Reviewed by OMF from Michigan on Tuesday, May 14, 2013Wish I would have read more of the reviews that gave less stars, which were conveniently hidden at the bottom when I went back and looked. I do like the taste of this product, we have purchased it many times before. The tile of the product is very misleading. There is definitely not enough food for 2 people for 3 days contained in this package. Normal people need around 2,000 calories a day, hikers need much more especially in colder weather. If you divide out the calories in this product you end up with 800-900 per person. It was very disappointing to find this out.

Reviewed by Samuel from Utah on Thursday, May 09, 2013I don't know if this would be enough food for two people with an appetite for 3 days but more than for one person. I tried one entree and it was delicious and cooked up nicely.

Reviewed by Outdoorguy from Central US on Wednesday, May 08, 2013Liked all in box except eggs dishes are horrible, like really really bad. But for a cheap on sale trial pack, it was still a good deal.

Reviewed by Bob 101 from NW Oregon on Tuesday, May 07, 2013I get these prepackaged meal packs every year or so to be used for quick meal plans for "unplanned" backpack trips. I use a meal pack for a 3 day hike when I have someone with me to share or I get 5-6 days with careful measuring to give myself 2 meals from a 2 person serving. This is not a complete meal pack to my way of thinking. What is missing: There is now trail mix or trail bars to munch on while you are hiking - be sure to pack these extra for yourself. There is no drink mix - be sure pack your own hot coco, coffee, tea, Gatorade, etc. As a side note: I am not a big fan of packaged dehydrated meals. I eat them because they are convenient, light weight, and fast. They frequently have more salt added to them than I like.

Reviewed by Luke from Northern Utah on Monday, May 06, 2013Small serving sizes, but tasty food. when I received the box with this inside it was surprisingly small. I was not expecting it to be this compact. I have only used it on solo day hikes and makes for a delicious hot lunch on the trail with a little hot water. when packing all of the packages can fit into less than half a plastic grocery bag. I have not tried all of the food but will be purchasing this kit again and with a good discount code it is very reasonably priced backpacking food. highly recommended!

Question “Last year the question was asked about the expiration dates and the answer was 2014...a year has gone by, are they still dated to expire in 2014 and if not, could you please tell me the expiration dates on these?”
-
Answer As of (January 2012) has all items dated for expiration at Nov or Dec 2014
-
Answer Expiration dates are listed on the package. Newly purchased these have a shelf life of 3 years so 2015. HOWEVER. They are required by law to approximate a safe shelf life to protect against legal and civil action. However in reality most properly freeze dried food can last (rehydrateable and safe to eat) 10 years. Do not throw these out simply because it is one month past expiration. For camping trips you may want fresher meals, however in a true EMERGENCY, can you really afford to be picky over a legally required expiration date?

Answer I just purchased these and all expiration dates on mine were 2015. Awesome!
