Here's a clip from their website. Any thoughts?

"With LifeCaps in your backpack or emergency kit, you have confidence in knowing you are always prepared, no matter what. These unique capsules can help sustain your life in an emergency, even when food is not readily available for whatever reason."

Gimmick – an expensive vitamin and mineral capsule.

In a real emergency, you need an external source of calories, preferably one in which the calories will be provided over a long duration. There are plenty of emergency rations and energy bars that are much cheaper and will do a better job of providing sustenance

Probably about as useful as throwing a spare Twinkie in your pack, except more expensive.

Scene from BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID. Ladies and gentlemen, friends and niegbors. I give you the future. I give you- the Bicycle! What is it about Utah and vitamens? To reiterate what Pete said, Your paying out $40 +S/H for 30 vitamens and a suger rush. But wait! these altruistic folks have warned us of competitor's inferior products with caffeine and stimulants. Oh the humanity! Imagine all the lost souls who ventured forth under the old supply lists of pilot bread and tea. File these with spaceblankets who's secondary ability to lighten your load is a thinning of the wallet.The annual migration of Fruit Cakes is just about over, but I would take your $40 and buy me one of those 3 pronged frogging spears for next year. They run @ $5 or you can fabricate your own via instructions in Robert Redford endorsed paperbacks. With the money buy some Mainstays, MREs,M&Ms some black tea and the obligatory survivalist bottle of tobasco sauce. You might even have enough for a ETS donation.I'm going to have some right now. All this energy expenditure made me hungry.

Ha!

I skimmed all the links. Long on verbiage. Heavy on marketing. Short on facts. Couldn't find the nutrient info anywhere. Pass.

Gee, I’m so glad that survival’s lowest priority, food, has been so thoroughly taken care of. Now if only they can compress a liter of water down into a pill.

I love how nearly the entire FAQ section of the site is 'dietary suppliment 101'. How can something legally called a suppliment be marketed as a dietary replacement? They may never come right out and say so but that's what they're promoting.

I'll take the Twinkie. It's got some energy with all the sugar and tastes good.

I bet the Twinkie has a better shelf life too.
