I put my packets in freezer bags so i can split up the servings once opened. ALSO throw a set of salt and pepper shakers in the bucket along with some utensils.
I saw some reviews that said the food was very bland, after picking up one of these on the cheap. Wallyworld had a big center aisle bin of cheap spices so I bought a couple (onion,garlic etc) and threw them in the bucket. Lots of room on top of the packets.
These are so easy to make at home with a vacuum sealer and your everyday oven can be used as a dehydrator for fruits vegetables and lean meat. The key to dehydration of meat is to rinse the fat. I make dehydrated turkey spaghetti for long camping trips and it’s delicious. Everything else is already dried like Alfredo powder, milk powder, oats, sugar, spices, etc…..EDIT: I forgot to say TVP is also a great alternative.
A lot of people don't know that you can buy the Desitin packs aka the oxygen absorbers so you can make individually servings, i also have mylar bag material made to go in a FoodSaver machine vacuum sealers, so you can re-portion sizes, or add food bucket items seasonings or maybe some freezdryed meat items for the meals, and or add seals to things you want for certain sizes an so on. We had two different vacuum sealers at the mylar bag material worked in and it was pretty awesome and not very expensive you can get a whole roll of the stuff you seal on one side put your items inside and then seal the other side after placing items in it. That way you can control the portion size. you can add your own little note, it the bucket for the new additions and items with prep instructions, because if you forget to add the proper amount of water, for (the new) addition to your meal, you know what will happen. Anyways awesome video!
Thanks. I bought a couple of these buckets at a nice discount a while back. It was pretty cheap at the time, and I thought it was a great addition to my stock pile. I haven't opened it, so it's good to know it tastes good. Thanks to Angelo for the donation.
Thank you for this my friend. I was planning on purchasing this item from Amazon and didn't know the actual (real picture) of the items inside the bucket.
Dear Iridium242. In my opinion they require real cooking. They are heavy on empty carbohydrates and very low on protein. As a type 1 diabetic you need to take that into account. On another you tube page they crunched the numbers on some of this stuff and they came to the conclusion that if you eat nothing but this brand you will die of malnutrition.
A type 1 diabetic will die in about a week or two without insulin if SHTF and they are unprepared for that contingency verses years in the manner which you describe from ReadyWise which is absolutely absurd. Most people have never eaten C-RATS or MRE's in the field and it shows.
I bought a bunch of those I put my box spring and mattress on top of it it's under my bed it's about 4 ft high !!! I have no idea how good I must have 16 to 20 of them I got them at a real good price cuz I bought them in the year 2000
I'm not sure if that is the company I first ordered from mine was gluten free I put it in storage . I got it before I found your channel with freeze-dried wholesalers, and thrive life. I have totes under the bed in a closet , and in another closet .
Only a few items will be a WOW, the rest is negh. The buckets do stack and shelf nicely. Your better off playing with other stuff and packing your own totes. You will save THOUSANDS compared to these buckets.
There's so much bucket of food out there that you can buy like that they're all thinking food what about water that's going to be up to the individual to find their water source somebody's got to come up with a way to preserve water just like they do the food
