Treesuit, the price of the rations is definately not the problem. 10 Dollars is a great price for a 24-hour ration, and especially for a 95% copy of a highly-desired FSR. The only thing that gives me headaches are the insane shipping prices. I´m new to over-seas shipping, so I did not expect the shipping costs for two FSRs to be so high. With shipping and all it would be 65 Dollars (50 Euros) for two 24-hour rations and that´s a tad too much. I really appreciate your offer to trade stuff but that won´t decrease shipping costs. I hope you understand what I´m trying to say.

I´m not saying "no" for 100% but I really need to think about it and I believe the best is to wait and rethink it.

Homer Jay,
Could you pay just the shipping price for now? I double checked and one will fit nicely into a USPS medium flat rate box. So that will bring down the shipping cost.

I'll buy one when you still have one at the time I put through my next order.. sounds nice

Sure, someone may one day kill me with my own gun.
But they'll have to beat me to death with it because it's empty.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

Treesuit, if the postal fees to Romania is not a killer, I think I'd like to have one or two.

Guys,
No problem. I'll take everybody's name down and see how many I can turn out. Right now the first two go out to Cablemonkey and Norge. For those of you PM'ing me with orders don't worry I will make some and contact you with shipping details. Which ever FSR gets to whichever forum member that will be the first one to do a food review.

I received mine today and am impressed.
This would be an excellent gift for that outdoors someone or even anybody interested in simply discovering what MREs are all about. I could also see it being busted out as a quick, convenient trail side snack feeding multiple riders on one of our side-by-side/atv adventures as well. Nice variety; like the printed menu and a real value (obviously) at this price.
Very much appreciated, Treesuit!

Hungryman,
You very welcome and enjoy. For all you other guys the response here has been most positive and I have more made up. If you do contact me and order one I do take paypal. Just provide me your e-mail address linked to your account and I will send an invoice. I did find out that one FSR will fit comfortably into a USPS flat rate medium box so the shipping will not be so painful. So for you guys that put in a request for one or two can you forward a e-mail to me please? Thanks.
I say that because I worked out a deal with Homer Jay and it went smooth. His is on the way as we speak.
But alas no one has come forward with a food review? Stange?
