Review 1 for Augason Farms 30-Day Emergency Pail
A review of Emergency food bucket for a month
,06/19/2013
By Chocodoggy ,

I must say that I was quite impressed with the bucket and how heavy it was. I have scene some others at different stores and was disappointed at how light weight and poor the food quality seemed. When this arrived, I couldn't believe how heavy the 6 Gal. pale was, its very heavy and looks like it would supply lots of calories for the month. Now I have heard that this dehydrated food doesnt have much in the way of Protein, but you can subsidize that by purchasing some black beans, pinto beans, stuff like that, which has lots of protein. I feel that if you had that along with the dehydrated food, it would work pretty well. I haven't tested my food yet, but like I said, very impressed with the size, weight and presentation of whats inside of the bucket, there are several pictures of the food and it looks pretty good. I will try some out this week and come back to do one more Review. So basically this was a review for how much food you get for 30 days for only $99 and for how well packaged it is and how nice the photo illustrations are of the food included! So far, I am really impressed by this company, Augason Farms. Also, you get a total of 1857 calories a day from this but like I said, you will also need to get some protein in your regiment which can be done with canned beans of various sorts from the store. You can keep canned food for probably as long as this is good for which is 26 years. Canned food will last much longer and if it goes bad you will know because the cans will start to bloat and bulge. Take Care hope this helped a little but like I said, check back in the next few weeks and I will also rate the taste of this food. TJ

It'll do, but inspect it when you receive it.

The side of the pail was crushed in. I opened the pail to inspect for possible damage and was greeted by the scent of maple & brown sugar oatmeal. Oats and the powder that goes with it were coating all the pouches, although I did not find any opened pouches. Apparently happened during packaging at the factory.

A lot of extras for the price

Not your average size pail, it comes in a larger than average pail (bucket), about 25 lbs, well packed for shipping. Mine came with ready fuel sample and water bottle with built in filter which was not a motive to buy this product but a great extra feature. I mainly bought this food supply to mix up the menu from other food supplies I've purchased. I have NOT tried any meals yet but if and when I decide to I will update you.

I ordered this with the intent of using it, prior to an emergency, to see if the kids would like to eat what was included, and to get an idea of the amount of water needed to prepare the contents of an entire kit. If I am satisfied I will be purchasing three new Emergency Pails for the family to supplement the #10 cans of Augason Farms food I already have.
Look for me to be updating my review in a few weeks after we have had a chance to try out the meal planner. There is both a 30 day and a 45 day meal planner, I plan to try portions based on both ration schedules.
Shipping:
I placed my order on the 17th, I received my Emergency Pail on the 19th, when it had been scheduled for delivery on the 24th. Shipping is probably the most variable of all things for an online purchase, but based on my experience I would not expect unreasonable transit times for this product.

Packaging:
The 6.5 gallon Emergency Pail shipped in a heavy gauge cardboard box, neither the box nor the pail were damaged in transit.

Item Review:
I ordered my Emergency Pail on April 17th, 2013.
The PACKED ON date shown on the label for this pail is 04/15/2013, two days prior to the date I ordered it, four days prior to receiving it.
The BEST BY date shown on the pail is 02-12-2033.
---HOWEVER---
The individual packages have a manufacture date range of 02/13/2013 (for the Cheesy Broccoli Rice) to 03/29/2013 (for the Cheese Powder) and best by dates corresponding to the same days in 2033. So the best by date on the Pail is dated 1 day prior to the earliest best by date on an individual package.

So the best by date on the Pail is dated 1 day prior to the earliest best by date on an individual package.
The lid was a standard pail lid and took less than two minutes to open. The lid was the variety that has a pull tab for removing the material between sections allowing you to pry off the lid. I have had poor experiences with this style and so manually cut the material rather than pulling the tab. Other than the kitchen scissors I used to snip the plastic no tools or gloves were needed.
I would recommend you replace the lid that comes with the Emergency Pail with a Gamma Seal lid, which allows for easy opening and closing. Some Walmarts have the lids in stock, and they are available online at Walmart.com through ToolKing.com, however the price is significantly higher than when you find them at a brick and mortar Walmart. For colored lids I find the best price and availability are at Walmarts in Utah(where Augason Farms is located), when I drive through on vacation I stop and pick a few up, I have also seen them at Walmarts in Washington State, never in Colorado where I live however. Black lids I get locally at a national DIY chain, but only if I run out of those I bought at a Walmart while traveling.
Though I can see where the lid that ships with the pail prevents pilfering of supplies before the need for them arises, I would pay more for a pail that came with a Gamma seal or similar product on it for ease of use. Augason Farms sells empty Pails and Gamma Seals together as packages on Walmart.com so there would be no new inventory for them to bring into their network.
Other than a small rip in the meal planner there was no damage to the contents of the pail. I removed and inspected everything, no rips, no tears, there was what I assume was leaked product because of the smell of the dust, but I believe it came from manufacturing not any of the containers in my Emergency Pail.
I do wish that there was some flavoring for water included in the Emergency Pail such as the Orange Delight or Apple Delight drink mix they offer separately, the addition of some sort of hard candy would also be nice.

