Serving sizes very hugely between brands. Some serving sizes may only be 1/3 or 1/2 a cup where other brands are more realistic at 1 cup or more. So that 12 servings may be 36-48 servings of a different brand.
Survival buckets usually use small servings because they're marketed as minimum size needed for emergencies. Hiking brands are geared more towards portion size to fuel a long hike.

For the fruit and veggies bucket, it's only 3,300 calories per bucket. So a day and a half of the energy you need. This is really to supplement an already existing stockpile or emergency food supply with something akin to 200 calorie snack bags to 'mix things up' and get some fiber in. Still, I prefer packaging my own emergency food. Raw ingredients (sugar, salt, spices, pasta, beans, oats, dried fruits, dried milk, sugar, etc etc) in mylar bags or canning jars. Much more economical

These are very carb heavy. I prefer Mountain House. They have actual protein (as in real meat) and tastes better IMO.

Example Deals:
I don't get what the point of these are. Not enough calories or the right packaging for backpacking; pointless for preparedness. For carrying on your back, wait for one of the regular Mountain House sales ( https://slickdeals.net/f/16914718-50-off-number-10-cans-and-30-off-pouches-of-mountain-house-freeze-dried-food?src=SiteSearch ) For emergency preparedness get canned fruit and vegetables. Vaccuum sealing dried beans, rice and grains (with microwaving or freezing to kill off any bugs) last a long time why pay the big premium?

In for one of the veggie and fruit buckets. This stuff is nice to sprinkle into more boring foods.

During apocalypse, you probably need more carbs to survive longer. Carb is the primary source of energy. It is more efficiently absorbed by your body and not waste much.

This product lists 20 calories of apples as a serving...

Based on that, and the girth of a typical American, they should rename this product to "6 Servings Of Fruits and Vegetables"

It's almost as if you cannot conceive of any possible emergency scenario where one might need to grab a few easily portable supplies and evacuate on short notice. Allow me to introduce you to the words "hurricane", "wild fire" and "flood". See also "current events".

I always figured that if shit truly hit the fan, prepping would only prolong the inevitable death, and death would be preceded by crappy food and sustained terror.

I'd rather be in terror and not starving
for as long as feasible. To each their own I guess

I bought 2 of these a while back, tried to eat them, and I could not swallow it. The worst part is that I am not a picky eater. I'd try to eat anything, and 99.99% I would eat them. There are only 3 things that I do not like: Poi, steamed stinky tofu, and this. Mountain House is so much better in taste than this, I actually enjoy eating them but their price has gone up through the roof. Try before you find out that they are not edible.

If you're in a situation where there is no other food and you're extremely hungry, this will still probably taste like a gourmet meal.

Speak for yourself, my wife and I are not Tinfoil hat wearing doomsdayers, but having lived through Hurricane Katrina, Ida, Laura and others over the past 4 decades, we decided to prep. We have a 10 year supply of food, which we ordered for only $3200 around 2 years ago. It has a 25 year shelf life, but its stored in a dark temp controlled workshop, so it would still be good for many years after expiration. If it ever gets close to expiring, we will donate it and purchase a new supply. Might be overkill, but the world is a bad place and you never know.

We also purchased enough radiation tabs to survive after a nuclear fallout. Cost about 50 bucks. We have Sawyer water filters, enough for about 30 years. Cost was around $70. I'm a hunter, so we always stocked up on ammo. If nothing ever happens, I'm fine with that. If it does, we won't die a horrible death of starvation. If food runs out after 10years and no animals left to hunt and mankind did not recover and we can't grow anything ourselves, which is unlikely, but we'd drink the kool aid at that point.

I agree with you that having food is better than having none. All I am saying, I'd pay more for better food, so I don't have to be miserable when the time comes. If you like wise stuff, then more power to you. After trying a few different wise food from my storage, I will not eat or buy wise products ever again. I also hate to waste any food when it is about to expire.

Funny, the ReadyWise 104 Serving Fruit & Vegetable Bucket is only 3320 calories for the WHOLE bucket. So enough to get by for a day and a half.

It seems to me you could pack more calories of freeze-dried fruit in a bucket than that. The portion sizes are only 32 calories each on average.

I eat a whole food plant-based diet so I eat way more beans, veggies, fruit, etc. than the average, but freeze-dried peas, corn, and broccoli does not sound appealing at all. Too bad, I liked the idea when I saw the title...
