Guinea pigs needed - romanian ration prototype

Post by ak70g2 » Sat Feb 25, 2012 12:12 pm

Because I want to make a military ration prototype for some Romanian Army guys that are in the "Golden Sands" areas (Iraq, Afghanistan and Chad), I want to make some prototypes using strictly commercial cans, sweets and so on. It will be modelled after RCIR and EPa.

If someone want to test and share the opinions (critics needed badly), I gladly enlist some help. First one asked will be sw342pd, I have to send him some stuff in a couple of weeks.

I can send anything through romanian custom, labeled as "camping supplies - gift". I don't have too much experience with USPS, my parcel for Bypah took 3 months to arrive and was the only one sent to US. I sent 2 to Norge (outside EU) and he received both, last year.

Cracker already did both things and survived :D

I have to make some menus, to pack in some bags and send them to you, I think you're the best tester, because you're a active/outdoor person. So, you're the first to try. :D

Nope. I'll use only romanian made stuff, and I don't think something like is found on your side of the pond. Maybe Luis may be tasted, in Spain is a large Romanian minority and they have their own food stores.

So, if you want, send a PM with your adress.
