I just bought 2 Augason 48 hr, 4 person bucket at Walmarts (about $20) for Christmas presents. Since my family gets that glazed look when I say "prepare or prepping" I'm calling them Covid Lockdown buckets. I'm glad you opened them. I haven't receive my order yet and wonder how they were packaged. I wonder if they are ok for people allergic to nuts. I may have to call Augason on that. Good video!
Generally if you are allergic to wheat or dairy, have celiac disease, or are lactose intolerant, the buckets aren't a great option. I'm not certain about soy content or nuts. There are some companies that make allergy-friendly buckets (gluten free, dairy free, etc) but they're pretty pricey.
You could put a couple of one gallon ziplock bags in the bucket with the food envelopes for future use. That way, if you open a mylar package and use only part of it, you can roll up the remainder in the mylar and double bag it in the ziplock so it will stay fresh for short term storage. The ziplock bags aren't necessary, but it makes it neater and easier and, even if you don't use them for the above use, having a few ziplock bags at the ready in an emergency situation will come in handy.
I am glad you mentioned allergies. People with any nut/peanut allergies need to be very cautious of the long term foods. I've contacted quite a few companies about the nut issues. Most of them aren't peanut/tree nut allergy safe :( Makes it hard to get long term food for my niece and nephew. I have been considering my own freeze drier to make long term foods I know they can use.
I keep some of these kits inside my coat closet and ready to load into my truck or Jeep if we have to evacuate in a hurry. If you store a box of Zip Lock bags next to your 72-hr. buckets and take that box with you, you will be able to store any opened Mylar bags inside a Zip Lock bag.
I have a gallon zip bag folded and stuffed between the metal and plastic lids of #10 cans in case of having to grab and run, so we don't have to worry about forgetting bags.
Great ideas I need to do that I have the bug in but not the bug out!!! You could cook in a hotel room all you need is a microwave and water from the sink! You can use the refrigerator at the hotel to preserve the meals or as you say divide up and use each day.
@@livingintheforest3963 If you travel with a small cooler chest, you can get free ice from the motel ice machine just in case your room does not have a small refrigerator. An electric skillet can cook all sort of food, such as pancakes and bacon, in your motel room if the room does not have a microwave. Or you could buy a small microwave and bring it with you when you travel. You can also cook while driving across country. Just get a small slow cooker that plugs into the cigarette lighter and has a lid held in place with a bungie cord. Or that lunch box size heating box that also plugs into the cigarette lighter. Just wrap a sliced luncheon meat and cheese hoagie in foil and put it inside the heating box and drive away. You can find either kind of appliance at truck stop stores. An electric tea kettle can be used to make tea, instant coffee, hot cocoa or Ramen noodles in your motel room. Just be sure to have plenty of small trash bags and tidy up thoroughly after every meal.
WOW !!! Thank you i did not know walmart had that , i only have retirement so i can get one bucket a month , AWESOME !!! Lol thanks again , continue to stay safe , God Bless
Once upon a time ago I purchased mountain house 72 hr kits as well.. most of the meals have freeze dried meat in them (chicken, beef, etc). very handy for hiking, hunting, power outage (they sell little power rocket cook stoves to heat water), lockdown, natural disaster etc...
These are great, just make sure you have a 5 gallon water jug/container too. Also as of 2020 they have been substituting Honey Crystals for the Banana chips. Nice part about the 72 hour kits is that you can ration/extend the portions to last one person for a week if necessary.....
Hello Alaskagranny. Hope you are doing well. I have a closet full of Augason farm foods but I have not tried any of them yet. Thanks for sharing this video.
I saw 2 of these at the Wal-Maet I frequent but decided to leave them for others. I was more interested in other foids. I already have a couple of these in my long term food supply
We keep a small (7 cuft) freezer filled with MRE main meal entrees (meat loaf - Beef stew, etc.) for helping out those in need or for bartering. We also have several cases of MRE heaters to go with the chow. Nice thing about the MRE entree is that it doesn’t need water added.
I can’t do all the dairy in these kits unfortunately. I bought an expensive 4 day kit a few years ago without closing looking at the ingredients. I wouldn’t expect oatmeal and chicken noodle soup to have dairy. I’ll save it to share with family or neighbors in a time of need.
I saw these at Winco, if you have one they were back by the bulk area at my store, for $ 19.99... Check Costco, mine still had those Emergency Essentials, for $59.99 retail value, is $197.00 so great deal.
I recently opened up my 72 hour Emergency food supply. The maple brown sugar oatmeal was NOT SEALED. As soon as I opened the bucket you got a strong aroma of maple syrup. Please check your emergency food supply.
Same thing happened to me. I purchased from 4Patriot Supply. The smell was overwhelming of maple. More than half of the different meals were a couple years old already. I bought the kits about 4 months ago. I contacted them & was told that I would need to ship back to them at MY EXPENSE. The cost to ship back was prohibitive! 4Patriot Supply is a rip~ Off, DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. They play off your fear saying “Hurry!!, these sell out fast and we’re not sure when we’ll be able to get more” LIES~ If true, WHY were there so many packages of 2 year old MREs? Read the reviews from others that have same problems on Instagram
@@agamum1 i’m so sorry this happened to you. Yes I agree they are big rip off. I decided to make my own emergency supply kits. I purchased mylar bags sealed with beans, Pasta, dehydrated egg powder, potato shreds, canned meat, salt & pepper packets. I went to my local Walmart and got free icing buckets. I’m giving these out as Christmas gifts for my family this year.
My Walmart carries these but they are 72hr 4person kit for 19.98. I bought 2 of them. They are a good price and this is the only auguson product mine carries. We do have the mountain house products in individual bags and those are pricey but I get a few when I shop.

