My Patriot Supply is a Utah-based seller of emergency food kits, water treatment gear and seeds.

How this review was made
Every number comes from My Patriot Supply's own product, shipping and warranty pages, read in a browser on 2026-11-02. We did not buy, open or taste anything, and nothing here is a test result. The company's pages and a few outside sources are named in each sentence so you can check them. This page belongs to the survival food kits guide, which explains the five checks used below.
The lineup shrank in the days before this read, so older write-ups elsewhere may list kits that the collection no longer shows. Only the three kits below were listed on 2026-11-02.
The kits, as the pages state them
| Fact | 72-hour sample pack | 4-week supply | 1-year bundle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price (regular, no sale shown) | $34.99 | $277.95 | $3,497.95 |
| Servings | 20 | 250 | 3,250 |
| Total calories | 6,320 (spec line) | 56,460 | 733,980 |
| Calories per day, as stated | "2,000+" per person | "2,000+" per person | "2,000+" per person |
| Varieties | 4 food | 16 food and drink | 16 food and drink |
| Who it feeds, per the page | 1 person, 72 hours | 1 person 4 weeks; 2 people 2 weeks; family of 4 for 1 week | 1 person 1 year; 2 people 6 months; family of 4 for 3 months |
| Water to prepare | 3.57 gal | 9.14 gal | 118.83 gal |
| Packaging | not read | 2 buckets, 31.65 lb | 26 buckets, 411.45 lb |
| Shelf life as stated | up to 25 years when stored properly | up to 25 years when stored properly | up to 25 years; footnote 10 to 30 years |
Two page details matter. The 72-hour page gives 6,320 calories on its specification line, while a seller answer on the same page cites 6,240 total and about 2,080 a day, so we treat its calories as approximate. The 1-year page says "Limit 2 per person."
Cost per 1,000 calories
This is our arithmetic on the sourced price and calories, shown so you can redo it.
- 4-week kit: a price of $277.95 across 56.46 thousand calories works out to $4.92 for every 1,000 calories.
- 1-year: $3,497.95 divided by 733.98 thousand calories is $4.77 per 1,000 calories.
The two figures are close, so the larger bundle's saving is small on this measure. We did not compute the 72-hour figure because its page offers two calorie totals. Calories per day check out against the pages' own claim: 56,460 over 28 days is 2,016 and 733,980 over 365 days is 2,011.
Shelf life: what the company says and what else is said
The kit pages say "up to 25 years when stored properly" and the 4-week page adds that shelf life depends on storage conditions and that the food should be kept cool and dry. The 1-year footnote narrows this: shelf life varies by product from 10 to 30 years for unopened food in a dry, cool place, dark if possible, at 55 to 70 F. Opened pouches on the 4-week page are described as resealable and good for up to 1 year.
Those are the company's claims. The page freeze-dried food shelf life sets them beside Utah State University Extension, which names 8 to 10 years as the longest tested life for metal-Mylar-type pouches, and Oregon State Extension, which gives freeze-dried fruit and vegetables "up to 25 years," dependent on packaging. Neither is a test of this company's food.
Shipping, returns and warranty, as the pages state them
| Policy | What the page says (read 2026-11-02) |
|---|---|
| Shipping cost | Free over $149 to the 48 contiguous states and APOs; under $149 it is charged by weight, from $5.20 for under 1 lb to $18.05 at 50 lb or more |
| Shipping speed | Same-day shipping "temporarily paused"; new orders estimated to process and ship within 8 to 14 business days |
| Alaska and Hawaii | No free shipping; about 3 to 4 weeks under normal circumstances |
| Returns | 30 days, "no-questions-asked," unopened and unused in original packaging; buyer pays return shipping |
| Canada | Ships there, but Canadian orders are final sale |
| Price match | If the online price drops within 14 days of purchase, a match as store credit on request; one per item per customer |
| Disaster Replacement Warranty | Covers fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, landslides and tornados; replacement at the company's discretion, at no charge; lasts for the packaging's stated shelf life, or 25 years if none is stated |
The warranty page has a sign-up step, and its folded sections on who may use it, what it does not cover and how to claim were not expanded in our read. Read those before counting on it. The shipping notice is the line most likely to be out of date, so confirm it at checkout.
Reviews the seller shows
On 2026-11-02 the 72-hour page showed a 4.78 out of 5 rating from 2,887 reviews, and the collection page showed 3,445 reviews for the 1-year bundle. Those are the seller's own displayed numbers, which we cannot verify. The company's About page also describes itself as a preparedness supplier operating since 2008, with warehouses in Ohio and Utah, and its product pages use the words "Independent. Family-Owned." Those are self-descriptions.
Who these kits fit
- One person who wants a fixed block of food for 2 to 4 weeks without assembling it from groceries: the 4-week page states 2,000+ calories a day.
- A household that has water already stored and a way to heat water or food: the 4-week page says most meals require a heat source.
- Someone who values a stated, long storage figure and accepts that it is the company's claim.
Who should look elsewhere or add to it
- Anyone who has not planned water. Add the preparation water from the table to the drinking water: the Red Cross and Ready.gov give 1 gallon per person per day. See emergency water storage.
- Anyone with allergies or a medical diet. The pages read give calorie claims, not a full allergen or dietary review, so read the ingredient lists directly from the maker.
- A household that would rather stock the everyday non-perishables Ready.gov lists. The pages read do not compare the two on cost.
- Anyone expecting the water collection to include Sawyer. The company's water collection sells its own Alexapure line and Aquamira products, and no Sawyer product appeared in it on 2026-11-02. For filters read the survival water filter guide and the Sawyer Squeeze review; for treatment by boiling or tablets see tablets, bleach and boiling.
Questions to settle before you order
- How many people, and how many days? Match them to the "who it feeds" lines above, not to servings alone.
- Where will the water and the heat come from during an outage? A small power station can help with some loads; see what a solar generator can run for the watt-hour math.
- Where will the buckets sit? The storage temperature in the 1-year footnote is 55 to 70 F.
- Can you wait? The pause on same-day shipping means 8 to 14 business days as of this read.

FAQ
Is My Patriot Supply the same as other brands' kits?
This review makes no comparison with other sellers. It reports what My Patriot Supply's own pages say.
What does "2,000+ calories per day" mean?
The company's footnote says the figure is reached by eating a variety of items from the kit and that calorie needs vary. It is a planning figure, not medical advice.
How long does the food keep?
The company states up to 25 years when stored properly, and its 1-year footnote gives 10 to 30 years by product at 55 to 70 F. See the shelf life page for outside statements.
Can I return an opened kit?
The returns page covers unopened, unused products in original packaging.
