My local Winco recently started carrying these:

I'm not sure how recently, but it can't be very long ago. I wonder what prompted it.
I won't be buying these as a serious emergency option, but I would be half tempted to pick them up just to review them if I could do so at the moment.
Like every other retailer they are trying to compete. All the big names carry some form now.
"Sir, there's a guy in isle 5 taking pictures of survival food."
"Call a code Camo!"
I tried a brand of "shelf stable" food (can't recall the name ATM), but it was horrible.
I guess if I was starving I would eat it, but the dogs wouldn't go near it.
Don't be silly: they never saw me. They didn't have a chance.Quote:

It's merely packets of dehydrated/freeze dried food inside. The bucket makes for convenient storage and transport.Quote:

It is interesting that these are becoming mainstream. Maybe taking responsibility for your own safety isn't so crazy after all. I wonder if the sheep are getting scared or if it is just good marketing. Regardless the more people that have long term food the less immediate panic and looting. Gives us all time to get to BOL's before the wheels come off.

The 72 hrs meant that the food in there is adequate for 72 hrs per person.Quote:

The one I looked up comes with the food, eating and cooking gear.
I agree. Most of the long term food star ages you buy on the market aren't much good. I've had the expensive Wise Company foods. It was ok but not Outback! For me, I stock up on MREs. I'm one of those rare guys who loves them, and the local National Gaurd will give them for free and since I left active duty Army I reenlisted in the Reserves to keep my benefits and I get MREs there also. But without this awesome opportunity I'd rather store my own foods
When I was younger from High School and the first year of college, I worked at a grocery store. I've never seen anything like this were I worked, so I'm intrigued. If you try it, tell me what it's like.
Before you purchase any of the these 'bucket food' packages - take a hard look at the ingredients.
Much of the food sold for 'emergency' use is sky-high in sodium. For one meal, not too big a deal, for a week, may be a problem.
You can do better packing your own oatmeal, parboiled (Minute) rice, soup mixs (Knorr comes to mind) and so on - for far less money than these buckets.
Nothing wrong with home packaged products.....Shelf life may not be as good a the commercial "bucket foods".Quote:

The buckets are supplements........and can be stored in many conditions.
Interesting. My old Sams Club sold 30 day buckets but they were $100+. Must eat good for 3 days if it's a whole bucket.
The bucket serves as a Pilsner Feed Bag
