BCB Emergency ration pack

[Kai Leingod]

I saw this while browsing a website The Bushcraft Store Emergency Ration Pack its surprisingly comprehensive and its more of survival kit its only missing the wire saw and and small flip blade knife after seeing it i have just added it to my wish list and will have one by the end of the week im just curious at what other people think of it

Price up the individual parts then subtract the things you don't need,if it comes to less than the asking price plus postage then it's poor value.
Personally I wouldn't bother.

it looks good very much like the issued ones. it would be good if you didn't mined the extra wight. its probably cheaper then making your own.

Better off with a few Mars bars and a bic lighter in a zip lock back IMO.

It's a good shop though. If you are able to go there, spend enough money and get to know them they give you things like this (a friend of mine got something similar gratis there - day ration pack I think that was).

I think it is a bit of a gimmic, If you look at what your needs would be if you found yourself in a situation that would be made a bit easyer by having an emergency ration pack, you could make one up up for a fraction of the price, and it would probably be a darn site tastier.imo.

I had one of these given to me, sat in my rucksack for years and got battered till it was almost flat.
One boring night (at this point it must have been about 5 years old) i decided i needed to find out what was in it.
Safe to say it took an age to get in the 'tin' as its actually thick alloy foil, the sweets were stuck to the packs, the mint cake was like sugar powder and was mixed with coffee.

I could see the idea behind it
- hexi Blocks for a fire
- Tin for a cooking pot, add water and coffee
- Sweets and other assorted junk
- nice little 'how to' guide to read

You probably have all that stuff at home anyway, and it would fit into a tabacco tin with a bit of jiggery pokery

i think it would cost me 900 calories to open the tin :-D
