    This is a very nice package in all. The food tastes good and its very easy to store as well. Would be a good idea to buy 5 or 6 of these and stack them on top of each other. Plus theres a little extra room in each bucket for extra pouches and storage.

    #10 cans are ok for situations where you can setup a kitchen. However, I always liked the portability, size, and convenience of pouches. The problem with pouches was their shelf life compared to the #10 cans. Therefore, I had to rotate pouches by using them for camping. This product gives me great convenience AND great shelf life. I am switching my pouches to this storage format.

    This isn't the cheapest food storage option out there (when compared to other "bucket" options), but the taste is great and if I'm going to be "stuck" eating emergency rations, I'd rather eat this stuff as it tastes great!

    These buckets will also easily stack on top of each other for easy storage.

    I just bought 4 of these for my adult children as Christmas gifts. After one of my daughters had to hurry to a store to stock up on three days supply of food during Super Storm Sandy, I decided they all need a supply on hand at all times. The shelf life of this product is a real selling point. PS..she did not lose power, just couldn't get anywhere for several days.
