Datrex Emergency Water Packet 4.227 oz - 3 Day/72 Hour Supply (18 Packs) , White

I've bought these Emergency Water Packets multiple times now, from different sellers and deals, and they've always arrived in perfect condition, no leaks. These 4.227 oz packets are great for emergencies. They're compact, easy to store, and individually packaged, so there's no waste. The water tastes clean, and the packets are durable. Plus, they have a 5-year shelf life and are approved by multiple agencies. I highly recommend them for any emergency kit. This review represents my personal opinion and experience with this product.

Used for food storage

I can't say much about these except that they got here quickly because we bought these packets, along with some food bars, for our emergency supply backback. We replaced expired water and food. We keep enough emergency food and water for 3 days in case of a catastrophe. I hope we never have reason to use them, but if we do, they are here. BTW, the whole collection of them is surprisingly heavy.

This is the second 72 hour Datrex emergency water packs I’ve purchased over the last couple years. They do come with instructions on how much to consume the water in an emergency situation. Just be realistic if you are in a life or death situation! Anyway, one of my older packs sprung a leak at the seam and I believe it’s possibly from pressure that forced the water to weaken the seal over time so keep that in mind when storing or packing them into emergency kits. Since the pack that sprung a small leak would need to be discarded I gone ahead and opened it and consumed it. The water did taste good and kind of had a “silky” texture, like “FIJI” bottled water. If you don’t know the “texture” I’m talking about then buy yourself a bottle of “FIJI” and you’ll see the difference compared to other bottled water. Very pleasantly smooth is my description. The only downside was the expiration date which is supposed to be 5 years shelf life but, already lost 9 months from the time of manufactured and upon receiving the packs. This doesn’t mean I won’t purchase more but just a little disappointing. Pros - compact packs easy to store and tastes pleasant. Cons - packs can leak if not careful and expiration date can be iffy. Other than that I like them and does help with emergency roadside kits if on long road trips or just to keep a box or two for “just in case” emergency situations.

Using these for our emergency Go bags. They came close to the manufacture date, which means we will get almost the entire five years before expiration.

Good tasting, secure packets, a must for anyone who wants to prep for emergencies. This is my second order and I love the brand.

Size is manageable for packing multiple in an emergency backpack without taking up excess space or adding too much weight. Quality of water inside is good.

It's perfect for my bug out bag.
