Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I inspected the contents and all the Mylar pouches of food were there and were properly sealed. The bucket contains 21,020 calories of lunch and dinner meals, or about 15 days of food (not including fifteen 667 calorie breakfasts) if you are aiming for 2000 calories per day. Each pouch contains multiple servings, so you will need to have some Zip Lock bags to store the opened pouches. All the food requires mixing with boiled water and some requires simmering, so you will need a supply of clean water and a camp stove or some other way to boil water in a cooking pot. When I re-packed the food bucket, there was enough space left to add a Mylar bag of 6.5 cups of quinoa grain (26 servings of whole grain complete protein at 170 calories per serving). For a true grid-down emergency, the nutrition in this bucket would be a big help. I would supplement it with a #10 can of vitamin C-fortified drink mix and 2 or 3 #10 cans of freeze-dried non-starchy vegies (broccoli, carrots, zucchini, spinach...) for more balanced nutrition.
