What is a survival food kit? A food kit is a complete freeze dried or dehydrated food package (sometimes both) designed to supply an individual - or many individuals - with a complete daily supply of food for a specified number of days, months, or even years. Shelf life is decades for most food products. No refrigeration is required for their storage, these products are dry-packed foods in airtight containers.
Our survival food kits are the real deal - wholesome nutritious food you would expect. They contain real food for real people in real emergency situations. Our kits are the real deal - with real food that you can eat every single day as a daily diet, no need for an emergency situation - not some skimpy low calorie "one serving per day" starvation packages found all over the Internet. Eat as you normally would, and not be limited to insufficient calories, tiresome pre-made meals or small serving sizes.
Nutrition is a major failing on most food storage plans advertised online. Insufficient calories is the #1 area where companies will "cheat" on their food plans, inflating tiny servings to increase the "servings count" but offering low-calorie units that won't last a fraction of the time their advertised if you actually had to survive on these packages. Our comparison page list many different examples of this problem. We have very often found "1 Year Food Plans" that will only last 3 - 4 months if eaten as a normal diet, and 3 month food plans that won't even last 1 month. Remember, you are not going to be able to just live on less food, nutritional requirements remain the same (or increase under stress or heavy physical labor or additional mouths to feed).
We do not recommend "survival buckets" or "totes" either full of pre-packaged meals. These are lousy replacements for real food (outright gimmicks) and are calorie and nutritionally deficient. Forget the "quick fix" for real food - it does not exist and institutions like the Red Cross, US Military, hospitals and emergency aid organization know this - which is why they don't buy these type of food packages, they don't work in real life. Real food isn't substituted by anything but real food that has adequate nutrition, calories, servings, weight and size. Variety and different meal preparations are also essential to avoid food fatigue. Save your money and shop smart with real food for your food storage program.
