Emergency Food Rations Meal Ready To Eat, Long Self Life 18400 Calorie Survival Tabs Perfect for Camping, Hiking, Army Outdoor Disaster, 20 Pack with Tin Box

These energy bars taste pretty good. I highly recommend them as an addition to your survival food supply. They have a long shelf life.

These taste just fine. I have had them in the past. I bought them for long term storage in the old hunting lodge!

Seems ok for Emergency Rations. A little worried that these were not from US, but it seems that a lot of our food is not. Each tin continas 20 foil wrappers, and each foil wrapper contains four sealed biscuits. I added date of purchase and figure if i do need to supplement my diet will make the decision down the line. I like the no-meat caloric source. It's a good compliment to what we have in our pantry (beans, rice, canned fish). Taste like cookies. Not bad at all. I may take some of them hiking.I printed out a detail of the product, added a date of purchase sticker, and taped a razor blade to the inside because the packaging is tightly sealed.For less than what we spent on pets this month we have a little peace of mind.

These appear to be a good buy. I tried one of them. As should be for a "survival ration" it tastes OK but not super delicious. This was the philosophy behind the "D Ration" "chocolate" bar of WWII. Any basic survival food should not taste like candy or it would be consumed too quickly. I found the taste slightly chocolate and the texture of a cracker. Each one is well package so you could throw a couple in a vehicle for emergencies. More than enough calories. This buy is a box of individually package bars which easily split into two bars per individual package. I consider it a good buy. The only possible negative is "made in China". I hope their quality control was good.

I got the peanut butter bars. I have not tried the other ones but if they are anything like the peanut butter ones I will like them. Now I tried one cliff bar and didn’t like it at all must of the cliff bar went out the window. Now with this one I love it but the texture is something else. It like a compressed cookie. If I was going to recommend this type of food I would say this is the best to pack over a cliff bar in my books and the life of the food is great 20 years. The packaging is good because you can eat one bar at a time or spit one pack between two kids.

Bought them for quick lunch, they are good but chalky

Very much like Calorie Mate. Excellent.

These are a compact ration bar. In texture they are are dense but crumbly - they don't break apart in the hand but do when bitten and are reduced to dust when chewed. Despite this, eating them doesn't provoke too strong of a thirst. In flavor, I'd say they are like a savory, mild shortbread cookie - like such a cookie made from ghee. There is no detectable flavor of pepper or salt, so far as I could tell.They are conveniently packaged two bars to a robust foil pack, with each bar individually wrapped with a thin plastic wrapping, just enough to keep the bars separate and free from sweat/dust until you are ready to eat them. Though thin, it can be removed in one piece, for the most part.I purchased these for two reasons - to keep in my car as an emergency food supply, and to keep in my pack to top off on clean energy. They seem to work well for the latter purpose; when I was climbing a mountain to see the total eclipse, I tested out a pair of bars to see how they supported the exertion. They were easy to remove and eat, left no residue and had no gastrointestinal effects, and provided enough energy that I didn't have to eat again for almost twelve hours.If I had any complaint, it would be that they are a bit expensive for what they are - they should be maybe half this price. It might be nice to get these individually wrapped, since they are 400 Calories each and you don't necessarily want to 800 Calories even if you are out on a tough hike. I'd prefer US-made ration bars to Chinese ones, and will see if any are available. They are, however, suitable to purpose.
