How long does the ReadyWise 7-Day Grab Bag last?

ReadyWise states a shelf life of up to 25 years when the Mylar pouches are kept dry and at stable temperatures. Store it away from heat and moisture to protect that window.

How many calories does it provide per day?

It supplies about 1,988 calories per day across seven days. That is close to but slightly under a standard 2,000-calorie target, so active adults may want extra snacks.

Does it need cooking or just water?

Most meals are just-add-water, but they need boiling water to rehydrate properly. Plan a stove, fuel or another way to heat water.

Yes, the kit is labeled gluten-free. Check each pouch's ingredient list if you have other allergies such as dairy, since whey is used.

How does it compare with a 30-day bucket?

It is far lighter and easier to carry but covers only one week and fewer calories per day. A bucket kit suits long shelter-in-place reserves; this bag suits grab-and-go use.

What is included in the bag?

Six-serving pouches of rice, pasta, macaroni, granola, multi-grain cereal and chicken-flavored meals, packed in a 10L Mylar dry bag weighing about 8 lbs.
