User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone know if this comes close to providing 3000 calories a day for 30 days? I do not see this containing 90,000 calories
Answer:	The bags are not resealable that being said they are Mylar bags so you can heat seal them if you need to.
Question:	What is the shelf life
Answer:	The large bags take 2-4 cups. Really the same as any other freeze dried meals.They taste good. SUPER cheap, and easy to store. Plus you get a freakin bucket, I mean come on a BUCKET!
Question:	Would this be suitable for vegetarians (no jokes please
Answer:	It says directly on my bucket as of 2020 "unopened products included in kit retain their shelf life after kit container is opened" so if you open the bucket you're individual packets will still have a shelf life of 10-25 years based on food type and storage conditions. So anyone saying that opening the bucket lid lowers the shelf life to 1 year is lying.
Question:	How many servings per bag? And are the bags resealable
Answer:	We have been prepping for years. Knowing how to do this requires a LOT of knowledge. Sometimes, it is best to pay the price for a 'grab a bucket' type situation. Everyone makes that call. Having one - two of these is a good thing, then make your own.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can it be shipped to an other countries
Answer:	No, it can only be shipped within the US.
Question:	How many months does 104 servings last for 1 adult
Answer:	One week, maybe. This is 10,200 calories total. About 2,500 of those are from the pudding and whey milk. It will not last a month unless you combine it with ample amounts of other foods like rice/beans/etc. I figure it will add a little variety to those types of staples, though.
Question:	CONTENTS DETAIL
Answer:	If you scroll down when you are on the Wise variety pack page there is a section called product description and it lets you know what is in the Wise pack.If you need more help with something just ask.Have a good day.
Question:	Are these packed in individual packages? Or is each item in one big package. So when you open it you have to use it in a short time
Answer:	The bucket is sealed, once you open the bucket each meal is in an individual package within the bucket.The bucket cover can be placed back on to close and protect the remaining packages! Hope this helps. ;-)

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there any meat in this
Answer:	No there is not.
Question:	Are these packaged in individual servings
Answer:	No, they are not packaged in individual servings. I do not know of any that are. Usually they are in multiple servings in most food. I think that this is more packaged for a few a couple people per package. The Southwest Rice and Beans for Instance has 4 servings in the pouch, so each serving is 1/4 of the pouch(49g) with the whole pouch being (194g)
Question:	Listing says 124 servings, but description says 84 servings. What is it
Answer:	This food bucket has 124 servings

User questions & answers

Question:	How does the food cook? Do I have to have hot water or is there some kind of heating element to this
Answer:	Just add hot water, visit the Wise Food website for details
Question:	How much salt or msg are in these products? I tried one from mountainhouse and was sick with headaches and dizziness for hours. I am diabetic
Answer:	All long term storage food contains high amounts of salts, You should check each pouch to see which one contains acceptable levels.
Question:	Wise lists 2 servings per pack. Is this actually a one person meal in reality
Answer:	I'm glad so many people don't like it. That leaves more for us that know what it is. It's survival food not a gourmet restaurant meal. If you read what it says this is a 72 hour kit for ONE PERSON. I'm surprised what some people expect for $20 for 3 days of food.

Question:	If you only eat a few, can rest be safely repacked? Are meals as seen in photo? How are the heated or cooked
Answer:	You need a heat source and boiling water to cook these. and the bags are not resealable, if you have some ziplock bags that problem is solved
Question:	How many does it serve
Answer:	This company is a terrible liar. I would not purchase this pack. The food is enough for 2 people for maybe 1.5 days so I'd guess 4 or 5 servings of food, not 52. They give you 45 servings of kool aide so they can claim 52 servings.

User questions & answers

Question:	So 3 bags for $23! That can be right - can it
Answer:	Yes, these lentils will sprout! While they are not organic they are sourced directly from a family farm in Idaho and meet the highest USDA standards. gas will sprout!
Question:	Are these the same bags they sell at Walmart for $3.oo
Answer:	As to the date of the black beans, I do not know. However, I recommend the black beluga lentils from the same company. They are nicely tender after about 40 min with no pre-soaking. I use them instead of black beans. They maintain their shape, in contrast to other lentils, which become mushy.

