Questions

Can I pick the same pack more than once?

Yes. Add it again and it counts toward your eight.

When do I get the bucket and the discount?

At checkout, automatically: with 8 or more packs the 5-gallon Commander Bucket is free and the food is 10% off.

Will everything fit in the bucket?

Not every combination does — the builder says so too. If you’re unsure about your mix, call (800) 707-3526 and we’ll check it before it ships.

Can I use the ID.me discount?

No — build-your-own bundles are already discounted, so the military and first-responder 15% can’t be combined with them.

Emergency food storage buckets praised for great taste, nutrition, and convenience. Customers said "tastes good and packed full of energy" and appreciated the variety. Some noted meals can be bland without added seasoning, and a few mentioned concerns about sugar content. Quick prep time, long shelf life, and quality packaging highlighted positively.

  • Taste good and packed full of energy.
  • They were fluffy and hydrated well and taste great, like real fresh scrambled eggs.
  • I tried them for a couple days and I actually felt great.

First time customer

I have used freeze dried foods from other companies over the years . I can honestly say that the nutrient survival foods taste better and I feel better after eating them . I have been eating NS foods for one week now and there great ! I plan on stocking up for the future.

Thanks, Sarge! We're thrilled you enjoy the foods!

Nutrient Survival makes food storage easy

Nutrient Survival makes food storage easy, nutritious and delicious. That the 7 Day High Protein Emergency Food Bucket comes in a bucket that will keep the rodents out of my storage is a huge bonus for me.

Hi! Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you find our food storage solutions easy and effective. Stay prepared and healthy!

Thankful !

I couldn’t be happier with the basics bucket I received! It has the necessities to give me peace of mind. I am raising three small children and it’s truly a blessing to know if there’s an emergency or hard times this will be in the pantry waiting! Thank you Rudy and Nutrient Survival for your generosity! I have told anyone who listen this is a great resource for anyone looking to stock up!

Thanks, Cindy! And congratulations on your prize! We hope you and your family enjoy it and we appreciate the support!

I was quite impressed with everything included in this kit. The food I've tried so far has been easy to prepare and has been delicious. It comes in a black square bucket so it's easily stackable and keeps the water and light away from the food. I'll be buying more and adding to my supplies.

Good product with some flaws and suggestions

Second purchase so taste is good. Sizes are good. What could be better? Small list. When selling these buckets or packages list the min max water needed for that bucket. Also would be a neat sale if you folks made a setup with a cup and optional heater apparatus of some sort.

Cannot say if the nutrition claims are true, but have to have faith that they are. Also no way to know that the claimed 10 year shelf life is true since it’s variable based on storage techniques etc.

Overall I like this company….but really wish they would dial back the SUGAR is their products. They should let that be something the end user adjusts. I am on the hunt for a company that does just that and when I find them I might switch products.

Thanks, Joseph! Thanks for the water suggestion! I will pass it along. You can see from our Nutritional Fact Panels that the nutrition claims are indeed true. While the butter has a 10 year shelf life, the other products in the kit have a 15 year shelf life. Regarding storage, while extreme heat (cold is not a problem), would shorten the shelf life a little, there is not going to be anything that stands up to temperature shifts better than freeze dried food. These are intended to work well even when stored in cars. We have taken care to formulate our meals to stay under 9 grams of total sugar, and correspondingly, carbohydrates that are typically 10-15% of your daily value per serving. Our entrees tend to be the lowest but even our snack meals fall in this range. The carbohydrate and sugar content in Nutrient Survival foods is very low, making it an ideal choice for type 2 diabetics. The foods are made with natural ingredients, making them a great option for those looking to manage their blood sugar levels. Additionally, the foods are high in fiber, which helps to slow the absorption of carbohydrates and sugars, further helping to regulate blood sugar levels. All our products contain some balance of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins which some studies suggest are less likely to elevate glucose levels when paired together. Of course, consult your doctor for all your medical advice.

points

Hello,
I love the products and the mission statement. I don't like the way the points system works along with getting a military discount. I get it. you're in the business to make money but with that being said, even with all the "discounts" I can still get what I need cheaper on Amazon.
I would much rather buy from the company then give a dime to the bloated fish that is Amazon but at end of the day its all about money.
thank you for your time.

Thanks, James! I understand how you feel. There is far less overhead involved with selling products on Amazon, so we can have lower prices at Amazon as a result. When we sell products directly to people, there is much more overhead involved and so we have to charge higher prices. We try to offer discounts when we can, but this is the unfortunate reality of staying in business. We appreciate you and thank you for your service!

Excellent nutrition and taste

You may pay a little more for quality but rest assured these are worth it. This product requires only a few minutes of heating hot water. I tried them for a couple days to see how my body would react and I actually felt great. If you want instant, buy and MRE; if you can wait 5 minutes to cook, these are amazing.

Thanks for the great review, Damian! We're glad you enjoyed them!

Excellent kit as always

Nutrient survival is a company I’ve used since they started and their products are always excellent, shipping is quick and great, and they have a team of patriots. I use their products almost daily in some form and will continue too as well as keep some stocked for emergencies.

Thanks for all the kind words, Eric! We appreciate you!

Bad

Tastes awful.

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the food, Mary. Our food is densely packed with nutrition without any artificial ingredients, additives, or excessive sodium. So if you're used to the Standard American Diet of processed foods, it may seem bland by comparison. That being said, if you don't have any health concerns, you could add salt to taste.

Great deal! Chris is offering 15% off which is great! If you are on active duty or a veteran you can use a 20% discount offer when you verify through ID.me! Highly worth the discount which is what I did. I also urge all veterans to make an ID.me account to get great discounts on items like this!

Thanks for giving us a chance, Stephen! And thank you for your service!

Celebrating Heroes Bucket

These products are what Nutrient Survival claim them to be. Tasty, nutritious and most importantly they give me the peace of mind knowing that I have resources available to my family if and when needed.
Additionally, I do not know any of these folks at Nutrient Survival, but by simply reading the comments the CEO post regularly; This guy is a God-fearing Patriot, who loves his family and his Country. Just like me.

Thanks for the kind words, Stephen! All of us here appreciate you and are glad to have you in our Wolf Pack!
