Why dont uz suppy a list of whats in the packages? Who wants 2 buy “Mystery FOOD” ? at 500. a pop 4 a 3mon. supply I WANT 2 KNOW WHAT I’LL BE EATING!!!!
If you’ll hit that blue information “i” next to each package listing, you’ll get a complete list.
Y’all sound like you think that the world economy is in the hands of a madman, and not that of the Prince of Peace who died for sinners. Y’all need salvation, not stockpiling of food. “Consider the birds of the air…{ said Jesus, in telling people of the first century to put their trust in Him who provides for all of us, rich or poor, Jew or Gentile, whatever our political leanings. Y’all really need to pull your hearts out and give them away to those around you who need a hand up and a warm smile. It’s the Christian Way and it wouldn’t hurt ya’ll to try it. Hugh
I love having a 3 month supply of food. One of my tubs came with the lid broken in 3 places, just wanted you to know. I would highly recommend the product because it is easily transportable and the food sounds great. I know me and mine will have food to eat when it hits the fan and we have to bug out somewhere. Thank you
First of all, I was impressed with the container, how compact the product is. My wife and I both feel more secure in the knowledge that we are definitely more prepared than we were. We haven’t actually tried any of the foods and intend to just take your word for it that they are as good as you have said. We already have recommended Food For Patriots to family members and friends.
Packaging ….rodent proof
More. Secure
Will recommend others need security also
Everything looks good but, I would like to know what the average calorie content of the meal packs are?
What did you like most about this product? The storage life is important as is the nutritional content and the great taste is an added benefit.
How has the product helped you — ie do you feel more secure and prepared now that you have it, etc? I was unaware that a package like this existed.
Would you recommend this product? If so, why? I would recommend this product. I would prefer 3 one month tote boxes instead of the 2 big boxes. Doing that shouldn’t add more than a couple of dollars to the price and the one month size is much more convenient. For a retired couple, it is hard to come by a Thousand Dollars in one whack!
1. Packaged for storage
2. Have had an urge to buy for sometime but did not know what to buy so having selection made was a benefit to me. I hope to never taste the product.
3. I would recommend the product as a great way to have a supply. For two of us this is not nearly enough stofage but I can not afford to buy enough.
iI like the taste, the packaging and longevity. 2. I have a sense of security, if something happened suddenly I would not be rushing to the stores. 3. Yes, I would and have recommended this product.

Just got this today – went through both tubs to check the packages and organize a little. One bag had a small tear, I knew something had opened since I could smell seasonings, and there was a little bit of powder loose in the tub. Not a problem, since I was going to sample at least one of the food items, that’s my sample. I did notice that the multi-tool that was supposed to come with it wasn’t there.
Overall, very, very pleased! Thanks!
My pkg arrived yesterday – I REALLY like the storage container! The variety of choices is also good. I feel like I’ve taken a first step toward being prepared for an emergency situation. Thank You so much for offering good advice. I’ve glanced through the downloaded books and they will be a great source of information.
Just receiver package last night. havent opened yet but am sure i will like and order more as money becomes available.
Thanks
Terry
Just received mine. Was back ordered as allot are. Only problem i have is i think that they need to break them down into 2 packages mine looked like it went thru the end of the world already. Have to set it all out and see if anything was lost one was unlatched. As some one else said in there comments i think that i will try one or two of them atleast the soups seeings how its getting into that season.
I have not used the merchandise yet. Will keep you posted.
PD
I have not received product yet. When I do, am planning on trying some item to see what is like. Dont want to wait years and find out food not edible. If the food is palatable, will be nice thing to have in case comes up.
This will be a good food alternative when and if we have to go in a hurry. Personally I could hole up at home for some time on what I can all year from my acre garden. The advantage of canned food is that you don’t have to have so much water on hand though I would really like to find some sort of storage containers that could be plumbed into a loop on our regular water line so periodically I could set the valves to cycle through the containers to rotate it then back to the regular water line so my storage wouldn’t be contaminated in case of a chemical spill up river or some other event that would polute the city water supply. Any ideas? Jackie Ronco P.S. I loved the nice sturdy container and the amount of food that it contained, made me wonder why I got 72 hour kits for my husband and me, the month storage kit would be all that I needed+water, cooking utensils, fuel, flashlite, etc.
It’s a good place to start for any disaster without breaking the bank! I hope it’s as good as advertised! My order is back logged, I can only assume its a very popular item!
This makes me feel a little more secure knowing that at least I won’t starve if something goes wrong. I’m also stocking my pantry. I like the fact that this should last longer than myself.
I have not tried it yet but like the packaging. It’s good to know it’s there if necessary. Everyone ought to have a stash for an emergancy.
I like the construction of the containers. The listing on the outer side panel of contents. They can be stacked 1 on top of the other. I do feel better knowing I have a years supply of food on hand. Water is next. The quantity for preparing the food is next on my list. I need to see how much each meal will take and what a 2 person kit will need for themselves as well as prepping food. I am trying to make a list for 3 days, 1 month.
Food arrived in relatively good shape. I thought it took to long to arrive. I haven’t tried any of it yet. I think it would be good If you offered a gluten free product.
Hi Frank, before i answer your 3 questions I would like to say thank you so very much for being who you are! It’s people like you that make me think “maybe” this place is worth saving. I have very little faith in most people and to be honest i don’t like most people. But like i said thank God you are who you are!
1) What i liked most was how light and stackable each container is.
2) How has it helped me…I ordered 1 three month box last month and i was so very worried it wasn’t enough ( i would love to get the years supply, but, there is no way i can afford it) i bought another one this month. I know that is all i can afford to buy but, at least i have a small piece of mind knowing i did what i coud afford. (Thank you for that!)
3) Would i recomend this product? Yes, but only to close friends and family. I dont want other people to know i have food.
Again Frank, Thank you for careing enough to do this for us!
I feel safer having a stash of emergency food stored away in what looks to be secure packaging. My husband is a picky eater but will have to get over that when push comes to shove.
I have also increased my stock of kerosene for my lamp collection and have a good supply of wood for the heater stove. As long as the propane for my cook-stove holds up and I have access to water we are in good shape for some time.
I have not made up my mind about this program.
Ordered on the 28 Sept, awaiting my order (10/10/13), however this was an opportunity that i had procrastinated on for some time and decided to act seems like a good deal. I am anxious to receive my order and check out quality for possibly adding to and recommendation to family
Assortment is great and like the convenient, inconspicuous containers. Could just grab and go, if the need arises. Will definitely be ordering more as budget allows. Thank you for making this available to us!
Although I have not tried consuming the products I purchased, I do feel it is a great item to have available.
Hi Frank, I plan to try out one of the meals this week. I appreciate that you labelled each package with all ingredients, but to be honest, I would have purchased more if you had included ingredients in the initial offer that was sent out through the video advertisement. I just didn’t know what was in this stuff and couldn’t just “trust” that it would be ok. Since these meals are for emergencies only, the fact that they have some slightly less than healthy ingredients doesn’t matter as much to me. When there is a crisis I won’t care about hydrolyzed proteins as much as I do every day. (they can be toxic to some people). Also I couldn’t tell if they had MSG because one of the ingredients only says “flavor” which is usually a code word for it, but this isn’t food for our regular living and you needed to package it to last a long, long time. So, overall so far I think they look great but the proof will be in my 4 little taste testers :). Best to you in your business and thanks for trying to make a really good product!
I stowed them right away w/o opening, but am looking forward to using them. They supplement
our other efforts to without stand any disaster. The compact size is great. I will not recommended
them unless someone asks me, as I don’t want to spread the fact that we have FOOD!.
Jeanne
1. I like the individual meal packages with quite a variety to choose from.
2. These items are a good addition to our pantry. I love the convenience of the packages.
3. Yes I would (and already have) recommended these products to others because of the security it gives you and it’s easy to store.
I only had one problem – one of the bags (Cornmeal Dumplings for Chili) has a hole in the corner of the bag where the seam was not sealed all the way down – we lost about half of the contents of the bag during shipping.
I was pleased with the packaging. I have not tasted the product yet, though planning to do so. I do feel better knowing I can provide short term for my family. I have attempted to recommend to others I know, most feel I am over reacting.
I just received it today. Everything looks fine.
My only question is how can I prepare the food calling for boiling water if I do not have any electric power to run my stove. I know I need to store water. Can water be stored several months after expiration date on it and still be good for consumption?
Thank you,
Jane
I like the storage containers and how they store a lot in a confined space. Have not tried the food but expect it to be top notch. I feel more prepared than when I first started seeing the signs of when SHTF. I would definitely recommend your product to others.
1. Packaging and Labeling
2. I Feel more prepared
3. Yes because I have compared with other products for the same purpose. This is the winner!
Hi Frank: I haven’t rec’d my food kit yet but my plan is to keep it as an emergency food supply so mainly right now its the peace of mind knowing I’ve done something to prepare. I will recommend your product because its seems like good quality, ie GMO free, pesticide free and locally sourced and hopefully tastes good :) My only suggestion is that we try to eat all organic so an organic option would be nice.
Thank you for all you do.
Yvonne
I now have peace of mind. I have gotten a one year supply of MRE. I have not tried any of them yet. Since, I want to have in case of an emergency. I wish we had more of a choice to pick from.
