ReadyWisePrepper 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 love this product and not only use it in cooking. I have it in my food storage for emergencies. Great value simple to use easy to store. I highly recommend it.

I hate listening to the news. Unfortunately, it sounds like a war in the near future. I want to be prepared for whatever happens. If there is no war , this is still good food!

These were better than expected for MRE'S ...we took them on our road trip to save money from eating out. They made ALOT of food! We would reheat the leftovers the next morning for either breakfast/lunch. We did "doctor them up" with some extra cheese and seasoning but they didn't need alot!

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.

Want to be prepared for anything? This should be one of them on your list!!! And it last up to 25 years!!!

When preparing for the future, this wonderful selection fits in nicely with long-term preservation and healthy living.

It was what I expected. This will be very useful if needed during a disaster.

I read many reviewers mention that some of the packs had holes, so I was sure to check my bags immediately upon delivery.The delivery box was fine, and the bucket itself was fine. No damage at all.Inside my gluten free box were all gold plastic packs. The packs are all multiple servings, 6 or 8 servings.As I pulled out the packs, I noticed several had some powder on them, and the bucket did have some orangey powder on the inside as well. The orange powder smelled like ramen flavor pack.Examining the packs, I found that the teriyaki rice packs all looked like they had small punctures, and one had a definite tear , about 1/4 inch. I guess this recipe has some really sharp pointy ingredients that can puncture the bags when they vacuum seal it.The tortilla soup bags had some pokes.The yogurt bags were fine and the potato chicken pot pie bags were fine.My gluten free box has no meat in the recipes, so I guess I can just put the questionable bags in a vacuum seal bag for extra protection since they are supposed to be freeze dried. They should keep ok (I hope!), but not for 25 years.You cannot return the food!!! And I was not able to find a contact phone number or email for the company. If you have issues with your box, contact Amazon customer service directly so they can help you.Another thing about the instructions included for reconstituting the food. The multiple serving bags of meals say to use 6 cups of water for the whole bag (which is 6 servings), but for the yogurt, it only says to add 1 cup of water for whole bag of 8 servings?? I guess I'll only know when I try eating it...I don't know why the company doesn't read these reviews and respond to the repeated complaints of torn bags inside the buckets. They need to come up with a better way to keep these ingredients sealed to last for 25 years as they claim.I purchased in September 2024, and all the components of my box were labeled as April 2024.
