Item Description

Mainstay is an emergency food product unlike any other. Just before it came into the picture, emergency food bars were only being made for brief-term use. Survivor Industries changed all that when it created a awesome-tasting, non-thirst provoking product with an extraordinary five-year shelf life. Mainstay is specially formulated for land-based high tension circumstances. Every package consists of 9 pre-measured 400 calorie meals, which allows a person to get their complete nutrition in a challenging situation.

Buyer Evaluations

If you are seeking for a product that has a extended shelf-life, is compact, and will deliver you will the sustenance you require in a survival situation, then this is it. I purchased some to shop in the pantry (about 3 weeks worth per person in the household) just in case we are held up in the residence for an extended period, such as would be the case in a zombie attack.

I purchased a packet of these for a lightweight and handy meal for packing in the woods. The taste is fine as advertised. This is not a 3 star based on this becoming just a snack, yet. They are survival rations, not just some type of nosh. I would not pick to consume these as a snack as they are rather dense, and regardless of claims to do make you thirsty just as eating anything bread-like will make you thirsty.
There is also an aftertaste that, although not robust, will make your mouth continue to taste the lemon-bar you just ate for as extended as it takes you to drink enough water to wash it down.
I would rather have an MRE, but the compact and portable nature as nicely as the cost tends to make this a beneficial item for extreme light hiking.
