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.

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!

I have used these in the past both in my military career and civilian life. These packets are designed to be frozen and thawed numerous times without damage to the content or package - I haven't found one yet that failed.These are great for your vehicle emergency kits - keep a whole case sealed up and they will always be there., other emergency kits that you may have, and as a short term cover during any crisis when you don't have water.The packaging is sturdy, but I still put them in a zip-top freezer bag "just in case" as you never know how many bumps and drops they may have to take.Price is right, you'll find these less expensive at other retailors, but when you add $15-20 shipping (because of weight) with PRIME you're covered and yo know what you're getting and when.These were packaged 4/20 and have an expiration date of 4/25 - which is normal for this product.
