Soft Power? Never heard of her.
How naive, you think developing shelf stable, ready to eat food for displaced and distressed people, foreign and domestic, would be a clever way to assert and grow global influence?
Well, apparently Uncle Sam thought so. Introducing two variations of government emergency rations designed to keep people fed when everything else has gone to 💩.
Humanitarian Daily Rations (HDR) were developed to provide emergency food assistance to displaced populations around the world. Each ration contains at least 2,200 calories, with ingredients selected to accommodate a wide range of cultural and religious dietary restrictions. That means no meat or alcohol, but plenty of entrées, snacks, and other essentials to get you through the day.
Survivor Daily Rations (SDR) take a similar concept and bring it stateside. Developed by the Defense Logistics Agency for FEMA disaster response, these rations are intended to feed survivors of hurricanes, floods, and other domestic emergencies. Unlike HDRs, this nonvegetarian variation includes meat based entrées, with menu options such as chicken chili, spaghetti, and other hearty dishes.
Both variations contain individually packaged daily rations designed to provide a full day's worth of food for one person. No refrigeration or cooking is required, making them excellent options for emergency preparedness, camping, and situations where access to food is limited.

- Minimum 2,200 calories per daily ration

Please note: Menu contents and individual food items may vary depending on production date and manufacturer.
Ration meals are good for 3 to 10 year shelf life from inspection date. (NOT PACK DATE) This depends on how the meals are stored long term (temperature, humidity, element exposure, etc) (If the box does not state inspection date reach out, and we can let you know from which batch when they were inspected last by the FDA) (Most boxes will have a separate inspection date stamp separate from the pack date)
MAXIMUM OF TWO CASES PER ORDER!
LIMIT OF TWO CASES TOTAL PER ORDER, REGARDLESS OF VARIATION. If you order more than two cases, expect to be invoiced for additional shipping or have the excess quantity refunded. This is due to the cost of shipping.

Curious About Sizing?
Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.
Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.
Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.
Jacket & Shirt Sizing
In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.
To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit.
This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:
14"-15" PtP = XXS
16-17" PtP = Extra Small
18"-19" PtP = Small
20-21" PtP = Medium
22-23" PtP = Large
24-25" PtP = Extra Large
26-27" PtP = XXL
28-29" PtP = 3XL
Pant Sizing
We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.
To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.
To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
