Acc packet from a 1951 Ration, Individual, Trail Frigid TF-2.
Missing 1 pack of matches & gum. And two of three spoons missing.

Incredible example! This has to be next on my list to replicate. So much good material here in craftable containers. Only thing missing is a scale for measurements.

Happy Thanksgiving right back at ya!

Here is my Thanksgiving post on the ChowLine FB page. Some nice photos of WWI hard bread for everyone there.

I have run into this situation before as well, three times actually. In each instance it occured with unopened MRE's dated to the early 2010s. In each case I opened them and found much of the contents covered in the same greasy/ oily substance. The only common item in all three was the peanut butter...

Yes, I think they found a case of them. Someone on a facebook group posted about these, which is where I found out about them. As for the e-bay listing, it does appear to be the exact same crate and contents, also shipping is the same. I wonder how much the e-bay listing will sell for? At $150 shipp...

if anybody is interested in one of these i've found its twin https://www.paratrooper.fr/en/original/32277-us-army-field-ration-d-early-production-3000000281000.html of special note is dirt cheap Faust coffee. i just got some in from there, arrived in 5 days flat and the cans were absolutely pristin...

Is this from that gsrelics guy on ebay? He is the one who was pedaling those sketchy "WWII ration gum boxes" that were fake, and who also sold Steve1989 a fake K ration supper unit. He also has some "original" sealed k ration biscuits, which look just like some he is selling with some repro K ration...

I actually have that seller saved! Not sure how I missed these, oh well I guess lol

so looking through the sold listings the guy has sold 13 so far. first batch was $10ea + 6.15 shipping, second batch was $55 + 7.55 shipping i think you can count on some popping back up from flippers and by people who get them and realize they've got nothing to do with K rations Who is the seller?

I have now acquired these two rations. Thank you to fellow ration enthusiasts who offered them up for sale, they have a great home now.
