Like your idea to make the bucket an even more robust kit. I’m glad it’s good. I have some to taste test, they actually only sent me the oatmeal and pasta, the real hard to mess up ones, lol. They are more expensive than some other brands, but as you said, the ingredients are good. Thanks for the honest opinion.
yeah there is plenty of space in the bucket, would be easy to do
Thanks for doing this! I did some private, non-TH-cam tests of some Rainy Day dried products that turned out to be inedible.
unpalatable would be more accurate
@@marko11kram If we're talking actual survival, then sure. But certain dried vegetable items could not be rehydrated. No amount of soaking or heating could remedy the situation. I felt like I was choking down dried chunks of caulk or Liquid Nails, and my bowels were in an uproar later. So if we want to speculate about risk of self-inflicted injury in a SHTF scenario, these considerations are practical and necessary.
There's no meat in there? So where's the protein? And if there is any protein where is it derived from?
I challenge you----- Do a two week stint on eating nothing but something from this, or any of these survival buckets.
Much like The Urban Prepper did a few years ago with the ration/lifeboat bars.
AND cook them using fuel / stoves from your preps
and do a daily vid on how it goes
This would be a worthwhile challenge. Better to find out now if there are any unexpected health risks or unanticipated fuel costs to surviving on a survival-food item.
not a good idea. He will get very sick eating just these meals. They are not a diet replacement.
@@PlasmaBurns Either one is able to survive on this stuff or not. Better to find out now if you can or cannot survive on it.
@@HandgunSafe You can survive, meaning you wont starve but...its not exactly healthy food. Its calories, not nutrition.
@@PlasmaBurns I was going to let this go, but you're wrong and I need to clarify it for you since you don't understand the nature of these food items. All of these food items come with nutrition labels. As far as I know, it's the law. And this means that one can most definitely calculate whether one is taking in the necessary nutrition one needs. These preparedness food items are intended to be more than merely calories.
Thank you for taking the time to review our product!
Having more than 1 or 2 servings per pouch is problematic. The one with 10 servings in the pouch, how are you supposed to store that after the fact your open it? How long with that pouch contents last after it's open?
I pretty much ignore all 'servings' and just go by calories, and in that case the pouches are really just normally 2 meals.
The pouches reseal like a ziploc, So with dry goods like this there is no reason why you can't just leave it in the pouch for at least several days
Seems like it takes a lot more energy (and attention) to cook when you compare it to pouring some hot water in a bag of Mountain House. Unless it is way cheaper than MH, no thanks.
I agree, but I use a pan with my MH (actually ALL) freeze dried meals. For me, eliminating the taste of Mylar from my food, makes it immediately more palatable. More labor intensive, yes, but tastier
@@manofthetombs plus the mountain house is never ready by the time the bag of food and hot water cools down
@@Captainslamomma True! Seriously, I thought I was just a picky eater, but you are right!
I havent found any food storage products that taste good. They all seem to have a bland chemical taste. The good news is since almost all of these products are made within days or weeks of you buying, (high demand, moving product) it means you get the full 20+ year shelf life and dont have to worry about buying something thats been sitting on the shelf for 2-5 years.
Funny, I got 5 of their buckets awhile ago and just picked 1 meal to try and I picked the chicken teriyaki myself lol. Yup it was good with the pineapple. Who knew....
haha nice, it just sounds good I guess.
I wanted to order the sampler pack of Valley Food Storage in order to test things out. I liked that it was pretty cheap to get a test run, but ran into problems. As I was ordering, their were multiple upsells that I wanted to avoid. I clicked decline on one and when I got to the next screen, I was met with yet another upsell. Though, this upsell didn't have an "Add this to your order" button. Instead, it said, "Complete this order." And, being late and just going through the motions, I didn't realize it was a different item. The pictures look the same so I just thought I was completing the order. No, I added another item and spent more money...
