Awesome review Billy, thank you!
Got to me quick, haven't tasted it yet
Not giving 5 stars because I haven't tried the food... It could be great ;). But got to me quick.... No issues with shipping, no other issues. So... No Complaints

Thanks for the review Candace. If you do get a chance to try the food let us know what you think! :)
Great selection of EP Products
Great selection of emergency preparedness products and speedy service. We especially appreciate the freeze dried and packaged food which can be stored for up to 25 years. This saves time inventorying our kits and reduces food waste!

Hi Gabriel, thank you for your review. We're proud we could help you to save time and reduce waste! If you're looking for a similar idea in water storage, consider checking out our Blue Can Water - it has a whopping 50 year shelf life.
For next time, is there anything we could have improved upon to make your experience 5-star?

Hi John! Thank you for the wonderful review! It was a pleasure chatting with you by phone and discussing the state of things. We hope to hear from you again in future. :)
Good prices
Good prices, selection, and fast service. This would allow us the convenienve of cooking the freeze dried food and canned meat on a backpacking trip right before it would expire.

Hi Elta! Great choice. We use our products camping and backpacking too and they're always a quick and easy dinner! Most recently we took the Backpacker's Pantry Pad Thai for a test hike and it was to die for! Easily the best food I've eaten from a bag (and I've tried more than most!) I would recommend it next time you're looking for something new for the trail. :)
Thank you for your awesome review!
Great service and fast shipping!

Thank you for your review Owen. We appreciate your patience while we dealt with an unexpected surge in MRE demand due to the increase in BC Wildfire activity. We hope you'll think of us again for any future MRE or preparedness needs so we can have the opportunity to 'Wow' you next time!
Great customer service and quick…
Great customer service and quick shipping but mre’s not being covered by the free shipping is a little disappointing especially since other companies offer free shipping or flat rate on their cases and their flate rate of 10 dollars was much more reasonable then the 25 it cost me but other then that I was very satisfied.

Hi David,
We're very glad we were able to help. Thank you for the excellent review! This is an unpredictable industry, so it can be difficult to know what stock we'll need and when. We're lucky to have awesome, understanding customers like you on the odd occasion when we guess poorly and there is a delay. Thank you again and have a great rest of your day!

Hi Andrea! Thanks for the awesome review. If you try any of them we'd love to hear your thoughts on how MRE Star and Meal Kit MREs compare. We've tried them in office, but it's always great to hear what our customers think!
Great service and shipping delivery.

Thanks Charlene! We've definitely slipped the chicken in family dinners that were "the best casserole ever" according to unsuspecting children and spouses. They couldn't believe it was emergency food!
