Nice photo, thanks! One thing I love about this website is the high quality pics you people put here. Unfortunately I am not very skilled at doing pics so most of my posts will not contain them.

Thanks everyone for replies. Proper nutrition in cold environments has been an issue with armies for a long time and of course the weight of carrying individual rations must also play a part in determining what to put in them for maximum nutritional value versus weight.

I love that website http://coldwar-c4i.net and I did see the pics on there of the greenbriar bunker museum with the cases of MountainHouse food stacked in the tunnel. I'm guessing that MountainHouse is their provider, as it would be ideal for long term use, and sure beats starving! Of course how muc...

Thanks for reply housil, i figured the chocolate was a morale boost as it seems to be in probly every other nation's rations which contain it.

Not sure if housil or others from europe might have come across this but I recall reading, many years ago, in a SOF-type magazine, that during ww2, the German army in Russia had a rather bizarre way of treating cold weather casualties which involved the feeding of liquified or semi-liquified fats to...

Hello all, I'm glad to be here as I have always been interested in the subject of rations and during my military service I had the "opportunity" if u will, to eat several with good results for the most part, lol! I'm curious if anyone here would know what food systems AT&T used in their series of ha...
