Where can I get British army ration packs?

[pauljm116]

Can anyone recommend somewhere to get British army ration packs?

I tried them last year and found them to be really good, but they're not too easy to get. Cheapest I can find is £20 each from evaq8 or theres some on ebay but I'd rather get them from a store if possible.

Plenty on ebay.

I have looked on ebay, I was hoping to find somewhere I could by a few at a time (trying to save on the postage) and pick the menus I wanted.

Vestey foods put together and supply the Operational ration pack (ORP) to the MOD.
see: http://rations.vesteyfoods.com/ration_packs.asp

Their civilian outlet with the identical ration in civvy livery is at:

http://www.beyondthebeatentrack.co.uk

The 24hr/4000 cal ration is more than enough for most peoples purposes:

And the "day ration" at 3000 cals will probably be sufficiant for most people and is £8 cheaper.

this si the only place they can Legally be got Vesty dont have any resellers all others are back door from the military (stolen) and ebay sellers do get investigated etc

My mate was offered to be an official reseller as he needed a couple of pallets for part of a supply job but the discount they gave wasn't worth it to resell on a standalone basis

Be aware many of the packs sold online are not real mod ones. A quick and easy way is to check the calorie count. Real mod rat packs clock in at 4000 calories for 24 hours, many of the ones sold online come in a 2400 calories.

If you just want rat pack style food for camping they are fine, but if your intention is for serious physical exertion they lower count packs will leave you with a deficit and energy problems.
