Review: DATREX Emergency Food Ration Bars for Disaster or Survival

Gear Know-How, introduces a unique and practical product that can be useful for emergencies, such as being stuck in the wilderness without access to food or water. The product is a set of emergency food rations and drinking water by Day Trex, which can be purchased directly from Amazon. The products are sealed in vacuum packs and are approved by the US Coast Guard as well as SOLAS. The food rations have a shelf life of five years, and each package has a manufacturing and expiration date stamped on it. The package of emergency food rations contains 12 bars, each with 200 calories, making a total of 2400 calories. The package comes with instructions in different languages on how to open and consume the bars. The reviewer mentions that the bars should be eaten one bar every six hours per person, in small pieces. The emergency food ration and drinking water can be handy for emergencies, such as for boats, RVs, overlanding trucks, or any situation where someone might get stuck in the wilderness.

Gear Know-How points out that the emergency food rations and drinking water are better than digging out ketchup packets from under a car seat. Moreover, the food rations and drinking water are straightforward to store, and the reviewer suggests storing them in a sealed container and changing them out every five years.

The reviewer also gives a personal anecdote about how they first found out about the product ten years ago. They used to live in New Hampshire, where there are remote parts in the woods that can take a couple of hours to reach. The reviewer used to go camping in these remote parts and always carried a few packages of these emergency food rations and drinking water, just in case they got stuck in the woods without access to food and water.

Finally, Gear Know-How opens one of the packages of emergency food rations and tastes it for the viewers. The bars are made of wheat flour, vegetable shortening, palm oil, cane sugar, water, and natural coconut flavoring. The reviewer notes that the bars are crumbly and taste similar to graham crackers, with a hint of coconut flavoring. The bars are straightforward to eat and would be useful for backpacking or as a snack. The reviewer then opens the drinking water package, which contains about four mouthfuls, or about 4.227 fluid ounces. The reviewer notes that the water is good and has a hint of a taste.
