Here is the summary.  I didn't have very many responses.

 A couple ask what they were.

A couple others said they were O.K., but you wouldn't want to eat them a
lot, not real tasty.

Another said we could get them at a sports store in the "backpack food"
section.

This last one I am going to cut and paste because it was the most info I
received on it.

I got one of the Five Day Packs to try.  I received fifteen different
packages.  I tried some of them on a backpacking trip where weight was a
concern and they worked very well for that.  They were quick and handy
meals.  I just added boiling water to all of them.  The scrambled eggs were
not my favorite.  The vegetables were fine.  I supplemented some of the
meals with instant brown rice and instant mashed potatoes so there would be
enough for two of us.  I would use these meals for emergency purposes in the
future but not necessarily for planned meals.  I felt they were worth trying
and the five year shelf life is nice.

A couple more comments, the individual packets are label GF, but a note with
the packing slip from Alpineaire Foods (the manufacture) states that they
are a manufacturing facility which produces both gluten free and gluten
containing products.

Because of the last comments about the manufacturing facility, I believe
that I will probably not spend my $75 on them.  I'll stick with tuna, peanut
butter, make up some of my bread and freeze it, and whatever I can get at
the local grocery as we go through town.

Thanks again for the responses.
