Hey guys, so I was reading that ration pack post on here the other day and it got me thinking quite a few people like the ease of ration packs but their expensive to get hold of. So I contacted the company that supplies them to the M.O.D. they would be willing to sell them but need to know numbers before they can give me any prices. So if I was to buy some in who'd be interested?
 
I've put a request in for a general estimate per pack still waiting back. And they'll be the military ones as being produced right now.

Also just to point out if its a big enough order we could get our own menus made up but that incur extra charges.

If they are coming straight from the factory... what are the chances of just getting the main meals you heat up, rather than the entire pack? That would be of more interest to me.
 
£5-6 for a full pack would be a bargain. As HillBill has stated just the main meals would be a bigger bonus.
 
£5 or £6 is a good price for a full 24hr pack. I'd be happy with that, and would likely buy by 10's at those prices.
If we could get the Main meals cheap then thats good also. Must be cheaper than those civvi type ones you can get. Quid each is good.... i'd buy a hundred. :)
 
I will likely need to buy around 35-50 over the next few months for a scout event, so could be interested - price dependant of course. Would likely be happy to pay anything up to about £8 - £10 each, but from memory, I think we have previously attempted to buy from source, and they come out substantially more costly than that. Could be wrong though!
 
Count me in too. I can tell you now though that I can't see them quoting anything like the prices you are hoping for. Most people spend between £8 and 12 for what are effectively second had packs. I would guess they would want around £20 for new. I would be delighted to be proved wrong though.
