My wife and I purchased a box of these to distribute among our bug out bags. We haven't tested one out yet to taste it but honestly we hope we never have too! Drinking out of a plastic packet doesn't sound all that romantic. On the flip side though I'm happy to have it. It looks like a great backup as far as water goes for either in your house, in your car, bug out bags and whatever else you can think of. So many of them come in a box and they are extremely reasonably priced in my opinion. You can distribute them among the various areas of your life just in case you come to a point where you need some water whether it's an emergency or not.Why you should:Nice and lightweight packets, very durable and strong, thick plastic. very sturdy to the point where I do not think anything less than deliberately cutting it with a knife with puncture it. They arrived quickly, packaged well and seemed like an extremely good value for money. We look forward to never using them!Why you shouldn't:There are many different brands of emergency water out there and while my wife and I found this one to be the best you may personally find a different one that you like better. There are also other options as far as emergency water goes such as filtration bottles, water tablets and so on. before buying these you may want to explore other options depending on your circumstances.As far as this purchase goes I am very happy with what we received and again, I look forward to never having to use them!

Great way to store "emergency" water in your B.O.B (bug out bag) or even to carry daypack water when you don't want to have to pack heavy amounts of water with you. Water, as you know, weighs approx 8 pounds per gallon. Are you sure you want pack That much water with you and have to carry it for what could be miles in a disaster situation...? This is perfect as a "SURVIVAL" water source, being that, in an emergency or disaster... Your access to any potable or any water source at all, may be in doubt and you may have to move quickly to a safe location, so it may be a while before you can locate a water source at all. This is NOT for your HOME STORAGE where you can store the recommended Gallon per person per day supply, this is a "save your life in a disaster away from your home", easily resupplied source of personal MOBILE water that doesn't require you carry any heavy plastic bottles with you that may leech plastic or other chemicals into your water as your storage location may experience heat or cold (IE. trunk of your car) and besides, plastic bottled water only safely stores for 6 months max at a time anyways. These well sealed packets are freezable and store easily in any Day Pack or A.L.I.C.E. or MOLLE pack. Of course this is to augment your water filtration system (lifestraw, etc.) in case you cannot find any water to filter...It's pretty much a NO-BRAINER. If you want to nit-pick over what water resources you provide for yourself, when disaster strikes what will matter more?... what you want will take a back seat to what will keep you alive. Keep it simple. Yes, you can put water into plastic bags (if you trust your ability and your equipment or bags not to leech or fail) but why bother with that when this, more-than-affordable, source of good-tasting, well-protected and Viable source of safe drinking water is at your disposal. It's safe drinking Water for Emergency to take/keep with you..., Don't overthink it.

Yes, the govt recommends 1 gallon per person per day, but that is NOT just drinking water. This includes hygiene and other uses for water.These packets are designed for SHTF scenarios where you need the absolute minimum amount of drinking water to stay alive. They are great for that purpose. Think of things like getting stuck in your car for 24 hours or more, hunting accidents while you wait for help, getting lost in the woods on a hiking trip, etc. You should always have a plan (water filtration, survival skills, etc), but these go a long way to help you survive when you have no other choice.The best part of these is their durability. I keep 6 - 10 in each vehicle all the time. They freeze, melt, re-freeze and I've never had a single one break open. I also keep these in my day pack and survival packs. The packs get tossed around, drop on the floor, hung in trees, etc. Again, not one broken pack. They are tough.As others have recommended, do not use these as your primary home emergency water supply, there are many more inexpensive ways to do that. If you are looking for an emergency water supply, not just drinking water supply, then yes, you need to look elsewhere.
