Survival Water
Every survival kit needs water, but for me that’s the thing that I neglect to pack the most often. These pouches are much more rugged than an average 500ml water bottle and can be fit into a greater variety of spaces thanks to their flat profile. Handy to toss a few into the car as well.I cracked one open just to try it, and when trying to drink from the pouch I promptly spilled half of the water all over my lap. Make sure to include a cup in your survival kit too.As for the taste, it tasted like…water. 5 stars.

Keep these in the car for emergencies
I have these in every vehicle I own. The small size of each pack means water can be used for wound cleaning, cleaning broken parts, or any other host of uses without wasting your supply. The flat pack design helps them fit in many storage spaces in a vehicle.The other benefit of the small size is thawing, though for a much narrower group of people. I live in Alaska and these will freeze every winter in the truck. But the small size of the packets means they can be kept in an internal pocket and thawed with body heat or a heat pack.

Good tasting filtered water that stays fresh for 5 years in the harshest environments
This is filtered water in a polymer foil pouch. Each pouch contains 4.227 fluid ounces. According to their web site they have approval from the USCG, Canadian Coast Guard, EC and NZ. This water has been filtered and filled at FDA certified facilities. The web site says it will stay fresh for 5 years in even the harshest environments. I wanted a way to safely store water in my car. I had heard about the controversy surrounding plastic water bottles, heat from the car, and breast cancer. Don’t know if it’s true, but it was a risk I did not want to take. I thought of storing bottled water from the grocery store or storing water in glass jars. The fact that the bottles have to be rotated more than I wanted to rotate them made this not an option for me. I might remember my car, but would also have to remember my husband’s. Summers where I live soar into the 100 degress. Inside the car is hotter. I needed to store water safely in the car for an emergency. I learned about Datrex. It was a solution to my problems. Each pouch is for one use. The top of the pouch is supposed to rip to open. The pouches I recieved had a tiny hole punched through the area you were supposed to rip, making it easier to open. This hole did not help ripping it open. Photo of the tiny hole on the pouch is enclosed. I had to open the pouch with a pair of scissors. It is advertised as 72 hours worth of water, because this company thinks you shouldn’t drink water the first 24 hours of an emergency unless you are sick or injured. This is actually printed on the back of the pouch. Don’t know about you, but that is not how I am going to operate in an emergency. Since this product met all of my criteria I was afraid it would taste horrible. Before I tasted it I told myself. “It doesn’t matter how it tastes if it saves your life.” After cutting the dark area marked for opening of the packet off with a pair of scissors I felt that the water did not come out that easily. I cut the opening larger. Walked into the bathroom so I could spit it out. No need to spit it out. Shock of all shocks, the water tastes good! So glad I found this product. I carry it in my car along with Mainstay Emergency Rations. Both products are made to withstand harsh environments.

Taste good, be mindful of expectation date
This is the second 72 hour Datrex emergency water packs I’ve purchased over the last couple years. They do come with instructions on how much to consume the water in an emergency situation. Just be realistic if you are in a life or death situation! Anyway, one of my older packs sprung a leak at the seam and I believe it’s possibly from pressure that forced the water to weaken the seal over time so keep that in mind when storing or packing them into emergency kits. Since the pack that sprung a small leak would need to be discarded I gone ahead and opened it and consumed it. The water did taste good and kind of had a “silky” texture, like “FIJI” bottled water. If you don’t know the “texture” I’m talking about then buy yourself a bottle of “FIJI” and you’ll see the difference compared to other bottled water. Very pleasantly smooth is my description. The only downside was the expiration date which is supposed to be 5 years shelf life but, already lost 9 months from the time of manufactured and upon receiving the packs. This doesn’t mean I won’t purchase more but just a little disappointing. Pros – compact packs easy to store and tastes pleasant. Cons – packs can leak if not careful and expiration date can be iffy. Other than that I like them and does help with emergency roadside kits if on long road trips or just to keep a box or two for “just in case” emergency situations.

I bought it for those emergency situations…
I’ve yet to encounter a situation where these are necessary but they’re a decent size for emergencies. I like that they’re durable and can be stored in smaller spaces because they’re flat and can be discreet versus a bulky 16oz bottle with possible plastic contamination in extreme heat.
