Name Ration Pack
Type Food Supplies
WT. 17 kg
Unit of Issue Ea.
Additional Comments This is simply a backpack of dehydrated food, canned juices and vitamins sufficient for 4 people for 15 days. The pack also contains materials for heating, a folding pot, and water purification tablets.

I did some math, a US Army 1960's / 1970's LRRP ration weighs in at 310 grams per meal. 310 X 3 X 4 X 15 / 1000 = 55.8 kg. Looks like that piece of equipment is broken

Ok, its not haute cuisine but I'm sure the team would be damn happy to have it instead of raw rat and radioactive water

I've eaten plenty of military rations over the years, longest unbroken stretch would be about 10 days. Not so great but considering the alternatives in a post- nuclear war world ..........

Kinda gives them motivation to get the locals farming and ranching ASAP.
