Commercial version of AUS ration?

Post by elandil » Wed Oct 15, 2014 7:26 pm

Came across this in my searches for foreign rations.

http://www.cadetshop.com.au/24hr-pack-ready-to-eat.html

Based on what I've seen on the website and comparing to GunDog's video, it looks like it has 1 retort pouch instead of 2, no cheese, and some small sundries may be missing, like matches, green scrubbie, and the can opener. But, considering how hard it is to get a real AUS Ration....It may be an option.

You're basically spot on. The civvy version is the same minus what you listed. The link you posted has the packs for 38AUD while there are several listing on ebay for the real thing for 40AUD buy it now. Might as well get the real deal if you're prepared to pay that price.

This seller has a couple of menus available:

Thankyou for the links, guys!

That is a little expensive - but it seems like for just about any International rations you spend about $30-$60 per here in the US when you include shipping.

The cheapest International Rat I ever got was a Lithuanian Ration (exp 2015 so fresh) for $16 including ship.

I remember going crazy bidding on a AUS ration 2 years ago - my crazy self went into what Housil calls 'asshat' and I went into full blown asshat mode & bid $60 on one and like $12 ship totaling at $72..! Worst part is when I did a photo set, that hard drive storing the review was destroyed along with about $3,000 in other ration photo sets for MREinfo reviews... :? :x :cry:
