Product Description
Mainstay is an emergency food product unlike any other. Before it came into the picture, emergency food bars were only being made for short-term use.
Survivor Industries changed all that when it created a great-tasting, non-thirst provoking product with an extraordinary five-year shelf life.
Mainstay is specially formulated for land-based high stress situations. Each package contains 9 pre-measured 400 calorie meals, which allows a person to get their full nutrition in a challenging situation.

Good Product
By BrianW
If you are looking for a product that has a long shelf-life, is compact, and will provide you will the sustenance you need in a survival situation, then this is it. I bought some to store in the pantry (about 3 weeks worth per person in the household) just in case we are held up in the house for an extended period, such as would be the case in a zombie attack.

It's survival food - not a gourmet meal
By S. Sherman
The person who says this isn't food proceeds to list food ingredients that appear in most things in the grocery store. Flour and sugar aren't food? You need some fat in a nutrition bar. While hydrogenated oils have their problems, it is the only way to ensure shelf-stability for fat. These bars will last FIVE YEARS without refrigeration. You need carbs for energy in a stressful (remember, it's an emergency) situation. I like lemon cookies, so the taste is just fine for me. MREs are a great supplement, although the best only have a 3-year shelf-life. So use these in combination if you can afford the cost and space for the MREs. BTW, these bars are Kosher and meet the dictates for Halal. Not bad for meeting a wide range of dietary requirements. As always, people with specific food sensitivity should read the label.

Pretty top notch for what it is
By Christopher Boatright
I purchased a packet of these for a lightweight and handy meal for packing in the woods. The taste is fine as advertised. This isn't a three star based on this being just a snack, however. They are survival rations, not just some kind of nosh. I would not choose to eat these as a snack as they are rather dense, and despite claims to do make you thirsty; just as eating anything bread-like will make you thirsty.There is also an aftertaste that, while not strong, will make your mouth continue to taste the lemon-bar you just ate for as long as it takes you to drink enough water to wash it down.I would rather have an MRE, but the compact and portable nature as well as the price makes this a good item for extreme light hiking.
