Does anybody know if these packages are freezable? I want to use them in my emergency bag for my truck but I am worried the packages might explode!

From QuakeKare website - Can be frozen without harm to pouch and used as a "cold pack".

I have about a dozen of these that I have stored in my truck. I live in upstate NY where temps can drop well below freezing and into the single digits(both positive and negative) and have had them in there for about 3 years now. They freeze solid every winter and thaw every spring. None have popped.

I put them in a small baggie and keep them in my bike jersey so heat is not an issue. They're powdered so just keep them dry I suppose. I leave them in my car with no issues.

I just came from a grocery store presentation of this product. For a cold pack they should be put in the refrigerator not the freezer. If put in the freezer they will burst like a can of soda. That's exactly what the factory rep. doing the demonstration said.

Ours were packaged in groups of 5. I agree with Karen... When you open a package keep the ones you aren't using in a ziplock bag, squeezing out excess air. I would say that they would last a while this way because there will be no odors to absorb.

better safe than sorry, although they are not shipped in cold pack. best to ask people who make them.

I would strongly advise against it altho' I've never tried----they are after all advertised as nuke and oven safe and I've not encountered any problems when using them in eithercheersbob

I wish I could help answer your question. I am heat intolerant, so I have never tried putting these in a backpack in hot weather. These squares are soft and chewy, which is one of the things I love about them. However, that may not be what you are looking for in this scenario. I suspect the honey would melt. If you don't mind savory instead of sweet, I'd recommend Epic or Tanka bars. I like their buffalo and cranberry bars. They would hold up in hot weather. Best of luck!

I assume so as none of mine have ever been melted when I got them. Shipment was very fast. They are well wrapped in bubble wrap. Hope that helps. I don't think you'd be sorry you ordered them. I'll be ordering again. I ordered the package that had 6 bags in it.

YES. They're strong enough. I agree with you James. They really don't look up to the job. I've had & used mine now for over a year and I love them. They're TOTALLY reliable. Do yourself a favor James. These will work. At about $ 8.00 a pack - for me that's right on the cusp "acceptable risk" (a little more money than I'd casually risk.) That said - I'm telling you James - they will exceed your expectations. They're dynamite. Get them! You'll be glad you did! If possible, keep me posted. Best of luck! :-)

They are loose, they come in a retail package (thin cardboard) with bubble wrap and a plastic bag with a bit of oil on them. Mine were not damaged, the packaging was fine in that respect, but it wasn't anything to keep for storing them.

They are only airtight in the foil pak they come in. But they are indivisually wrapped tightly in a non-airtight plastic wrapper. You would have to put each in an airtight bag/container to prevent them from becoming soggy.

These are re-freezable ice packs, not the one-time use chemical ice packs. Just pop it in the freezer for a few hours and it will be hard as a rock and ice cold for a few hours use.

If you can keep them in a Tupperware type container they should last a few days or longer. With this being emergency food you may not be in much of a situation to care about freshness though and I'd think each pack would get consumed pretty quickly after it was opened.

I think they would be okay. Though one possible issue might be how to repackage them for the trip. I don't think the plastic pouch they come would be able to stand up to the rigors of a pack crammed with all of your camping gear.

My pleasure. They are my favorite "survival-energy bars!!" They keep in all kinds of weather. Freeze them and crack them. The best!!! Bo

i haven't had this problem with the small packs of stacy chips,. they are packaged well and have enough air in the bag to protect them. some of the chips are smaller but they are definitely not crushed:)
