Ken, do you mean the USA issue rations? If so, regrettably no.They may turn up at the odd gunshow, usually near expiration. There is a site link for excellent european issue rations and MAINSTAY is a good product.

Kenn:<br>try "lifeboat" style rations from any good chandlers or shipping outfitters. A few phonecalls in any major port city in the world should track down your local "Seven Oceans" or "Mainstay" foil-packed 2400cal/3600cal equivalent.

In my experience, the vast majority of military survival kits do not contain rations or water.

I don't think they're military, but I've been eating SOS Labs (?) survival rations all day. Gonna see if I can eat the stuff straight for another day before I stock up some more. Canned food is just too bulky and since I move a lot, it's a pain logistically. If I have to go 30 days on my supply, I'm sure I won't be complaining so long as I have something to eat.
