About Datrex Emergency Water Pouch for Disaster or Survival 125 ml Each
Overall Feedback:
79% positive
80% praised for its allergen-friendliness, though 20% found limited choices
The product is actually a year old from the date of manufacture and is good for another 4 years, not 5 as advertised.
Upon opening a pouch, I noticed a horrible smell like rotten eggs.
74% appreciated the ease of making
I want to find water packs that I can store in the spare tire wheel well of my car and forget about for 5 years. I think I have found them and can set it and forget it.
The size of the packages is perfect to put 16 in a gallon zip lock bag.
86% liked its lightweight and compact design
Freeze-dried food is lightweight and portable, making it ideal for hiking trips where I can have a hot lunch and coffee in the woods.
76% appreciated its long shelf life, although 24% experienced spoilage
I plan to test the product over time and expect its shelf life to hold up.
The shelf life of the product is five years, but the water packets I received were just over a year old and cut the shelf life down 20%.
The product description says 5 year shelf life, but the expiration date on the pouches is 2017 and I bought them in 2013, making it only 4 years.
Water expires in 2025, so there are only three years left to store it safely.
72% praised for its delicious taste, while 28% found it lacking
I find the taste not great with an off after taste similar to unfiltered tap water.
