Hi!
I'm quite new to this comunity, but i wanted to do this post as soon as i was accepted into this forum...
I'm sorry to say this, but the ''cold weather reinforcement'' rations, or acesory packages or 24h rations etc... of the spanish army are fake. I've seen that some people in the forum bought them from ebay and i wanted to avoid that more people made the same mistake.
This ''rations'' are sold mainly by a seller called ''m4driles2011'' http://www.ebay.com/usr/m4driles2011
(What angers me even more is that the seller is, in fact, spanish)
This rations are actually just normal (low quality, to make it even better... ) food you could find in any Mercadona(a spanish brand of supermarket), they have a weack shelf life and dont cost more than a couple of bucks to get them from a supermarket.
They look like this, the tricky part about this seller, is that on some of his fake rations, he took the time to add real spanish MRE, here you can see two real spanish MREs with the infamous fake bag... You can see on the spanish MRE reviews(sadly there are reviews from the stuff this man sells too...) that every item inside a spanish MRE is branded by the spanish army, packaged in a NATO green container (as for the common rations)
The spanish army in situations of need will give the soldiers extra food, in form of reinforcement meals, that can be nutricional shakes, a reinforcement pack, containing 2 chocolate and nuts bars 30gr each, 2 bars of spanish traditional nougat 20gr each(its not at all nougat, but google translator translates the original spanish word to nougat... if anyone gets his hands on one of those, they are really worth trying ), one highly nutricional bar of 30gr, 2 ''defatigante'' pills(i dont know the translation, but two pills for muscular tiredness, most likely glucose, electrolytes and some more excipients like caffeine and vitamins, not sure, just expeculating here) and 3 doses of honey or jam 25gr or one tube of 75gr

I will try to make soon a extended post on Spanish MRE and army food so that everybody can take a look at the real spanish mres without falling in scams


PS: if anyone has data on this seller and they dont mind, they could forward it to me i could put a notification to the police and ebay for scamming and at least the guy would get his profile shut...

Also, i'm not a native english speaker so if there is anything nto correctly explained just comment it and i will make a correction thank you kindly

Thanks for the warning on these rations!

I bought from this seller, so I'm surprised to hear this. I just purchased a French RCIR from him about a month ago. Everything went great, fast shipment and arrived without any problems. But I never would have guessed he would do something like this, thanks for the warning.

It could be that someone sold him cases of supermarket goods, disguised as military rations and he bought them. He may not even know of what he is selling. In any case, thanks for the heads up.

The white boxed rations are sold by him as civil rations, not as military. The white bagged ones sold as cold weather rations are definately wrong.

I woudlnt think so... the username is m4driles, which stands for ''madriles'' a common way to call the city of madrid, so he is from madrid most likely and what he sells are common products from spain most famous supermarket, he sells also cured meats, the cheap ones at 4 or 5 times its price...
I'd presonally recomendnot to buy from him, to discourage that kind of behaviour...

This is the same seller that I bought a French RCIR from and its late. Be interesting to see if it shows up or if I get some compensation of any kind.

That guy also sales his faked rations on ebay.de

Damn, I bought a GERMAN EPA Combat Ration from him. I hope it's legit.
