Prepper Pack Bucket - 52 Servings Emergency Food Supply, Survival Kit, Protein Meals, Dehydrated & Freeze Dried Food, Ready to Eat Camping Essentials, up to 25 Year Shelf Stable Life

I purchased this item for one purpose only. To sustain life during a survival situation regardless of what that situation might be. I purchased this item with that goal in mind. With that said, I'll note a few thoughts on this product. In deciding products to purchase, I ordered samples from various companies. Although I do not plan to open this bucket until needed in an emergency, I did try out Wise Foods sample entrees. I can say that they were packed well in bags with oxygen absorbers in each bag. When preparing the meals, I took heed of some other reviews about water amounts and started with a little less that half the water called for. With the stroganoff, this produced an extremely thick sauce and crunchy noodles. After adding about 1/4 cup over half what is called for, the sauce thinned a bit to a nice creamy texture and the noodles became soft. The flavor was better than tolerable but not great simply because I don't care for super salty foods. The serving size is a bit small but I felt fulfilled despite that. Contrary to some other reviews I have seen, I did not feel excessively thirsty afterward. This is not something I would ever take camping nor would I ever use this food as a quick meal at home. What I did discover, however, was that this food is more than acceptable to survive on when there is nothing else. That is what this food was meant for and that is what I am using it for. For that reason, I am comfortable giving this product 5 stars. I would very much rather eat this than eating a stray cat, insects, or raw rat meat. One final note. Many reviews mention the excessive salt. I have found that every long term food storage product I have looked at had just about the same salt content per serving. Wise foods seem to have a little less than some other brands but it's still up pretty high. I, for one, won't be complaining about that when I'm starving to death.

For long term survival food it’s really tasty and doesn’t have a crazy amount of sodium. I like it because it’s not over seasoned or bland. I’m very picky about long term food so I was skeptical. I’m a believer now. Very pleased 👍

I recently purchased the ReadyWise Freeze-Dried Meal Bucket and have been thoroughly impressed with the variety and convenience it offers. As someone who faces challenges with food preparation due to executive dysfunction, this bucket has been a game-changer for ensuring I have nourishing meals without the stress of cooking. The selection of meals included in the bucket is impressive and covers a wide range of flavors and options. From the savory Southwest Beans and Rice to the comforting Tomato and Basil Soup, each meal has provided a delicious and satisfying experience. I appreciate the thoughtfulness of including both breakfast and main meal choices, making it versatile for any time of day. One standout feature is the ease of preparation. Rehydrating the meals has been a breeze, requiring only water and a short waiting time. This convenience has been a lifesaver for most, if not all of my meals. I don't have a food preparation service near my home, so this was the next best thing. In addition, it has helped me portion control and help with my IBS, because it replaced my diet of frozen pizzas and various other "fast" junk food. Overall, I have no problem with the purchase. The only meal I don't prefer is the Tomato and Basil. I complemented this bucket with a bucket of fruit to help balance the nutrient value. The freeze-dried fruit blends have been a delightful addition to my meals. The burst of natural flavors and the nutritional benefits they provide have made each meal more enjoyable and well-rounded. While convenience is paramount for me, I've also been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meals. The textures and flavors have exceeded my expectations for freeze-dried food, and I haven't encountered any unpleasant aftertastes or artificial flavors. The ReadyWise Freeze-Dried Meal Bucket has become an essential part of my meal planning, whether for quick on-the-go options or for emergencies. The peace of mind it provides is invaluable, knowing that I have a variety of wholesome meals at my fingertips. In summary, I highly recommend the ReadyWise Freeze-Dried Meal Bucket to anyone seeking a convenient, flavorful, and balanced meal solution. It's a fantastic way to ensure you're well-prepared for various situations, and it's a game-changer for individuals like me who face challenges with food preparation. Disclaimer: As a reviewer, my experience is specific to my personal needs and preferences. However, I believe the quality and convenience of this product would be valuable for anyone looking for hassle-free meal options.

Convenient product! Stacking these up for emergencies! From my research, some of the best out there.

DAUGHTER RECENTLY MOVED TO FAR NORTHERN ALASKA TO TAKE A JOB AS A NURSE. FOOD IS REALLY HARD TO COME BY UP THERE PLUS ITS VERY EXPENSIVE. I SHIPPED HER ONE OF THESE BECAUSE POUND-FOR-DOLLAR IT IS A VERY GOOD VALUE, FULL OF HEALTHY FOOD TO SUPPLEMENT WHAT SHE BUYS AT THE LOCAL STORE IN TOWN. NICE BUCKET WHICH WILL COME IN HANDY WHEN EMPTY. THE ADDED VALUE IS THAT AMAZON "PAYS THE FREIGHT" TO GET IT TO HER. I PLAN ON MAKING IT A ONCE PER MONTH PURCHASE OF ONE OF THESE ON A ROTATING BASIS TO KEEP HER SUPPLEMENTED.

If you are purchasing this READYWISE - Prepper Pack Bucket, 52 Servings, be aware that it only has 1 of each, so it has: 1 cheesy macaroni serving 1 creamy pasta and veg serving 1 southwest rice and beans serving 1 Pasta alfredo serving 1 Apple cinnamon serving 1 Brown sugar Mpl cereal Serving. 1 Orange drink mix. Thats all. How ever they promote it saying its 6 servings and this can be extremely confusing for someone who expected example: 6 bags of cheesy Macaroni like I did. Nope It's just 1 bag, which says it has 6 serving, and from experience, that supposed 6 serving amounts to 1 or 2 meals if you decide to half the portions for some reason. It's actually just 1 meal in my book. Me personally I bought this thinking it was like the 30 day version of the cheesy macaroni as I only want macaroni but im not seeing a macaroni only version in large portions so I got this. I thought it was 6 bags of each, not 1 bag claiming to be 6 servings. So im rather frustration that I spent money on this.

Well packaged, very quick delivery
