$39.99 seems like a good deal for this. Less than $50 shipped:

check out what it takes to feed you for a day then check the calorie content of wise...then decide if it's a good deal...
Fair enough. These are going for about $30 more on other sites.
wise concentrates on servings in their advertising because the calorie content is about 200 per serving on average...so they are saying you can get by on 400 to 600 calories per day...that pack has 32 servings or 8 pouches...each pouch is about 800 calories...a typical adult male has a basal metabolism of about 2000-2500 calories per day just to exist...doesn't count strenuous activity in an emergency situation plus have you ever tried it? it's not very tasty...
It IS a decent deal even though 5 days is probably overly optimistic. But it would certainly be a very good gift for those woefully unprepared relatives that just drive around blissfully ignorant with no supplies in their vehicles whatsoever.Fair enough. These are going for about $30 more on other sites.
I don't think we have tried Wise food products although we may have a sample or two around here somewhere. Mountain House has been decent but what we have had came from Walmart and wasn't what I would call a good deal. I just assume that if you ordered this kit that there is some room in the bag for adding things like an LED light and batteries,Power Bars and a Lifestraw or other purification device. I scored a nice new backpack at the Kingsland Goodwill today for $4.95. And if you think about it a good bit of the expense of putting a bag together is the expense of the bag itself. I looked up the bag I got which is an Outdoor Products and it's $44.00 on Walmart.com. It's not really big enough to live out of it for 5 days but it has pockets all over it and if you make use of all of them it's probably more than you would want to carry for very far. But I don't look at bags as how far I could hike with them. I think in most situations like the great Snowpocolypse not so long ago it's usually a stuck in place situation. So the more gear the better.
