For years we have talked about having an emergency kit. Since we lived in California until recently, there was always a fear of the “big” earthquake. Unfortunately we never did get an emergency kit, and I’m not sure why. We no longer live in California, but there are potential catastrophic events in every state. We do have a kit now, thanks to Valley Food Storage.
There is always the fear that something unexpected could happen and the thought of being stuck without food and other essentials is downright scary. Sure we could put together a kit of our own, but it would be HUGE (for one thing), and the food might not be good by the time we actually need it. It is so worth it in my opinion, to have everything we would need all conveniently packed away in an easy to carry tub.
Although there are SO many choices at Valley Food Storage, we ultimately decided on the Premium Family 72-hour kit. We chose this kit as it will be perfect for our family’s needs in case of emergency.
Valley Food Storage was established in 2005- on the simple fact that there wasn’t a single food supply store that emphasized quality ingredients. We have a deep desire to bring the best quality food to you and your family as if your family was our own. Help us to bring the best-valued food to every home’s table.
It was fun to open the resealable tub when it arrived – I couldn’t wait to see what was inside! All of the items were neatly packed and ready for use (whenever the need arises).
I was really surprised at how many different food items that were included. There were meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and they all sound really good. The preparation directions are on the back of the package and are clearly spelled out. It couldn’t be easier – just add boiling water (to most of them). Here is a video that shows the process and explains a bit more.
Mmmm the meals sound heavenly. The Irish Pub Style Cheddar Potato Soup sounds amazing. I am trying to resist the urge to open it now. The Stroganoff, White Bean & Lime Chili sound awesome too!
It means a lot to me that they care about the ingredients they use, and I really like that they include the nutritional information on the back label:
But food isn’t all that is included in our kit! There were light sticks and a multi-tool, that will be so simple to use in an emergency.
Also included is a medical kit. I didn’t want to unpack ours, as I want everything to be fresh when we need it, but you can see all of the items that are included on the label. There are supplies for survival, such as duct tape, a whistle, fire starters, and emergency blanket. Medical supplies include Ibuprofen, bandages of various sizes, safety pins, antiseptic towelette and more.
Valley Food Storage really has thought of everything, and I am very impressed. Here are some features to love about Valley Food Storage:
There are several different kits to choose from, in addition to the one I received. No matter the size of your family, or your particular needs, you will find something to suit your needs at Valley Food Storage. They have water storage systems, emergency supplies and more. You can even customize your own kit if you desire.
If you like to go camping, you will be happy to learn that they have camping kits too!

Wow everything is in there! I would also pick the one you did for our family. Even though we do not get earthquakes we do get tornado’s and ice storms that this would be awesome for!
I think I should definitely get one of these for my family since everything will be in one spot if ever needed. We could get an earthquake and we are definitely not prepared for one. Something I should start thinking about.
I was looking at the ingredients on the picture and was really surprised that they are all real – no chemicals or shelf stabilizers, etc. I really like that, and that they include other emergency items so it’s one grab and go kind of thing if it needs to be. I’d been just saving canned goods and trying to keep them current, but this is a much better solution.
The preparation for that of an event can never be planned to early…. This would be something I’m going to share with other’s as a suggestion to obtain for that of unforseen events! I come from a family tree that has struggled in life – so we ask for prayers – medically in the coming weeks – but the food above is full of the necessary nutrient values that we all need daily!
I know its important to prepare for the unexpected – whatever that may be. However, it so easy for things like this to be put on the back burner because of everyday problems that seems to pop up. Thanks for sharing this great information on Valley Food Storage Emergency Kit. It’s good to know that everything you would need is in the Kit.
I think about this a lot (more in the last several months, if you know what I mean) and while I don’t have the space to build what I want, I think I need to at least start buying meal kits like this and some other things for preparedness.

This would be really nice to have handy incase something really bad happened and my family needed to find a way to survive for a few days.
Wow this is really something we should think about getting
I love that the food not only looks good, but also nutrient rich. I also like the Med. Kit that they included in your supply. Going to check them our.

We are very prepared for emergencies. Our gas generator is hard-wired and a big help. We’re stocked with plenty of food and drinks.
This is smart I just wish we had storage space for emergency supplies like this.
We are stocked with food, water, and medical supplies in the event of a disaster. We also have a generator. Thanks for the article–very informative!

I really do need to be better prepared for an emergency! Thanks for the awareness!
Thanks for bringing to my attention,I do not have half this stuff.
Oh this is something I have been thinking about and really need to do. I love that they have so many options…especially gluten free!
I have seen these but never tried them. They would be handy in hard times.
This would be awesome for our hurricane emergency supply. And I love that it is non gmo and msg free.
This is well put together pack, something we all should have “just in case” we need it
I would love to have something like this I always worry about not being preparded for something bad
These look like great products. I really need to stock up. Thanks for sharing!
