Briden Solutions

Is this the best emergency food ration bar available?

The Datrex Emergency Ration Bar has become a favourite among preppers, boaters, overlanders, and emergency preparedness enthusiasts for a reason.

• Up to 5 year shelf life
• 3,600 calories per pack
• 18 individually wrapped bars at 200 calories each
• Designed to withstand extreme hot and cold temperatures
• Non-thirst provoking formula
• US Coast Guard & SOLAS approved
• Ready to eat. No cooking, water, or preparation required

The taste? Think lightly sweetened coconut shortbread. Not gourmet food, but that’s not the point.

When you’re building an emergency kit, storing supplies in your vehicle, or preparing for the unexpected, reliability matters more than flavour.

Would you keep one of these in your vehicle or emergency kit?

Preparation is more than having a bag packed. It’s having the essentials covered when normal routines are no longer an option.

At Briden Solutions, every 72-hour kit is built around 8 key areas of preparedness:

-Water
-Food
-Shelter
-Health & first aid
-Light
-Heat & energy
-Communication tools
-Sanitation tools

Whether it’s a winter road closure, a power outage, an emergency at home, or an unexpected situation away from home, the goal is simple. Give you access to the things that matter most, all in one place.

Being prepared doesn’t mean expecting the worst. It means having a plan when life becomes unpredictable.

What started as a family trying to prepare for the unknown turned into something much bigger.
Briden Solutions was born out of a simple need: finding the right emergency supplies for our own family. That search led us to a company in Cardston called In Case Of, and eventually, to merging forces and building something we’re truly proud of.

When the Fort McMurray wildfires hit and we watched families fleeing with nothing, we knew we had to act. Together with Northstar Ford and our incredible customers, we helped send roughly $40,000 worth of emergency supplies north, including 72-hour kits, food buckets, and more.
That moment never left us. Every day we ask: what products actually keep people safe? What food is lighter, more nutritious, better tasting when things go sideways? Because in an emergency, you still deserve to feel human.

The world keeps reminding us why this work matters. And we keep showing up.
