Re: Unknown ration

That squad signed Ukrainian ration is probably one of the cooler things out there. 120 different mains? Absolutely fascinating. I wonder if there's a list of menus available to see what they'll be.

Hopefully they make some camo packs for those and it's not like that LLRP. Those were prototypes at least.
Thanks for sharing the photos Amelie, I'm glad the museum could get a chance to check one out. Did Ruleryak test any of the components out?

I like the fact that the new meals are "clean" and have:

No Artificial Colors
No Artificial Flavors
No Artificial Preservatives


Hey Cavguy, I wonder if this will reduce the shelf life for long term storage? Less artificial ingredients is much more appealing, nonetheless.

Re: Unknown ration

Might be the Ukrainian 24hr at the bottom middle of this picture. This one is 9 years old, though. Has the vacuum sealed pack of salo. I've seen single meal Ukrainian rations produced in 2022. Maybe it's one of those, but then again, I think that one has text on the outer pack. The one in that horri...

Re: Bought a crate of 1945 coffee

Great investment! I'll bet in 10-20 years the value will increase tremendously, as most of the other cases will be opened up and single cans sold off.

Anyone try this Faust coffee out yet? Soluble blend.. curious if it's overly acidic.

Re: 2022 Meal, Cold Weather MCW Case is Still the Same

Hey Ken! I must have missed your post on your MCWs, gotta go back and read. Thank you for clarifying and helping me learn. Too bad that's what is going on for the quality. This seems almost unacceptable for a US ration though and very much hope they can fix the issue and maintain the lower cost of p...

Re: 2022 Meal, Cold Weather MCW Case is Still the Same

Those 2019s should be okay. I've seen 2021 and 2022's both having these issues with the vacuum seals. Hoping the latest ones with the new menus are in better shape. Perhaps these were factory rejects that failed inspection, and were tossed... possibly fished out of a dumpster, so to speak. Then reso...
