Got this to restock my emergency kit. These pouches are perfect, very packable, so I could get a lot of water into the kits without taking up too much space. Easy to open, durable packets so minimal risk of leakage and the water is good quality. 10/10 do recommend for emergency kits and storage.

These Coast Guard-approved pouches offer a remarkable five-year shelf life, ensuring you can count on them to remain viable through various disaster scenarios such as earthquakes, fires, and floods. The water comes in convenient 4.225 oz (125 ml) leak-proof pouches that not only prevent contamination but also allow for easy distribution and storage. The thoughtful packaging ensures portability without compromising durability; the pouches are resilient under pressure while remaining lightweight—an ideal balance when space and weight considerations are critical during emergencies. Moreover, with 50 pouches included in each pack, Mayday provides both quantity and quality—ample hydration support tailored for peace of mind during uncertain times. Whether stored at home or packed within a go-bag, these water pouches represent an investment in safety and well-being that no disaster-ready kit should be without.

They're bags of water. They don't hold much water, about 4 pouches will be required to fill a typical drinking glass, but if you're using these, they're to keep you alive, not comfortable. The pouch recommends four pouches / day, but if you're sweating or in a very dry climate, expect to increase that. The water tastes just fine. They say five-year shelf life but I'm going to guess they'll last vastly longer than that as nothing will really break down. The pouches are pretty durable and the rubbery plastic inner liner is thick and strong (which can make tearing it open a bit of a challenge). The pouches have enough internal spare volume to easily freeze with room to spare, so they shouldn't burst. However, if you're storing these water pouches yourself somewhere without climate control, remember that ice expands just under 10%. So basically, if you think the water might freeze, for every ten pouches, leave one pouch worth of volume free. Otherwise, they will almost certainly rupture their seams when freezing. While experimenting with ways to store the water for survival kits, I loaded up a .50 cal ammo can in two different ways and then put the can in my freezer. You can store ten pouches sandwich-style, and you can store eleven pouches stacked. You can actually fit twelve pouches stacked in their liquid form and still have room for the lid to close (eleven frozen pouches occupies the exact same volume as twelve liquid ones), but if the can will be exposed to freezing temperatures for more than a night, they will almost certainly blow up. You should be okay if you only experience overnight freezes (like if you live in a high desert). All in all, this box was the best value on Amazon so I went for it. I only wish the crimped edges of the pouches were a bit smaller, some of them are almost half an inch wide and it introduces more challenges to storage. I'm using them for small survival kits in a disaster and something for my car. If you're looking for home emergency water supply, these aren't very efficient, you should be using large gallon containers instead.

Never hurts to have this in preps just in case. This item is high quality water for carry ability with sturdy packaging to prevent leaks. Good for camping, hiking, preps, emergencies. Do not store in your car for emergency during winter months in cold climates as this will freeze, expand and become a mess.

Tastes a little bit like dust or old warehouse. But it won't give you diarrhea until you die. 5 stars.

So I buy these generally every 4 years or so to stock up the emergency supplies for the house. Some go in the cars, some go in the evacuation kits. I know a LOT of people look at these and say "why pay so much" when you could get bigger bottles of water at the store. And the answer is durability. The cheap store bottled waters deform, tear, and leak at the drop of a hat. Plus, if frozen when full, they tend to split at the seems or the top. Historically I have frozen a few of these (cold car, cold day) and still had them usable. That's not always what they're rated for, but my personal experience. So these are a moderately priced option in the field of certified water, the packs are durable, and at a 50 pack for $20 US, far better priced than the ones you normally find included in pre-assembled packs.

Taste very good 😊

Have not had to use any yet, but they seem to be okay

We have purchased these pouches in the past for our earthquakes kits and giving us a sense of having enough water each, in any sudden state of emergency, like an earthquake or fire etc. We replace them When they expire but use them to water plants etc., so as not to waste water and when our new order comes, we put them into our earthquake kits.

On time and with the right number ! (100)
