Rat pack pouches - Geordie_Rob - 2 December 2012
Just wondered if anyone knows where i can get any rat pack pouches cheap. I'm busy making my pack to store in my car & although tins would do me fine I was thinking rat packs for long life + the bonus of having hot water for a cuppa at the same time
Cheers in advance peeps
Also, any alternative fuel for a hexy stove other than hexy blocks?

Not much available at the moment as is often the case when our soldiers are deployed, you tend only to come across affordable rat packs when a conflict ends and the manufacturers have excessive stock.

I noticed the prices on eBay seemed to be very high (compared to my last lot I bought in 2002 - up about 300%) but I just assumed it was due to general price increases over the 10 year period.
Cheers.

Naaa the mil chaps are using up huge amounts and the aid organisations are also using loads. Theres a civvy alternative made in Co Durham available , I'll try and find it for you.

Army surplus in towns doing them for £20-25 a box, bound to be cheaper source if you shop about

What exactly are these. Are they the puches that attach to the jackets and webbing. If so I never heard them called that.
RE: Rat pack pouches - Geordie_Rob - 2 December 2012
Skean, I'm on about the pouches of food from ration packs.
Metro, £20 a box is the average price I have found for complete 24hr ration box. Last time I bought them they were about £6 a box.
NR, cheers for the link. Ill have a look & see.

I am lucky enough to get the odd 48 ration pack for free, I know a certain man on a certain Army range that often brings me one up when he visits,... the problem seems to be that the Army seems to have gone all foriegn with their food, the last two I was kindly given we `rice this and foriegn that`,... and I am not a fan of that food.
Your Link looks very good NR
