I think these meals are a good value and get the job done when you're on the trail Review: Try out your food and gear! Great to replace the food in the 5-day backpack. - When I ordered the Wise 5 day backpack I took it outside and tried it out, and started eating the food over a period of 6 years. I bought this food pack to put back in the backpack. It's perfect for that. I just started using the whey milk from it today, both on some granola I had and in coffee. It's much better than non-fat milk and both were tasty with the whey milk in it. I used 2 TBLS for 3/4 cup and like that better. This food pack is better because you can put the water right into the package and seal it to rehydrate. I like it as much as Mountain House to tell you the truth. I plan to continue to eat the Wise foods from time to time so they don't get too old. ## Features - CAMPING FAVORITES KIT - Kit includes 18 servings of breakfast and entrees, just add water and ready to eat directly in the pouch - MULTI-USE READY TO EAT FOOD - Camp and survival food can be stored at home or in your vehicle for emergency situations or, individually wrapped pouches can be taken along on hiking, backpacking, and camping trips - 7 YEAR SHELF LIFE - With a 7-year shelf life, our emergency foods are designed to withstand the test of time, reducing waste and worry when maintaining disaster preparedness kits ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0182UAFYA | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #247,483 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #356 in Camping Freeze-Dried Food | | Brand | ReadyWise | | Brand Name | ReadyWise | | Color | Camouflage | | Container Type | Pack,Pouch | | Cuisine | Italian,Japanese,American,Asian | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 949 Reviews | | Flavor | Apple,Beef,Chicken,Cinnamon,Strawberry | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00851238005530 | | Included Components | Wise Favorites 72 Hour Kit 9 Pouches | | Item Form | Dried | | Item Type Name | emergency food,camping | | Item Weight | 4 Pounds | | Manufacturer | ReadyWise | | Model Number | 05-913 | | Number of Items | 9 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Package Information | Pack,Pouch | | Part Number | 05-913 | | Size | One Size | | Specialty | High Carbs, High Protein | | UPC | 851238005530 | | Unit Count | 14.9 Ounce | | Warranty Description | Manufacturer Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ReadyWise - **Flavor:** Apple,Beef,Chicken,Cinnamon,Strawberry - **Item Weight:** 4 Pounds - **Number of Items:** 9 - **Package Information:** Pack,Pouch ## Images ![Wise Foods Company Camping Favorites Cook-in-Pouch Freeze Dried Food Kit - Great for Backpacking and Hiking - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81w2088DeQL.jpg) ![Wise Foods Company Camping Favorites Cook-in-Pouch Freeze Dried Food Kit - Great for Backpacking and Hiking - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81aFurT673L.jpg) ![Wise Foods Company Camping Favorites Cook-in-Pouch Freeze Dried Food Kit - Great for Backpacking and Hiking - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XtOwS-wVL.jpg) ![Wise Foods Company Camping Favorites Cook-in-Pouch Freeze Dried Food Kit - Great for Backpacking and Hiking - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hCb17VDIL.jpg) ![Wise Foods Company Camping Favorites Cook-in-Pouch Freeze Dried Food Kit - Great for Backpacking and Hiking - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ta3iab6PL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Which meals does this come with?** A: 1 pouch of Creamy Pasta with Chicken and Vegetables 2 pouches of Apple Cinnamon Cereal 1 pouch of Strawberry Granola Crunch 1 pouch of Pasta Alfredo with Chicken 1 pouch of Teriyaki Chicken and Rice 1 pouch of Cheesy Lasagna 1 pouch of Chili Mac can Beef 1 pouch of Noodles & Beef in Mushroom Sauce **Q: Wise lists 2 servings per pack. Is this actually a one person meal in reality?** A: Yes a large serving , 190 lbs. 6ft11. More than enough. **Q: Why do these only have a 7 year shelf life?** A: I'm guessing it's because they are in mylar bags rather than something more stable/secure (like a metal can). We have had some for 10+ years that tasted just fine when we ate them recently. They had even been in extreme temperatures during that time (stored in the car for 72 hour kit)--summer temps 100° F + and winter temps below 10° F for months on end. I have kept ours in a small plastic tote to keep it clean and protected from tearing open. I can't speak to the food nutritional quality remaining all that time, but the taste/texture/appearance was just the same for me as the brand new packages we used at the same time. **Q: What is the inside lined with? I don’t like plastic** A: Most cans made from 1980 to present are coated with some type of plastic anyway. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tasty, filling meals *by C***Y on May 27, 2026* I've previously bought Mountain House meals to carry on my camping trips but their rise in cost made me look for alternatives.

Great to replace the food in the 5-day backpack. *by C***T on May 10, 2022* When I ordered the Wise 5 day backpack I took it outside and tried it out, and started eating the food over a period of 6 years. I bought this food pack to put back in the backpack. It's perfect for that. I just started using the whey milk from it today, both on some granola I had and in coffee.

Tasty and easy to prep but I prefer mountain house beef stroganoff. I always put less water (reduce by half a cup for the entire readywise package) than the directions state for both the MH brand and this brand because I prefer a thicker consistency. It’s not bad but I’ll stick with the other brand when it’s on sale. Readywise is much more cost effective/calorie if you are looking for a more budget friendly product. ## Frequently Bought Together - READYWISE - Favorite Kit, 9 Pack, Emergency Food Supply, MRE, Freeze Dried Food, Survival, Camping Essentials, Backpacking Meals, up to 15-Year Shelf Life - ReadyWise Adventure Meal Cheesy Lasagna, 2 Servings – Freeze-Dried MRE for Emergency Preparedness, Camping, Hiking, Backpacking, Survival Food, Long-Term Storage, and Disaster Readiness - Mountain House Biscuits & Gravy | Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food | 2 Servings --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/27079271-wise-foods-company-camping-favorites-cook-in-pouch-freeze-dried](https://www.desertcart.us/products/27079271-wise-foods-company-camping-favorites-cook-in-pouch-freeze-dried) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-23*
