The 15 Most Important Survival Food Kits

Right, survivalists, this item from Wise Company kicks off our list of the best survival food kits money can buy. We especially like the variety of meals in this food survival pack, which includes more than enough food and milk to last two weeks or a single person for a month.

Other packs will contain one or two, which, as you may guess, becomes tedious quickly. Breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, and fruits and vegetables are all available here. In addition, most of these meals only require the addition of water, and you can eat them in under 15 minutes.

When it comes to the food in this product’s shelf life, you may anticipate being able to enjoy freeze-dried meals for at least 25 years. Hopefully, you will never need to use a tool like this, but you will be thankful that you have it if you do.

SPECS

• Number of Servings 104
• Food and milk are both presents.
• 27,000 calories
• 7.5-pound weight

Again from Wise Food, this survival meal kit is designed to sustain one person for five days and includes more than just food and milk. If you want to cover the majority of your necessities in an emergency, this is what you’ll enjoy.

You’ll also get bandages, a survival whistle, a flashlight, an emergency blanket and poncho, a dust mask, a stove, plenty of other handy gear, and a 5-day supply of food and water. You’ll even get a deck of playing cards to keep you entertained for a while.

You’ll get a wide selection of meals, each with a quarter-century shelf life, just like the first product on our list. In the 2050s, if an emergency occurs, this food will still taste as excellent as it does now. It won’t taste as wonderful as a freshly prepared home-cooked meal, but it will suffice in emergencies.

SPECS

• 32 person servings
• Food, water, survival gear, and first-aid kits are all included.

In an emergency, a two-month emergency food kit will be useful. This case of 20 x 9 meal bar packages has them. If you eat three bars every day, you'll obtain the minimum 1,200 calories your body needs.

All the bars taste like coconut, so you may weary of it after a while. Consuming it will offer you energy and determination to search out something better.

This has a 5-year shelf life, so it's not ideal for a long-term emergency food supply. These are also useful for camping, trekking, and other outdoor activities in case of an emergency.

SPECS

• 180 calories per serving
• Food is present.
• 216,000 calories

You can't go wrong with this 3-day box of freeze-dried calorie bars as a survival meal. You'll get three days' worth of water and an emergency blanket if you become cold.

Okay, so 800 calories per day from this pack may not be enough. Still, it will keep you going until help arrives or you can find it. These prices are fair.

Once opened, food and drink will only last a year after being opened. This is a great starter kit for survivalists. This can supplement a food survival kit.

SPECS

• A total of six individuals are served.
• Food and water are included.
• 2,400 calories

Not everyone eats meat, but we're thinking you will if you have no other options. Imagine you're making a survival kit for vegetarians. This Patriot Pantry Black Bean Burger Mix Case Pack is worth considering.

Six neatly wrapped pouches each provide six servings and simply require a cup of water. Simply add water and let it sit for 15 minutes before making patties. After a few minutes on the grill, they're ready.

This combination has a 5-year shelf life, however once opened, it will only last one year if resealed in the bag. It's a great product to add to your emergency food supply, but it will last you over three days if used alone.

SPECS

• 36 person servings
• Food is present.
• 4,320 calories
• 3.4-pound weight

Suppose you’re new to emergency kits and want a starting survival food kit or simply want to replenish an existing survival food supply. In that case, this 3-day emergency food & water pack can be what you need. It also includes a thermal blanket that can help you retain up to 80% of your body heat when worn.

The three-day supply of food and water, which the U.S. Coast Guard has authorized, has a five-year shelf life and will keep hunger and thirst at bay for a few days. The meal comes in one giant slab that may be divided into nine pieces, while the water comes in six packs, implying that two per day should suffice (3 per day).

The food bars are freeze-dried and have a sweet cake flavor, which is attractive but meaningless when your primary goal is survival. This excellent short-term survival food pack would be a perfect introduction to anyone new to survival packs.

SPECS

• Nine total servings
• Food, water, and a blanket are included.
• 3,600 calories

The Nutristore Freeze Dried Ground Beef & Chicken 6-Bundle is another survivalist food kit. Three large cans of beef and chicken, each with two servings, are included.

USDA-inspected freeze-dried meals taste great and last 25 years. In an emergency, there's no time to be picky.

Men would need 15 servings per day to fulfill the daily minimum of 1,800 calories. For women, ten equals 1,200. One order will last a man eight days and a lady thirteen.

The First Aid Global Survival Pack for Disaster Preparedness offers great value. This pack only has 1,200 calories of food and enough water for one day, but everything else is great.

Everything comes in a backpack, so it's easy to grab and go. This bag contains a variety of disaster-relief goods. Masks, goggles, water purification pills, a whistle, a thermal blanket, waterproof matches, and bandages are included. Also, the integrated radio/flashlight is unusual.

These 20-calorie Emergency Food Tablets from S.O.S Food Supply are great for traveling. Each of the ten pouches has four bars that break into 12 chewable pills totaling 40 pills.

Each bar of 12 pills contains 240 calories, therefore you'll need at least three each day to survive. It's enough calories for three days.

We like these strawberry-flavored tablets. Given that some emergency food packets are bland, this is surprising. This bar is gluten-free and non-GMO. A 25-year shelf life makes them a great addition to a survival food supply box.

SPECS

• 40 person servings
• Food Tablets are included.
• 7,200 calories

SOS is back. Like before, they've offered great value for those looking to store emergency supplies. This kit includes 8x9 meal ration bars, 8xenergy bars, 12 pouches of filtered water, and a Jeff Brown survival guidance guide.

Each of the 8, 3,600 9-bar meal packs may sustain a person for three days. The entire box will last 24 days, and that's before you add the 8 x 400 calorie energy bars, which will last another three.

Only the five-year shelf life is a drawback. Still, tragedies can strike at any time, so who's to say it won't happen soon?

circumstances, you’ll find lots to be interested in on that list. We find it incredible that food can last for up to 30 years, much alone taste delicious after so long.

Ideally, even though some of this food is pleasantly surprising in terms of taste, we’d rather not have to consume it in the first place if we had the option. At the very least, if we ever find ourselves in a pinch, we’ll be able to outlast those who relied on 7/11 to stay open during a calamity.