I only eat sweet potates not white potatoes. I do not eat pasta or alot of grains anymore. Would of like more vegetables and fruit. Canned vegetables have too much sodium. Any suggestions in the vegetables to get? Once I start the garden next year, I will get into canning vegetables. Thank you for the choice to do something to prepare for future emergencies. Peace
Don’t know, haven’t got it yet. Of course we’ve been snowed in with no mail for four days. Lots of people with no power. I was only one in my area with generator, I had power water food. HAve friends who have been without all of that for four days now. I could have rode it out for weeks. Looking forward to receiving package. Here’s to your survival!
I like most that how convenient it is packed, the variety,and the comfort in any emergency I will be ready. THANKS so much RICH !!! Have a great day.
What did you like most about this product?
How has the product helped you — ie do you feel more secure and prepared now that you have it, etc?
Would you recommend this product? If so, why?
1. Good tasting food for the long run.
2. We feel more secure with the addition of this to our other stock.
3. Yes I do recommend this to most of my friends.
Very compact, it’s my very first attempt at being prepared and if anything it shows that I need to do much more. I would recommend to others, everyone should be thinking along these lines…
I feel better knowing that i have some food that will not go bad and will be there if the s___hits the fan!
I have tried some of it and it is tasty and we like it.
I like the container it is packed in.
It is easy to prepare.
Mary Lou
Dear Frank,
I got my supply of food and the tomatoe seeds that I ordered. Just want to say it will stay in the box until we need it. I think the food is better then the case of chili I was going to stash in case of emergency. Water is another thing we need to store. Watch dates and rotate. I just want to be prepared for anything. It is better to be prepared then to have nothing when you need it most.
Thank you, Wendy
p.s. I like the water book also thank you.
It is better to have some on hand in case of bad weather or sickness and not being to get to a store.
I have not tried out the product it went into my survival supplies for future use.
Thanks.
The reason I purchased your product was the whole food ingredients, and the 25 year shelf life. I will feel more secure when I receive my product. Being prepared is way better than being stuck in a catastrophe with nothing. I would recommend this product to family and friends, because of the quality, shelf life, and price.
1. It was packed for storage
2. It is light and easy to carry.
3. I would recommend it, however It doesn’t have any meat in it. I need to order some prepared packaged meat products. I haven’t tried any yet, I plan on in a few weeks. I appreciate the emails on the survival tips, it helps us get better prepared.
Thanks for all of the info.
W. Landry
The packaging is great, love the secure, small bins.
The variety is wonderful – something for everyone.
This is a solid foundation to start your food supply.
The shipping was fast and I would highly recommend
this product to others – I will be back for more!!
Hi ,
I purchased a small supply of your meals. I did not find a list of ingredients. Can you send that to me. I like to be aware of what I am putting into my body.
Thanks,
Tom Thayer
On your products, I would like to choose the meal packs. Just tried the Lumberjack Veg. Beef Stew. Not bad tasting, can’t wait to try the other meals, on a cold day.
I am acquiring Heirloom seeds to keep away from GMO’s.
I am gathering them one pkg at a time and yes, I feel better having them
Yes, I reccomend them.
I like the packaging and the storage containers.
I feel better equipped to cope with an emergency and plan to add other items as needed.
I would recommend this product to others.
Just for the safety factor it gives me a warm fuzzy to have the supply set aside. If in 24 years or so, and I have not needed to eat them I will crack open a few and try them out just for the heck of it.
The fact that they are very stackable is very convienent and take up less space in the pantry.
I would not hessitate to recommend them. If you have some extra $$$ just store them away. Just do not let the gov have my address.
Purchased the 72 hour kit and received the Free pack. Tried one of the envelopes and stored the rest for the future. The item tried was acceptable, but probably will not purchase any more as I prefer to be able to choose the items rather than depend on your selections. I also would prefer to be able to select a different quantity than what your selections provide as money becomes available.
1. what I liked most about the product was the taste. 2.I feel better having it if I get in a situation where there are more than 2 people here. It makes quite a bit. 3.Yes I would recommend it because it tastes good and is easy to fix and it stores well.
Enjoyed the Potato soup, but have not tried anything else. Saving it for future food reserves. Like the plastic case to hold the food.
Your site came by way of Chris Peterson’s site. I have not received my shipment yet but, based on your excellent presentation, I’m sure it is a quality product.
I have not received the package yet. I don’t know when it has shipped out of your location. But I’m waiting and watching for it, so it doesn’t end up in the wrong hands. I have next door neighbors who steal and rob people for there drug habit, and have been hit by them a few times. This last go around was a good score for them since I was trying to build my wind power generator and they took the batteries that I have bought. I have been buying parts slowing to what I can afford since I’m living on a tight budget and money is tight. But when I got robbed by them it hurt a lot, thankfully I didn’t leave my power 4 patriots booklet in the garage I kept that in the house. It just sucks that I have to start over, but I also haven’t been able to find an Ametek motor that is reasonable priced. Or is that the going price of $200.00. If you have any suggestions or links to where I can find them cheaper I would appreciate it you can lead me in that direction. Thanks for readings this.
I love that the food came in such great containers and that the food will last 25 years. I am saving it for a real emergency and am glad that I do not have to keep switching the food out every so often. I have forgotten to do that in the past and had to throw out stuff and that makes it a waste of money. I will need to order more in the future because I have a large family that I want to be prepared for in an emergency—so please let us know when we will be able to get a great deal on this food. It would be great to have a package that is for a larger family for a three month supply. Thanks for making it easy to have and store food for my family.
We plan on using our food supply as a supplement to what we already have stored. We enjoy the variety, the compact size, ease of preparation, and the cost—make this system a very good value.
Thanks,
Rick
We live in Miami, here is the always a possibility that another hurricane can hit the city, I survived here the Andrew, and I know how difficult the life can be, where is no electricity, o communication.
For me it would have to be the shelf life. It’s good to know it will be still good when, not if it is needed. I deffinatly feel good having it on hand. I will buy more when the wallet let’s me. I would recomend this product to anyone smart anough to know they will need it. Great job guys.
Ease of storage, shelf life
More able to face disasters
Already have recommended to friends
Good foundation to build food storage on.
I have not tried the product as I got it for a disaster, which we might be having due to the government shut down. I will be glad I got it if and when needed.
It does give me a good feeling that I won’t starve to death for a while at least. I believe everyone should prepare but I believe few do. I will probably end up feeding lots of neighbors and friends.
I love the small easy to stash packaging and I have already recommended to one friend I trust. Wish you had a layaway plan so I could get the big package. Maybe I can come up with it’s before too long. Thanks for cluing me in. Thanks, Miriam Milton.
I like the small packaging, easy to stash. I wish I could get the larger package, but, I lost my job 2 years ago right after getting custody of my grand baby. Not working those long hours was a very welcome change.thought I be able to get back to working somewhere, but, obamacare change that possibility, for the moment, anyway. Our income us too small now. Wish you had a layaway plan. Hoping there’s time for me to pinch back enough money to get the bigger package before it’s too late. Keep on trucking. Thanks, Miriam Milton.
Have not yet received my order, will be sometime this week. I don’t think I was sent a ‘tracking number’ and believe shipment will be via UPS.
I am looking forward to having some food available that will keep for a number of years. Praying that we don’t just ‘store’ food for ourselves. I know that we need to help others eat during these present years of job loss, etc, etc. I also realize that many expect a ‘hand out’. My Uncle always said ‘I would rather be on the ‘giving’ end than on the ‘receiving’ end in those situations.’ He actually worked until he was 90. He did not have to work, just liked to be out and about and around people. Kept his mind sharp and his body active.
1.What did you like most about this product?
Quaility and quantity of food at a more afordable price than all the other food storage providers.
2.How has the product helped you — ie do you feel more secure and prepared now that you have it, etc?
I feel way more prepared and secure with this food in case of emergency. The air tight containers provide an extra protection from the elements as well.
3.Would you recommend this product? If so, why?
Ive already recommended this product this many people i know. I recommended this to my close friends and family that see what is happening in the country regarding the fiscal issues big Government take overs and the damage the Obama administration is doing to us. Those that listen and see what is happening understand that food storage will become one of, if not THE most imporatant challenges of survival.
I like the container, which can be easily disguised as clothing or stuff like that, fits under my bed. I now am ready for any short-term disaster as far as food and water go. The packaging is very good, bright colorful with easy to read directions, has a good variety of food. I really would recommend it to others as I explained above, for the convenience, value, and ability to store.
I have only received one box of food. We feel more secure having it, especially since we live in tornado country. I have no idea what might happen, but I know we were without electricity for 8 days, 3 years ago, so I am glad to have food to prepare. We have just tried the potato soup, but this winter, will try others.
I ordered the 72 hr supply of food just incase we had to get out quick. I like the fact that it has a long shelf lifeand that it is light weight! I live in rural Indiana so we don’t get many types of disasters here, maybe a tornado or a flood. In either case they come on quick! I feel better knowing that I have the ability to feed my wife and myself for almost a week if need be. I have recommended this product to some of my friends. I feel that it is a good product and that it is reasonably priced. I would purchase more if I wasn’t off work for work for such a long time!
