4Patriots Reviews

Food 4 Patriots is a scam website and company through and through. We examine all of their offerings: low calories, deceptive sizes and far shorter life and use then claimed. Virtually everything on their site is a lie. Claiming to be patriots is their scare tactics. We think they are fake patriots, ripping people off and taking advantage of fear-based advertising. Buyer beware.

You need to know that there is absolutely no meat in any of the food. It is not vegetarian, so it doesn't satisfy those needs, but it contains no meat. There's a lot of pasta and carbohydrate and most of it is cream based. Almost every entree takes 25-35 minutes on a stove to cook with a lot of stirring. For what they are, they are expensive. In fine print, they do mention the ingredients but it is well hidden in their extravagant advertising. I believe they know that if they made it obvious that their product contained no meat, that would be a detractor, so they purposefully hide that fact from us. To me, that is false advertising or at least dubious advertising.

On the plus side, the products arrived in a reasonable time and just as I ordered.  

I ordered a one year supply. And they do taste fairly good. My overall impression is that I would not recommend this product.

Look, I've dealt with this company for a few years now. I started with accepting some of their free samples, then worked my way up to the survival seeds, 72 hour kit, one month, three months and on to other items/supplies. The food is great tasting, very well packaged, and naturally preserved in Mylar pouches. It was sent in durable rubber containers. It is well packed for shipping. The bonus items are also a great addition. Customer service is top notch and when I had a minor issue with some packaged items, they handled it quickly and promptly and even added extra with no extra cost to me. Bottom line: It is a great value and the product will last for many years as stated, if the buyer takes care to store it safely.

And finally: Yes, FEMA is stocking up on this type of food. Don't take my word though, spend your own time as I did and do the research. Keep in mind, there are some things the government does not want you to know and will also go to great lengths to use misinformation tactics as well This is a Five Star company without a doubt. No. I am not an employee of this company or business affiliated in any way, only a standard customer.

Had bought a box of your food quite some time ago, never tried anything till just this week and it was a two cup sample package which I cooked (did add 1 teaspoon chick bouillon) and was greatly pleased with texture as well as flavor.

We are all human beings and as such we are creatures of habit. Until that changes we will always allow ourselves to be subjected to, and more often than not, taken over by our own minds and emotions when it comes to doing things that make our lives more enjoyable and sustainable. The marketing industry spends billions of dollars every year educating themselves on human weaknesses for exactly that reason. The single most important thing someone in sales can learn is what drives the human heart and mind. Once they understand that they can manipulate just about anyone into buying or doing something that they believe will be for the benefit of their own well being. The same holds true with Food 4 Patriots. This company is an associate marketing business. Regardless of where they are located or who owns them, their goal is marketing and sales. Are their tactics genuine and legitimate? That is certainly questionable by anyone as they portray themselves as the owners of the products in which they are distributing, which is not the truth. The true creators and owners of the product is the Patriot Pantry food company. If you search for "My Patriot Supply" you will find all the information about the company there you need.

Unfortunately, Patriot Pantry will most likely not give you the refunds for your purchase(s) unless you purchased directly from them. If you used Food 4 Patriots as your means of buying the products then you are pretty much stuck with having to try and request your refund through them.

The only suggestion I have here is to really consider things and do some research before you buy something online. I know, it seems pretty obvious right but it's still quite amazing how many do not do this before buying online. These marketers know what drives us and they will use it against us in every way imaginable. I am not exempt from this either. I am a military veteran myself so I familiarize with other patriots, however this should not deter us from what is the logical thing to do. Logically we want to prepare. Logically we have the obligation to ourselves and our loved ones to conduct the proper research and not let our emotional thoughts override our logical ones.

The truth of the matter is there is ALWAYS going to be a marketer and there is ALWAYS going to be a consumer that wants something that will put them in a better position in life (either physically or mentally or both) or satisfy a need and as long as we, as the consumer, just buy without doing some homework and research on things, then the marketer will win out every time. There are a lot of good survival foods out there these days. Take the time and do some homework before you spend the money and you'll be amazed at the things you'll learn, like portion sizing versus cost per portion. The agricultural industry has moved over to portion sizing because they can get the same amount of money for a lessor amount of food. Remember when canned vegetables were in 16-ounce cans and now they are in 14.5 ounce cans and cost the same as the 16's? Think about that when you consider how much is enough. That's just one example and there are many more.

