the food in the bag expires aug 2020, its advertised to have a 5 year shelf life. the water also expires july of 2020. if the food and water truly at this date had a 5 year shelf life this bag would at best be used in the car. i was disappointed with the contents quality.
medications that came with it were expired. and the food and water has a 5 year shelf life starting in 2015... so i've lost 2 years. not happy about that purchase. the masks are of poor quality. otherwise, everything that was supposed to be included, was. the bag is a good size.
expiration date of package received was in less than 3 years, despite 5 years advertisement. others have had better luck, but this now requires a return--big waste of my time packing it back to the ups store. can't get more than one star when primary feature is compromised!
i bought this in 2012 and the food/water has since expired. all of these items are easy to replace. in fact, everything can probably be purchased separately at your local retail store for a lower per item price. however, this works as a great starting point if you currently don't have anything. the pros are that all the basics are taken care of. this pack has some of the most basic 3-day supplies that an average person would need. that said, this isn't a one-time purchase, set it and forget it item. if you have special medical needs, child needs, pet needs, etc you need to gut the backpack, get a decent backpack, and put these items in along with your other personal items. some items to consider adding to this would be some tools, knives, medications, clothes, water filter, radio, phone charger, etc. there are plenty of videos on youtube and plenty of articles to read online about surviving a catastrophic event. some are more extreme than others, so pick your most comfortable level of preparedness. again, this kit should be the base of a greater set of gear that should all be portable and easy to grab and go for a few days when the stuff really hits the fan. by the way, this backpack has been in my wife's car trunk for the past few years. i recently took it out to replace some of the items, and upon pulling on the zippers, they broke. the backpack itself is really not meant to last for very long. i exercise, but the way these snapped off made me feel like i had to check my post-workout drink for steroids.
