Hopefully, he will have access to YouTube, and we can (finally!) get some reviews of the North Korean field rations. Steve1989 has been remiss in this regard, frankly.

“Nice! Let’s get this out on to a tray”

I think the North Koreans would also like to see what their rations look like! lol

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 get a chance to test any of the components out? I think he decided to just have the ...

I doubt the new MCW Pro Pak meals will be in civillian packing, but it wouldn't be something we havent seen before;
Trial run (which may affect the packing I guess) Long Life Ration Packet (LLRP) from 1990.

Agree with tex, maybe 2 ukrainian rats and a whole buncha noodles

Amelie, the marble pound cake is a real treat. Hoping you can find a reasonable source for them. Just looked it up and found 6 for $25 from a seller on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/125173461889?hash=item1d24eb7381:g:eZgAAOSwdYxiHA8V&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwKiJIo6g5kt3Zq78eH76DugsMRebHj%2FreJ2Hp%2Bl...

One with much less maltodextrin and 50 less calories. Gotta come back with a picture. Oh marble cake and po...

Its possible you got one of the last "old" menu lineup cases? The menu sheet on the DOD site did say "late" 2022, which I would assume would be Q4, and with august right at the end of Q3 I think a month or two later pack date would definitely have the new ones. Exited for menu 6... biscuits and chic...

Are you sure these arent 1992? I had some 1998 RCWs and the cookie bar and granola bars came individually packed, much like in the LRPs from 1998 - Plus iirc the last cases of RCWs were packed in early 1999

Double packing lasagna has gotta be one of their better moves

the LRP bags actually never swapped over from the 2007 style. So in reality it is likely from 2004-2016. Not seen any LRP made after 2016 sadly
