ISO British 24 hr ORP

[kwiklot]

So I don't have a line on any of these and I don't know how fresh ebay would be, anyone have any authentic ones sitting around for trade or buy?

There is a surplus store in the UK that sells the 24-hr British packs and will ship to the US (the only one that I'm aware of that will). The link is:

They also carry French RCIRs and Dutch rations, and I think Polish ones as well now. The U.K. and French rations I've bought from them have all been very fresh.

yeah im surprised you were not aware of this site bob, is anyone here familiar with british rations? They have a cold weather ration as well as a jungle one and a 12 hour ration.
anyone familiar on where to get those or is a 24 rat pack going to be a fix all? i also heard the brits got rid of their cold weather in favor of the 24 hr

You bet Bob! I've ordered from them three times now, and they're great. Super-fast shipping to the US also (about a week). Shipping is a little high, but it's international, so there's really no way around it. Enjoy!

yeah they shipped my order on the 23rd and it arrived in america on the 25th so now comes the wait. just figured i would check on here for anyone willing to part with some orp's before buying some lol because if i go that route im liable to order a whole case.

I am a huge fan of the UK ration packs! I have actually tried most all of them except the jungle ration and the newer 12hr packs.

The 12 hour rations are pretty new and basically similar to 1/2 of a regular ration pack, they can be bought on ebay UK.

The jungle rations I believe are still being developed and I have never seen them for sale.

The cold weather "Arctic" ration packs are top notch, but VERY VERY rare to find for sale. The are usually only issued out to troops training in Norway and such. I have seen one pack for sale on ebay Uk in the last 5-6 years.

Your best bet is ebay UK and stick with the regular 24hr Operational Ration Pack. For shipping I have used Parcelforce, UPS and DHL and all worked ok. I think Parcelforce was the cheapest. A case of 10 can usually be had for about 100GBP, or under. They also come in different styles like, Halal and Vegetarian, which in my personal opinion are both better than the normal A + B case, but again these are rarer and more expensive if you can find them.

i figured as much with the cold weather ration. thanks for the info cavguy parcel force seems to be the go to. seeing all the condensed milk and rations the brits have make me now know our mre's are a little sparse.