User questions & answers

Question:	is it too salty
Answer:	Each pouch is a "meal" which consists of 2 or so "servings". Not looking at the pouch as I type but there is typically 2 servings to every pouch. So you're getting 600 calories per meal, in this case, which is about right. One of the things I like about MH is that they are STARTING to come around to using "meal" rather than "serving". Needless to say a MH meal is or will be too much for some people and too little for others. However, other emergency meal vendors are sticking to "serving" when describing their quantities. That, as you have observed is SERIOUSLY confusing. With MH it's "one and done". With their cans it's a bit different but workable. With other vendors it's multiple pouches and leftovers. Especially Wise. Another thing is comparing the costs between pouches (meals) and cans (serving). MOST of the time you will find pouches are cheaper than cans per serving. That is subject to change, so check ALL THE TIME!
Question:	How many days will it feed a family of four
Answer:	Check the advertisement carefully
Question:	I am looking for a complete list of contents and what are the dates on the packages
Answer:	It is one pouch that contains 2 servings.
Question:	How many days will it feed 1 person
Answer:	Different sellers. Look at the sellers vs. shipping. Unless free shipping on single packs, the single packs will cost you the 4 shipping charges as well.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long will two buckets feed one person? One month, two months
Answer:	If you stay at home when you sleep, you should be protected. Personally, I have found that flatulence repels bears better than anything else. My wife was skeptical, but I pointed out that there was not one bear sighted in our neighborhood. Consume eggs, beer, and lots of beans, then crawl inside the sleeping bag and fart away. Chances are pretty good that you won't see any bears - or any of your companions. Hope you find this helpful.
Question:	are these kits made fresh when you order and is the 25 year selhve life good from time you by product or
Answer:	6.25 in long. Half inch wide, 1.25 at wide point on spoon. Half inch deep from knife to spoon, goes down to about 1/8 at the bottom.
Question:	What is the shelf life, if placed in a completely cool, dark, and dry crawlspace, please
Answer:	Thick enough not to bend, but not so thick that it adds weight. You are camping so you want something that's going to hold up and be compact and lightweight. You cannot beat this.
Question:	The language in this is pretty ambiguous. How many calories total does this kit provide? How many calories per day
Answer:	1.25 mm, or 0.05 inches, 1/20 of an inch thick (I stacked 3 sets together then took off a knife the come up with 8 utensils together being 1 cm thick, measured with a yard stick.) It is stainless steel and rigid. If you are trying to cut thick, tough meat the knife will be a little uncomfortable but otherwise the set is fine.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you need hot water to prepare it
Answer:	YES, they can. I put a packet in the freezer and held it there for two days, then let it thaw, then repeated the process. No leaks! Important to me because I carry packets in my off road vehicle in freezing temps. I needed confidence that the H2O I kept for just in case would be usable despite several freezing / thawing cycles.
Question:	How many total calories in entire bucket
Answer:	About the size of a 12oz, can of beer.
Question:	How many different Entrée & what are they? No info here
Answer:	Heidi,The product is not made of soft linen so there is some noise, however to me, it does not sound like a loud candy wrapper being crunched up.
Question:	what is the manufacture date and or expiration date
Answer:	I went camping to try out my $3 emergency blanket, thinner and cheaper than this...twice. it wasn't comfortable, . In 55f, I got pretty warm, to warm actually, and had to switch to my regular bag... But when I went in winter, around 28f. I sleeped in my clothes. Uncomfortable, but wasn't that cold. Emergency sleeping bags and Regular work differently. Athough both help keep your body heat, the method is similar, yet different. They don't rate emerging sleeping bags I'm guessing because regular sleeping bags use instalation material, which is easier you rate how much it helps keep body heat and works by useing certain material and certain density... (what material and how density depending if they make a summer bag 50f , or winter bag30f , cheap and bid or high end, small and lightweight. Wide range in all categories. But basically it's a thick barrier between you and cold. The emergency sleeping bags/ foil type help keep you warm by refecting your body heat back... a barrier yes, but not thick. These also do not breath, and in some cases, can get to hot (I was sweating when I tried it 55f) I haven't tested this one yet, but I feel it'll be ok in an emergency.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the expiration dates on the pouches then
Answer:	The expiration dates list the suggest ‘use by’ date for the products. This information allows one to rotate the food items for products to be used in a timely manner.
Question:	what is the salt content
Answer:	http://wisefoodstorage.com/60-serving-gourmet-freeze-dry-meat-supply.htmlIt's here just go to nutritional info. I found it to not taste too salty and I am sensitive to it. A couple chips and my head goes numb. I will also add that my package came with rice in separate packages and rice needs salt. It was all surprisingly good and I was surprised because some of the premixed things like stews tend to taste awful IMHO. You could put some sauce packages up with it and some seasonings and it really makes superior food for emergencies or any other time. This is actually one of my favorite emergency and backpacking supplies.
Question:	shelf life
Answer:	Jim, they claim it has a shelf life of 20 plus years but I'd have to be damn hungry to try it after that amount of time.
Question:	what is the total calories of the kit
Answer:	I received this "Wise" kit yesterday. Their info is misleading. No way is the junk goumet and all total each serving may be 50 calories. I put bucket and all on digital scale and it did not even register any weight so I weigh with it and then without out and the total weight including bucket is 6 pounds 0 ounces. I tried to try one. Followed directions exactly. You would get better taste and nutrition if you boiled the box it came in.It is about 50 calories per serving. You have to eat the whole bucket to get enough calories for one person.The total calories of the whole group of crap I would not eat. Gave the tiny little re hydrated pieces of meat to my dogs reluctantly and they would not eat the rice either. You will have another kind of emergency if you try to depend on this. Buy anything else. Slim Jim Jerky, Ramon Noodles, Vienna Sausage..I may try a different brand but this one is NOT going to help if you need eatable food with calories.
