Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
i know still its all about how things are worded, plus the bigger the order the cheaper its likely to be, end of the day worst they can say is no, if you dont ask you dont get. they wanna sell their stuff at a price to make money we wanna buyit at a price to save money its finding the happy medium.
So just got through their pricing list inc delivery, bout 15£ per 24 hr box the single meal pouch's about 3£ each time to politely haggle a see if I can work them down on a bulk buy.
The MRE's used by the Swedish Army is £22 - 25 (3700 kcal), so £15 sounds like a bargain to me...
Which company was it? I know one of the girls who heads up the team responsible for ration packs at the Logistic place in Bristol, must drop her a line to see if she has any gen.
The one I thought it was was vestry you see their name on a load of the stuff in side the ration packs but another guy I know said it myt actually be a company called westlerfoods so I'm gonna be looking into that. Cos these prices are steep "here ze list"
Mountain house one person meals £3-4 each
Mountain house 2 person £5.33 each .
mountain house time £16.39 - 43.33 each.
10 man ration packs £59.26 each.
24hr ration packs £15.25 each,
beyond the beaten track 24hr box £15.25 each.
Btbt day packs £9.47 each.
Btbt flow wrapped individual meals £2.25-2.50 each.
Btbt non flow (whatever that means) £2.25 each.

Interesting, effectively £1.50 ish each once delivered. I had to laugh when looking into the details that the manufacturer has decided to increase the BBE of May 2014 to May 2015, good on them, had some left over then!
Yeah, but its only a BB date... so should be good for ages.

Hopefully yep, the foil meals keep well usually, the beef jerky and nut mixes out of ratpaks certainly do not, in fact the jerky has been known to clear a room.
Its mainly the hot meals I'm interested in anyway... so buying the full pack @ £15 seems unlikely.

It would be your last meal, that stuff was as rotten and rank as prawns in your curtain rails or electrical sockets, huhum, so I have been told.
I was mulling over the idea of doing a GB for Soylent complete liquid food but an EU sourced version. The US soylent is expensive and there is major supply lag.
It is a powder containing all the nutrients the body needs and it contains over 2000 kcals. You make it up with water and just drink it whenever you choose. It isn't a slimming aid, it is designed to replace solid food and it comes in 4 flavours.
I thought it would be an interesting thing to try and of course it is an easy and light food source when out and about. It is fast to prepare and convenient to use.
I don't think they do a Soylent Green version!

Good call.
I'd be up for MRE's if anyone can find a good source for these, I've not been able to source these at a 'reasonable' price and within date, I do like these

It's a question, I have never had these and would like to know people's thoughts.
I've just used a 2001 us mre, sausage in creamy gravy yuck. The packs cost around £8.00
