Re: 2018 UK ORPs still in boxes
I'm not sure how accurate this is but it seems to make sense: from what I've read and heard, any ration items containing dairy tend to expire first. Seems to be the case with MREs as well.

Re: surplus store MRE cases
Thanks needmorechicken, I was thinking it was kind of steep as well, but thought I'd get some feedback. My only other option for buying at a store would be to drive 2 hours to Hanscom AFB and last time I checked they were only selling individual MREs at the commissary and would not give me a price o...

surplus store MRE cases
I'm curious if this is a good deal; army barracks surplus store is selling cases of MREs with April 2019 inspection/test date $155.00/case. I live close enough to drive there so no need for shipping. Any suggestions please let me know, thanks.

Re: SEVERE diarrhea 2011 Canadian IMP
As a fwiw, I don't recall any off-taste or smell from the Turkey, Diced w/Gravy MRE, which I guess could lead one to conclude that taste and smell are not the most reliable methods for determining if a ration is safe to consume.

Re: SEVERE diarrhea 2011 Canadian IMP
I was wondering if the packaging system/method used by Canada might make illness a higher risk, then I remembered the violent reaction I had to the Turkey, Diced w/Gravy MRE many years ago, and how much better the packaging was. Not sure if the IMP packaging was necessarily an issue in this case wit...

Re: Moist Towelette — Hand Sanitizer — Disinfectant
Then of course there's always this https://www.firstlinetech.com/product/rsdl but with a couple of drawbacks: it sucks for moisturizing skin, and it appears to be highly combustible. :shock: Not to mention it's use against biological is rather questionable. Of course it does have one specific use, a...

Re: Books, movies, articles
jfko6 and Steph, have you guys ever gone to check out cold war sites in the areas where you live, such as former AT&T comms bunkers or abandoned USAF sites? There are several places around where I live that are full of cold war history; an Air Force command post bunker that's now a college records s...

Re: Reccomend some civil war movies?
I recently watched the movie "Dead Birds" although it took place during the civil war, nothing about it was remotely accurate.

Re: Books, movies, articles
Hey Steph1997 I'm not sure how much interest there is on the subject, but I just finished reading a rather interesting book by Annie Jacobsen called "Phenomena" which details the history of the government's research in ESP and psychokinesis during the cold war, including military applications. Needl...

Re: MCW at Bastogne Nuts weekend 2019
My apologies for the mis-understanding, I was asking if it was real or simulated but when you said you had no idea, I mis-understood and thought you had no idea what Zimmerit was.
