Shop Emergency Prep & Ration Packs

Ration packs are one of the simplest ways to stay prepared, whether you’re heading into the bush for a few days or putting together food supplies for unexpected situations. Instead of buying meals one by one, ration packs give you a complete, pre-planned food setup with enough calories, variety, and shelf life to cover anything from overnight hikes to multi-day trips and emergency preparedness. At Hiking Food Australia we stock one of the biggest ranges of ration packs in Australia, including freeze-dried meal kits, ready-to-eat field rations, and long-life emergency food buckets from brands like Back Country Cuisine, Offgrid Provisions, and more.

Ration packs are widely used not just by hikers and campers, but also for home preparedness, remote travel, work sites, and vehicle kits. Long shelf life, compact storage, and simple preparation make them ideal to keep on hand in case of power outages, natural disasters, or situations where access to normal food is limited. Some packs focus on ultra-light freeze-dried meals for weight-critical trips, while others use dehydrated or ready-to-eat foods that can be eaten cold or with minimal heating, making them better suited to emergency storage or car-based setups.

You’ll find options here ranging from single-day ration packs through to multi-day buckets designed for long-term storage, so you can choose the level of preparedness that suits your setup. Whether you’re building an emergency kit, stocking your camping gear, or planning a longer trip, ration packs make it easy to know you’ve got food sorted.

Not sure which pack to choose? Our guide explains the differences between freeze-dried meals, field rations, and emergency food buckets, and what to look for in calories, weight, and shelf life.
