Meals - Ready to Eat (Military Ration Packs)
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a good UK or European supplier of Military 24hr ration packs?
I'd prefer the British Army packs rather than USA MRE's however if the price is right I may consider the Yank version.
I have looked online but can only find rip off outfits selling them at between £11 and £15 a throw! I presume these companies get them from a wholesaler for around the price I'm expecting to pay. Most of these retailers appear to only possess small numbers of rat packs. I presume their target audiance is mountaineers and ramblers etc who only ever want a few meals at a time.
I want to purchase them in bulk (say 30 days at a time). I may agree to a bulk buy of 6 months if the price is right.
I don't want any stolen hooky packs either - Our brave soldiers need all the nourishment they can get.
I see the Yanks have companies selling in bulk to the preppers. Here in the UK we are a bit behind the times in this respect.
Cash waiting for the right price. I reckon a fair price is around £7 per 24 hr meal. Shipping costs extra (cost price).
Anyone help?
I'm a former TA Infantry officer. I remember living on the old (pre 1996) compo rations! The star item being Biscuits Brown AB! We used them to mix with our porridge in the morning.
Thanking you in anticipation...
Neil
