Have not tried yet, but plan on using on a hiking trip in October. The food is light weight and much more cheeper than buying individual meals that are similar.

Price is good

Great for preping

Shipping was VERY slow.

I received as promised, but put away for an emergency occurrence, I feel better with it on hand!!

One of the last things I will buy at Sam's.

Cheese flavor is lacking.

Having an emergency food in a convenient pail that doesn't take up too much room is a great concept. I just received this a couple of weeks ago, so, I haven't tried the food yet. I bought this because we have tornadoes around the area quite often, so, it's always good to be prepared. Having a 20 yr. shelf life is also a big plus!

I have been living on this almost exclusively for a few years now. You think this would affect my health. Well it has I am more healthier then I have ever been my vitamin and mineral levels are better then they ever have been and each pack of food is more then enough for me to eat for 1 meal. The only complaint I have is I wish ever bucket included some sort of meat. The dried meat is great so long as you season it as you rehydrate it. As well as adding to their meat selection a dehydrated fish product or even a salmon patty that can be rehydrated and fried. Otherwise if you want a affordable meal option this is the best emergency food I have found and I have tried several. You want something to keep in your car get a small bucket or your basement a larger bucket for the time when you need it most. You will be grateful you have it when you need it for that time a emergency is upon you. How many times have you heard of someone stuck in the middle of winter and died in their car from starvation because nobody could get to them, Or a family was found on the verge of death after a tornado hurricane of flooding because they did not have the food they needed. You have one of these buckets and a way to heat water and you have everything you need to survive for days depending on how you ration your food. A 72hour bucket is plenty to ration for 6 days food if you do it right.

Personally, I found the food to be surprisingly good. However, I do not consider this to contain 92 servings. There are 7 packages with dinner selections, 6 packages of soup selections, 2 packages of elbow macaroni, 1 package of cheese powder, and 1 package of chocolate pudding. Each package serves 2 or 3 people at most. The plastic container was nearly impossible to open, and there are no directions included. Good food in my opinion, but include some directions, provide more servings, and make the package easier to open.
