mattydski 560 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 I am pretty sure I have read somewhere that the Best Before date code on British Ration packs is very conservative... I have found a load of Rat packs in my garage that i have had for a few years..and I reckon they will be fine.... I have a few trips planned... What do you reckon???
