Looking for New Zealand and Dutch

Ok guys. It's just what the subject says. Looking for a 24 hour ration from both New Zealand and from Denmark. If you have one you are willing to part with, please PM me.
Thanks!

Denmark rations wouldn't be Dutch. So are you looking for rations from Denmark, New Zealand and the Netherlands? Danish rations come all in one, with freeze dried entrees while Dutch rations come separated - a pack that contains the snacks, drinks, sides, etc and then the canned entrees come completely separate from the rest of the boxed ration.

I should add - definitely not trying to be a jerk, heh.

The NZ rations may be the hardest. I've never found them for sale in the US. Some ration reviewers on YouTube have been able to work out trades or have them sent directly, but they don't seem to have ever shown up on eBay. I have one NZ meal that I've found over the years that I'm going to use for a micro review, but it's just the pouched entree itself.

Dutch are pretty regularly available on ebay.de - the canned meals though may be harder to find. Danish I've only personally found one time. I bought three. I ate one and reviewed it here, gave one to steve19189 to review, and have one for the museum to keep. At the time I bought them the seller had quite a few, but they disappeared afterward and haven't been back with any more. That said they weren't ridiculously priced either - $25 or $30 each after shipping if I recall.

All said though - some pretty high sights to set - good luck sir!

Haha. Sorry. Yes, looking for Danish. Thanks for the clatification. Typed that in a hurry. BTW, the buddy I told you about with the private military museum says he has some stuff for you. I'm supposed to pick it up early August as we are moving westward. So far, we have a WWII mess kit, some C Rats, and the coolest (I think) is the odds and ends he has from WWI. He said he will keep looking. He thinks he has a WWII Russian Mess kit. Will keep you posted.

Surplus and Outdoors in the UK has Dutch rations in stock right now, and they will ship to the US. Shipping is a little high, but if they're the only way to get them, maybe it's worth it. I've purchased British 24-hr ration packs, French RCIRs, and Dutch rations from them before and have been pleased. Their international shipping is pretty quick too, with the last couple of times being about 1 week to the US from the UK. They also have German survival / iron rations as well.

Here's the link:

Hope this helps!