I looked inside the containers and am satisfied with the contents. I REALLY LOVE the containers They stack nicely and don’t look like they are holding food.
I like the product. Easy to use, compact.
Feel secure when food run could happen.
Yes, would recommend product to others.
1. I like the packaging. Small and convenient. Easy to store.
2. This product makes it easier to have more than just Ramen noodles and energy bars in by emergency bag.
3. I would recommend this product for the convenience. The price is great for people on a budget for supplementing their emergency supplies.
Thank you so much for offering small, convenient emergency food.
Peace of mind knowing you have food for up to 25 yrs.
Packaging good.
Yes, wife & I feel more secure. The 90 day supply gives us better preparation in case of emergency.
Haven’t tried the meals – we are saving them as the basis of our emergencyy supply. The containers the food came in made it easier than I expected to safely store the 90 day supply. These dry packets augment other bottled and canned food we have already set aside, but those items need to be rotated/used periodically.
I am very pleased with my purchase.
John
I haven’t opened anything inside the shipping box, since it’s for emergency use. But there are several things I like about this product. The 3 month supply arrived in 2 very sturdy, plastic containers. I love how long it’s guaranteed to last, the quality, taste/likeability and variety of the food supply. The pictures and comments in the marketing video make it hard to resist opening to try a few! I like how much I’m getting for the money, the honest email communications about invoicing and shipping and follow up emailed information I’ve received. I do feel more secure and prepared and have already recommended this to family and close friends.
The product is very compact way to store food, which was great for me, I don’t have allot of space.
I was taught by my grandparents to always have somethings stashed away for a rainy day, one never knows what to come, so when i seen your add in my mailbox, it was just perfect timing.
I would recommend this product to someone, because one has everything one need, just in case and it looks really yummy.The 3 month supply is also reasonably priced specially in today’s economy. Thanks again for looking out for us all it is much appreciated .
I’m feeling more secure since obtaining my food package. Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit under my bed, or the bed in the Guest Bedroom.
I like the portability, ease of storage, product longevity, and the taste is bad either. A great way to start a build a strong and taste emergency food storage. This is the best way to go. The pricing is good to. The old addige about you get what you pay for….with this system you get far more and better that expected what you pay for.
1. What I liked most about the product–it tasted very good and did not have a lot of chemicals in it. Easy to store.
2. The product has made me feel good that there is a well balanced food in one package. It only needs water to be added to it. I still have 3 packages saved from the 4 I ordered. It was a test to see how I would like it. I plan to get more as soon as I can afford it.
3. Yes I definitely will recommend it to my friends and family.
I think the idea is great. I have not tried the product. Only have it on hand for an emergency. Plan to add to my emergency set up (i.e. water, grains etc.)
I like that it’s helping vets.
Thanks.
Seems a well packaged deal. Haven’t tried any of the meals or foods but am hoping for the best if I need it.
Small sample packs may be a good Idea.
Like the storage life and storable size.
Thank you for the great deal. I love the storage containers the pouches are packed in. The 25 yr shelf life is a plus and the food looks like is is chock full of healthy ingredients. I haven’t triied anything yet as it only arrived yesterday. By the way my wife and children think I am nuts but it gives me peace of mind. I am currently filling the bottom of my chest freezer with water in the appropriate jugs and am waiting for a good deal on a 330 gal plastic water tank. Also looking for some land with a stiff stream and a couple of wells. Then let the SHTF. I will be ready! LOL
Bought 2 tubs packet. Have tried and like what I have. Only need lables on packages to show up better. Could hardly read some of them even with my glasses. Taste very good. Have recomended to my prepper friends. Would like to buy more but on fixed retirement income.
The containers are nice. Not to big and the lids lock securely. All I did was make sure I got what I ordered. I have not tried any of the meals. I feel more prepared because of your product. I would recommend it to others. Until I really use your product in an emergency situation. I will not be able to give you good/bad feedback.
Dear Frank Bates,
I still haven’t received it. However if the containers are as small as they look next to that water bottle, I don’t see how it could contain the # of servings it said it does for the 3 months supply. From appearance I would need to be receiving like 12 containers for $500. My concern is that each serving is so very small. I would expect a serving like you see in the camping section at WalMart. Hopefully, when I receive my containers I will be pleased. Had you put a water bottle next to the containers on your advertisement … I may not have purchased it. One of my own boxes I packed a little larger than this container, has soups and dried potaoes and rice for 6 days for 4 people and cost about $30. I will be comparing value, size and portability and quality to that. However, your amazing product has a 25 year shelf life!!!! Thanks. Hope it gets here soon. DEbbie Lara
I like the ease of storage . This is just adding to my supply already started over a year ago . I would definetly recomend to any one to have the security & indepenence of having your own food on hand .
I ordered and received the 72 hour survival kit within a few days of processing payment. It was an unmarked package as promised. I haven’t had the time to try it yet, but I will because if it is good, I am definitely ordering more. My family saw the packaging and looked interested too.
I bought all the power books for my son in law last Father’s Day and he is a prepper, so that was a delight. I don’t have alot of spare money…single, so I am limited as to what I can spend, but I plan on buying more product in the near future.
I purchased this to have food for myself & my family in the event of a catastrophic event. I have not opened or tried any of the food – defeats the purpose of having it!
This opportunity has been very much appreciated. It has given me greater security and peace of mind knowing I can provide for my loved ones during an unexpected crisis. The products came well packaged in a secure container with a surprising amount of variety. Everyone should take advantage of this opportunity. Thanks again!
1. Liked it store ability
2. Haven’t eaten any yet….it
For emergency only at this time.
3. It has gotten me started. Far
From being where I need to be
4. I am on VA and social security fixed income and the cost of your food was great. But it still limits my ability to purchase more.
5. Yes, I would recommend to others
On a fixed budget….what would you REALLY recommend to back up power on my home. Due to arthritis and neuropathy, I am not very flexible with tools anymore. My wife has started canning again….but she works to help. So it limits the time for her.
Aw enough of my whining.
Gary
Yes, I feel more secure with having made some preparations in case something go wrong.
Haven’t tried the meals and hope to save them for the next 25 years without need to use.
Really surprised at the compact size and how easy they are stored in the containers.
Have 90 day supply and recommend for all to have this minimal amount. Our recent floods in Colorado with cities cut off from the world demonstrate the need for this product.
I feel that it is imperative to have a food supply incase of a major food crisis. I live in Long Island NY I wish I would’ve had your product for hurricane Sandy that would’ve helped alot for those 2 weeks without electricity but I didn’t find out till after gotta say better late than never though everyone should be prepared !
We are in receipt of the 72hr packets. We haven’t tried them – as they are for emergency use. We plan on obtaining a packet or two each month in order to complete possibly a year supply for my wife and me.
I liked this arrangement of food as the food doesn’t require water to “bring them to life”. This allows our supply of water to used for other things, if nothing else but for drinking.
Our church has for years encouraged its members to have a food storage on hand for emergencies and times of desperate need – and during the years we’ve followed that guidance. However, previous food storage was with the use of MRE’s. As a retired soldier I can attest that that wasn’t always the best tasting say nothing about shelf storage.
Our daughter has decided to use regular groceries from the store but that requires rotating of the food. With your food we don’t have to worry about that.
Sincerely,

I was glad to be able to find the meal offer. And the nutrition value
Thank You!
1. What did you like most about this product?
– I have not received the product yet but in reading about it I like that it has a 25 year shelf life and nutritious for the family.
2. How has the product helped you — ie do you feel more secure and prepared now that you have it, etc?
– Once I get the product I will feel more safe and may purchase more in the future.
3. Would you recommend this product? If so, why?
– I would recommend this because of the planning purposes of survival. You never quite know and I would rather be called a nut-job than unprepared.
1.What did you like most about this product?
A=The High-Quality Ingredients; Which Includes NO Pork-Products (,,,that I’ve discovered So-Far),,, as My Family Keeps Kosher. *And Mostly Vegetarian.
2.How has the product helped you — ie do you feel more secure and prepared now that you have it, etc?
A=I Do Feel More Secure,,, & the 25-Year Shelf-Life is a Must-Plus!; -also I intend to order more & more Paks, here & there, as I’m a Disabled Veteran, on a “So-Called” Fixed-Income,,, so I’ll have to be about it, in a smaller-long-haul type of planning-program,,,
3.Would you recommend this product? If so, why?
A=Yes I would,,, but as a “New-Comer”, to the Program, my ‘initial-impression’ was that Frank wanted me to keep this ‘covert-info’ to myself,,, #1-To Protect Me!, & #2-To Not Overwhelm Him. *But if it’s OK, I’d Love to tell some of my Friends/Family,,, -and Direct them into the ‘Program’, as well,,, (?).
Thank You Frank~
Package came…nice looking package(s). We haven’t used it…put it into the storage room.
Like the carry case the packets arrived in…easy to handle.
We will have to order more at a later date.
Great product. I wish I had more in storage.
My food package arrived promptly. I was pleasantly surprised how compact the package was – easy for storage. I have not tasted any of the food yet.
I will admit that I was turned off by some of your video. Why do you assume that people who receive Food Stamps are lazy good-for-nothings, looking for a hand-out? Are you not aware that the majority of people who earn minimum wage are adults, many with families to feed? You can’t support a family on minimum wage, or even twice minimum.
