 Convenient, easy and flexible March 11, 2009

The thing about being prepared for an emergency of any type is to be flexible. You don't know if you will have to evacuate, or lay low for a while. This emergency drinking water is great because it gives you flexibility. Need to get away for just a few days? You can grab a few of them and add them to a bug out bag or throw the whole box in the trunk of your car.
The packaging is durable and can take a lot of abuse like in the bottom of a back pack.
High shipping, but higher cost of being unprepared. February 2, 2010

This is in response to T. Vadney who said that during a disaster there is usually water, it just needs to be filtered. This all depends on your area and the nature of the disaster. In a city, it's possible that there may be water, if emergency services have not used it all for fire fighting or shut off most pipes due to breakage and leakage. In some cases (Earthquake, Tsunami) all water can become contaminated with sewage, in which case you better be sure your filtering can handle all those forms of contamination (charcoal filtering is NOT enough). Also, you sometimes must leave a disaster area and move to a safer area, in which case water may not be available en route and you do not know what the situation is at your destination. Many water purifiers (MSR MIOX, STERIpen and others) require time to purify 1-2 litres of drinking water, and if you use two forms of purification (my choice), you need double the time, and time is a luxury you don't always have in a disaster situation. Clean drinking water in pouches that you can use until you get water filtered, or you get to the FEMA shelter, or the fires die down, or you get to Grandma's house in the safe area is not a bad idea! I don't advocate having a months worth of water in pouches, but to have emergency water to use until you get somewhere safe and can secure water that you can then use your purification system on is much better than just waiting and hoping. Also, wounded people may need water sooner to either drink and/or clean wounds, and you can NOT use filthy water for that if you expect them to live. Just something to think about for those of you doing some planning! :-)
Great product to have around February 9, 2008

I have not tried this product because I am reserving it for an emergency.
However, I love the way it is packaged. I love that I can keep some packages in my car without having to worry about whether the temperature in my car gets warm. I love the fact that it has a 5 year shelf life.
I may or may not need to ever use this product but for the price, it is going to give me some peace of mind knowing that I have emergency water
in my car, at my workplace and at home and I have plenty if I have to share it with others. Everyone should have this product especially because bottled water should not be stored in an automobile.
Great way to store rations January 8, 2010

It's emergency water in durable foil bags. If that is how you wish to pack away some survival supplies, it's perfect. (Great for car, cabin, backpack) 5 Year shelf life, expiration dates stamped on the bags. Helpful instructions on how to ration water printed on each bag.
Great water supply!! February 10, 2010

I mainly brought this water because of the temp range, I didn't want my water spoiling or bursting in extreme temps.So far I've had it in my "OMG" bag in my truck in as cold as 1 degree and it wasn't even frozen?? I'm not saying this is typical results but I unzipped the bag and the pouch wasn't frozen! Yes three days of water is a lot to carry around but it'll be worth it during a situation.They say 1 pouch (8oz) is one days worth,but I go with atleast 16oz and that's because anymore would be crazy heavy! Other companies have kind'a the same stuff but without the temp guarantee.For my money I'll go with this as well as their 3600 cal bars.