Shipping was excellent, with the Augason Farms 30 Day Emergency Pail arriving on the date they predicted. First order was received the day prior to their estimate.
I like this product because the carbohydrates are lower than some of the other emergency foods of this quantity.
Since I will only use this product during an emergecy, I'm not sure of the quality of this product. I have purchased two of these emergency pails and will probably order another pail so that I can use the food while camping and boating. This will give me a chance to determine the quality of the meals. I gave this product a good rating rather than excellent because I have not used or eaten the emergency products.

Review 11 for Augason Farms 30-Day Emergency Pail
Several of the packets had holes
,02/13/2013
By Wizzzard ,

I received the pail and it appeared to be in good condition externally. There was no damage to the shipping container or the pail. The lid was very difficult to remove because there is a plastic ring that has to be torn off, sort of like a zipper. This had to be cut with a knife. On opening the lid, I immediately smelled food and saw some powder on the outside of the mylar bags. The manufacturer claims that this food is supposed to have a 25 year storage and that it is either nitrogen flushed or has oxygen absorbers. Neither of these are any good if the bags are punctured. It appeared that the sharp edges of the bags had punctured the other bags. In all, 4 of the bags were leaking powder or other contents. This appears to have been a result of rough handling when the items were packed into the pail. I requested a full refund from Walmart, and to their credit, they issued a full refund promptly. I wouldn't buy any more of this item for the reasons stated. I haven't eaten any of it, so I can't comment on that.

While I have not opened the container, it is good to know that I have it in case of an emergency. It is not very heavy and, therefore, easy to transport in a hurry. Just throw it on the back of your truck or in the trunk of your car. I would recommend that everyone have an emergency supply of food these days. You never know what might happen!

Hard to give a real review, because I haven't opened it. But the water bottle with filter sure seems nice. Hopefully fire starter works good.
But I can comment on the shipping. Ordered on a Tuesday night. It was on my door on Thursday. So yeah, that was amazing.
I'm tempted to try this and buy another.

I bought one for me and one for my sister as we have been talking about prepping for an emergency situation for awhile. I opened mine when I got it to check it out. Maybe I was doing something wrong but it took me about 45 minutes just to open the bucket. When I finally got it open I took everything out to check it. There was a tiny hole in one of the mylar bags which was not a big deal because I wanted to try one of the meals. Pretty tasty but I wouldn't want to be on the diet in this bucket for too long. Mostly starches. That's okay too because now I can buy other emergency meals to have more variety. It is a great way to get started with any emergency plans you have for you and your family. Great price and fast, free delivery. Walmart undersold everyone again.

It IS for emergencies...

By Preppergirl3 ,

Bought 3 pails. REALLY DIFFICULT to remove lid. First pail had small rip in oatmeal, and 4 cheese powdered bags had leaks in their seal. Second pail had tear in oatmeal, and 2 cheese powdered bags had leaks in their seal. The third seemed ok. The bags felt powdery on the outside but I couldn't find what leaked. When repacking I removed water bottle and "fire round" to give food more room as it was obvious the items being compressed in the pail which caused the bags to open and the inside of the lid caused the oatmeal to tear as it is the top packed item. Items are sealed in some sort of non see through plastic bags. The oatmeal is in Mylar. Overall product packaging gets a 3 (barely). I can't rate te food as it was purchased for emergency and have not tried it. Wish the bucket had a "twist" lid instead of a "peel open" that took 2 people, pliers and a hand towel to protect my fingers. Don't regret purchase.. Price is good considering how much you get.. Can't re seal pouches once opened though except Mylar.