I work three jobs, and my husband works two. We received Food Stamps for about a year, when my husband could only find a little part-time work, and I was working two jobs and going back to school yet again. Was I ashamed to receive Food Stamps? Yes – I didn’t shop at my regular grocery store, because I didn’t want anyone to know. Did I take the help that was offerred? Yes, with gratitude. My daughter was able to grow, instead of be dumb and stunted from nutritional deficiences. Food assistance enabled us to cover other basic necessities, like transportation to work, electricity, and water. I have never been lazy, and I found your video insulting and simplistic, if not downright ignorant. You certainly lacked any Christian (or any other kind of) compassion for the poor.
Perhaps you do not realize that the bottom 90% of Americans live on 10% of this country’s wealth. This income disparity is increasing, and it all started when Reagan did his best to break the backs of the unions, and the working people in them. The earning power of our wages have steadily declined over the last 30 years, and 95% of the wealth gained in this supposed recovery has gone to the top 1%. Good paying middle class jobs with benefits have been replaced by part-time low paying jobs without. My husband and I both work, yet like 50 million other Americans we have no health insurance. What this country really needs is Universal Single Payer Care, but I’ll settle for the Affordable Health Care Act for now. Of course, some House Republicans and their Tea Party supporters are so offended that a half-black man was elected president twice, that they’re quite happy to create all the havoc and misery that a government shutdown brings, and they don’t give a damn that and estimated 46,000 Americansr die each year from the lack of affordable health care. Oh, and I’m a tenth generation American, whose direct ancestor was a captain in Revolutionary Army…. “Conservatives” have no claim to patriotism over “Liberals”.
I liked the mylor bag packaging placed in a grab and go container.
But I purchased it because of the variety of food. and the price. . . and yes, I do feel more prepared.
I have celiac disease and cannot eat any of the food. but in a crisis situation, I have family members and friends that will use this food.
thanks for doing this. it is a great service.

I have not tried the product, I was impressed with the time it arrived & the packaging. I myself have hid it for emergency purposes & thank Everyone for the knowledge I have learned. God bless America & May God Bless you.
Love your product
SORRY,I HAVEN’T MADE IT HOME,SINCE SHIPMENT ARRIVED,SHOULD BE HOME IN COUPLE MORE WEEKS,WILL EVALUATE IT THEN AND REPLY BACK.
1. Long shelf life.
2. Hasn’t helped. Wanted to see what pack consisted of. Husband is going to starve if SHTF and we had to eat this, he hates cooked vegies. Sucks to be him!
3. Yes. Long storage life. Good to have something easy to prepare.
It seems alot of survival info and supplies are centered around city people. So I find it hard to connect with most articles.
Compact, easy to store on a shelf, looks easy to prepare.
I recieved the two 72 hour food packages today. I will get more familiar with the product in the next couple of days. I am not opening any food packets at this time. I still need to assemble my Bug-Out Bags(2). All of the e-mails you have sent are very interesting and eye opening. I have saved most of them for future references. I have become more concerned about my safety. In September a gang of thugs did a lot of criminal activity in my sleepy little town; broke into homes,stole items, stole cars and did other damages. A full week the plundered. My PEACE MAKER is ready, when I’m home. George
My wife and I are in our 60s, we see things coming to a head here in the near future, food shortages, terrorist attacks, and of course our gov. failing. We start seeing it coming , but we didn’t have the money to really setup for it.I wish I would have bought guns and ammo, set up a safe retreat, been an all out prepper I guess you could say.I’m retired military, 22 yrs service, started out in marines and after Nam, joined the navy.I’ve bought a bucket of the same your selling from another company–15 days -$64–If we had the money–we’d find us a place near Townsend or over in Morgan Co. Don’t see that happening–so Ive got some black powder guns, crossbows and working on buying more ammo and food stuff. The only problem with the food supplies we have to have cash, nobody takes payments on that kind of stuff. We read survivor books and know living here In Knoxville or north Knox we wont last long. So we do what we can , when we can. Would love to be able to buy more food and something you may want to offer is water purifying tablets. I see your in the solar business, I put up a small wind turbine and made 6 solar panels, really need at least a kilowatt panels to do any good. Keep up the good work–friend in the cause — Thanks
My knees and hips need replacing. I got a 72 hr. worth of food.I am hoping that you have the bigger food kits once I get fixed up. all I have to say is thanks. My family and I will be ordering more A.S.A.P
I do not have a microphone.
I am please with the products I have purchase. My wife and I are beginners and since we lived in Florida, our purchase will come in handy if we have a strong enough hurricane to take out the electric.
I like the packaging for the food items. I also like the container the food and seeds were shipped in. I would like to buy more but don’t have the funds to do all I’d like to do and my husband is not as concerned in preparation as I am. I plan to purchase more as I can afford. I also stock up on other items but am impressed with the 25 year shelf life of your products. Just wondering how to hide my supplies. Should I dig holes and cover them back with soil and grass? Don’t want the gov. getting my supplies!!!
I was way ahead of you as far as rations just in case… However at that price and the amount of months I just could not pass it up. So now I can mix the soups with the rations I already have; freeze dried of course. I like the other stuff to. And believe me you DO NOT want to eat FEMA food, it is terrible.
HURA
1. Stores easy and packed and ready for eating.
2.Not more secure as it takes a lot more than we can afford to purchase now but it helps to start.
3. Yes I do recommend this item.
I personally feel it is going to be a tool to help survive for a long time . Maybe 5 to 10 years.
A year will help get you to a point to where you can survive with seeds etc.
Nice to know there are others who see things unraveling. I see no good outcome to this.
Thanks art and nancy.
I was very impressed with the packaging of the product, I feel that the food will stay well preserved for a very long time. I had not tried any of the food yet but I’m excited to try these products. I know that this amount of food would only last for a short period of time however this is most likely more food they the average americain has on hand. So with that being said it gives me at least some sort of peace of mind knowing that I have at least a short term supply of food and water. Thanks for what you do.
I like the warm “fuzzy” feeling that I have knowing that at least I’ll be covered for about 8 weeks. Haven’t received any of the meals, yet, but am sure they will be just fine. I have already recommended the food4pariots to my friends…..
Pretty much agree with all previous comments.
Keep up the good work.
Just got is today. The kit is good, but found food packet 2 years old. Will spend more time looking it over. Thanks
David Greathouse
Great product, wish I had more in my storage. Everybody needs to have as much as they can store.
I am pleased with your product and feel better prepared for the uncertain future.
I love my 72 hr supply, it is the beginning of my supply…thanks getting my survival bag filled up as we speak!
The shipment just arrived this afternoon. I haven’t had it long enough to study it, although the selections look good.
The containers are very nice.
I have not tried the food, It was purchased for emergencies. One of the boxes was damaged, broken in transit. Lets hope it tastes good & the need to use it does not occur !
kind of a security blanket i guess didn’t really have the money took it out of food budget well get by ok dont’ know if its good or not yet time will tell have a problem with some of your download stuff a lot of rehash just put in a little different context don’t like it when i think i’m getting something new
I received my package with the MRE meals for 72 hrs, the heirloom tomatoe seeds and the seed vault, I do feel more secure having atleast the start to my preparations. I wish I was financially able to purchase more to ensure that I had enough for my immediate family however I am the sheepdog and they are the sheep. They don’t say they think I’m crazy, but don’t embrace the need for preparing as I do. I was a VA nurse however I was attacked by a patient in 2010 and it broke my neck, my back and did other damage to my upper back and shoulder hence I am on a very limited income at this time. I appreciate the emails and updates though much of the information is repetitive.
I appreciate all the work you and your company is doing.
Marilyn
Using it as part of my hurricane prep., haven’t eaten any yet
I like the fact that is good for 25 years so I feel prepared. I will definitely tell my friends about your product.
Sorry, my computer is not equipped with a microphone. However, to answer your question. I ordered the food for my family. I don’t worry so much about myself but about my children and grandchildren. Yes, I am happy to have the food and I would have ordered more except for the fact I have a freezer full of frozen food and a pantry full of canned food. We are probably in better shape than the majority of people living around us.
Stay safe and God Bless.
Mavis
Just received today. 3 month kit. Containers and packaging are well done. My wife had been wanting me to get some emergency supplies for some time and this was a surprise for her, got a big kiss for it, so yes we do feel better now. Still a little more to do, but on our way. Yes I can recommend.
The life expectancy of your product is what attracted me. Now that my first order has arrived, I like the fact that the package, once I moved the label to the inside of the lid, doesn’t scream “food storage” to unwelcome/prying eyes. I had been concerned about stocking up with foodstuffs that wouldn’t last more than two to four years. This cuts down on bulk greatly, too. The only thing that would prevent me from recommending this to a friend would be that I don’t want my “friends” to know I have it! My hope is that we never need to worry about surviving through hard times, but it certainly isn’t looking good for the USA or the world right now.
I actually sent an e-mail on this very same topic a few weeks ago urging you to make your product more affordable. A six-month supply for one person cost me $900. But Sam’s offers a one-year supply for 4 people for under $3000 ($2500 w/$500 off coupon) – making your product 2-3 times as expensive! As a high-school teacher with 7 children, I must stretch my dollars. PLEASE HELP!
