My current rations collection

Post by QuickBricks » Tue Nov 19, 2019 11:06 am

This is my very first post here and I am very excited to be a part of this community!

With that out of the way, please enjoy a few pictures of my current ration collection. I must first give credit where
credit is due to Steve1989MREinfo for getting me motivated in collecting these again. I collected rations as a kid through both
desert storm campaigns due to my uncle being a pilot during that. Now Steve has reignited my love for collecting rations! Thanks bud!

I have been primarily focusing on WW2 rations, but have recently collected a few Vietnam and Korean war rations/components.

I plan to go more in depth with these at a later time, but would like to start documenting these as soon as possible.

Feel free to ask any questions about these.

Cheers

Pressing F to pay my respects to the bank account.
All the best, Gents.

My bank account thanks you for the kind words but still can't feel it's legs... it will likely be in a wheel chair for a while :(

Wow, you don’t mess around! Jumping right into it with the big-time stuff. Very impressive. I, too give my condolences to your bank account. Hope you had enough first aid supplies on-hand to stop the bleeding when you got torn a new (you get the idea).

Haha! No med kits unfortunately although I am searching.

I go for complete kits or nothing at all, so it's been difficult to say the least when medical components are involved they're usually "missing" or abused and depleted.

And yes, I am addicted to rations... I literally just bought a 1944 AAF Emergency Parachute Ration in great condition!

My bank account says shes moving out on my next purchase and getting a new sugar daddy who respects her more. ( what she doesn't know is I have another bank account who I love more ;)

Cheers

I just checked Steve's review on youtube of that. I love those style of ration packs. They include so many useful things. I always imagine being lost in the wild but
having one of those. How big of a boost would that be! So many useful things.
