I think the big reason for the demand is the rarity of it. I was thrilled with getting one, the actual chow was okay, but with all the comments I got after my review aired now I know what to do in the future if I ever get the opportunity and have a ton of Italian friends to ask.

We will miss you there. But the second degree is very important. That's awesome brother.cavguy wrote:Wow, wish I could come! I pretty much insured I will have no spare time for the next few years when I decided to get my second degree though....

Re: MRE Symposium and Meetup
over 700?!?!?! Wowza!!! You could supply your own army with all those rations Bob! Now I REALLY wish I was going to be there (not that I didn't already REALLY wish I could make it). I'd love to have the chance to purchase one of those British rat packs (and tons of other cool stuff)!BlackDogBob wrote:Well, scratch that last count. Just received confirmation! I will have over 700 rations at Doswell! All for trade or sale.
Re: MRE Symposium and Meetup
Damn, I really wish I could come and witness the trailer stock full of rations but- college 

Good luck and may your rations stay unspoiled!
Re: MRE Symposium and Meetup
We NEED photo documentation on that trailer!
