looking for some of these, cardboard packaging only. i just ate a 1996 dated one and it was perfectly fine, so i guess anything newer than that must be good right :D

Welcome to the forums!

While I don't have any for sale or trade I thought it'd be worth mentioning that I've snagged all my survival food packets (tins, cans, with or without the cardboard outer package) from eBay auctions. I'd suggest creating a search for them and saving that search so you can check it regularly or have eBay notify you when items appear on that list. There are usually several of these available each month for decent prices. If you're buying them specifically to eat I'd highly recommend just getting Datrex or Mainstay bars with a modern production date instead as you'll save a ton of money.

If you just really like the contents of the survival packets, they're usually compressed corn flake bars which you can find now and then, here and there. There's an army surplus store in Idaho Falls, Idaho that usually carries the corn flake bars by themselves for something like 99 cents each, but in general they're pretty rare.

Cheers,

Do you know of any companies that might sell them?
