    People tend to look at this survival food as a "zombie apocalypse / nuclear winter" kind of thing but stuff like this will save your life in the aftermath of a natural disaster. Tornadoes, Earthquakes (significant enough based on locale), Hurricanes, severe blizzards, and even just taking them with you as a lightweight (literally) meal while camping or hiking. It's got a shelf life of 25 years so even if you only eat 3 a year while camping/hiking, that's 10 years to consume the whole bin, meaning it's still good during that whole time.

    When I lived in Bozeman MT, I was an avid backpacker, looking for scenery and a good fly fishing spot. Dehydrated food, such as this, made the hike well worth it. We would filter pump water for our meals. They weren't like "home cooked meals", but they sufficed. They were good enough to give us strength to carry on day to day. And that's what's truly important in times of trouble. ....which we know lies ahead.

    It's ok in a short term survival situation. However, none of the pouches have meat and the protein I believe is from soy or some other poor source. If all you want to do is prep for a 10-20 day situation, go for it since it's easy. But, if you want long term, pack your own food (carbs) in mylar bags and buy large cans of real dehydrated meat (protein).

He thought they were great but all I could taste was garbage. I researched how to decode the expiration date and they had expired 5 years previously. That left me with a special smell and taste and now can tell when anything is starting to go rancid. They did fill the empty place in my stomach.

    It's actually pretty good food. But it comes packaged in pouches of 4-8 servings, and is NOT resealable or easy to divide up into smaller portions without preparing it first. So in a grid down situation where you have no refrigeration, it's only practical if you have a large family.....unless you want to eat 4-8 meals worth of food all at once.

It's not so bad if you still have refrigeration, the meals are good leftover. But if the grid is down the amount it makes would be problematic.

The products like the ones in the video have all their moisture removed so they don’t need chemical preservatives. Maybe some still have preservatives but similar items I eat when I backpack do not, and they don’t cause digestive issues for me (well, no worse than any high carb food).