Hard to tell. I haven’t received my 3 DAY supply as ordered. A mix up ocurred and my order was read as 3 Month
We think this is a very good assortment for long-term storage and piece of mind with having it.
Hey Frank,
Great products! Very compact; therefore very easy to store. Much more prepared, therefore feel more secure. Definitely recommend to others.
The food doesn’t take up to much room. Its a easy website to check out
Thing I may not have thought about. In florida we have hurricanes.
Sometimes we have to grill all food in freezer at one time.
Yes I believe times will get harder.
I’m ta lking to my friends about, also my family members.
Its always good to here new ideas.
Thanks
1. I like the compactness of the packages. 2. I feel more secure having my food. 3. I would recommend this product because of your indication of its quality and the price.
SUGGESTION: My husband, is sensitive to GLUTEN as are millions of people. Could you develop food preparedness packages for him & them?
Thanks.
1.Sorry, but I haven’t opened it 2. Yes, I feel more secure now that I have it. 3 And yes I would recommend this product since it brings a sense of security to the owner.
We are pleased with the fast & efficient delivery of the Food Pack.
We feel much better now that we are learning from your brochures different procedures for being prepared. We are recommending it to others.
I received my food a few days ago. So far I have tried 4 different ones and they were all very tasty.
I will be trying others often. Container was very conient also. I will keep watching your site and will probably order more food when I can. Thanks
It doesn’t seem like there is enough food in there to cover what you say it covers. Perhaps you could include sheet to let us know how these make 4 weeks worth of food. But by the same token, I’m glad I have them.
I really like the tubs that the packages are stored in, it makes it easier to identify what it contains. I have told some of my family members about it and they are starting to prepare themselves.
I feel more secure in the knowledge that I am going to be able to take care of myself for awhile when things get bad.
I plan on getting more after The first of the year as I have hit the donut hole.
Haven’t received yet. Received a sample of potato soup. Easy to prepare and better than ours. Know we are going to be very satisfied.
Thank you
Dear Frank
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and George Sheperd for all the info and trying to get all informed . I am trying to get things together with others that are like minded but don’t where to start or who to trust with the valueable info we have. do you have any suggestions?
I like that meals are complete; i.e., I don’t have to combine several dehydrated foods in order to have a stew, for instance. I also like the packaging as it seems to be very tough. I like the container boxes too – very useful and tough. I haven’t eaten any of the foods yet but will this winter.
Quality and product are what I was looking for. I hope to place another order soon.
I like these small more affordable packages. Ifeel more secure knowing I have them.I would recommend them. Thanks for supply them.Let me know when more are available.Lester Dacus
1. Most liked? Hard to name one thing. a. A small package for 72 hour survival; b. Selection of items in package; c. Price; d. Shelf life.
2. How has it helped? Certainly makes me feel more secure & adds to my survival ‘stuff’. Hope I never have to use it for survival. Gives me more stuff I can share if necessary.
3. Would I recommend it? Yes. For all the above reasons, plus how quickly my order was handled.
I have ordered three 30 day packs. the first was not what I expected, I was a little disappointed in the varity. I am waiting on my next two shipments to make up my mind . As a prior service member anything is better than nothing . I have received a lot of good things from you frank and I hope that it continues. if I was not in line with our common goal things would be different.
The granola is over weighted for meal allocations; and the granola by itself is inadequate to count as a meal.To provide a proper diet balance, I added fruits and vegetables from a different food supplier. I would like to know if the shelf life assumes a certain storage temperature; and the shelf life if stored at higher or lower temperatures.
The compact stackable packaging is well thought out. This adds a good dimension to other supplies.I wouild recommend with the caveat these supplies are not a complete food storage preparation.
Yours is the easiest and most simple way to obtain and store emergency rations. I hope you make a fortune from offering this service…Frank
I ordered your emergency meals when I saw them on the Blaze TV. I have not opened them, but I assume they will be very tasty. I have emergency meals because I live in Kansas and want to be ready incase of ice storms, winds or tornado. (I am in great denial about our country falling apart.)
I really was excited to see that the meals came in the secured tote. Easier storage.
I don’t talk about my prepping because so many of my friends pay no attention to the current situations in our country and world and it drives me crazy. My friend and I are trying to Be Prepared. We were both Girl Scouts back in the day!!
I am hoping that the Christian Rapture will come about before I need my meals. They will be a nice find for those Left Behind!! HA
Me again. I decided my comment about affordability was a poor choice of words. There was a lot of value for the price. What I meant was as I gather up things to prepare, I’m spending money, well, more than I intended and yet, spending is the only way to be prepared. I purchased what I could at the time. So it was barely affordable for me vs barely affordable for another. If I had more, I would have purchased more. Sorry if my initial comments came across differently. After all, I would recommend it to others and will expand my stash when I can. Thanks!
1 the discrete shipment i cant say anything about the quality of the food im saving it for when i need it
2 i feel that i have a bit of help having it i wish i could buy more
3 yes but you said not to tell
Q1: What did you like most about this product? => (1) The shelf life (25 years), (2) Great storage container that is easy to store & looks durable to protect the products until needed, (3) Great mobile container that will be easy to toss into a car if we need to grab & go, (4) Great re-usable container once we have used the products. (5) Minimized space constraints as in a lot of food in a small amount of storage space.
Q2: How has the product helped you — ie do you feel more secure and prepared now that you have it, etc? => Have not used it yet, but I feel more prepared for an emergency.
Q3: Would you recommend this product? If so, why? => Yes, for all of the reasons above! and because it was (barely and yet) affordable to purchase.
Suggestion: The only thing I didn’t like was the size of the servings as in minimum of 4. If there is only 2 of you OR if you wanted to serve more smaller variety to 4, you can’t OR if you do, you have figure out in an emergency situation how to store the made products until the next day or time eaten. One idea is use the same packaging but have a mid-seal running down the middle of the packaging that separates the package into 2 parts. People could use the whole (serves 4) package or open only one end and use half (serves 2). Same concept for the single package that serves 8. In an emergency situation, knowing you could save the other half for another meal would be a valuable option. Running a seal at the midpoint would not drive the cost of the product up much vs having smaller packaging and more pieces for both you, the seller, and the buyer to manage – which is not an attractive option for either. Hope you like my idea. Feel free to contact me to ask more questions. (FYI, in life I’m a product designer. Can you tell? LOL.)
Lastly, I agree with a previous comment. Thank you for making this available to the public. Much appreciated.
Hi Frank,
Yes, we are very pleased with your products. Although we garden and preserve quite a bit of food, having this supply makes us feel much more secure. I especially like the container and ease of storage. Thank you for all your good work in helping others get prepared for the hard times that I’m afraid are coming.
The content is wonderful, and the packaging is wonderful. Receiving the containers helps to organize and carry the food in a convenient and durable container. This solution adds to an established strategy and provides a portable option if circumstances require it.
Hi Frank!
Tes I like the product. However, You should include a more rounded set of foods. Things such as breakfast meals, and some sort of fruit. All I got was dinner type items like beans, and beans.
In a pinch though, I would be likely to not be a picky eater.
Yes I would recommend it to others, and already have. I feel a little more secure, but could always do with a little more stocked items.
Ted
Frank, I like the 3 month food supply I bought from you and I intend to buy more once funds are available. The long shelf life is worry free and no matter when s**t hits the fan, the food pack will be ready to serve up. This is much easier than rotating out can food items with shorter shelf life.
I have passed on your web site to family members so they can begin to prepare for future events.
Just ordered our food supplies a few days ago!
Have not yet received anything.
Once it is received we will try it; compare it to the other foods we’ve received (some from Mountain House, some from Rainy Day Foods, and . . . well, others); see which ones we llike, or don’t like; and make our future orders accordingly.
Thank you for your inquiry.
I think it was a little too expensive,but now that I have it,it’s one less thing I need to be prepared
Actually not very happy with the food. I’ve tried 3 or 4 of the products and just don’t care for the taste. Also for some reason I thought I was getting 3 tubs and only received 2. The seeds look great and I will hold on to them for the future.
Debby freeman.
I have four of your three month packages. There are two of us here now, so we are covered with 6 Months plus canned goods. The price is good, and the “totes” lend themselves nicely to under the bed storage. I would definitely recommend them to anyone
I I also have your Power For Patriots program but I think I am now too infirm to assemble it.
Keep it up,friend. You’re doing good!
Rick
I like the tubs and their size and stackability!
Yes I feel more prepared!
Yes, I have already recommended them!!!
I have not recieved my order yet however i feel this will help me be prepared for the future. I will let u know when i check it out. thank you
I was surprised at the small size, but every thing fits , add a knife & water straw filter & .
Thank you for your response , I’m happy with the supply. I do read your efforts, and approach,
Keep up the good work.
SO FAR,THE PRODUCTS THAT I HAVE RECEIVED WERE WORTH THE INVESTMENT EVEN THOUGH I’M ON A FIXED INCOME.SINCE I’VE RECEIVED MY PURCHASES,I HAVE FOUND SOME OF THE PRODUCTS LESS EXPENSIVE @ OTHER SITES(SURVIVAL FOOD). BUT YOUR DVDS & BOOKS ARE TOP NOTCH &SOMEWHAT REASONABLE,THOUGH I’VE RECEIVED SOME DUPLICATES WHEN YOU SENT ME THE FREE OFFERS.I WOULD SUGGEST TO KEEP A CLOSER EYE ON WHAT YOUR CUSTOMERS ORDER TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING & TO HELP KEEP YOUR & MY COSTS DOWN. THANKS FOR ASKING.
