4Patriots emergency food, by the numbers

4Patriots sells 5 one-person emergency kits we could compare on the numbers that matter. Here is what they really deliver per person, per day - and how 4Patriots stacks up against the field. Every figure is from 4Patriots's own page.

Every 4Patriots kit we measured lands below a full 2,000-calorie day - as low as 1,303 kcal, about 62% of the 2,100 kcal humanitarian minimum. On value it is mid-range, from about $5.00 per 1,000 kcal. Stated shelf life runs up to 25 years - real, but conditional on cool, dry storage.
