Life Gear - LG329 Emergency Food, Water & Thermal blanket for 1 person, 3 days, add to emergency or survival kit Brown Box

Although we haven’t had to use our emergency pack yet, I feel more comfortable knowing we have them in case of emergency. After researching other emergency kits, this one was the most economical and fully equipped. The back packs are wonderful. Ergonomically made to be easy to carry with plenty of pockets for your personal things. I give this product 5 stars

Product was manufactured 8/22 and was received 1/24, so almost a year and a half lost, but its not a big deal. Its a good deal for a small price, for a just in case scenario.

The tote is just big enough to carry the food, water, and blanket. There is a detachable shoulder strap that comes with it. The main compartment can be zippered closed and is used to hold the food and blanket. There are 3 pockets near the top of the main compartment that can be used to hold extra blankets or unused/unfinished food bars. The outer face has six discreet pockets for holding the water packets. The tote has some pretty rugged construction and can be easily used again for other things like holding tools or medical supplies after the food and water are all gone. The food is a 6" X 5.5" X 1.25" slab that is subdivided into 9 bars that are approximately 2" X 1.83" X 1.25" each. 400 calories per bar. 3,600 calories total. Tastes like semi-sweet angel food cake made ultra-dense and crumbly like a big thick cookie. The fine sugar granules give it a slight sand-like grittiness as you chew. After eating one of these, I can almost guarantee that you'll want to wait several hours before attempting another one. It's not that they're bad tasting, it's just that they don't inspire mass consumption the way "real" food does. They say it is non-thirst provoking, but I would say it is minimally thirst provoking. After eating one of these bars, I was looking forward to a few sips of water to wash it down. The main ingredients in order are enriched flour, vitamins and minerals, vegetable shortening, and granulated sugar. 5-year shelf life, but once you open the package, you'll have to eat it all or let the rest go to waste because all the food becomes exposed to air and there is no way to re-seal it other than to put it back in the tote and zipper it closed. The water comes in six separate 4.225 oz sealed metalized pouches. The pouch says the water comes from "Oxnard Municipal Water Source" whatever that is, tap water probably. The taste is fairly clean with a bit of plastic flavoring and a hint of WD-40. The blanket comes highly folded and sealed in a small zip-lock baggie. It is the space-age type of mylar that is very thin, but very warm and highly reflective. If you put your head under the blanket you can still see through it kinda like silver reflective sunglasses. Dimensions are about 59" X 82".

It gets the essential items I need for emergencies in a single small box.

These emergency kits were already three years old when shipped by Amazon. Although I placed the order in 2025, the water and rations were manufactured in 2022. That means they were already two years into their shelf life upon arrival. Buyers should be able to expect kits to ship the same year they’re purchased—otherwise, they’re only getting three useful years out of a five-year shelf life. This feels misleading and raises serious concerns about the product’s effectiveness in a true emergency.

I keep these in the trunks of my cars in case of emergency. I hope I never have to use it. In a few years when the food is about to expire I will sample it and update this review. 5 stars for the price and concept.

Nice little kit to get you started, or hopefully enough to help you if it hits the fan. Decent price. I got it in the mail in only 2 days! I hope I never have to use it, but Im glad I have this kit if i ever do need it.

Different brands than what’s pictured which wouldn’t be a big deal if it was new product. The product was 2 years old already meaning it was only good for another 3 year not 5 as expected. Returned it and planning to purchase from somewhere else.

perfect for a single person living alone. Living in BC I would suggest that everyone have one on hand as we have earthquakes happening more and more in the area

Water bags subject to puncture

Ordered 5 and they all are 2 years old so not the 5 year like I need for daycare

Tap water from Oregon water system?!?!? WTF??? I paid for TAP WATER????
