Lunch & Dinner Variety Kit Emergency Food Supply, 113 Servings, 25 Year Shelf Life - Dehydrated Meals, Survival Food Camping Essentials, 4 Gallon Bucket

My expectations for this emergency kit were exceeded. Despite my reservations based on other reviews, I decided to purchase it when the price was favorable. Upon arrival, I was pleased to find the bucket completely full, with all items securely packed to the brim. Contrary to some concerns I had read, none of the individual packages sustained any damage during shipping.The clear labeling and reasonable expiration dates on all items were immediately appreciated. Furthermore, the bucket's seal was incredibly sturdy and appeared to be of high quality.At this time, I am thoroughly satisfied with this purchase. I have also acquired a similar product from this company and intend to submit a separate review for it. Once I have had the opportunity to prepare and sample some of the meals from both kits, I will update my reviews with further insights regarding ease of preparation, taste, and overall quality.

This item is essential for emergencies. If you ever need to use it, that’s great; and if you don’t need it, that’s fine too. At least you’ll have something prepared for a natural disaster. The shelf life is quite long, so if you don’t end up using it, you can always donate it to a charity or a homeless shelter. It’s never a waste of money. Cheers!

We got for a 4 day camping trip for the family. Food was good! Only complaint is that for the Mac n Cheese, there are 2 bags of noodles for 2 meals but they sent 1 double sized bag of cheese powder. Once you open up one serving, you are forced into making 2 before it lumps up. Would have been nice to save the second set for another trip.

I got this emergency food supply for my family just to have something on hand in case we ever need it. The 4-gallon pail was packed full when it arrived, and none of the individual packages were damaged, which was nice. I wasn’t sure about the taste of these meals, but after looking through the different varieties of entrées and soups, I felt a little better knowing there was a decent mix of options. The food is easy to prepare too, which was a big plus since I didn’t want anything that would take a lot of time.The labeling was clear, and the pail had a good seal on it, so I felt confident it would stay safe and fresh. I’ve seen other emergency food kits before, but this one seemed to have more variety. I like that it could be used in a cabin or even while traveling. I haven’t tried all the meals yet, but the ones I have tried were fine. It’s a good feeling to know we have something ready, just in case.

I live in an area that gets frequent hurricanes so an emergency food supply sounds good. I received my order yeasterday, tried one meal the stroganoff and the rest of the pail is in my closet for an emergency.I'm really happy. It seems a great value for what I paid for it. I'll probably buy another and be set fir the hurricane season and beyond.

I bought this 8 years ago. It has been exposed to temperatures ranging from 30 to 90's Fahrenheit. Tonight, we had the mac & cheese. Here is a direct quote of what my 3 year old said:"Holy crap! This is so good!Oh, man..Oh my gosh... Hallelujah!This is the best in the whole wide world. Totally good!"8 years in, everything has help up well. Taste is decent. Textures are surprisingly nice. Not everything is a hit, but my kid had never in his life said "hallelujah" before tonight.

Great to have in case of an emergency Great taste

The bucket was a little hard to open but the food was all OK inside. Picture is the cream of potato soup and the taste is amazing, nice and thick and creamy. I can't wait to try the rest.
