New chow for my bugout kit

[Forever_frost]

I've been reading up on an Indian tribe that run 50 to 100 miles a day routinely and the only thing they take on these trips is a small pouch with something called Pinole. It is supposed to expand in your stomach and make you feel full with very little being needed and provide complex carbs to keep you moving all day.

Tonight, I dug out the supplies to make it and I'm fairly impressed. It takes like pumpkin pie crust. Basically take 1/2 cup of corn meal and toast it in a skillet. When it's toasted a nice brown, add a tsp of cinnamon, 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of honey with enough hot water to make it a sticky batter. I poured it into a pan and stuck it in the oven for 15 minutes and I'm fairly impressed. It's a bit gritty, but the small bit I tried is very filling. Every site I read says you have to be careful with it because it'd be very easy to overeat on what seems like a small quantity. Pictures to follow soon.

Has anyone else ever tried it?

can you run 50-100 miles a day now?

[Forever_frost]

NO but I do bike between 10 and 25 miles a day. I'm figuring if it'll fill me up after 1 spoonfull, it can be used as a meal replacement

what happens if you over eat it?

what happens if you over eat it?

Same thing as eating a package of PopRocks and chasing them down with soda...

interesting but it sounds like a fancier recipe as to hardtack biscuits. hardtack will swell you up eating it dry and acting like a sponge in your stomach

I love hardtack. I make them every so often so I have something to munch on throughout the day.

You'd do better with pemmican as a survival food. You need better nutrition in a buyout situation, and a big art of that need is vitamins and fat. If the focus is fill up fast, I suppose the hardtack method could work. If the focus is, meter your food or die, you should eat your self-proscribed rations, and ignore the hunger pangs. Your stomach will shrink up quick enough.

Just in case I'm not the only one who wanted to see a damned picture of the crap.
