i can just add water to to have like a little spice to them a little curry feel a little indian these guys do the great job they are out of burnaby british columbia canada and so if you look them up on the internet no mad nutrition i did that i ordered bulk from them um the owner kind of slash operator i think of their website he just did a phenomenal job so big shout out to nomad nutrition i think their meals are pretty good now this one i just heat it up

and let’s uh kind of give you an idea some of the ingredients that they use i would call them higher quality

and so they mix in some mushrooms and some lentils and some beans so you’re still getting protein you’re just getting it from a different source and then if you look at the rice it’s kind of a long grain rice

it’s very good um considering of all the other meals i’ve taste tested for all of you this one is probably one of my favorites so definitely look these guys up i do not think you can find these anywhere except online since they’re from british columbia but maybe rei or some place like that

again it kind of

looked like that you can see the curry in it and the beans and this is a really good meal

this particular one

620 calories so if we’re just sitting item it might be considered a little high but i’m actually on a small hike right now so i’m just taping this at a picnic table i found it’s got 64 grams of carbohydrates which if you’re watching carbs that’s kind of high so make sure you can burn that off but it’s got 20 grams of protein got some salt in it 360 milligrams again if you’re on a hike it’s okay

and basically the other ingredients are this is the potatoes chickpeas rice noodles coconut milk onions bell peppers carrots spinach mushrooms sun dried tomatoes olive oil garlic sea salt and there are certified they’re made with certified organic ingredients so that’s pretty good and it’s got let’s see

it’s uh let’s see gluten free dairy free soy free palm oil free and it’s non-gmo hey we’re very healthy today i should be proud of myself so you know next time you get a chance you want to look for something new something interesting look up no man nutrition look up this particular one kathmandu curry they have several different curry dishes check them out and i think you’re gonna really like it so make sure to like and share this video if you’re on youtube click that bell if you’re on facebook please share it really helps us a lot we reach a lot more people and we like to share this information all around the world because we try to make everything relevant internationally right a lot of these ideas and concepts and gear doesn’t have to be a copy exactly you can find something very similar you may be able to even make something yourself that’s very similar so until next time this is explore traveler out travel on everyone

this trail is only a few miles so it’s not terribly long but i haven’t been on this trail so and i wanted to check out the falls

i mean you have to be kind of careful i mean it’s a small canyon but definitely don’t want to fall down it see what it looks like

take you along on this journey

some cool trees i mean though this universe just smells good out here you can literally just smell the juniper in the air sage as well a little bit of cactuses it’s not a lot but there’s a few out here

there’s these little markers along the way i am not sure

what they mean yet i’m gonna assuming determine your location

what they mean yet i’m assuming they’re determine your location

i’m about a mile in now

to the falls trail now there’s not going to be a lot of water if anything this time of year

but it’s a good hike it’s the geo logic conditions of this little canyon make it a good conditioning hike for something bigger look at the rocks unbelievable very porous i can see why people like to make caves in them

a lot of unique color to them as well

all right further down we go

come on lower level

the canyon’s moving down a little bit in elevation noticing the vegetation is changing

cool little bridge

it’s beautiful out here

i have a feeling this is my creek that is not running which means

the falls trill probably does not have falls in june

but we’re gonna finish it anyway

and it’s a great adventure it’s great exercise

Today discussed some simple travel skills or ideas that helped me to be able to adapt to different situations. Life is about change and traveling is like an inoculation for change.

#travelskills #mindset #johngentry #exploretraveler

0:00 chapter 1

7:00 chapter 2

15:00 chapter 3

So I’ve come up with just five basic skills that are the kind of sound generalistic in nature but they have allowed me to broaden my mindset.

1. One of those is when I have traveled it allows me to learn from my surroundings and so what do I mean by that so let’s say I’m in a foreign country I’m learning culture I’m learning language I love to ask questions of people I try to learn their language and ask those questions in their language if possible but sometimes I do speak English to foreigners and they speak English back and I get a lot of interesting comments and I just learn more about people internationally I’ll learn about the surroundings of where I’m at even if it’s just a national park um I pay attention to nature and by learning from my surroundings I get a sense of peace and understanding that I might not have had if I just was just focusing on my little area where I live where I’m from and I never kind of got out and gone anywhere and so that’s what I mean from learning from my surroundings.

2. Another item that I have written down here is outdoor skills right so every time I learn an outdoor skill I build upon it and I learn a new skill, for example, uh people I think to take for granted the ability to just make fire it sounds so simple right I want to make fire maybe you’re going to use a match maybe you’re going to use a lighter well what if you don’t have those two things right are you going to be able to use a flint and steel are you going to be able to do experiments for you you know rub sticks together until you get enough heat or coal in order to make fire it’s it sounds so simple but you know making fire without modern-day appliances is obviously more difficult than one may think. Learn an outdoor skill and build upon that outdoor skill into learning new skills right so every time you do something you’re learning every time you learn something new it leads to something else and that’s what I mean by outdoor skills and build upon each new skill.

