LRRP Ration Ranger VIETNAM ERA US MILITARY LONG RANGE PATROL FOOD PACKET LRP SF

Description

This is an original
Long Range Patrol Ration
for use by US Army Rangers LRRP's (pronounced LURPs) and Special Forces during and after the Vietnam War. This menu is Escalloped Potatoes with Pork. This is an old ration, so I advise against eating it.
There were eight LRRP ration menus: Beef Stew, Chicken Stew, Beef w/rice, Chicken and rice, Spaghetti w/meat sauce, Chili Con Carne, Beef Hash and Pork w/escalloped potatoes.  If you have a certain one in mind, let me know and I will look to make sure to confirm before you purchase.
The contents include a freeze dried dehydrated main meal, toilet paper, coffee, sugar and creamer, hot chocolate mix, spoon and a dehydrated cereal bar. Sold as a souvenir only (INEDIBLE)
LRRP's (Long Range Recon Patrols) in Vietnam went to the field for many days, so weight was a big factor. This ration was designed to be light weight and provide enough food for one day in the field. It was reconstituted with water (cold or hot) and was a very filling meal. On a seven day patrol, each solder would carry 7-8 of these rations.  There were eight different menus and some were really tasty, especially with hot sauce.
If you want it, Buy it now! I have other menus available. Let me know if you need one other than the type listed.

AIRBORNE!
With the recent huge increase in U.S. postal rates and requirement for delivery confirmation tracking, we have had to increase the shipping costs for both domestic and overseas mailings.
Additionally the cost of International mail has more than doubled so we may soon have to cease mailing items outside the U.S.
Thank you for understanding.
