What the company sells

My Patriot Supply is a US seller of emergency food kits, tools and related preparedness products. According to its shipping page, it keeps warehouses in Ohio and Utah and says it does not outsource fulfilment to third parties, and it states that it runs its own food manufacturing plant in Salt Lake City. It also says it is trusted by more than 3 million Americans. That is the company's own statement, not something we verified.

The kit lineup

Every kit below is sized per person. Calories and servings are from each product page.

Prices and figures were read from mypatriotsupply.com on 2026-10-14 and can change. The company also lists larger-calorie "MEGA" kits and a 6-month kit that we did not read in detail.

What the numbers mean for four people

The company says its kits average "2,000+ calories per day". A family of four at 2,000 each uses 4 x 2,000 = 8,000 calories a day.

These match the company's own family-of-four statements within rounding: a week, three weeks and three months. A single 4-week kit is a week of food for four, not a month, and the food quantity guide explains the math from the calories up.

Buying for a family of four

• 1 week: one 4-week kit, $277.95, or the Starter Pack at $499.99.
• 2 weeks: two 4-week kits, 2 x $277.95 = $555.90.
• 3 months: one 1-year kit at $3,191.80. Four 3-month kits also cover about 90 days for four people, 4 x $797.95 = $3,191.80, the same price.
• 1 year: four 1-year kits, 4 x $3,191.80 = $12,767.20, which is 96 buckets and 1,640.52 lb.

The Starter Pack is the company's family-of-four option. It includes the 4-week kit ($277.95), so the rest of the bundle is about $222 on top of the food, from $499.99 - $277.95 = $222.04. The bundle lists 4 survival straws, a 20,000mAh solar power bank, a folding stove, 12 cans of Canned Heat+ and waterproof matches. These are the company's listed items. Whether they are worth $222 depends on what you already own.

See the 4-week kit page to read the contents and the company's own price for the food alone.

Price per calorie

Computed from each company's published calories and prices on 2026-10-14:

On published calories, Be Prepared's 3-month kit costs less per calorie than My Patriot Supply's 3-month and 1-year kits. The two companies differ in other ways, such as stated shelf-life wording, what is in the kit, and whether you need a bundle, so price per calorie is one input, not a verdict. The comparison article sets out three brands side by side.

Policies as the company states them

Shipping (company shipping page, read 2026-10-14):

• Orders placed by 3 PM ship the same business day.
• The lower 48 states and APOs usually take 2 to 3 days.
• Shipping is free over $149; under $149 it runs from $5.20 to $18.05 by weight.
• Alaska and Hawaii do not get free shipping and take about 3 to 4 weeks.
• No PO boxes. It ships to Canada and APOs but not Puerto Rico.

Returns: 30 days, described as "no-questions-asked", on unopened and unused products in their original packaging. The buyer pays return shipping and the original shipping is not refunded.

Disaster Replacement Warranty: the company covers fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, landslides and tornados. It must be activated, it lasts for the product's stated life (25 years if none is printed) and replacement is at the company's discretion. Read the terms on its warranty page before relying on it.

Shelf life: My Patriot Supply states up to 25 years when stored properly. See how long emergency food lasts for what such claims mean.

What third-party reviewers report

These are reports from customers on the company's own product pages and not our findings.

• Positive. The 1-year kit page shows a 4.89 out of 5 rating from 616 reviews.
• Negative. Some individual reviews are critical, and one on the 1-year page is headed "Much of the food does not taste good." Taste is subjective, and freeze-dried food is different from fresh cooking.
• Water and prep. The kits need water to prepare: 9.14 gallons for the 4-week kit and 144.5 for the 1-year kit, per the company. See the emergency water guide.

We have not tasted or ordered these kits and make no claim about taste.

Who the kits fit, and who they don't

They may suit you if:

• You want a single-brand kit with the company's stated 25-year figure and a family-of-four bundle.
• You prefer buckets and pouches that need only water and heat.
• You value a published return window and a replacement warranty.
• You are planning a week or more and want the food boxed and labelled.

They may not suit you if:

• Cost per calorie is your top factor; Be Prepared's published calories cost less per calorie.
• A household member has an allergy or medical diet. Check the ingredient list of each variety, and see the nutrition note.
• You want a short plan on a small budget. Building a first week from groceries is an option, covered in the emergency food list.
• You are looking for a month of food for four from a single purchase. That takes four 4-week kits.

How to order for four

1. Decide how many family-of-four days you want. The buying guide lists eight points to check.
2. Convert to kits using the table above.
3. Add the water in the water guide.
4. Check the shipping threshold: three 4-week kits pass $149 easily.

For the whole plan see our emergency food supply for family of four guide.
