I can’t believe Bob forgot to sleep out in the middle of the woods to simulate real D&D rations as you’d only use your rations on the road.

@jokerlord9884 3 years ago

Can't believe he actively went and worked in a salt mine to season his food. Mad lad. Legend.

Man, loved it when bob went 3 days without food,and then remembered he had to eat,just like a real DND adventurer

@foxman8882 3 years ago

Hard Tack was commonly put in a pot of water with the dry meat to make chowders. It’s just a more travel friendly form of flour

@fr4203 3 years ago

That part where he killed a bear with a longsword to make his own jerky really shows how much care he put in making this as accurate to D&D as possible.

@masterboof9719 3 years ago

I can’t believe he only ate berries hand picked by Matthew Mercer. Such commitment to authenticity

@samuelcoltsghost7025 3 years ago

Can't believe he went full pirate and opted NOT to eat oranges to get scurvy. Truly a man of focus, commitment, and sheer will.

@Szabla1595 3 years ago

Oatmeal was also carried as a traveling ration by Scottish Highlanders. It's carbohydrate dense, easy to prepare, and versatile to cook with.

@fakjbf3129 3 years ago

Preparing the hardtack a year ahead of time and letting it get infested with bugs for extra protein was genius!

@A.Huddy.2273 3 years ago

Impressed that when he failed his foraging check he started eating unidentifiable tree leaves and bark. Truly accurate to what would happen at the table!

@KitKatHexe 3 years ago

The way he sun baked the hardtack using his glasses as a magnifying lens was an amazing feat of subsistence!

@TexNG0451 3 years ago

Something to note is that historical hardtack/ship's biscuit would have been baked 2 to 4 times to remove even more water, which really would be like trying to eat a brick when dry.

@AndreasChrisWilhelmer 3 years ago

I think where you went wrong was mixing those dried mushrooms with your dried fruits and nuts. Remember that mushrooms do not qualify as plants. Those side effects are to be expected.

@ShadowHawk-ye2bt 3 years ago

The part where you fought off a gang of bandits with just a single square of hardtack was intense yet informative. I am now prepared for the marvelous world of adventuring!

@counterburn1216 3 years ago

It was really cool that you went into your local sewer to fight off rats to see if you could actually adventure on this diet. Really informative and I hope you got that finger back.

@marcelo9752 3 years ago

You made me realize how delighfull it would be for a starving party to find food out of a good check of a ranger/barbarian, and how it would be better than finding a millionaire treasure sometimes. I came after a funny video and ended up gaining a level of dungeon master!! Thank you.

@GeorgeBobeck 3 years ago

You can crush the hardtack and use it as a thickener in a soup or stew. The soup or stew could be made using the jerky.

@TheArcher-ElArquero 3 years ago

I really admire that he kept the challenge going, even as the doctors and nurses at the hospital were begging him to stop. Such commitment.

@k8giggles 3 years ago

I’m glad you tried to make this a bit more inclusive. Not everyone has the patience to genetically modify their own whey protein, so letting us know store-bought is fine was a relief for me!
