Arrived very quick as promised and awsome varity

My family had to deal with Katrina, weeks with no power or running water. Sticking just the non-perishable food that was still around. Then Hurricane Gustav. And when we figured we were sort of in the clear, the 2016 floods came. Some called it a "500 year flood." Others called it the "1 in 1000 odd flood." But whatever you call it, again we were stuck with just what we had on hand. As with most natural disasters that batter the Gulf South, you always face the reality of closed stores, or at least no means of actually getting to them. That's why Prep Basics is a game changer.There's a good variety of entrees in here. How many people it can feed, for how many days, honestly I can only say that's based on the consumption level of you or your family members. But an emergency food pail like this is exactly what we need in the store room where we keep our hurricane supplies. Take it from someone who has been through more than a few hurricanes and floods in his life: be prepared. You can't put a price on the peace of mind that comes with knowing you've got an emergency supply of food tucked away.Now, if I had any iffy feelings about this particular emergency kit, it would honestly be the price. I like this emergency food pail. Yet some of the products are sort of similar to Augason Farms food pails. And I'd by lying if I said that those seem to offer a bit more in the way of sustenance, for the same cost. So I'd recommend this particular brand of emergency food, but I'd also say, do your homework on different options as well.

It's good for my family

I hate to think some day we might need this back up Emergency Food supply but its peace of mind knowing I have if if needed. Get a few so you have enough for a month or more.

I bought this for camping, DONTThe servings are NOT packaged individually, most meals are 5-8 servings per package. Cooking the meals requires a full kitchenThis is NOT good for camping or emergencies. Just good to stock your pantry

Mine was missing a meal even though the container was sealed.

In an emergency this is great to have. I got this to review and it's sealed, TIGHT, very hard to get the lid off. Once you do the pouches inside are sealed as well. They have a crazy long shelf life of 25 years from date of manufacture and they don't taste horrible, while I didn't try them all I did open 2 of them up and made em up. Not the best food you'll eat, but it's very similar to backpacker dehydrated food if you have ever eaten that. Add water where needed, cook if needed and try to enjoy.In an emergency this is a great option. I would recommend it.

With the extreme weather we are seeing due to global warming, I decided I really needed to have some sort of emergency kit that included food in it. Unfortunately, this typically means constantly rotating food due to short expiration dates. When I saw that this kit would last for 25 years, I was sold!The kit contains enough food to make 60 high calorie, high protein meals. For my family of three, that would make 20 meals which should be enough to get us through any disaster since we don't live anywhere remote. The flavors of the meals are decent and there is a nice assortment.So, why the three stars? I had planned to open it and make a few of the meals to give a review on the flavor, but I can't get the lid off. I pulled off the zip part, but can't get the actual lid to budge. I have tried prying it to no avail and am afraid to do more for fear I will damage the seal. The 25 year expiration is only good when sealed in the container. So, at this point, the only way I see to try these out is to destroy the container. In an emergency, I also have concern that I wouldn't be able to open it at all.