I was annoyed, but it happens. Within 10 minutes of placing the order I requested a cancellation cause it just didn't sit right with me and felt a little deceptive. No harm though. Just cancel and move on. No big deal. The rub, and why I am now posting on this video is cause I get told that I couldn't cancel because it already shipped and that in order to avoid charges I had to go through the hoops of denying delivery from DHL. So now I am annoyed that I not only couldn't just avoid this whole debacle, I have to also jump through hoops for it.
Just a terrible, deceptive, and hassle of a customer service experience. I'm sure that the food might be alright, but I don't want to find out. Good luck to anyone else who orders through them.
A verry SMALL * bucket and half full it looks, hmmm? value maybe not good ?
You ought to do more taste test, like legacy, auguson farms, nutrient survival, makes a good vid anyway. The reason you want to call it green valley is, the cover color is green an its valley. An we both know Green Valley ranch, used to be one of my favorite casinos, till I left Vegas an retired last yr from there. Thx for the vid Eric
ha yeah I was gonna say, I'm sure its because of GVR, the casino
oh and I did a legacy taste test a few years ago, its on the channel
its a good idea to keep your freeze dried food in a sealed plastic container, that way if you get mice or rats they can't eat your food
I also learned you can get very sick eating just these meals. Apparently these are for 1-3 meals a week or something very low like that, not supposed to be a 3 meal a day replacement.
I'm sure that can happen with some of the companies that put a ton of preservatives and cheap ingredients, but why would somebody get sick from eating anything in these? Unless they are allergic to an ingredient or something.
Life after prepping. When the storm passes. We need to find out the truth. My soul wants to know why we needed to prep in the first place.
Valley Food Storage varies the types of meals it puts in those food buckets, and this is why they do not put a contents label on the buckets. Only when you open a bucket will you know what specific meals they put in there. There are certain types of instant meals that I do not like (cream of wheat and chili mac) so I would never take a gamble getting a disliked and expensive meal. If you are less fussy than me about the type of meal, then this would be a fine bucket of instant food to have.
Most instant meals from food storage companies lack enough meat and non-starchy veggies. If you want real meat and enough veggies in your instant meal, go with pouches of Mt. House meals. You could put a #10 can of freeze-dried meat or green veggies in the bottom of that Valley Food Storage bucket and still have room to add the bags of the instant food. This would give you a better amount of protein or dietary fiber. Plan on boosting the calories of a "serving" of one of these instant meals with the addition of separately cooked rice, pasta, oatmeal or homemade bread. I aim for 667 calories or so per meal in order to get 2000 calories per day during a disaster.
I got this email saying something about 45 servings for $50 from Valley food, so I was just wondering if it would be worth buying that stuff. I Love Teriyaki chicken, but I prefer my pineapples in a fruit bowl instead. So I would probably taste test something I enjoy. Maybe chicken ala king would taste okay for me, isn't that just chicken pot pie without the crust?
Oh I guess that was $50 off, not $50 for the kit. It's actually $79 instead of $129. Well, maybe another time since I have a bit of a tight budget right now.
Ok, fair enough. I will go to their website. Thanks.
Try to save some pouches and pop them in your mouth in 3 years, then some in 5, and some in 10, eh?
Whether you do that or not, can you note the storage temperature. How many estimated hours are they under 20 F in your garage ... how many over 110? That wouldn't have to be a harsh chore; just do an estimate based on daily highs and lows at each year end.
I don't store any food in the garage, it definitely gets too hot for that out here.so none of my food is ever tin temps over 80 or under 50
Appreciate the review! Thank you.
There's no meat in this product. I would not buy it. In my opinion it's fake advertising calling it chicken teriyaki when there is no chicken. Thumbs down 👎🏾
@@Captainslamomma Excellent point
I like the variety of choices.
Hail Heemeyer
You could add a can of chicken, perhaps?
4 sure yeah, and that is definitely my plan when it comes time to eat my stored food, whether its just rice or a premade meal like these is to add more meat from my canned stuff.
Nasty grub and the bags they use are thin and easily compromised
which one(s) did you try? The one I ate was pretty damn good, "no cap" as the kids say
you are doing a review, it should be said if good or if it sucks. I watched your channel for that info on a honest review
did you even watch the fucking video??
Thanks for a honest review!