Havn’t tried any yet.Will order more when can afford it. Do feel better having a backup, need more tho.
I HAVEN’T OPENED THE BOXES YET. I definitely feel more secure and prepared now that I have it. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Should this food be refrigerated rather than keeping it enclosed in the carton?
Frank,
No comment because I have not received my order as of 10/5/13. Will provide comments once I have had a chance to evaluate the product.
Barry Ford
I like the 25 year life span,also having food if things go bad. I ‘ve told my friends about it,it’s up to them know , I feel better knowing I have food no mater where i go.
Yes, I ordered and received products, and I certainly feel that they are contributing to my sense of preparedness. I am recommending them to friends and family. Fast approaching mid-70s, my husband and I have decided that we will primarily be “tweakers” in many prep areas, especially solar. We have read, researched, watched videos, talked to family, and have really come to the conclusion that we will change our lifestyle on a rather modest scale–new roofing, thermal blinds/curtains, abandon hairdryers, and the like. We have food, of course. We also have emergency supplies such as foil blankets, extra bedding, hand-crank and solar radios (including short-wave) and chargers, flashlights (crank of course). We have water filtration systems, and live on a small lake, so water should be OK, although I will be getting a rain collection system this week. We are actively looking for a pre-electronic pick-up in working condition. Heating/cooking/fire are all taken care of, and we have several spare propane tanks for the grill. I have laid in lots of provisions such as paper towels, TP, and the like. We have a tankless gas water system/Rennai. We cannot go off the grid, and I am sorry for that, but I have trouble enough with my blackberry, so I think I’m doing the best I can! My husband is unable to help much, as he has both Parkinsons and Inclusion Body Myositis, which has robbed him of both quad strength and flexor muscles in his hands. So I’m learning. I have to be careful, because I can be a bit OCD at times, but I’m setting aside a time every day to read, prepare, learn, practice. So I feel ready. For tomorrow, even… Have you thought about an article or a column specifically for technology-challenged elders? Those of us who really are just too old, or too set in our ways, or too afraid of technology, or stubborn, to make all the prep changes?
I totally liked the container, so compact and impossible-to-detect-what’s-inside…Have not tried any of the meals but I certainly do feel more secure with my meals in hand. Yes, I would and have recommended this product. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Frank, I was really pleased with the way the food was packed and my wife and me looked all through the kits and were pleased with the selection of the different packs of food. Thanks very much Frank. George & Pat
I can’t honestly answer the first and third question because I haven’t received my order yet, but in response to the second question, yes there is some peace of mind in having an emergency back up to the inevitable calamity that is going to befall the United States. Pretty sad state of affairs that my biggest concern for my future isn’t nuclear war (or the ensuing fallout ) or muslim terrorism, but the fear I’m going to experience from my fellow neighbors as they fall into the ‘mob’ mentality after our illustrious president accomplishes his goals of destroying this nation
1. I like the quality of the foods and the neat and compact packaging.
2. I feel much better knowing that I have this emergency supply of foods.
3. I have already recommended it to several people.
Like the packaging and knowing that the food will last longer than I will live! Plan to buy more. Thanks for the peace of mind this gives me.
Hi Frank – Rec’d. compact pkg. (great for storage!), went through it, and decided when the time comes to use it I’ll intertwine your food with what I’ve squirrelled away. Too bad canned goods don’t come in neat pkg’s. like yours, or cereal, crackers, etc. Thank you for the pkg. if we like it; we’ll try to get more. God Bless America! America Strong.
I have already submitted my comments by separate correspondence. It was not complimentary; in fact you are sending me a refund & I’m returning the unused bags.
I also requested to be dropped from your mailing list.
I purchased this product to be a little more prepared. Can not tell you what I think of the product as it arrived at my home just after I left for work, and I will be working on site for the next two months. I do feel more prepared, just was hoping to have it with me, so I could have a supply with me in our RV.
Haven’t tried any so far. No emergencies yet ( ! )
FRS
I am pleased that the food is good for 25 yrs, easy to store too.
Being an octogenarian, widow AND concerned about my grandchildren I have been preparing since Y2K to help keep my offspring quasi healthy and able to stay out of the limelight of what we know is coming “down the tube”!! With 4 sons and 3 grandsons to worry about it is nearly a full time task to stay ahead. About the order for “Survival” – it has not yet arrived (living in the foothills does have it’s drawbacks) but it will be added to all the other accumulation.
I enjoy all the articles and comments so please do keep them coming. MANY THANX FOR WHAT YOU DO. Best Regards, Beverly
Yes I would recommend this product. I bought two of the plastic containers, split them up into 3’s and shared with my kids. I feel considerably better knowing I have this long life food available in case TSHTF. It’s just a case of when.
I have bought the small food preparation package and it is in the refrigerator. As I am just starting to make arrangements for survival I think the food offer is the best way to begin. My counter question is “why don’t the other people off the U.S. realize the bad situation we are in – right now.”
Frank….yes, I am quite satisfied with your products…..I feel more secure/confident now that I have them. I would definitely recommend your products to other people and I think the products are reasonably priced and the quality is very good. Thank You and your company for making these available to the public….Keep up the good work !!!!!
I like the fact it lasts 25 years. It is easy to strore and makes me feel secure.
I have been very uneasy with the way the economy is going.
I am looking forward to receiving my 3-month Food Supply. Good job!
I believe we should all take steps to be responsibly prepared for any type of interruptions in our lives, natural or manmade. This product is one more step in those efforts for me personally.
I feel better knowing I have the food in storage. I just wish I had the ability and space to use the other techniques and solutions, but I live in a tiny condo and cannot do anything outside my home.
I really like the fact that your supply pack is compact yet FULL it also is unremarkable in appearance therefore saving me ALL the questions from outsiders so less risk to me and mine…nobody but us knows what it is…lol.I do feel quite a bit more prepared and confident that WE will be ok for a window of time in a crisis and yes I would recommend this to the select few that I trust and care about.
1. Very compact, light weight and portable.
2.I feel I have a very convenient and highly portable emergency food supply.
3.Yes. For the reasons mentioned above.
Hi Frank.
We loved the great packs,the long lasting products and tried some,very,very good.
Took delivery and stored, have not tried any yet but yes I do feel some security now that I have them
By the way, I’m not computer savy. I don’t know what you specifically mean by website. Though I have a Yahoo e-mail address, the Yahoo carrier is totally unacceptable, therefore, I use Google as my homepage and use Yahoo.com for my mail, but I’m seriously thinking about switching to another e-mail address.
As Oregon’s Afscme Retiree’s District 2 Vice-President and as one of Oregon Afscme’s Conservative Caucus founding members, I’m hesitant to change connections, at this time. I’m building up my district, which involves five Oregon Counties and trying to establish a structural network therein, with the retirees, so communication can flow up and down the chain of command.
I don’t have a microphone either and wouldn’t know how to plug it in, even if I had one.

To Frank Bates,
I purchased my Food 4 Patriots and found the container to be exactly as advertised. I am pleased with my purchase and am holding it as an emergency prep supply. I do think that the price was a little high but prep supplies seem to be on the high end of the cost scale.
You have asked me befor to give my opinion on certain subjects and I have replied. I have never even received an acknowledgement for replying. Don’t worry, you belong to a large group of people and organizations that want my opinion. At least you are not one of the approximantly one hundred (100) plus who want money to have my opinion read. I wonder if I will receive any type of response from you or, just a form letter containing a lot of words that you think I want to hear.
Thank you for your publications.
Respectfully,
John C. Byars
I purchased the 72 hour food packet. I tried the soup meal and thought it was good. I didn’t eat the rest of the meals. I plan on buying more in the future but not just yet. I would recommend this to other people interested in decent survivor food at a good price.
Good morning Frank!
I did receive your product. I liked the information on the protective packets, however, I haven’t tasted any of them, yet, as I haven’t finished replacing everything from our move. The container seems durable enough. I’m glad I’ve started my own inventory, but I’m researching generators to provide power which to cook the products. In an apartment setting, that is something that I’ll have to process, like . . . where should the generator and the products be stored? I’m working towards creating an emergency section in my 10X20 storage locker in the apt complex, but I’d rather have it inside the apt, where it’s readily accessible. I will contact you once I’m settled and have figured out a place to store and use it.
Respectfully,
Gary Steiner
I have written you a detailed message already regarding my impression of the 3 month food kit. The email was given a ticket # 59453. Hopefully, you will have the opportunity to review those comments. Best Regards, Wayne Hayes
I like the product. Does make me feel a little. More secure. Have to continue to plan for future problems etc..
HI Frank! We ordered the 3-day package–initially to get a feel for the type and quality of items included. We’ve tried 2 of the items so far–the potato soup and the broccoli cheese soup. Both were incredibly tasty and true to the “4 servings”. (On a constructive note, the broccoli cheese soup had some hard pithy pieces, but it wasn’t a major deterrant for us.) We’re planning to try the other 2 items, but we’re pretty sure we’ll end up ordering the 3-month package. We’ve been stocking up on food items, paper goods, cleaning supplies, etc for over 3 years now, so we’re fairly “prepared” for an emergency. However, we don’t have anything that has the shelf life of the Food4Patriots items, so that is very attractive to us! Thanks for asking!
