The ReadyWise 170 Serving Emergency Food Bucket is a grab-and-go kit of freeze-dried and dehydrated meals sealed in Metallyte pouches with a shelf life of up to 25 years. It holds 66 entree, 30 breakfast, 20 rice, 44 drink and 10 snack servings, about 30,820 calories in all, and each meal is ready in minutes with added water. It suits households building a pantry for storms, outages or camping, and it stacks and stores easily. Against rival buckets it wins on variety and pouch sizes that limit waste, but a large share of its servings are drink mix, so the calorie count per serving runs low compared with meat-heavy kits. Buyers rate it highly for packaging and peace of mind and flag the drink servings as the weak point.

Buyers rate the bucket highly, praising the sealed, well-packaged buckets, the meal variety and the peace of mind of having food stored. The main complaint is that orange drink mix counts toward the 170 servings, so the real meal count is lower than the number suggests. A few reported a ruptured pouch on arrival.
