Could you survive on nothing but this and water for a week?

most likely, food is not the most important thing, you can last that long on water alone, the emergency rations would allow you to maintain a level of activity by having them to eat, i think they would better your chances of survival if they were available. They have a coconut flavor, not to strong, and not sweet like a candy. I keep a couple of packages in my truck emergency kit. They are also easy to consume on the move and don't take up much room in a daypack

These instructions say to break it into small pieces and eat 1 bar every 6 hours... at that rate it would last 72 hours. Not that you would up and die 6 hours later but if you only had 1 package that's how long it would last until it was all consumed by one person. As far as nutrition goes the main ingredients are wheat and shortening, so it would be about like eating biscuits for 3 days.

Yes, of course. It provides the calories but not the necessary vitamin and minerals but you have enough in you for longer than a week. This is mainly a calorie provider to get you to the vitamin and mineral foods.

If it were a quick submersion I think it would repel the water and survive nicely, but not sure what would happen if it took a long soak. It's pretty sturdy and I am very pleased with it. I think you will love it!

yes you could.just remember it must be submerged at all times, otherwise it may burn out.

As a Community Emergency Responder I would think that an average family or person would have it all used up in 4 weeks , so there should not be a problem. It is not meant for long term water storage. I have 100 gallon high grade food grade water containers with a metal grid for stability which I store water in for long term use, but after 3 months I will use it on my garden & refill it to be sure it is fresh & viable. Does that help you?

I think you could. I've gone on a river before and its honestly hard going up it if its strong. I took it to the cottage just got back today. Lakes are so easy if no waves are present. But a few waves can be challenging. I think you could do it depending on how fast the river is

Right now the temperature where I live is 90 degrees and this tends to be desert-type country. I can water for about a week at the most in these conditions. Earlier in the season I could get almost 2 weeks.

Yes. You will need plant food and enough life fish to create a self sufficient environment.

you can have it underwater for 30 minutes.... but i haven't do it for quite long time

You probably can a bit, but I found the whole thing rather flimsy and it didn't last very long even when flat. I think the aluminum corroded through, water is a bit acidic here...

Yes it can... I would recommend this unit... I've had it for months and I don't regret it... Nice pressure too... I thought it would be week but it isn't.

No, it's too thin and the interior is coated. It would probably leach into your water, especially once it was heated.

You definitely can! And it last for about 2 mos. tops ; then starts either leaking or air escaping thru the pump area, but its junk if you ask me.

Yes you can. Just returned from a 2 week vacation on the big island of Hawaii and took some wonderful underwater pictures. Great camera. Is well worth the money.

One week if you are just going in a short vacation other wise few times a week

It has days that you can set to water too.So if you should be able to water one day a week by only picking one day

that answer would probably be different for most people depending on your water

The Rider is Water Resistant to standard IPX7 which means it can survive being submerged in one meter of water for 30 minutes. Some of us who tour will occasionally be caught in a downpour so this is a good thing.