Have not tried any of it yet but I do like the secure packaging.
I do feel more prepared for having this extra food.
Yes, I would recommend it, because I think having it gives a person some peace of mind.
(I did recommend it to my sister).
Good quality, a lot of food, just wished they had had some kind of heater with them. Still, worth the money. I would recommend it to my friends and family.
Haven’t tried the product yet.
This order is considered a sample trial. In the next month, if it is as good as hoped, then will order more and recommend it to others. This is our first order for emergency preparedness food storage and our primary goal is for NON GMO well balanced nutrition without excess sugar and sodium.
Order was expedient and well communicated.
Thank you.
I purchased one unit of your product in order to try it out. While not delectable, it is edible and makes a good base; I can adjust the flavor with our herbs and spices. One of your competitors has a product that makes C Rations taste good by comparison. My Lady and I are looking to supplement our emergency food stores with more variety and your product will fit that need quite nicely. We are not looking to have a years’ cache, we do not have a “bolt hole” and we are not hard core survivalists. We just want something put away to get thru a natural disaster that is unlikely to happen in our area in the first place. One negative comment: your guides to gardening, preparedness, etc are puerile. A fifth grade elementary school class could do better. Everything in your presentations is common sense and does not go far enough. You don’t even provide a link in order to sell some books that have real information.
Not received the product yet As if 10-5-2013
This is an ideal package, easy to hide, very packable. Thanx You’re doing a Great service…..
I received my emergency food but I haven’t tried it yet. I guess I am waiting for an emergency.
Sorry.
I do not have those capabilities.
Regarding the shipment, I like it very much and would recommend it to others.
The packages are very attractive and informative (don’t have to guess what is
in them) and the containers were a real surprise.
ja
Yes, I feel better but if I had the money to spend I’d order about 10 more of these. I don’t worry for myself so much, just my grandchildren. I don’t ever want to know they are hungry and have no food. Thank you for your efforts.
Dear Frank,
It was so good to receive my supplies! Even facing winter up here in the woods can leave one without power for days! I was really impressed with the individual packing, but the big storage bin made it well worth the investment…but I have to say that getting the Heritage seeds- as a bonus- really made me feel like this was the best deal i’ve got so far!!! I’ll be buying more ASAP!!! Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Jessie Soule
1. Storage container
2. Yes, I am pleased to have this amount of emergency food on hand.
3. Probably not as there are other sources at a lesser price.
Like insurance, I hope I never have to use it. It’s all about peace of mind. I think it was a good value.
Well to tell you the truth i felt riped off. I did not ask for dryed milk and some of that other low cost filler you used. I have bought a 30 day supply from efoods before and theres is so much better. Next time i think you people should put in more food you can eat than drink.. thats just my opinoin……. I wont buy from you people again and im going to pass this info around to Glens core base. You people should really get your shit together…………………………
I like the substantial packaging of the product. I Iike the shelf life and it made a nice addition to our emergency supplies. I plan to biuy more when/if the opportunity arrives. I wuld love to find some reasonably priced food-safe barrels for long-term storage of water and dont understand why they want nearly $100 for a blue plastic 55 gal barrel???.
I haven’t opened any of the pouches yet, saving for an emergency.
1. Your low prices, I shouldn’t have to be rich to survive, wish I could afford the larger package, maybe you will still be offering it when I can.
2. Compliments the other food preps I have, adding to my ability to survive, my greatest fear is surviving the calamity only to starve afterwards.
3. You told us not to tell anybody about the site….so I have kept the info to myself, however I have recommended your newsletter to a couple of my close friends, so if they may have taken advantage of the supply offer as well.
I like the compact size of the kit but believe there should be a means to purify water included to be fully serviceable as a survival cache.
its compact and easy to store. yes i feel much better now that i have what i feel will last me several mounths. yes i would recommend this product because its compact and easy to store
Have not opened package as yet. Trying to figure out where to hide it.
Good idea. Nice that the shelf life is so long. I hope it is not needed, but fear it will be. Thanks for your help.
I BOUGHT THESE PACKETS TO USE FOR CAMPING, BECAUSE THEY ARE LIGHT WEIGHT AND EASY TO PREPARE.
The survival items I purchased look great.
I have not tried any of the items but I am pleased with
the packaging and the quantity of items.
Thank you for making them for us.
I have not tasted it yet but I like how easy it would be to keep since it is so compact. It arrived quickly also.
Yes, I feel very secure and the shelf life is important to me.
I still have not received my shipment yet.
BB
I like the variety and how they are individually packaged and I like the container that you put them in.
It does feel good knowing that I have a little emergency supply that I don’t have to worry about going bad.
I would recommend it to someone for the same reason I answered in number 2.
The Southwest Enchilada Soup contains Chili and bell pepper and the Franks 5 star minestrone soup contains bell pepper both of which I am severely allergic to so not usable. The other items appear to all be OK. Is there some way to find out whats in the contents before ordering? I will keep this as it is mostly OK for me.
Of course! Just email customer service at [email protected] for a full ingredient lisitng.
I have the food, still packed up. I have not yet tried it because I am sure it will be good. I have read the ingredients, instructions and I know my husbands like and dislikes. I will use it when the ice knocks out the power lines.
the only improvement I see the you can make would be instead of being package for four break it down for the people who would want it this way in packages of one. How do you store the remainder of the food if you only use one portion and you have prepared portion 4. You could just eat the portions for 4 and then divide the days that you have paired for by that same number. I realize there would be more cost involved I for one would be willing to pay it the way that I get my single portions as it now stands is to buy 72 hour packages. Which I now have 7 of. I feel this is a real niche in the survival food industry that has not been filled and the first one in is going to reap the benefits. It could be considered straight marketing. Or even have an menu where single servings could be bought separately. And don’t forget to put small containers of milk. Always diligent Mark1776
Mose secure if something happens. This held round out my emergency preparations. I would recommend the products
yes, I like knowing I have food, when it’s Time to need it. All of the food we tried was great, yes I would recommend to others, but I’m keeping it a secret
Total Rip! I thought I’d be getting portions that I could prepare as needed. No! Instead I get pouches that supposedly contain “x” number of portions!
So now, it’s up to me to try and divide this up, and repackage these smaller portions in what?, lunch bags? Nice! Not.
For me, each bag is about 1 or 2 meals. So instead of getting 4 or 6 servings from each bag, I really only have 4 bags that are 1 (one) meal each!
All this fun for only $27.00! Wow! What a deal! (Not). Wise foods gave me THEIR version of the same thing, and supplied Much more food!
Wise also needs you to divide up their pouches, but they also use TWO bags to give you four portions, not one. This means you just divide each bag in half! MUCH easier and faster! Not to mention more food. BOTH of these products taste almost the same, with Wise having a little better taste, and a better selection.
I HAVE BOUGHT 3 NOW- I ALMOST BOUGHT A 4TH BUT ITS THE SAME”DEAL” AS BEFORE= IN MY OPINION YOU NEED TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT AN NEW- I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANYTHING ELSE TILL YOU HAVE SOMETHING DIFFERENT. AS FAR OS THE PRODUCT GOES YEAH ITS GOOD- NOT GREAT- VALUE IS OK NOT GOOD. IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS JUST NOT ENOUGH THERE TO LAST MY FAMILY 3 MONTHS. I HONEST THING 2 WEEKS TOPS. JUST HONEST FEEDBACK BUT OVER ALL I LIKE YOU GUYS AND READ ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU SEND ME AS LONG AS ITS NOT THE SAME THING AN NOT MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK
Like the easy to store food containers. Alot more prepared for emergencies now. Thanks for your help and all your articles.
I have not opened it yet. I want to get the storage area set up first before I open the box., Neatness first. Then everything can be stacked and labeled. Can more items be bought, and what other items are available I may buy another box of food.. I am starting the staples paackaging now. Since there are two of us, 1 cup of most things are sufficient. (Flour,Brown Rice. Sugar, Salt. the big four) We need to feed not fatten.I have a 5 x 60 garden area behind a toungue and groove 6 foot vinyl fence set up, and a inside garden area when the 14-23 sun room is being built in the next couple months. I’ll have a 4-12 area in there. I am also packaging seeds in garden size packages. only plant a couple of each for immediate consumption. I dont need 20 lettuce growing at once.. Just plant 2 weekly. Before I became disabled,I was a minumim inpact camper, so the body failed me but the brain still fuctions. ( Came down with MS) retired VETERAN
great packaging ,have 2 boxs and seed vault,Ill have to try a few to be prepared to use them,winter is coming -50 and all the good things that come with it,will make a great addition to -30 to -45 bison and caribou hunting up on the tundra rater than frozen cans,thanks,Bruce
The packages are good size and easy to use. I am recommending these to all my friends and family members to get these food packs for any emergency.
Frank
All our orders were received in perfect condition and in containers that make storage and inventory easy to access when needed. Very organized with labeling,highly recommend ordering your product for friends and family and anyone who wants to look ahead and be prepared for the unexpected . Thanks Jeff
I am retired with limited resources but have found great comfort in having secured food supplies to survive through an extended crisis and/or government fashioned food emergency.
