4Patriots 72-Hour Emergency Food Supply Survival Kit, Perfect for Camping, Freeze Dried Preparedness Food, Designed to Last 25 Years, Be Ready with 16 Servings of Delicious Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner

Llego un poco tarde pero llego, creo que lo mandan de USA, llego todo en buen estado.

Really good food, pleasantly surprised. Ordered these as a trial and based on these items I will expand my inventory. All meal packs were very tasty and were of sufficient capacity to feed multiple people.

Ok, right off the bat I want to say that I haven't eaten these yet as they are an emergency food supply so I don't know how they taste, but I gave them five stars for taste because I'm taking them at their word. And the thing that bugs me about the product could just be that the producers of the product had a different view for how these would be used than I did. But I purchased them for an emergency "go bag" for situations such as, after a natural disaster, or if I got stranded somewhere and needed to have emergency rations. The product is advertised as 72 hours of food for emergencies. There are three packets. One of oatmeal (presumably for breakfast), one of mac and cheese (presumably for lunch) and one of a chicken and rice meal of some kind (presumably for dinner). And one of the things that attracted me to this set was that it had "real food" rather than a 3600 calorie snack bar or other thing like that. But each packet says it has 8 servings and they're all in that same packet. The outer package has a ziploc on it, but the individual packets of food don't. So, I'm trying to picture just how this would work in a situation where I would have to divvy up the 8 servings to last three days. Once I open the packet I can't reseal it. I can't guarantee that in an emergency I'll have measuring cups available to figure out how much to make so I'll have enough to last. And if I make it all, then how do I store the uneaten part? I was picturing more of an MRE pack where they are individually packaged for each meal. And that would work best if I were stranded in a car, or in the wilderness, or even if there has been a natural disaster and I'm at home without electricity. The package does say that it's great for camping, and I agree, that would probably work best. But there is still the issue of having eight servings in a single bag. So, I'm hopeful that I'll be able to figure out the best way for this to work. And, realistically, in an emergency food is food. I hope it tastes as good as advertised.

Not good tasting food, I added some spicy seasoning and that helped, but the overall taste and texture were not good. I get this is for emergencies and YES, I would eat this and be happier than being hungry, but there must be better tasting emergency foods out there...Just my opinion oh and the rice with peas and carrots in a sauce has hardly any protein

If you are buying this to stock up for a "survival" situation, I strongly recommend you crack one open and try it first. If you are buying this for camping/hiking you want to look at other options. First the packaging. This is packaged in such an odd way for a "72 hour" kit. 72 hours is 3 days and there are 3 meals included in this kit. You would think you would get 3 packets of breakfast, 3 packets of lunch and 3 packets of dinner. But you don't. You get 1, non-resealable bag of breakfast which includes 8 servings - 1, non-resealable bag of lunch which includes 4 servings and 1, non-resealable bag of dinner which includes 4 servings. Each printed with the directions on how to cook each entire packet. If you are in an emergency situation where power is out, or you are on the trail with no power... how are you supposed to keep the food from going bad for the next 3 days if you are meant to prepare the servings at once? They are after all meant to feed 1 person for 72 hours. 2nd the meals. These are not freeze dried meals. You may be thinking these are like a Mountain House meal. They are not. The breakfast is just oatmeal with brown sugar and some maple flavoring, not freeze dried at all... and I wouldn't expect oatmeal to be. The lunch (mac and cheese) and the dinner (creamy rice and vegetables) aren't freeze dried but contain some "powdered" components. The mac and cheese is comparable to store brand mac and cheese in a box - noodles aren't pre-cooked and freeze dried and the cheese is powdered. The rice and and vegetables is the same with the exception of the vegetables which may be freeze dried or maybe just dehydrated but it's mostly just a package of powdered "creamy" sauce. Either way, other than the oatmeal these meals are not easy to cook on the trail or at camp like a Mountain House would be and in a survival or emergency situation where you may be without power they would be difficult to properly cook. 3rd the taste. I really wanted to like these but no. The mac and cheese was worse than what I remember school lunch being like. The cheese had such a weird flavor, kind of tangy but definitely not creamy and was nothing like what the packaging shows. The rice and vegetables was awful. The vegetables... a couple peas, never fully softened and the rice was rubbery. It wasn't creamy either just bleh, kind of just there. The oatmeal was OK, it's hard to mess up oatmeal. I do appreciate that some of the proceeds of these meals go to help veterans and that kind of makes the purchase worth it. Could you survive on these in an emergency? Yeah, probably. But there are a lot of better options out there, you could just stock up on the store brand boxed food these are undoubtedly packaged next to for less money. I would never suggest these for camping/hiking meals. 0.5 star for the OK oatmeal and 1.5 star for helping veterans, every other aspect of this is a total failure. Sorry, 4Patriots... this is not good.
