Another great purchase from the Amazon REIR vendor. Arrived in perfect condition with an extra treat. Contacted him before purchase to see what he had in terms of Cassoulet. Got 3 and 1 Chili con Carne. $89.99, FedEx shipping included.

I've just put in an order again with an Amazon vendor for 4 RIERs for $89USD. If you type in French RCIR in Amazon, he pops up in the first ten items. He ships FedEx from Poland, I think.

The guy in WA was the vendor I got the T9. There are a couple YT reviews on the bags saying they are a civilian version of the RCIR. Kind of makes sense since all the food items are essentially commercially available in stores.
