HOW TO REPLACE EXPIRED SURVIVAL SUPPLIES
Diligence in inventorying and replacing expired supplies in your survival kits is a necessary and vital step of disaster preparedness. Most non-perishable canned goods have an average shelf-life of 2 years. Bottled water stores safely for up to a year only in temperature-controlled environments. If exposed to extreme temperatures, shelf-lives of canned and bottled rations diminish more rapidly.
ER™ Emergency Ready Survival Kits contain food bars and water pouches certified by the U.S. Coast Guard to remain fresh for up to 5 years, even when exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations. We now offer a product warranty to extend your food and water shelf-life by an additional 5 years as an option to our Extended Survival Kits. Set a reminder to check the expiration dates on your emergency rations periodically.
We created Easy Replacement Kits as a cost-effective way to replace only the expired items within your kit. Simply purchase a pack for the same number of people as your survival kit.
Each ER™ Pack contains the following:
- Emergency Food Bars
- Emergency Water Rations
- First Aid Supplies
- Emergency Light Sticks
Don't forget that you must replace the water in your 55 Gallon Water Storage Barrel every 5 years. Use a new bottle of Water Preserver Concentrate each time the water is replaced. Storing a 55-gallon water barrel in your home is a cost-effective way to save extra emergency water for drinking, bathing, and cooking.
