Mainstay Emergency Food 2400-cal Bars (Pack of 6) 12 Day Rations (36 Servings 3x400cal/per/day)

It's been a while since I've been dabbling with the 'go bag' world and these seemed like good options. According to other reviews, these are dry, crumbly lemon flavored 2 in squares of eh, okay They are pretty much exactly what they claim to be. For a long time I waited for a review to test two claims specifically. A reviewer mentioned the next day that once they were open they went stale, one of the reasons I went with the 2400 instead of the Having tried one of these, I can report that for a moderately hectic day such as this, you'll do fine feeling slightly hungry and quite As a test of the stale theory, I left half in a zip lock bag for a month. They were fine, did not develop any mold, and were not stale after 14 days when I took them out of their factory sealed bags. The packaging got weird reviews, according to the second claim. people got bags that were either open or awkwardly sealed that opened on their own, as happened to me. A few of the bars are sealed so it looks like they ran out of stuff, so they just crammed them in and hoped for the best, but got the worst. Not a big deal, I just ate the pack and went on with my life. I was not given packs that were less than 5 years old because I got mine more than 5 years old. Before I got them, they had all been packaged three months ago. The majority of the time I stick with granola bars and rotate them out of my pack every six months due to the price, the work involved with storing once you open, and the risk of the package failing.

I like it as a dessert, but wonder how so much sugar can be tolerated if it is the only food available in a disaster. Certainly, foil packaging is not resealable. Still, for those still enthralled by this -- it doesn't bother me. recommend putting a ziplock bag in the Those, however, tear easily and are bound to wear out in a vehicle due to vibrations. To deal with these sickening sweet cubes, a stainless steel water bottle can be used.

No experience with it so far. Oh my gosh, those are heavy. Hiking seemed like it would be a good use for them. There is no way I can imagine Marines carrying a trunk of these things. However, we will keep them at home in case of an.

The bricks were purchased for emergencies and storage, but I also like to test out the products first. I have used one brick for day hikes and overnight hikes so far. surprised at the taste and texture, it was kind of like a vanilla sugar cookie, it was great. It's easy to pack a small piece of these on a hike and they provide a nice boost/energy boost. You could carry some of these in case you were in an emergency. In a matter of seconds, the brick breaks into six However, the cubes, without a knife, are hard to break, they crumble too much, and they do not look very pretty. For hiking, I put the main bag in a gallon ziplock bag, and that seems to work well enough to contain it.

The crumble is a little sweet. As if cornbread was a cross between a cookie and oatmeal. As well as being easy on the stomach, they're delicious. When an emergency occurs, or just keeping one in the backpack, they are great for energy.

As it turned out, I liked this a lot more Despite the packaging being quite sturdy, it still manages to stay intact. I will use this when my car breaks down or if there is a natural disaster.

All the kids enjoyed it when we tried it out. There is a bit of sweetness and it is quite dense, but not too much sweetness or too much density. It is like a (dense) sugar cookie according to my children.
