I recently ordered one of the emergency kits (Variety 2) to try out on a 10 day camping trip. I also ordered some extra granola as well as some of the other meals that weren't included in the box I ordered - Pad Thai, Thai curry and Bibimbap. The granola was okay the first time I tried it, better the 2nd and 3rd times. It would be nice if there was more fruit in it, but it was good and at 580 calories it was quite satisfying. The Mushroom Risotto was very tasty with a can of roast beef and extra fresh mushrooms added to it. The Cuban rice bowl was also good with sauteed onions added and some tamales on the side. I have yet to try the other meals. As with all dehydrated and freeze dried foods, extra water and longer waiting times improved the finish product tremendously. However, I was very disappointed with the Pad Thai, Thai Curry and Bibimbap. The Pad Thai and Bibimbap were so spicy hot to the point of being inedible. I can do spicy, but when your lips are burning and all you can taste is spicy hot, well, think twice about ordering those choices. So overall, some selections were better than others.
