Canadian Rations 70s-80s era
Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2016 6:56 pm
Hello all, I have a few questions on Canadian rations. I know that the Individual Ration Pack(IRP) was the type used from the 60s into the 80s, this is what I have seen:
1975 dated in a box:

1979 dated in plastic bag:

At some point between 1975 and 1979 they changed packaging, do you know what year? Then I also know that the Individual Meal Pack(IMP) was introduced in the 80s at some point but I have no idea when, what year was it introduced and replaced the IRP?
Side note here is a cool video of one from 1991:
Thanks for any help and info, also I am after 80s era Canadian rations if you are selling any or know where I could get some.
