1 Person Emergency Food Supply Kit

It came well packaged with a use by date of 2034 very pleased will be ordering more. And if you live in small place the box is tiny so perfect for that.

Had this sent to a relative that was going camping with a group of friends. He had wanted to try something different. He was pleased with the food quality and said he just used normal condiments for flavor boost. But the flavor alone was good. Both he and his camping companions were pleased with the ease of preparation. Convenient and the packages traveled well in his backpack. And being a young person that doesn't like to cook it was perfect. He said he would purchase this product again for other outings.

防災非常食として色々買っていましたが多くが長くて5~7年の保存期間で入れ替えも面倒なので多少高くても保存期限の長いものに切り替えていくことにしました。 Augusonのホームページの記載ではこちらの商品は5パックで合計熱量が8000calありますので3日分とすると2666cal/日となり成人男性でも文句ないカロリー摂取ができます。 保存期限は最長25年となるので頻繁な交換もいりません。 国産でも同じようなフリーズドライ非常食がありますが、価格的には1円/1calなので同等です。 あとは中身の好き嫌いで選ぶことになりますが、私はこちらの内容は問題ないと思い購入しました。 手元に届いた商品の外観は商品説明写真の通りです。 バケツは思ったよりも小さめですが密封状態もしっかりしています。 バケツの蓋を開けると5つの密封されたフリーズドライ食品の入った袋がぎっしり詰まっています。 それぞれの袋には問題ありませんでした。 これなら期限まで持ちそうです。 届いた商品はロット番号から2025年1月製造と推測されます。 保存食なので味見はしませんが、お値段的にも国産品と同等なら一考の価値はあるかと思います。

Edit/update (2/2025). ABSOLUTELY PARAMOUNT to get food at reasonable prices NOW. That being said, I just ordered some more (subscribe and save--hanging in at around $22). As I sniffed around other Augason options, I briefly considered their 14 day (1 person) pail and their 30 day (1 person) pail. At first, both seemed better bargain if considering how many days it covers, or even price per ounce. But something seemed off. THIS set has the cals listed per day at no less than 2500, and the others are 1200 and 1800 respectively. SO, THEN I went back to my trusty standby to determine ultimate value: CALORIES. How many calories are you getting for the money? I proceeded to do the math (all using current subscribe and save pricing). This smaller 3 day container is "significantly" cheaper ie, $0.0001 per calorie vs $0.001 and $0.002 per calorie. Doesnt seem like much, but I'm penny pinching, sorta. If making choice solely on price per cal, then this is the option to start with. If choosing for variety, then the others are doable. I would say the 14 day is good option. I have these tucked away, have lots of other options in mean time, also like the smaller kits in case I feel desire to share. Always better value with buying regular food off store shelf., but these emergency types offer good packaging, long shelf life, and easy to store away. OK, Back to the old review which I have not touched. I read it and sold myself on buying more. LOL --------------------------------------------------------------------- When the single 72 hour kits are on sale around $20, I jump on it. We are getting THREE days worth of calories for around $7 a day, a little over $2 per meal. Even if not using these for strictly emergency, they are budget friendly(ish) for any time. Ok, so yeh I pretty much stock these for emergency use. What this is is providing calories, aka "energy". Do not assume that it will fill your belly or make your taste buds sing. Just know that it is well packaged for long term storage (10 years, not 25, more on that in a moment). In emergencies, we need more calories than we think. This is not the time to diet. With emergency food, the calories will be there, but the "bulk" wont be, so just try to ration it out. You may (or may not) still be hungry, but know that your body will at least have been nourished, and your body and brain has "energy" to work from, and function. Take a look at the product pictures to see all what is in it, and all what you can expect in terms of calories and assortment. Don't cry that it isnt enough food even though it clearly says it has 2667 calories per day. 8000 calories per pail. If it isnt enough for you, then adjust accordingly. Get more variety, or simply tuck this away for super desperate times. BEST PLAN is to have a plan. If you want to use these and have decided that you want to round it out with other foods, then go for it. Buy and tuck away accordingly. Think you will want a lot more food, then maybe double up for those three days. Plan to use 2 of these buckets instead of one (though you best like banana chips,haha). And for the love your braincells, please understand that you need water. You need water before food. So buy some water. Maybe add in some brothy soups or just broth, or foods packed in water. Anything to get hydrated even in unconventional ways. Got enough water to boil pasta? Well dont dump that water, save it for another item to be boiled (or to make coffee, tea with--gross but it is just carb water at that point). Good sized thin pails. Easy open. It is compact, it contains dense calories, and it is meant to be used as emergency food. You will survive on 2500+ cals per day. Might not be what you would normally eat, not be the bulk and texture you normally go for.. but none of this should be a surprise. It is all listed. I knew looking at it that it is food of nearly all the same texture, and some of the calories are taken up by banana chips (high calorie, tasty, but not much bulk--1520 calories are from banana chips alone, which is about 507 calories per day. Lots of calories but not "satiating" in terms of volume). I knew I would be adding this into a wide assortment of supplies to choose from. I can add food to this to make it more interesting, or use it as intended: provide me a few days of food. I like keeping a bucket in my car along with water and other food items (all well packed so not to attract critters), and a hot pot. Good for sudden road side emergencies, bad weather, or having to stay at the office, of if the word stops functioning due to EMP and I have to hike home. I'll have this, some snacks, water, and some food items that I can just open up and eat. I dont know.. options. All bases covered. "Emergency food" isnt my first approach to having a food supply, but it is nice way to round things out. Also, knowing that it is well packaged, if I dont get to these any time soon, I will be set later on down the road. Again, options. So I have my snack bars, meal replacement drinks, bottles of water, tins of various food that can be eaten hot or cold, wide variety of everything, vitamins, electrolyte drinks, some comfort food, and a variety of "emergency" food. Stuff I can just tuck away and not worry about, not have to think about rotating through. Added insurance. Being proactive, being prepared, *gasp*.. being a prepper. That being said, a lot of emergency food is designated as having a 10 or 25 year "shelf life". The best by date is indicative of QUALITY only, and has nothing to do with safety. This is true of nearly all food. Only time it is beneficial to adhere to a best by date is if the product is acidic and packed in an aluminum can, or if can is dented. All else? All good for YEARS beyond the date. Especially if stored in a reasonably stable temp environment (in house, or in basement for example). Just ate some sardines from 2014.. all good. Working through my 2016s now. While I dont plan to use this anytime soon (I have bought these before, used them, liked them enough to pick up a couple on occasion, as well as many many many other Augason Farms products), I dont need it to have 25 years stamped on it. But they really should omit that from the product listing. (ie "up to 25 years). Even so, I am still going with 5 stars. I have several of these now, and have purchased them as gifts.

Bought this emergency kit to see if the Augason farm foods were any good, before I purchased more. This bucket of food is for one person for 3 days. The problems is each food item is in one pouch without a zip look top. Some of the packages did not tell you how to portion out dry food and water to create just one serving. So if you can't portion out one serving and you have to cook the entire package, (which several packages said add 10 cups of water), how are you suppose to store the remaining cooked food in an emergency situation?? The good part is the Banana chip were very good, picky husband liked the Creamy potato soup and creamy chicken flavored rice. The Hearty vegetable flavored soup needs help. The oatmeal was good if your are a fan of oatmeal . If you have water and heat and some type of way to keep the remaining portions cold this is a great little kit or you can use kit as a 1 day kit for 2 or 3 people.

Good buy for the money
