Augason Farms Emergency Food Supply Review and Taste Test

We tried the Auguson Farms Emergency Food Supply lunch and dinner meal kit with 92 servings in a 4-gallon watertight pail. Shelf life ranges up to 30 years. The food is pretty good food!

Love that this is a quick and concise video that's well lit, edited and shows the steps. Thank you so much for the info

[@FreshandFelicia]

Thanks for your comment! The food is actually pretty good. Working on a second video next week with more taste-testing.

[@TheScott240]

We cooked the creamy chicken flavored rice the other night as a side dish to regular food. It was actually good. I bought the lunch and dinner, breakfast, and the variety buckets. Along with these buckets, I'm adding my own, it will be filled with seasonings, Parmesan cheese, syrup, and other supplies that I see fit. That way I can make sure if something is bland then we can make it taste better.

[@FreshandFelicia]

Great idea Scott! The food is surprisingly good. Our kids just bought their second pail!

[@grantwilson9308]

These would be great for backpacking. Light weight and easy to prep while hiking or campaign. They look pretty darn good!

[@Ineeadifferentusernamelol]

If you have a stove or something to cook it in, yeah. It's not like top ramen or oatmeal packets where you can pour boiling water into the bag. That won't work here unfortunately.

[@paigemeckley346]

Used something like this last time I went camping. It tasted pretty good and was easy to cook but nothing amazing. I will say that this brand looks much nicer than what I ate. The food actually looks tasty! Looks perfect for meal prepping

[@FreshandFelicia]

We ate it for dinner all last week! It's actually really good!

[@paracop35]

Finally a video that just gives me exactly what I want the information and that’s it. Nice job.

[@FreshandFelicia]

We hate sales pitches too! Thanks for your comment. This food is pretty good!

[@FreshandFelicia]

We just learned they serve this stuff in some schools and a similar product on cruise ships!

We finished the bucket and ordered a second. Our kids bought one too for budget meals!

Thanks for the review appreciate.

[@u.s.militia7682]

I ate MRE’s & T-rats for 18 years in the Army & it wasn’t too bad. I’m retired & a prepper now. I stored many different brands of freeze dried foods & some aren’t bad. I think Mountain House is the leader in that industry. I also bought a home freeze dryer to make my own recipes & do experiments with it. Tonight I opened a pack of my mozzarella sticks that I processed in March of 2019 without oxygen absorbers being added to it. They’re perfectly fine. I know they’re expensive but try to get a home freeze dryer. It’s cheaper in the long run and you know exactly how the food was prepared without worry. My White Castle’s will be worth more than gold when the SHTF. Stay vigilant and exercise your 2A rights. 🇺🇸

[@FreshandFelicia]

Mountain House is the big dog in the business. Hearing good things about freeze driers! Any brand recommendations? And as long as the bad guys exist, 2A is completely necessary.

[@u.s.militia7682]

Harvest Right is the only company I know that makes home freeze dryers. I got a medium size one in 2019 and it’s worked perfect ever since.

[@behindthen0thing525]

S already htf and you're fine

[@joymccracken1939]

thank you!

[@erinfreeman1831]

I have never tried the Italian pasta but I have eaten the potato soup. I really like it! I actually cooked it multiple times. Thank you for the video

[@FreshandFelicia]

Erin the potato soup is sooooo good! I swear it's the same mix they use at [enter chain restaurant name here]. The pasta needs a little salt but was surprisingly good too. Honestly, we were shocked! Cooking dinner using nothing but what we have in the pail this week!

[@wilkinson6212]

Fine video. Thanks for the info

[@FreshandFelicia]

Thanks and you’re welcome.

[@grante3679]

Grrat video that's straight to the point.. I always looked into their product line but never pulled the trigger on it because I didn't know if they were actually good or not. New subscriber now. Great video

[@FreshandFelicia]

Thanks Grant! Try them for yourself and let us know what you think.

[@DorenesFoodPrepResource]

I love Augason Farm products.

[@FreshandFelicia]

They are surprisingly good!

[@joannestanley8478]

So glad you tried some augason meals. I bought that same pail. Saving it and now I know the food is good.

[@FreshandFelicia]

We bought two - one to eat, one to store. And the food is all pretty good!

[@dontall71]

You can use the empty buckets for container gardening. Drill some small drain hole in the bottom. put in a 2" layer of gravel, and fill the remaining space with potting soil

[@Thatswhatshesaid22]

Thanks for the vid

[@FreshandFelicia]

Thanks for watching!

[@yeboicel8126]

I was looking into these. Great review, also I hope you venture into voice overs. You have an amazing voice.

[@FreshandFelicia]

The food is surprisingly good! And thanks 🙏 much for your compliment. Fresh is the voice of Sirius XM!

[@leodanryan966]

The meals are not dehydrated, they are freeze dried. They will be just as good 30 years from now as tomorrow, provided you properly stored them.

[@FreshandFelicia]

True fact. Thanks for clarifying!

[@misscarolinekay477]

It’s cheaper to prep yourself and store in miler bags what you actually really enjoy eating

[@MikeMcclendon1377]

@@dom00000 lol... True

[@FreshandFelicia]

It is, but you'll need a vacuum sealer, glass or stainless steel containers, and a lot of time for best results. This is so much more convenient!

