Ready Hour, Emergency Meal Entrées, Real Non-Perishable Meals, 25-Year Shelf Life, Portable Flood-Safe Container, 120 Servings

This item is essential for emergencies. If you ever need to use it, that’s great; and if you don’t need it, that’s fine too. At least you’ll have something prepared for a natural disaster. The shelf life is quite long, so if you don’t end up using it, you can always donate it to a charity or a homeless shelter. It’s never a waste of money. Cheers!

Make sure you have enough water to add to these in an “emergency/survival situation!! Other than that, excellent flavor and portion size. They do the “trick” to fill you up in an emergency situation and are good source of calories when hiking and/or camping situation. I DEFINITELY recommend these!!The only problem I have is the flavor of the Mushroom Rice Pilaf. It has an overpowering “onion” taste. I particularly didn’t like it. I’m sure you can “doctor” it up but in an “emergency” situation I guess it’ll work.

I ordered this product along with ReadyWise 30 Day Supply, and they arrived the same day. I immediately noticed how this was a superior product. A few bags from my ReadyWise bucket had burst and contents had spilled. The bags are extremely flimsy. The ReadyHour bags are much sturdier and I'd feel comfortable traveling with them/taking them camping without worrying that they'd burst. Also, the meal options are vastly superior. The ReadyWise comes with a lot of granola, white rice, and pancake mix - all things that are extremely easy (and cheap) to store long term on your own. The ReadyHour options are more complete meals with more protein, variety and less sugary options. The price is also superior. For just around $1 a serving in my opinion this is a deal. Good to have on hand in case of emergencies, and will also be using for camping. Will purchase again!

If you have never been in the military, FEMA, or refugee camp, you may find these bad.Those of you who have had the pleasure (displeasure?) of experiencing field rations; K, C, or MRE might find these quite delicious.Emergency food is just that, for EMERGENCIES!!! Like field rations, it is meant to fill your gut so you can continue fighting. It isn't a 5 star meal, but it will make a turd and keep you alive until tomorrow!My grandmother, who grew up during the Depression, had a saying that I did not understand until my Military time, it was, "Hunger adds spice to ANYTHING!"Don't compare it to Red Lobster, or Wendy's, compare it to NO FOOD AT ALL!!!These are packaged in resealable bags with instructions on how to prepare portions or the whole bag, but you need measuring cups. You know, that ONE THING you forgot to put in your bug-out bag!?!?!?The only two negatives I can say, it they assume you will have access to cooking facilities and untesils, and the meals are very carbohydrate heavy/ minimal protein.Oh, and EVERTHING needs salt.With all that being said, I WILL buy this again!

Unlike a lot of MREs, these are freeze dried. Therefore, it will take boiling water to activate them and rehydrate them.Thankfully, it becomes with a guide in order to ensure that you have the proper amount of water for the exact amount of food that you want.Each item has a specific nutritional value so you can get the calories you need in an emergency; as well on the box there are a nutrition facts labels for each item in the box.Each bag is enough to feed one to two people so it is decent size per bag.I have about six sitting in my house so I consider a great value for the money. It last like 25 years. One of these days just for the heck of it I’m gonna open one and see if it tastes as good as or better than the ready to go MRE. But just remember this is survival food. It’s not gonna be cucumber sandwiches at the Ritz lol

Plum full of food, and a great container for easy storage. Meals sound great.

Received this order yesterday, a bit earlier than expected. 1) Individual Packets were made of strong material and were packed tightly in container bucket. 2). No packets were damaged or open. 3) Included were a total of 22 packets, 2 items in 3 packets and the remaining 16 items in 2 packets each. 4) Servings on packets varied between 4 and 8 servings per packet for a total of 120 servings. 5) Because of original tight packing, I had one packet left over when repacking so I decided to cook it - Creamy Alfredo Pasta. Followed directions precisely. Pasta ended up well cooked and creamy if a bit bland. Not “delicious” but certainly acceptable, especially in an emergency environment. I added salt to my portion prior to eating. I highly recommend. Quality product.

CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE YOU BUY: There are 22 pouches per bucket, 120 servings @$126 (price + shipping= $1.05 per serving). All 22 pks. are either pasta, rice or instant potato recipes. They require anywhere from 4½ to 8 Cups of water to prepare. , 25 to 30 min. cooking time. NUTRITION: 2 pks. 55% saturated Fat; 4 pks. 30% saturated Fat; 3 pks. 25% saturated Fat-All per 1 Cup Cooked. 11 pks. anywhere from 490-580 mg Salt per 1 Cup Cooked. COST: I tried the Chili Mac. It requires 8 C. of water. The taste was OK but I added chili powder and hot pepper flakes to enhance the taste. Made 6-2 Cup servings. Compare this to the cost of a regular 32 oz. store box of elbow macaroni ($.99) and a 15 oz. can of chili ($.99). These packaged foods can be used to supplement your weekly meals and are very price competitive. Nutrition wise, if you have health issues with cholesterol and high blood pressure, about 9 out of 22 of these prepared packages would not be a wise choice for frequent consumption. For emergencies, their real purpose, they would probably be OK.