First time here. Nice review! If I may, you talk to the camera ie. Audience as if you are a teacher. Please try to talk like you are talking to a friend.
I am new to prepping. I am seeing a lot of stuff on what to avoid. Is Augason Farms good stuff? I have two 30 day buckets so far and can order more. I am not muck of a cook so just adding hot water seems more for me. I am nervous I as seeing other channels saying to avoid food buckets because the quality is poor. Any reviews on the emergency food tablets and emergency ration bars?
Wauwatosa and Brookfield walmarts sometimes have the buckets but one store keeps it with bulk stuff like hot cocoa and the other hides it on a bottom shelf behind a pillar. Never usually see more than one out there at a time.
@@pattenus Probably not much, to be honest. The draw to it is the shelf life of 20-30 years. Buy one now and again, check and make sure the bags inside are intact, then shove it in a closet and forget about it. If you are looking at more short-term storage (2-3 years), canning is your best bet, alongside with shelf-stable items such as rice, dry beans, pasta, etc. And of course deep freezing is excellent, but some people are concerned about power outages, which is understandable, so having a good combination of storage methods is a good idea.
Great video. I think diversity in prepping is good so we have a few of the but the majority of our food prep is storing what we might eat and rotating that out, with a focus on things that could be consumed and having means to prepare it.
This is nice but just looking inside the bucket is not real helpful in determining the quality and ease of preparation of the food. How much water is easy to determine as long as the label is accurate but how much energy to make it actually edible? That's a very key issue when you're SOL. How is the taste? Is taste really that important to non-descerning adults, especially those in a bad situation? No. But children and elderly people? Absolutely.
Sorry, but their 1 person, 72 hour kit isn't practical, especially if you're having to be constantly on the move. The 4 person kits at more practical, the odds of the food being completely consumed are greater.
Never been a fan of the premade kits. You're paying a lot for convenience and getting mainly simple starches in return. For the cost, you could buy much more real food that is shelf-stable, has better nutritional value and more variety.
Essa Boselin ~ You make a fair point---except that there are so many people doing NOTHING in terms of prepping!! (I'm talking about my own family here) Buying these simplified, pre-made convenient food stores is much better than nothing. And---you can't beat the shelf life aspect!

Nobody needs a food item that lasts more than 2 years. Why? Because we won’t be without food for 6 months let alone 25 years. This would be a great emergency item if your dumb enough to get stuck in a snow drift in the middle of nowhere. I could live for 5 days on a few cans of Spam and a pound of uncooked rice with a couple gallons of water, dried fruit easy. I continuously question the survival food industry. I won’t be alive in 25 years so I really don’t get exaggerated food shelf life ideology.
LOLZ. The idea is that it lasts in storage so you can take it out any time in the 25 years that there might be a food shortage or you personally need to use it, rather than common foods that have a much shorter shelf life and need to be continuously rotated. Much of it also prepares with just water so it's easier to cook in an emergency. If you're old like I am you don't need 25 years of storage life, but everybody isn't old and getting ready to kick the bucket rather than store it.
If I felt I knew what I was doing, I’d rather customize my own bucket. Although I don’t have a lot of time, I remember really enjoying preparing for a flight I had and I prepared some enjoyable foods in a vertical bento box. Sure, that wasn’t for long term storage. But, I enjoyed breaking into a personalized stash and, others on the flight, including the flight attendant, seemed to want to have some, as well. When I later thought about it, I don’t know how I got it on the flight actually.
Love these Augason Food kits, juts finished up a video on them also. They make great gifts too. Great Video ! *Love and Light to you ALL.*

Nice! I did'nt know that they made the one person kits. That's good to know. Thank you!
Thank you for opening up the bucket. I have a couple, it's nice to see inside.
Thank you for sharing all sorts of different ways to prepare, the more ways the better! I appreciate you!
This is the sort of thing I wish we had more of in the UK. There are a couple of versions, but they can be expensive, or very limited in variety.
I didn’t realize they had a one person kit. My Walmart had a 4 person kit and when I couldn’t find anymore of them I got more online.
Hi, Walmart sells 1 person kit on there web sit or the App
WOW !!! Thank you i did not know walmart had that , i only have retirement so i can get one bucket a month , AWESOME !!! Lol thanks again , continue to stay safe , God Bless
Try to buy this weekend~

Tried one a while back not too bad wit a little salt and pepper on it got a couple more for in case of another serious lockdown
I bought one online from Walmart. Plus I bought the lunch and dinner, bigger bucket here locally. I really like Augason Farms food.
Nice, you should have a great supply.
