Defective Solar Power The Sidekick solar generator I purchased in February charged fine off a wall outlet. But, after using the generator I wanted to try charging it up using the solar panel. After picking a couple of bright sunny days and charging it for over 14 hours the generator was only 27% charged. I contacted 4Patriots and thinking it was the solar panel they sent a new one. The new panel was DOA. The panel never charged the generator and doesn't even stay on when exposed to sunlight. I'm disappointed in a company who supports our veterans would have such faulty equipment. Come to find out also the equipment isn't even American made (China and Viet Nam). Understandably, it may be difficult to find this equipment made in America but the quality control over what they sell is lacking. I will be returning all of the equipment.

Survival & Practical This company sells so many life saving items. I just added 4 of their quality solar flashlights for instance. Take a look at their items, you won't be disappointed.

Buyers beware - low grade product Like many have found the projection of what this company offers vs what it delivers is very different. All of my blue bags of the 4 week emergency supply came mostly unreadable. I now see that the label just wipes off with my fingers. One bag broken and 7 unreadable upon delivery. Was sent 7 replacement bags and had exactly the same issue. Clearly these bags failed the production cycle or they are just old stock. I was understanding in my first email and now I am just annoyed. I will not purchase another single overpriced product, thank God I didn’t buy more! Clearly they don’t care about their projection of a a great American company once they sold you the product.

Great PR buy forget the LOGO display. I've ordered all or most of the products, some in Mutiple quantities (Ie food and solar equipment). Customer service is great. I would give 5 stars except for one MAJOR issue: The last solar panel group I got (3 panels) were left street side with the SOLAR PANEL 4 PATRIOTS logo promiately displayed so the 200 cars a day that drive by could see what I was being delivered. So much for secretcy.

Typically I have been very happy but recently ??!!! Typically I have been very happy and satisfied with 4Patriot and have ordered many items from them. Recently ordered 3month supply XL, and received two of the four shipments several days from each other and the boxes were open, one layer of packaging tape, and the one tote lid was open and not locked down. No packing slips with any of the shipments, so not sure if I even received everything that was suppose to be sent. Tried calling customer service 3xs with the 2nd and 3rd time leaving a callback to no avail. Overall quite disappointed with how the packages were sent and poor follow up after repeated attempts to contact them.
