At ReadyWise Food, we lead the food industry when it comes to emergency preparedness. We work with organizations like the American Red Cross to make sure families are ready for the unexpected. This is why we created our unique line of emergency food rations and meals designed for use in natural disasters or for long-term shelf storage.
Made from a combination of freeze-dried and dehydrated ingredients, each entrée tastes great while also providing the calories and protein your body needs for survival. The food retains its original flavor, shape, color, and nutritional value while taking up less space, and our innovative process doesn’t require hot water to rehydrate the meal (though it is preferred). Even if the power is out or you’re stuck on the mountain overnight, all you need is one cup of water of any temperature to rehydrate and enjoy a filling entrée. The rations are sealed using an ultra-high-barrier film, which is designed to provide optimum protection for oxygen- and moisture-sensitive products with long shelf-life requirements. That means your emergency rations can last up to 25 years. Each bucket contains 120 servings with 13 different meal options to choose from.
Whether you’re stocking emergency preparedness supplies or looking for quality backpacking food, ReadyWise meals are easy, nutritious, and ready to go when you need them. Check out our entire selection of emergency, adventure, and everyday freeze-dried and dehydrated meals.

Emergency
Not bad for the price. Sent to a friend in an emergency and she loved it. She said it tastes good and is easy to prepare. Ordered another for me just in case. Says it’ll last 25 years. Maybe I’ll test that it I don’t eat it first.

Looks as advertised and super light weight
So light!!!! So much food and I can pickup the full containers with one finger. Makes for excellent god bag material, could probably even rig them to the outside of my bag, or just carry them. Very happy with this purchase.

Emergency food product
Purchased this brand product after reading about other brands . The Readywise brand had great reviews . Wanted this for use in case of emergency. Came as stated but i did break open sealed container to visually inspect items . We found 2 had been perforated but the rest were ok. We did call the companies customer service and explained what our issue was with product. The company made good and shipped out to us 2 replacements which were placed back into container .Container comes sealed up , has a 25 year shelf life . Only needs water and heat to cook such as a stove or open fire . Good to have in case of severe weather and or emergencies where you could be homebound more than a week .

Autistic Adult: Hates Cooking
I recently purchased the ReadyWise Freeze-Dried Meal Bucket and have been thoroughly impressed with the variety and convenience it offers. As someone who faces challenges with food preparation due to executive dysfunction, this bucket has been a game-changer for ensuring I have nourishing meals without the stress of cooking.The selection of meals included in the bucket is impressive and covers a wide range of flavors and options. From the savory Southwest Beans and Rice to the comforting Tomato and Basil Soup, each meal has provided a delicious and satisfying experience. I appreciate the thoughtfulness of including both breakfast and main meal choices, making it versatile for any time of day.One standout feature is the ease of preparation. Rehydrating the meals has been a breeze, requiring only water and a short waiting time. This convenience has been a lifesaver for most, if not all of my meals. I don’t have a food preparation service near my home, so this was the next best thing. In addition, it has helped me portion control and help with my IBS, because it replaced my diet of frozen pizzas and various other “fast” junk food.Overall, I have no problem with the purchase. The only meal I don’t prefer is the Tomato and Basil.I complemented this bucket with a bucket of fruit to help balance the nutrient value. The freeze-dried fruit blends have been a delightful addition to my meals. The burst of natural flavors and the nutritional benefits they provide have made each meal more enjoyable and well-rounded.While convenience is paramount for me, I’ve also been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meals. The textures and flavors have exceeded my expectations for freeze-dried food, and I haven’t encountered any unpleasant aftertastes or artificial flavors.The ReadyWise Freeze-Dried Meal Bucket has become an essential part of my meal planning, whether for quick on-the-go options or for emergencies. The peace of mind it provides is invaluable, knowing that I have a variety of wholesome meals at my fingertips.In summary, I highly recommend the ReadyWise Freeze-Dried Meal Bucket to anyone seeking a convenient, flavorful, and balanced meal solution. It’s a fantastic way to ensure you’re well-prepared for various situations, and it’s a game-changer for individuals like me who face challenges with food preparation.Disclaimer: As a reviewer, my experience is specific to my personal needs and preferences. However, I believe the quality and convenience of this product would be valuable for anyone looking for hassle-free meal options.

Not returnable! Check the packs right away!!
I read many reviewers mention that some of the packs had holes, so I was sure to check my bags immediately upon delivery.The delivery box was fine, and the bucket itself was fine. No damage at all.Inside my gluten free box were all gold plastic packs. The packs are all multiple servings, 6 or 8 servings.As I pulled out the packs, I noticed several had some powder on them, and the bucket did have some orangey powder on the inside as well. The orange powder smelled like ramen flavor pack.Examining the packs, I found that the teriyaki rice packs all looked like they had small punctures, and one had a definite tear , about 1/4 inch. I guess this recipe has some really sharp pointy ingredients that can puncture the bags when they vacuum seal it.The tortilla soup bags had some pokes.The yogurt bags were fine and the potato chicken pot pie bags were fine.My gluten free box has no meat in the recipes, so I guess I can just put the questionable bags in a vacuum seal bag for extra protection since they are supposed to be freeze dried. They should keep ok (I hope!), but not for 25 years.You cannot return the food!!! And I was not able to find a contact phone number or email for the company. If you have issues with your box, contact Amazon customer service directly so they can help you.Another thing about the instructions included for reconstituting the food. The multiple serving bags of meals say to use 6 cups of water for the whole bag (which is 6 servings), but for the yogurt, it only says to add 1 cup of water for whole bag of 8 servings?? I guess I’ll only know when I try eating it…I don’t know why the company doesn’t read these reviews and respond to the repeated complaints of torn bags inside the buckets. They need to come up with a better way to keep these ingredients sealed to last for 25 years as they claim.I purchased in September 2024, and all the components of my box were labeled as April 2024.

Tasty meals, long shelf life. Anyone just looking to stock up long lasting emergency rations for future use, I recommend it. I will order more to stock pile at least a years worth of food.Or 52 medium sized buckets.

Food is packed in different size servings i.e so one person need to repack in smaller bags. Meals don’te seem to be complete. The manual says you need additional bucket of meat servings and breakfast.Food taste not is very good. I will get dryfrozen meals next time. Taste better, single servings and not much more expensive.

I am quite impressed by this product. Considering the amount you get and the flavor the price is very good. I tasted other foods too and some tasted better and some worse, but in general this tasted pretty good to me. I am pleased overall and would repurchase this product again.The only downside for me was that each bag contained more than one portion. I like to have each portion in a separate bag. But that’s just my preference and I also find it more convenient when hiking having individual portions in individual bags. But you can easily split it into separate bags yourself before travel, so it is only a slight inconvenience. Overall I recommend this product.

Plutôt bien présenté et plusieurs recettes disponibles. Si vous cherchez un repas correct en cas de besoin c’est le produit qu’il vous faut, ne cherchez pas un repas gastronomique par contre.