Okay enough ranting. The real questions - do I like the food? Is the pricing fair? Is it a good quality? Would I recommend to others?

I do enjoy the food. It does take some time to prepare correctly. You will need to have water available. It is a little bland for my taste but I generally like really spicy foods.

I compared the pricing of the products from Food 4 Patriots directly with the pricing from the vendor and they are close to the pricing but Food 4 Patriots is definitely charging more. From the looks of things, the extra costs are for their eBooks and markups on the original product. They are not paying for the shipping either, the vendor is, so I'm sure that is fitting somewhere into their profit margin as well.

The quality is comparable to some of the military rations I have had but not quite as good as some of the other vendors. It doesn't have the meat products that would generally be accompanied with some of the other survival food products, however those could be purchased from another vendor and be a good add-on to these products if so desired.

I would recommend the products themselves however I would recommend that if you decided to purchase these products that you do so directly from vendor. By doing so you could then communicate directly with the owner of the product if issues came about.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I'm going combine it with a shotgun/rifle recoil pad on Amazon to exceed the $35 free ship. Save $7 to try it yourself.

I recommend you try it yourself, you won't really know until you do.

I received my four boxes quickly and found the packaged date from the month before. We immediately took out two different meal packages to test for flavor and were pleasantly surprised by the taste. One bag fed four people adequately, with 5 cups of water added to hydrate. The meat TSP gave it a very good flavor and overall I am happy with the purchase, and they stack well without taking up the space that large cans do. Kept in a dark, dry & cool space, they should last a long, long, time.

We ordered the three months supply of food that is said to last 25 years. It was shipped and received as promised within the same month. Tasted some of the product, it's better than MRE's or Sea Rats which I ate in the service. I'm very happy with their service.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

As stated, old, expired and reduced packages (from a reseller that shortchanges you) on their ad. Spokesman states they recorded your computer address and will sell your packages to "someone else" if you talk. Wow. Apparently they think citizens are scared idiots. So they make threats and pull a stunt you would expect from the NSA and expect anyone to believe in bully- tactics. Save your money, go to your local grocery store and buy dried goods of your choice and don't be a victim of these charlatans. They aren't "patriots" in any sense, just disgusting predators.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This Food 4 Patriots thing is a scam. I bought the three month supply and it was old and expired and the food tasted nasty.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Food4Patriots is a rip off. They sell the kits from My Patriot Supply, take out the meat dishes and leave the pastas and oatmeal, and charge more than My Patriot Supply. Example: Food4Patriots sells 3 month dehydrated food packets (365 meals) in two plastic tubs for $495 with free shipping. My Patriot Supply who actually packages the food sells the 3 month supply in the same tubs with free shipping for $449, but there are 432 meals. If you check what is included you will find the chicken and beef dishes are missing from the tubs. The food packets are labeled My Patriot Supply in both suppliers tubs.

I ordered the 72hr, was then offered the 4 week at a discount, which I accepted expecting the upgrade to replace the 72hr kit. My credit card was charged for BOTH orders. Multi tries to get customer service only got me email confirming "I was being charged for both orders", as my bank account had shown. My bank managed to get customer service to speak to me and stayed with me until I was told the orders would be removed. Now I must monitor the account to be sure that happens!

Since I could not get a reply to my email nor calls, and I was being charged for two orders, I felt like this was deception. I will never know if the food is what was described.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It took 15 days to receive my (2) 3 months supply of survival food. After reading some of the negative reviews, I decided to check my storage holders. To the person that said it was out of date. The only date on the packages, is the date of manufacture, not an expiration date. Are you keeping the food dry and in a cool environment? I have tried the Travelers Stew and have to say, it was pretty good especially for survival food.

Concerning how many meals you get, check the back of the packages as the rice alone can feed 10 people a serving. All of these packages make multiple servings. I received all the meat products and everything else I was promised.

I don't care about them buying product from other companies. Show me one that doesn't. I have purchased from more than one company and the same thing is happening. The price was better than other companies I bought from. People, if you are using this product daily, then you are in survival mode. You eat enough to keep yourself healthy. You might have to cut back on the amount of food you eat in a normal situation. You are not being forced to buy the product. I decided to do so because of a Nature disasters since Fema is not prepared to help anyone quickly. I made the choice to take care of myself and family, not wait for someone else to help me which is what this country use to do. Now, most wait and wait and then scream where is my food and water.