3. So one of the things you get from travel I think is you do get more exercise so it’s a certain amount of physical health that you get from that and physical health can be it could be muscle tone or weight loss or those kinds of things but it also gives you a general I call it, uh that’s what I’m looking for maybe virus protection health so when I travel a lot I’m around a lot more people and as the times go on I’m exposed to many different variations of colds and flu and different viruses and so now that I’m older and I’ve had all this exposure I honestly don’t get sick very often and usually if I do it’s like food poisoning right that’s another story for another day, but sometimes uh food poisoning can be very uncomfortable if you’ve had it you’d know what I’m talking about.

4. I think more important than even physical health is mental health that’s something we cannot take for granted, and sometimes mental health can be as simple as looking out over a distance and looking at the clouds moving across a beautiful mountain. Enjoying that moment and relaxing allowing your mind to just kind of recharge. Especially these days there’s just so much propaganda that’s happening in every facet of our lives it’s kind of hit an all-time high so I think mental health is way more important. Now and that includes anyone I don’t care if you’re in China or India or the United States or the Philippines you need your own mental health your own sense of well-being and so travel can help you with that and so just maybe travel out to a park or travel out to a national park in your own country or you know just think of someplace different that you want to go to or you can just get a little bit of quiet a little bit of peace of mind and so make sure to not just think about always doing something sometimes just taking a deep breath breathing in some fresh air and enjoying the quiet that’s what I mean by mental health

5. I think the fifth thing today I want to just talk about real quick is the ability to adapt to new surroundings and situations if you’re traveling hiking camping going somewhere internationally driving somewhere domestically you’re being exposed to different people different places different environments that are keeping your mind mentally sharp. That is allowing you to be able to handle new situations and every time you’re exposed to something new you’re that much stronger right you have it’s a form of information. So just kind of think of it like you’re picking up on data right if you think of it just from a data mindset everything you see everything you touch everything you hear is a form of sensory perception your mind is learning from.

Camping Food Review – Alpine Aire Mountain Chili Vegetarian – John Gentry – ExploreTraveler

Sometimes we have different tastes and prefer different brands. I’m here to publish reviews about these different meals and yes sometimes talk about low-cost options. Dehydrated meals can be stored for a long time, and are great for camping, hiking, emergency prepping, and worst-case survival situations. We ship these and others to our friends, and family in the military and to others for camping and hiking in some of the best National Park spots in the United States.

Camping Food Review – Low-cost grocery store options – John Gentry

These days costs can be an issue and it’s important to keep things in balance. I do find and use low-cost solutions from Alberson, Safeway, Trader Joe’s or you’re a store of choice. Since these products can last in the outdoors and can be used for several reasons such as long-term storage (Prepping) or for natural disaster survival. I will do more videos on this subject and try to help people prepare for camping, hiking, or for other reasons that have similar uses.

Here so one of the things I like to do. I like to get tuna and these little nice packets they have they stay up well you know they’re protected from the elements, and it’s a pretty easy low carbohydrate with high protein. Another item I like to have on hand is a little mayonnaise. With it, you can’t go wrong, and with “Best foods” little bottles can be handy. So make sure to grab one while they’re sitting on the shelf.

So if you’re driving around your car, and you’re going on a little picnic or whatever your activity might be, this is a great idea and items to have on hand. You don’t have to spend a lot of money, and another item that I like to get is these little cans of “Vienna Sausages”. There are several different flavors to choose from they’re small it’s just a nice little easy snack kind of varies the diet they’re very low in carbs as well and they’re not too bad in calories I mean it’s like just let’s see 240 calories which you know even.

If you’re walking around a lot or a little consider getting some cheese sticks. I also get a certain kind of cheese because some cheese is lower than carbohydrates than others. One of them is goulda and I get these at Albertsons. I also get some swiss cheese it’s also very low in carbs I mean these two particular kinds of cheese they’re like it’s like zero carbs and some of you may know that I go in and out of the keto diet.

That’s kind of how I try to keep my weight down also uh jack links have zero sugar um beef jerky and it’s got some carbs in it so it’s like one carb per container I mean that’s not bad and sometimes I need a snack and these are my two favorite brands this is kind of a low carb chip replacement.

Pork rinds and it is let’s see there are eight servings in the bag and so it’s like eight carbs for the whole bag so hold back that’s pretty good so that’s some examples of some of the things obviously I bring some bottled water um there are a few other items from time to time that I get and I think I’ll make another video when I get some other items so until next time please follow us at exploretraveler.com I will continue to add these videos to the camping food article and so everything will be in one place so I’ll have a nice variety of supplies for you to consider thank you travel on
