Great Haul from First FL MVPA Rally and a Mystery LRP??
Hi All, Great haul last weekend from the First Florida MVPA Rally by Jacksonville. It never disappoints for ration hunting. Beautiful 1950 Food Packet Individual Assault, nice early 2 piece RCW and some early LRP's https://i.ibb.co/rvdJG9C/IMG-1482.jpg Oddly enough for the FPIA, an oddly burst 1950 ...

Re: Anyone want to do another meetup ?
Time for one, definitely. This hobby needs a shot in the arm. I live in Md., but will drive as far as Ohio then I can do a pilgrimage to Jungle Jim's. There are a fair amount of us "ration" collectors in the Mid-Atlantic, I'm outside of Gettysburg (as are a couple others), I know another guy on thi...

Re: Every Cigarette Brand used in the MCI from 59, till the end in 72
I forgot about those dreaded Chelseas. :lol: Wonder how many more brands & size packs are out there that we're missing. If I ever see Fleetwoods again, they turn up in old K rats as well, I'll likely keep em sealed. Don't like smokin K rat cigs, they're usually a mess. Good score on those 10 in 1 p...

Lol since going down this rabbit hole, yes I did find it was missing "Tarreyton". Problem solved, problem staying solved :) https://i.ibb.co/wcNyYsy/IMG-1165.jpg As far other cig's, for K's and stuff before the MCI. I've got enough WW2 samples as well as complete issued packs (10 in 1), still in the...

Re: 1980(ish) Natick Labs Prototype Emergency/Assault Packet (Marine Corps)
is there a chance to see pictures of your collection ? :D cheers ken Sure but its nothing overtly special, kind of a general walk from the M1916 "kit" going forward. The older I get, the more I realize how important the logistics of Meals come into everything and are a direct representation of that...
