TomBettle Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Whilst in Alderney, Mark Bessant had a supply of single person 24 hour ration packs in various versions. You get Breakfast, Dinner, Chocolate, Biscuits, Sweets, Coffee, Pate and savoury biscuits, Soft drink powder (add water). These were brilliant and each 24 hour pack was in a small box of about 20cm x 15cm x 15cm weighing around 1.5kg. The hot meals were simply warmed up by sticking in the kettle or soaking in hot water for a while (Boil in the bag for want of a better word) and the rest was straight out of the pack stuff. They have a very long 6 or 7 year shelf life as they are all sealed in aluminium foil. Now we are not talking gourmet cooking here, but by eck he made me feel hungry when he was stuffing his face with Beef Stew and Dumplings or whatever it was... These things retail in Camping Shops at around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swainiac Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Guys ........ one thing that you need to realise about rat pacs.........they are high protein/low waste, so that the enemy doesnt catch you with your pants down, so to speak. So you may feel a little bunged up after eating them for a few days!!!!! Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedger Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Compo rations.......... The solution to the problem comes in the form of a little white tablet or for the wimps, some seemingly ordinary choc bar. Strictly, only for use when you have already assumed 'number two' position in a clearing, with no innocent bystanders . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swainiac Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Wedge.................remind sof the joke of the bear and the rabbit squatting behing a tree in the dark dark woods...............the bear asks the rabbit, "Hey Thumper, do you find that number two's sticks to your fur?"........... "Actually", Thumper replies, "No us Rabbits don't suffer that problem", as he gloated to the squatting bear. The bear then proceeded to grab Thumps by the ears and wipe his nether regions with him.
