Getting started..

Post by RationDad » Fri Sep 01, 2017 1:36 am

Hello all, this is my first post to these forums, and im excited! I am new to all of this although I did eat several Mres during my time in the Army. My kids who are 11 and 4 and I love watching Steve and Gundog on youtube, and we are hooked. So basically I am asking for any info on how to acquire different ration types for us to try, we arent picky but trying to be as financially responsible as possible.. So please if anyone has any ideas on where we can get different rations from the US to pretty much anywhere else, im sure mykiddos and I would greatly appreciate it. thanks!

Hello and welcome!

Check out BlackDogBob's Thread:

He's also got some IMPs for sale. (I picked some up a few weeks ago)

I also buy from Treesuit who occasionally has some grab bag items when they're available:

There are also some great sellers (who are also MRE forums members)on eBay:

My advice is to shop around eBay. Lots of decent sellers for international rations. However international rations from US seller's tend to go for a premium price, but you would not have to worry about customs with them or lengthy shipping time.

At present I have 3 non US 24hre rations which I would sell for what they cost me plus shipping. I'm in Ireland. Have two polish 24 hr and 1 French that I'd sell at present because I'd like to fund buying different rations. I only buy rations out of "spare" money really
