Ration Pack Details

outdoor adventure team AUSTRALIA

The Outdoor Adventure Team has been making Compact Ration Packs (CRPs) for our own outdoor programs for many years. Based on military style combat rations, the CRPs contain three meals--equivalent to a breakfast lunch and dinner--and a selection of supplementary food and outdoor items (see below for a complete list).

The packs weigh 1.1kg, have dimensions of about 18cm x 22 cm x 9cm and are available in four different menu varieties. Vegetarian CRPs are also available if required.

To make the packs unique, we have entered into agreements with a number of wholesale food companies to supply specialised items not normally available through retail outlets. Meals selected are light, appealing to taste, nutritionally healthy and balanced, require minimal preparation and compliment the outdoor lifestyle.