Also, get a grip if that video insulted or scared you. If that's the case, then buy from a different company. ALL survival companies try to scare you. For myself, I am not scared, I am just preparing for bad situations. I got what I excepted, I am happy with it and I love PJ Ki's quote - It's for SURVIVAL not a candlelight dinner and dining experience!

I received my free minestrone soup and it smelled good but there were no veggies or beans. It was all broth and noodles and the after taste was bitter. If I could, I would give this product zero stars.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This is a complete scam. You can get better quality food as well as getting it at a better price and quality. Frank Bates doesn't even exist. I fell for it because of his so called endorsements. The claim that FEMA wants all his food and info on shipments are completely made up. Do not buy any products. They and his so called endorsers are fake money grubbing trash. Following up with FTC, to see if there is anything I can do to take legal action.

A couple of weeks ago I purchase a 4-week supply of Food 4 Patriots. Since the foods arrival to my home, I contemplated on trying a portion of the products I ordered. I let my wife choose a item for a taste test. She's a very critical person when it comes to the taste and quality of foods. Bottom line: She likes the chicken rice dish very much as I do also. We couldn't be happier with the products we've ordered thus far.

I grew up in the Military. We always kept emergency supplies as we were always getting slammed by Hurricanes, Typhoons and Floods. Trust me. Everyone should have a backup. I also am a Professional Back Packer. Trust me, you always will need the comfort of emergency food just in case.

I received my three month supply and was quite pleased. My decision to purchase Emergency Food was a calculated one and also a replacement for my previous supplies that were quite aged.

I would recommend Food 4 Patriots. I am pleased with the service they provided me with.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is a scam. I purchased the 4 week supply and I received it today. It cost me almost $200. It was one container that had 3 packs of oatmeal, a few potato soups and mashed potatoes. You couldn't live on this for a week. There are no actual meals.

Don't be fooled like me. Do not buy.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have ordered the food supply several times now and keep at least 6 months on hand. The food is better than any other supply chain dehydrated products. I substitute a meal here and there during a year and have never been disappointed. I order from MY Patriot Supply.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I recently received my order and was not satisfied with the content. I sent the order to the return address listed on the paperwork they sent me and it was shipped back to me saying I sent it to the wrong address. They said I should have sent it to the address which is on their site. This is OUTRAGEOUS considering their claim of 100% money-back return policy.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I ordered a 3 month supply on a trial basis and received a 6 month supply accidentally. I called customer service and they were very nice. I could return it if I took it to the nearest Federal Express Office to "refuse shipment" on it.

This is somewhat inconvenient. Anyway, we decided to keep it due to so many situations in which we might need it. (Family of 5.) I'd recommend it, but as other reviewers have mentioned, they order from one company. I'd check out ordering from them.

Thanks to the reviewers who posted that they tried the food. That was very helpful.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I received the 30 day supply within the time they stated. I tried one of the food packets (Cream Rice) and the taste was OK and it did fill me up. Hopefully we will never need it but I'm glad I have it in case.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I received my order in less than a week. I bought the 30 day box. I really like the storage box it came in, is sturdy and not very noticeable stored in the basement. Just received it in the last few days and haven't eaten any yet but its all in pouches and they are intact.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This stuff is called God forbid, something happens to require me to use this food, I probably wont be as concerned with flavor as I will be with having a full stomach. Sure, taste is important but surviving the emergency is the big goal.

As far as price and convenience, this company supplies what it claims and is entertaining. You can find better prices and quality if you check the reviews so buy where you believe. I would recommend this product to a friend but I would advise shopping around too.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

When I was ordering the 4-week supply they offered an add-on for another at half price. They arrived in a timely manner and are as advertised. Strong, easily stored tubs. You can call these people and reach them on the phone if you have any questions about shipping, etc. I'm very satisfied.

Whether or not the government letter in the ad is real, one needs only to investigate the mysterious collapse of World Trade Center Building No. 7 to realize there is a real need for survival food like this. There's a bad moon on the rise.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Ordered Fifteen month supply. Got all my order in about 10 days very happy with service and shipping. Would buy again in the future.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

let me say this I'm the one that made the decision to purchase the food kit. I don't worry what someone else thinks, says, or does. If the day comes that I have to use this emergency food kit who will have the last laugh?

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
