Norwegian Tropical Ration

Post by gundog4314 » Fri Jul 08, 2016 10:31 pm

I recently looked at Nordic's post of the Norwegian Arctic Ration by drytech and he mentioned the Tropical Climate ration produced by Vesty Foods UK Ltd. Well I dug through my closet of goodies and low and behold had one. I haven't been able to find out anything else about them on the internet. I think this is just for 1 meal but when I added the kcal's it was 2,025...so maybe only 2 are issued per day???? I'm sure it's there somewhere but here are a few sneak peeks before the vid which will post on Wednesday.

That thing is pretty cool! It really is almost like a single meal version of a British ORP with it's contents - but that FRH is something new - gonna be nice checking this one out once you got it uploaded.
BTW, that Malaysian was a juggernaut - and was pretty unusual. Now we just gotta get you a Russian Mountain Ration to try out - that thing was awesome!

You will enjoy the Bean & Pasta Salad, even though it's 400 grams of it it's pretty light meal. I ended up mixing the tuna in there too. Pretty delish! Oh and one thing I noticed after taking pics of the menu sheet: It says I should have got peanut butter and actually got squidge....not that I was complaining though! Enjoy!
