Wow! Those are some really great photos. :D I have to admit it was a real sight to see some of these rations. I was in awe on the ultra rare "Individual Assault Food Packet" it was great to see a real one. Also on the original MCI's, C-rations, 5 in 1, 10 in 1 and the early C-ration packages. The only downside is that most, if not all, of those cans were rusting or had ruptured. :( Some looked good. Does anyody know how long it took to complie this collection?

I was in contact with the owner last year, whe he bought the case of FSR from me, but I never asked him how long it took. To me - an eternity...

It was designed especially for the 10th Mountain division. It made up a big percentage of the divs vehicle strength…
Simon, thanks for that info, it is a very nice vehicle, I think to drive with it would be really fun :D .

You are right Brian, many ration parts are in very bad condition :cry: :cry: . The meat and fruit cans have to be emptied, so that the “rotting process” could be stopped :!: :!: . I would do that gladly, but I have to drive 180 km to the museum :( . It would be a pleasure for me to restore that rare rations 8) :D !

So long mreheater72
