Emergency Food Rations- Case of Ten 3600 Calorie Vanilla Bar - 30 Day, 4 Week Value Supply For Disaster, Hurricane - Less Sugar, More Nutrients - 5 Year Shelf Life

First off, my order arrived damaged and one of the bars was exposed, I reached out to the seller and they immediately refunded me so kudos to them for good customer service. As far as the bars go, they are actually pretty tasty and definitely filling. I bought them for my bug out bag and it's good to know I have at least a bit of food in case I ever need it. The bars are substantial but they don't take up too much space in my bag which is a win in my opinion.

Very tasty. Goes down easy.

I bought this in 2023 and threw it into my winter survival kit for my car. I took it out this spring to check on my supplies and notices a small puncture in the vacuum sealed package. I'm disappointed in the packaging, because I know it wasn't thrown around or abused in my kit. So I retired this package and will replace with another, but this time I will probably add a layer of protection around the package to ensure the seal isn't compromised again. I did decide to open the package up since the seal was already broken and the 9 bars come individually wrapped in a thin plastic wrapper (kinda like what you d find with a "Little Debbie's" snack). I saw some dark oxidization on one of the bars, so I am glad I didn't take the risk to try to save it for another year. I chose the best looking bar to try a little nibble for a taste test. The bar is actually pretty flavorful so I will probably buy again, but this time I will make an effort to keep the vacuum sealed package safe.

I teach in "bush" Alaska, and am always looking for emergency rations to take with me hunting, ice fishing, etc. This year I'm in the Aleutians and we get very high winds and no-fly conditions for a week or more at a time. The only things flying then are the angels and the coast guard, which is for most purposes the same thing. I carry granola bars (good), Sailor boy pilot bread (the Alaska staple) and peanut butter (good but crackers are stale tasting unless toasted). Canned food and MREs are heavy, and MRE's are expensive. I just weighed 3 MREs that range from 18 ounces to 22 ounces, and are about 1200 calories each. This 3600 calorie bar weighed just over 24 ounces, far less than the 3 MREs required for the same number of calories. Survival situations in Alaska often require a lot of calories, as people tend to be wet and cold. This is a very low cost way to carry good tasting concentrated calories. I bought some of these bars and one of the three I ordered must have had a hole in it as it lost the vacuum seal. This became the one I taste tested. My wife, 2 children, and I all liked the bars, I thought they tasted like a vanilla wafer cookie, but with more of a lemon flavor than vanilla. My wife used to be a girl scout and says they taste like the lemon trefoil (shortbread) cookie. The lemon flavor is not strong, and these were sweetish, but not sweet enough to make me thirsty. I'm going to try a couple of days on these but I'm very impressed with the price and taste so far. It's pretty hard to get a day's worth of long-term storable portable food for this price.

Great for emergencies.

These taste pretty good. I had to try these out before I buy more for my emergency food stash. I like how they don’t make you thirsty either. One small issue is a few bars inside the plastic were open from one end of the plastic on a few of the bars. Customer service went ahead and made this right for me which shows they are a company worth doing business with. Replacement was sent and its in perfect condition.

FALSE ADVERTISING!!!! Box states 3600 calorie BAR, not 400 calorie bars. My husband needs to quickly pack on pounds for cancer treatment. Shame on you for making me believe you actually DID pack 3600 calories into ONE BAR. I spent a lot of money on your false advertising, but they were so expensive, I figured, "Must be true!" Shame on you for the tiny print admitting they are glorified protein bars with just 400 calories each.

They are individually wrapped, which is nice. They taste like a grainy, kinda gritty shortbread cookie. Not terrible, not impressive. Just meh. But in a survival setting, the taste would obviously be almost irrelevant. I do like how they don't make me thirsty. I could munch on one and not get the urge to chase it with water. What I'm somewhat disappointed about is the fact that the individual wrappings for 6 out of the 9 bars was unsealed....or like the strength of the wrappers at their seams were weak. The moment I lifted the flap of a wrapper(not to open it, just gently lifting it), it's like it gave up on its job. I was left with a gaping hole in the wrapper. And that happened 6 times....So the second I opened the protective pouch, I had to eat what I could and deal with the rest. But other that the weak wrappers, the bars are good.