[@jackdaicole7595]

Cons I see is water and a way to heat it in a shtf situation so have to plan this

[@FreshandFelicia]

True, but humans have found water and made fire for tens of thousands of years. Stock up on flints or metal firestarters, waterproof matches, and water filters. We have a SHTF list on our Amazon affiliate store here: a.co/eSiDFRF

[@JOBdOut]

While it says 92 servings - how many actual pouches were in the bucket?

[@FreshandFelicia]

That's actually a great question and now I don't remember. Product description says "11 Varieties Of Entrées And Soups (Including Dessert), 92 Servings, 21,170 Calories, And 557 Grams Of Protein"

[@rosesavoy9035]

If you have a bit of dried parmesan cheese it will make a difference with the pasta and some or oregano.

[@FreshandFelicia]

Great idea!!!

[@Bio-D]

Did Felicia like the potato soup? That's the litmus test here

[@FreshandFelicia]

She actually did! Fresh doesn't normally do potato soup but he finished it off!

[@DaytonB685]

Wish they would do 1 package per serving, some people dont wanna cook 8 servings at a time

[@FreshandFelicia]

Not sure why this is. Completely agree - a lot of survivalists go solo.

[@zesticide1010]

Your Instapot removable pot would would on your induction stove.

[@FreshandFelicia]

Did not know that!

[@zesticide1010]

@@FreshandFelicia most electric pressure cookers are induction heated.

[@kathoyer1413]

Random question; what kind of mic are you using? I just watched your review of the earphone headbands and the mic quality sounded so amazing I had to Google you and ask! (Stalk much, Kat?) it could be that you just have that perfect radio voice but I suspect it’s a good mic too. (PS my exhusband works for Audio Technica so that qualifies me as a pseudo expert!) oh and I subscribed and liked because your reviews rock!

[@FreshandFelicia]

Thanks so much Kat! Using an EV RE320 through a Focusrite 2i2. Check it out here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnK7pmpta9Oems0

[@JustAlf87]

How long do you think a bucket would last 1 person? Think you could get a week out of it realistically without starving yourself.

[@FreshandFelicia]

you can't reseal most of the ingredients so that is a challenge. But if you're careful and you have a vacuum sealer you might be OK

[@Kmkilch22]

Excellent, fast, down and dirty review.

[@FreshandFelicia]

Glad you liked it!

[@MerrimanDevonshire]

So... Fiesta Pail renamed themselves? After the Tex treatment from the Black Pants Legion, I can see why.

[@FreshandFelicia]

Nonetheless, it’s decent tasting food in the event of a SHTF situation.

[@theonewhomjesusloves7360]

Would have been nice to see how you opened it

[@FreshandFelicia]

No you wouldn't. It was a train wreck. Scissors, pliers... the thing is sealed like Fort Knox!

[@DustyTrailCFDA]

I am FINE with adding my own salt etc. Most things have way too much salt for my taste.

[@FreshandFelicia]

better stock up on salt too

[@oneshotonekill2997]

How long will one bucket last?

[@FreshandFelicia]

depends how much y'all eat. problem is you can't reseal a lot of it

[@BRENT3143945]

Is it freeze died or dehydrated?

[@FreshandFelicia]

Auguson says they freeze dry. Freeze-dried foods retain about 97% of their nutrients, while dehydrated foods retain about 60-75%. Freeze-drying uses a low-temperature, vacuum process to remove water, while dehydrating uses heat, which can break down vitamins and minerals.

[@YedaYah762]

the real question is, does it have 30 days worth of food or u have to budget it out?

[@FreshandFelicia]

It's got 30 days worth of "caloric necessity," so truth is you'll need to do a little budgeting. No Golden Corral all you can eat buffet here, unless you buy multiples - which is what we did. We don't like to budget with growing kids!

[@YedaYah762]

@@FreshandFelicia im planning on buying 2 jugs a month until something pops off so i can have a go to when my canned food runs out, maybe every othr day. appreciate your feedback

[@FreshandFelicia]

@@YedaYah762 That's a perfect plan. Hoping we'll never need to use it, but better to be prepared. It'll store safely for quite a while.

[@beatmoralimprove]

Auguson Farms: Because plan A didn't work out, and plan B requires money.

[@FreshandFelicia]

And guns.

[@frenchietowerswevo2710]

like a survival situation ..?

[@FreshandFelicia]

It could be used for that, or if you’re a camper

[@francesthieme3943]

So you cooked all of it at once... That's not how those buckets work... Each package has X servings..

[@FreshandFelicia]

That’s the rub. You can’t reseal the individual packages so you kinda have to cook it all or it’ll spoil. Y’all best be hungry

[@KnivesSurvival]

I bet you that you will eat 30yo food in shtf

[@FreshandFelicia]

prolly not a world i want to live in but i get it

[@josargor8179]

oh no. i shoulda watched this before i bought mine. i thought they were in small packets

[@FreshandFelicia]

They are pretty big packets. We have a cheap vacuum sealer to keep the food we didn't use fresh.
