'Survivor' All-Star Cirie Fields Tries 12 Freeze-Dried Emergency Foods | Wirecutter | Taste Test

Calling all hikers, astronauts, and preppers! Can freeze-dried emergency food kits compare to their homemade counterparts or are they just a mushy mess? We tried 12 different survival food kits from 4 outdoor meal brands – covering breakfast, dinner, and dessert – to see which ones are actually enjoyable for the moments that count. Cirie Fields, the legendary six-time ‘Survivor’ contestant, joins Wirecutter’s Katie Quinn and Jen Gushue to see how well these meal kits hold up. As always, Wirecutter reviews are never sponsored, so watch along for an unfiltered look at which meals are worth stocking in your bunker. 00:00 - Intro 00:30 - Meet our tasters: Katie Quinn, Cirie Fields, and Jen Gushue 01:03 - Round One: Breakfast 06:44 - Round Two: Dinner 10:15 - Round Three: Dessert 12:38 - Championship Round: Final Three Check out our emergency food kit guide here: https://wrctr.co/3RbRcdP You can find Jen Gushue’s Wirecutter reviews here: https://wrctr.co/4tLyZkK Keep up with Cirie Fields here: https://wrctr.co/4uWqt3n Here are all of the emergency meals we tasted: Mountain House Biscuits and Gravy: https://wrctr.co/49XWwI3 Backpacker’s Pantry Summit Breakfast Scramble: https://wrctr.co/4tGwPTm Peak ReFuel Biscuits & Sausage Gravy: https://wrctr.co/3PnZsqz Readywise Pro Breakfast Skillet: https://wrctr.co/3RfDZRc Peak Refuel Beef Stroganoff: https://wrctr.co/3R8cfOr Mountain House Chicken Fried Rice: https://wrctr.co/4demV6E Backpacker’s Pantry Pad Thai with Chicken: https://wrctr.co/4eTRmQW Readywise Pro Pork Chile Verde with Beans: https://wrctr.co/4tO5U8l Peak Refuel Mountain Berry Cobbler: https://wrctr.co/49bPak2 Mountain House Ice Cream Sandwich: https://wrctr.co/49ICotp Backpacker’s Pantry Crème Brûlée: https://wrctr.co/497D8bi Readywise Pro Strawberry Granola Crunch: https://wrctr.co/4tFOwSY We personally test and review products to help you shop smartly.
