My big concern would be trying to live on these. Some people get rather *coughs* runny when they switch over to largely liquid weight loss diet, such as slimfast, so I'd want to test these under a controlled, simulated situation. When the stuff hits the fan, that is not the time to be digging a cathole every half hour.

For the same calorie content, you could pack a Hooah! bar. Much more transportable. Again though, the thirst problem.

The only emergency rations I've tried are Mainstay. Weird experience eating those...they're called "low thirst". Something about them makes your mouth water, so there's little need to drink with them. 400 calorie blocks.

Just googled "SOS rations" and found a site that sells "The New Millenium bars" which look like a Power Bar type food...also 400 calories each. I'll probably try some of those sooner or later.

I'd have to agree...keep the liquid supplements around the house if you like, but find something more portable for gettin' outta Dodge.

I carry some Datrex from Redflare (shameless plug) in the bottom of my pack for emergencies and other goodies that I will most likely be eating higher up and/or closer to the outside.
