Emergency Food & Water for Your Car – Live Life Ready, On The Go, Wherever You Go

UPDATE: One of the comments on this review bugged me - I don't feel bad about not having tried one at the time, but I do think I could've put more info in the original review. So since I was going to add more info, I figured what the heck, so I stole one I got for my husband's truck and busted it open...Yup, it's water.We live in the mountains and our water is straight from a spring. Really excellent water, so I'm totally spoiled. This pouch was, admittedly, not as good as my usual house water, but then again, it's for my truck so I wouldn't have access to my house water anyway ;) But it did taste fine, ever so slightly flat (but it was warm) but nothing off-putting or chemical-y. I remain quite pleased with this for its intended purpose - in our trucks for emergency use.Was size it claimed to be. The pouch is sturdy, the date is printed clear (and shelf life as long as advertised), they sent exactly what I paid for & expected. The water is in 2 pouches inside the main pouch, each with notches for opening. 1 packet was about 9 average mouthfuls (4.225 fl oz per pouch).Additional info - I got a total of 4 pouches, 2 for each of our trucks. While there are no sharp objects in the storage bins with these, there are other items that have bounced around with them and all pouches have held up well, no leaks or worries.Tried the food part of it today. It says it "won't provoke thirst", and they're 2 big ol fat cakes of "apple cinnamon food bar", very dry looking, so I was skeptical. When I took my first bite, it was extremely crumbly (so if you really are in an emergency situation, be very careful with them). So again I thought this is definitely going to make me thirsty. But by the time I finished chewing, I was not thirsty and my mouth did not feel dry in any way.It didn't taste very good, but at least they didn't fib about the thirsty part. It's in its own vac-pack inside the main bag. Also has a little notch to open it with (was a bit tough, and if I was frozen/injured-clumsy it would have been quite difficult). It's a thick bar that easily breaks into two pieces, at 200 calories each. It smelled like apples, but the taste is mainly just sweet. Very very sweet, with a little bit of unpleasant (but not terrible) aftertaste.Even though it breaks into 2 bars, and there's 2 packets of water, the bar is considered 1 serving. On the nutritional info - I can't claim to know much about nutrition, but it seems more like a calorie-for-energy-you-may-need bar than a nutrition-bar. It's basically flour with stuff added, and then pressed into a bar. It does have vitamins but a ton of sugar and fats (not much salt) and carbs.In conclusion, I'm pretty satisfied with these. The outer main bag is a really thick mylar and has held up well being tossed around in our trucks. The inner individual bags also give extra protection. It's not much, volume wise, but you're paying for reliable 5 year shelf life, and emergency convenience, so I'm good with it.

Small & compact. Have to open the pouch to see the expiration dates on the items. It is not listed on the outside packaging. Might want to add that info for folks like myself who want to know the expiration dates at just a glance.

This makes a good starter for a 24 hr kit. Adding on Emergency blanket , possibly a fire kit & pocket knife.

Perfect little bag that contains food and water in case of an emergency that fits right into any car.

Excellent product that was delivered very quickly. Great experience with the seller. 5 stars!

It's very overpriced. Mostly bought it b/c it was an emergency source of water that would not evaporate. But it's not worth the price.

Super happy with the products! Fast shipping!

Returned the item. It was vastly overpriced for the inexpensive and low quality items it contained.
