Atomic Shrimp

OK, firstly, this video is LONG! Skip Timecodes are provided for the main meals; more detailed timecodes are further below.

Nextly, there's a fair bit of flex and cheating in this video - that is, I brought along drinkable water, cooking utensils and a little bit of oil for frying.

Finally, not everything in the ration pack got tested in this video, and in each meal, I modified each meal by supplementing foraged ingredients. The remaining canned items I will open in a future video.

I'm exploring this ration pack in collaboration with Alana from A Kayfabe - here are links to Alana's videos (check them out as her pack was different to mine, despite being the same menu number):

Goodness, I thought for a moment that you were going to forage the cows.

You can trust a man who knows his mushrooms.

Man I would love just a series on foraging.

0:24 "Don't complain just skip" That needs to go on a t-shirt.

For some reason, when I don't see Atomic Shrimps face, I imagine it's a retired Alan Grant from Jurassic Park running around in the forest making food videos.

Gonna be honest, I dont really know how I got on your Chanel in the first place but I can't seem to be able to stop watching your videos again and again... Please keep up the good work 🙏 ! Thanks à lot

Skip? NEVER. This is the content I’m here for. :D

Edit: “Keeping yourself happy while doing [these] little things is an important part of staying alive.” One of my favorite things I’ve heard you say and probably the reason I love watching these videos so much. The fact you share what you love is very easy to see and equally enjoyable to us.

Loved this video. “Excuse me ladies” to the cows made me chuckle. Fantastic start to a Saturday morning, thank you Mr. Shrimp.

@Rawr98 6 years ago

Oh wow I thought maybe 30 minutes had gone by but I’ve just spent an entire hour in the forest with atomic shrimp haha

I like cooking chestnuts in mashed potatoes.

They break down into the same consistency as potatoes when mashed. Plus, the taste of chestnut flavored mashed potatoes is really good.

When he said about obvious food source I though he was on about the cows 😂

Whenever I'm watching an Atomic Shrimp vid, it's an adventure

This reminds me of when I was a kid. My dad got a job in Poland with Elf petroleum. We'd always go mushroom picking with one of his workmates Kristoff. We'd see steam-trains go past the forest every so often, and put our 1 zloty coin on the track, so the train would flatten them 😄

@DubiousEngineering 6 years ago

You sure have an abudance of shrooms around you... very impressive! ... Very happy you didn't pick them all as tempting as it is!! You are indeed clearly a responsible forager!! :-)
