Sports reviews of Mainstay Emergency Drinking Water (60 Pack)
Customer Review: VERY limited use
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
If you're building emergency supply kits for a life raft, or stocking a space ship, OK. Those particular scenarios would require careful packaging consideration, and 4-ounce servings in individual foil pouches might make sense in these scenarios. If that's the market you're working for, 5-stars, awesome product. Outside of those extreme cases, this product is ridiculous.
If your intention is to create a storeable supply of potable water, go down to the grocery store, pick up some bottled water. It's sold from half-pint to 5-gallon jugs and just about any size in between. You'll pay FAR less than you would with these little packets, and you'll get FAR more use out of them.
Plus, you'll have the flexibility of actually being able to regularly use the product you purchased. I regularly use the water bottles in my Jeep for cleaning up, hand washing, first aid, refilling radiators... (Yeah - I can't think of how mad I'd be if I found myself needing to pour $100+ in my radiator to get back on the road.)
And yes, you can safely store plastic bottled water in your car. I won't refute the claims here, but please feel free to read up on them (and on the people making them) before repeating these urban legends. Google and peer-reviewed journals are your friends. Well-meaning but ignorant individuals and conspiracy theorists with half-baked ideas are not.
But, if you still have an irrational fear of plastic, you can buy water in anything from aluminum cans (beer cans) to #10 steel cans, and glass bottles from pint sized to gallon sized. The cost will be FAR less than these pouches, leaving you with plenty of cash to purchase more water, or more useful supplies.
