"Arrived quickly. Very handy little unit. The ONLY thing I dont like about it is the bottom tray to pull out the cans of heat is difficult to pull out. Not a big deal putting in new cans, but becomes a problem pulling out the hot active cans. It is also a tad bit flimsier than expected for the price. If I could have tested it first I would have probably passed on it, but now that I have it, I will definitely use it."
"Yes i appreciate how quickly I recieved it i have not opened it i am waiting until we actually need it but I am relieved we have it in the event if an emergency where we lose all power at least it will give us a way to keep some part if the house warm and cook if need be without it being an immediate hardship"
"Does what it says it does and more. But solid to last. Puts out more heat than expected. Will definitely let serve hot meals when nothing is working no electricity no gas your neighbor is eating cold food out of a can while you and yours with My Patriot emergency food and this stove are having good tasting hot dinner in a warm room thanks to this environmentally sound equipment. It delivers what you can always expect from My Patriot"
"I think who ever invented this product should be commended. This serves two very important necessities for survival. Having food to eat and heat to keep warm WITHOUT electricity. Also, to be able to cook indoors with adequate ventilation when it's cold outside. That' great."
"Excellent cooking device! While camping in a powerless cabin we made seven meals on it and it worked very well. It's lightweight and moves and stores easily, though to keep it light the steel frame is not thick so don't drop it. The heat produced in the large cabin was enough to warm our feet but I'm sure it would have been much more effective in a smaller room. I'm very happy with the purchase and recommend it."
"Oh I want to thank you folks for getting my purchase to me so quickly it looks absolutely great I can't wait to use it right now I'm keeping it for when in need"
"We use our VESTA Heater in our 1988 26' travel trailer during our late and off season camping at our resort that open year round. We use 3 cans to insure we get adequate heat throughout and it keeps it at a comfortable temperature. The cans last 6 hours and I just set an alarm for 5 1/2 hours,if needed and change each one as they burn out. I have successfully used the fuel cans in the VESTA for cooking and heating foods in skillets and pans."
"Too soon for me to review. Haven't had a need to use it, although my main reason for buying this is heating a bedroom at night during a power outage. I'm happy that I purchased the extra canned heat packs. I can provide an updated review once I use the heater/stove."
"Haven't had a chance to use it yet. It arrived quickly and well packaged. Looking forward to using it this winter in my little cottage for warmth when electric goes out."
"I was impressed with my items I ordered and very satisfied with all but one can it came dented due to a box that was packed ackwardly. All the other#10 cans came in perfectly. Thanks"

When it comes to calorie counts in emergency food, a lot of other brands skimp to save a buck. Some even deliver as few as 1,200 calories per day. Not here. All My Patriot Supply emergency food kits provide at least 2,000 calories per person, per day – with real meals that actually taste good.
Our products are made to get you through tough times, and the packaging is built to outlast them. We seal our food in ultra-thick, four-layer resealable pouches with oxygen absorbers to lock out air, light, and moisture. And our buckets are made of extra thick polypropylene with structural reinforcements, so you can stack them as high as you need to.
