^ from: (Amazon) - For when you are unable to feed yourself and/or your family for an extended amount of time due to disaster, you may want to invest in an emergency meal kit.
Before I go any further, I want to hope no one has to go through a situation where you will struggle to feed yourself and/or your family. If you do experience a time where you have to rely on emergency food kits to feed yourself and others, I hope you will be able to feed yourselves properly.
An emergency food kit can be purchased in case you experience some sort of disaster. These disasters can range from being without power and electricity, floods, hurricanes, snowstorms and/or blizzards, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, mudslides, terrorism, war, and things of that nature. Anything that prevents you from living comfortably and being fed qualifies as disasters which can require you to seek other ways of staying fed. You might even be poor and not able to buy groceries and may have to look to an emergency food kit to stay fed. No matter what, an emergency food kit can be of great help for when you are unable to feed yourself and/or your family due to some sort of external influences.
Starting circa 2019 or so, I saw an emergency food kit from a company called Augason Farms. There are a number of different companies that offer emergency food kits. Besides Augason Farms, there are other companies that make emergency food kits, such as Hoosier Hill Farm, 4Patriots, My Patriot Supply, ReadyWise, and Emergency Essentials among others. The point of emergency food kits is to provide quality meals that can be prepared when you do not have access to fancy cooking equipment. These are meals you can prepare as essential meals to feed you and/or your family. On the other hand, there are some emergency meal kits that offer different food and drink styles. For instance, I saw an emergency meal kit consisting of chocolate bars. Think of these kind of like military food rations for home use and civilian use. These emergency meal kits have a very long life. Most of these emergency food kits can last for up to 25 years (around 30 years if stored properly), so you won't need to consume them quickly to prevent the emergency food from spoiling.
Don't think about your favorite comfort foods with these meals because these are essential (and even healthy) portions meant to keep you fed in the case of emergency when you can't feed yourself properly. The purpose of emergency meal kits are to provide meals for you for survival and not necessarily your favorite snacks or comfort foods. Emergency meal kits can include things such as mashed potatoes, noodles, macaroni and cheese, oatmeal, rice, soups, and a lot more depending on the package.
Emergency food kits come in a variety of denominations meant to feed you and/or your family for a certain amount of time. Such packs of food consist of prepared foods that can be easily prepared to suit any length of time. Some of these kits can provide food for you to use for one day, and some emergency meal kits can feed you and your family for even four weeks to a full month and even longer.
Should You Invest in Emergency Food Kits?
For one thing, emergency food packs are not meant to be your entire meals for the day. They were meant for if you are unable to go to the store to buy food after something like a power outage or flooding. Emergency food kits can be a great investment for when you will be out of electricity and/or running water for quite some time.Prices for these kits depend on how long the pack is meant to service you. In my research of this topic, I saw one retailer sell an emergency food kit for one day sell for about $30 USD. An emergency meal kit meant to last for three days sold for almost $70 USD. As a final example, a one-month supply of an emergency food kit sold for $279 USD. I also found one company offered a full year's worth emergency food kit for an estimated $1,960 USD in my research of this topic. So you have a full range price-wise and package-wise for the emergency food kits you wish to buy. You can purchase an emergency food kit at most grocery stores and many retailers. Home improvement stores also offer these kits.
It helps to buy an emergency food kit to suit the needs of you and your family. You may not know when you might need having an emergency meal kit for feeding after disaster or other circumstances, but it is nice to know you can be fed in the wake of such times with an emergency food kit.
