1 Month Emergency Food Supply

One month of food. Two buckets. One less thing to worry about.

When grocery trips aren’t an option, knowing what’s for breakfast, lunch, and dinner matters. The ReadyWise 1 Month Emergency Food Supply gives you a practical starting point for preparedness, with familiar foods ranging from maple cereal and pancakes to cheesy macaroni, pasta, and hearty soup.

Both buckets together provide 62,540 total calories, enough for one person for 30 days at approximately 2,085 calories per day.

• Variety throughout the day: Breakfasts, entrées, rice, banana chips, and drink mixes.

• Built for long-term storage: Up to a 25-year shelf life under proper storage conditions.*

• No refrigerator space needed: Store unopened food alongside your other emergency supplies.

• Convenient packaging: Food comes in sealed, multi-serving pouches inside two buckets with carry handles.

Start your household’s food reserve or add another month of coverage to the supplies you already have.

*Shelf life depends on the individual product and storage conditions. Follow the shelf-life information on each package.

How Many People Will This Feed?

Plan your supply around the people who depend on it.

The “1 Month” designation applies to one person using both buckets together. Each bucket is part of the same month’s supply.

People	Approximate Coverage From One Bundle
1 person	30 days
2 people	15 days
4 people	7½ days

 

These estimates allocate approximately 2,085 calories per person per day. Actual needs vary with age, activity level, and other factors.

How many bundles should I buy for a month?

At this calorie allowance, plan on one bundle per person for 30 days. A two-person household would need two bundles; a four-person household would need four.

Can I supplement it with other foods?

Yes. Add foods that match your household’s preferences and dietary needs to create a more personalized emergency pantry.

No. The serving count includes individual portions of breakfast foods, entrées, rice, fruit, and drinks. You can combine portions to build meals. Use the bundle’s total calories when planning how long it will feed your household.

Are the foods individually packaged?

Foods are sealed in multi-serving pouches, rather than individual meal packets. Servings per pouch vary by item.

Dietary

Does this bundle meet my dietary needs?

Review the ingredient and nutrition labels for each included food before purchasing. Milk, soy, and wheat are common allergens in ReadyWise products. Do not assume this assortment is gluten-free, dairy-free, or suitable for a specific food allergy.

Is Whey Milk Alternative dairy-free?

No. Whey is derived from milk, so “milk alternative” does not mean dairy-free.

Where can I get help with ingredients or nutrition?

For questions about a specific recipe, ingredient, or dietary restriction, contact ReadyWise at 800-393-2570 or corporate@readywise.com before ordering.

Prep

Keep the food, water, and cooking supplies together in your plan.

Preparation varies by recipe. Follow each pouch’s directions for water amounts, heating, and preparation time. Pancake mix requires cooking, so plan for appropriate cookware and a heat source.

How much water should I store?

Allow approximately 21 gallons of water to prepare the full bundle. Store additional water for drinking, cleaning, and other household needs.

Can I use it during a power outage?

Plan ahead for a way to heat water and cook without your usual appliances. Keep suitable cookware, utensils, and a cooking method appropriate for your emergency setup available, and follow the equipment’s safety instructions.

Do I need to prepare everything at once?

No. The food is divided into separate pouches, so you can select what you want to prepare. Follow the individual package’s directions for handling any opened or prepared food.

Shelf Life

Build your reserve now. Keep it ready for later.

The bundle combines freeze-dried and dehydrated ingredients in sealed Metallyte™ pouches, with an advertised shelf life of up to 25 years under proper storage conditions. Check individual packages for applicable shelf-life information.

Where should I keep the buckets?

Choose a cool, dry indoor location, such as a pantry, closet, or suitable basement. Protect your supply from heat, moisture, direct sunlight, and temperature swings.

Does the food need refrigeration?

Unopened food does not require refrigeration. Once a pouch is opened or food is prepared, follow its storage instructions.

Can I store it in my car or garage?

For long-term storage, choose a location with stable, cool temperatures. A vehicle or garage that gets hot is a less suitable choice.