I purchased this product because of confidence in your Patriot reputation. I have also purchased from Buy Emergency Food and Thrive Life Food but have not yet used any of these food items. My attraction in your product was for the packaging as well as variety of meals / nutrition offered.
I haven’t received the product at this time but I am looking forward to it arriving soon.
Sincerely,
Bob Roemer
1.What did you like most about this product? It is easy to prepare. It tastes great. And the plastic boxes it came in are so easy to store ANYWHERE!
2.How has the product helped you — ie do you feel more secure and prepared now that you have it, etc? I definitely feel more prepared having these on hand. And am trying to save up more money to get some additional months of security.
3.Would you recommend this product? If so, why? Yes, for the reasons listed above AND because it is so important to be prepared for whatever happens to the BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. Thank you for coming up with such a helpful and easy to implement plan for our preparations.
I can tell that this website really cares about America and Patriots! ! !
The packages are good size and easy to use. I am recommending to all my friends and family members to get these food packs for any emergency.
Frank
It was simple and easy
Not Happy!
Your food supply contains GMO’s and chemicals that Destroys your Thyroid and Immune System.
Are you a part of the Gov. that is trying to Kill Us?
What are you really promoting?
You are now on my list of Untrusted.
Of course, we haven’t opened or used them as they are for survival times. But why I like buying your product is for the nutrition and not just vacant calories.
Like the containers the food came in
In these and more troubled times to come, it’s comforting to have a backup
supply of food.
Will recommend the product after we have had an opportunity to sample
some of the food items.
I would like to thank Frank Bates and 4Patriots for reaching out to their fellow Americans with all their survival hints and instructions.
My purchase of Food4Patriots has indeed brought me peace of mind. Anyone has access at this time, to make this purchase even if they are only slightly survival minded. I particularly loved the choices in the different price and size ranges for the Food4Patriots product. These are the reasons I am so satisfied with my purchase:
It arrived non descriptive, nicely packaged, and in a timely manner.
I was surprised how protectively packed the products themselves are, and I particularly loved the strong storage bin it is stored in. The fact that it has a shelf life of 25 years, if it is properly stored, is an added plus! Freeze dried is the way to go!
And of course, all the different choices of nourishing, healthy, tasty, and attractive meal choices are reassuring! I intend to make a second purchase in the near future, as my budget allows because it just makes sense.
Frank, thank you again for stepping up and sharing your knowledge with people like myself that wouldn’t stand a chance if not for your courage. Of course this is not for free, but it is fairly priced to give anyone an opportunity to achieve a chance for survival that we would not have ordinarily.
God bless you!
Gratefully yours,
Lynn Graff

just put an order in for a friend. he told me about your product. will give it a try when my order 363041 comes in
Thank you, I received the 72-hour food package and it was securely sealed in mylar as promised. I have not opened the package because I’m saving it for an emergency, so I cannot coment on what is in it. I’m trusting that what in inside is exactly what was promised. I have other family who may want to order from you.
I would like to order a larger package now, but have forgotten how to get to the order page.
Kathryn
1. I like the simplicity of the order, ordering process and storage.
2. I feel more prepared.
3. I would probably not recommend the product simply because I haven’t tried it yet.
I love the container that the food came in its great. We’ve tried the creamy chicken and rice to see if we would like the food and we love it as well. I have never felt insecure because of my upbringing , but I’ve also been taught to always be prepared and now we are thanks to your food4patriots we have a small supply of storable food and useable water and seeds . I would gladly recommend this product to my family and friends and to people on the street as well.
1) What impressed me most was the packaging. It showed concern for long term stg and the tote is compact and easy for anyone to handle.
2) I do feel better prepared now . . . with it paired with my can goods and other perishable supplies.
3) I would definitely recommend FOOD4PATRIOTS to my friends and relatives. Can you send me an email advertisement I could use to forward to my contact list. This might work for your other customers also.
Many Thanks for a great product.
Clarence in Texas
the packageing is fantastic they went right on the shelf. coming from you i knw the product is a superior product and will be great when i need them’ I feel even more secure with your product because it would be the first item that i would load up in an emergency. yes i would defineitly recomend your superior product to others
I think the packaging of the food is very good; the Sterilite bins are easy handled and should
be able to fit under a bed—or anywhere else.
Any preparation will provide more security to me & my family—-and food is a very
important component.
I have NOT tasted the food yet—so I can’t evaluate it’s quality or flavor.
I have recommended it to others.
I feel more secure knowing that I am somewhat prepared should there be a problem or natural disaster. Since it is long time storage, it will be there for my son should he need it.
Did not like this product. Pre-packaged servings for 4 are useless to me as a single person. Would have needed double (or triple!) packs when I had 4 teen-age boys to feed. Also, diabetes controlled by low-carb eating make these high carb recipes off limits. They are poison to my body, and I’m sure many others out there have similar needs. Do I feel safer? Well, only in the sense that I now have a choice: death by starvation, or death by raging complications of diabetes. Sorry I wasted my money.
I love your product. “I am prepared.” It allows me the feeling of being self-reliance to know my wife and I have the ability to survive an event of emergency. I have not tried any food enclosed in your product. But, I have always tried to live by one of my greatest thoughts. “I would rather have something and not need it than to need something and not have it.” I always try to be prepared for any emergency (within reason) or event out-of-control before it happens. It drives my wife ‘nuts’ but on the other hand, when things happens – I have always come through with flying colors in emergencies and non-emergencies events. It might have saved our lives or someone else’s live by being prepared.
I have recommended this product to several friends and family.
1- cost for trying it!
2- I grew up reading Bradford Angier and Ewell Gibbons among others while being raised in Montana and Idaho mountains. back then survival was a way of life. I have been seeing the warning signs and have not moved till now to heed them. Thanks for getting me off my tail.
3- not here yet will let you know!
Excellent quality, healthy variety, properly packaged in good storage containers! Yes and peace of
Mind for this Senior Citizen! I have forwarded your emails to my friends and family. Bob
I have not used the food yet but was disappointed that I could have bought it much cheaper from your website rather than the email that you sent. For this reason, I will not buy more but will choose another supplier,
We have not received our order which we are using to measure if we want to order our supplies from PH.
I was really excited when I received my box of 3 month food-storage. When I opened it and saw 2 tubs packed full of dehydrated food I had to look at everything. I was surprised how big the portions were. (4 1/2 cups water: potato soup) one package! I know when I ordered that you said these were adult portions, but I was very pleased with getting more than I thought was an adult portion. With the signs of the times on top of us, it is very important to be prepared. I have been preaching this for years to friends and neighbors. It is heart wrenching to get laughed at and to be called paranoid. I love that you guys get it and that we are on the same page:) I have had problems at times with my food storage in rotation and having to use up things before expiration date and then to restock. I love the security of what you sent me will last 25 years!! I will let you know when I have tried it. Gotta do that. It is exactly what I have been wanting to stock up on. Going to save up and order again. It is very comforting to know this is on my shelf! Thank You!
I like the foods I got from you but I have them is storage with lots of other foods. Lots of things have change my life these days , not only food but guns as well. I recommend this type to others too.
Frank, I am glad you had the fore thought and expertise to offer this great Food for Patriots package. I purchased 4 to supplement other stores previously acquired. Thanks. Rich
We haven’t tried the food I plan to try something this weekend. I do not have voice mail on our computer we just have the basic. I will leave this on my computer and answer you on Monday to how we like what we try this weekend.
Thank you
Mary
I like that is compact , protected and safe.
I now feel more able to feed my family in time of crisis.
I wish I could afford more of them.
1) I like that it is compact and securely sealed — easily accessible. 2) I feel that I have done something to prepare for the coming collapse and taken real action to help myself — unlike 99% of my friends, who see no danger. 3) Yes, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be prepared for any emergency.
1. The way it is stored. 2. Yes, more secure. I’m going to buy more when I have the money! 3. Yes, I have already. Really like the product.
Have not tried any of the product. We have lots of home canned foods so it has not provided a great deal of ‘security’ feelings.
Since I only have “a batch of dried stuff said to be food” in a box, I would not do much recommending – no basis.
It is a wonderful product. Everything is carefully thought out and easy to prepare.
I tried one package and it tasted very good but had way too much salt. Also, there was NO LIST OF THE CONTENTS included. Can you send a list to me? It would be very helpful.
I am glad I have this food supply even if there might never be an emergency to use it — good peace of mind!!
I’ll have customer service email that list to you, Elaine.
1. What did you like most about this product? I loved the durable container that the product came in.
2. How has the product helped you — ie do you feel more secure and prepared now that you have it, etc? Well, we haven’t used the product yet because we bought it for emergencies when no food is available. Of course, we do feel more secure and prepared now that we have it.
3. Would you recommend this product? If so, why? I would. The more people who have an emergency food stash, the more people who can work together to survive during an economic collapse.
On a side note, you should consider selling on Amazon.com. Business may spike as I personally know people who would rather buy emergency food (WISE Company, Mountain House, ration bars, MRE’s, etc) from Amazon.com because they receive Amazon rewards, as well as, Amazon is a very well-known and reputable company.
