Hi guys i will first introduce myself, I'm Cédric and come from the Netherlands.
Little while ago i came across a video of Steve and then Gundogg, and before i knew i was watching stickyfingas, rc gusto and gschultz and the ration fever got me :P
But to the point i'm collecting some various ration's and MRE's and also send two dutch one's to Steve already and today i came across something that just has steve written all over it but can't find any information about.
It's as you can see in the tittle about a 60's ocean emergency ration out of Norway from the seven oceans company that still exists.
So one of you guys ever came across these?

Welcome
I must say I am fascinated with civilian emergency meals made for boating, wilderness survival or the Cold War bomb shelter.
Looking forward to reading about any information found on these rations

Wow!

Rations older than me.

So what do we think is in this tin? Just the Liferaft biscuits (The sugary fatty kind) or sweets and hard tack?

Have you been in touch with Seven Oceans to see if they have archive inventory?

I love the fact that the tin is printed in English and the Cardboard cover in Norwegian?

Thanks for the welcome! i haven't contacted seven oceans yet only if i can't find anything in the next week.
And if it's interesting enough i might donate it to a reviewer who has a taste for these kind of ration's :lol:
also cant wait to find out what's inside i bought with almost no info and the seller didn't know what he had.
