The Ozzie fred's have the spoon on them. The US P38's don't and are the stubby one's. Looks like the seller does a lot of surplus gear.

Wow Mudnut! I used to dream of the luxury of having a FRED in our ratpacks! For years, the NZ army only had those pathetic P-38's! Like most others, I have several at home. Bloody useful little things. Isn't it strange that I still occasionally miss ratpacks? The best ones were the ones we had in Singapore back in the 80's. The 1 man/7 day ones! Even had Wrigley's gum!

The little blade on FRED was great at opening sachets!

I knew mentioning FRED would evoke some old memories.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Just saw this, I'm sure I have a couple of FREDs from over 40 years ago stored away somewhere. Those ration packs were issued to cadets in the 1960's, I kept an unopened one for years.

How long did you let it ferment? And was it edible when you finally got around to eating it?
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
It was never really edible, I never opened it but from memory threw it out many years ago during a house move.

Ha ha! Your absolutely right there, mate.Originally Posted by Apollofish
Some good news. After a thorough search, I have found FRED's much younger cousin FRED, but he was only manufactured in 1991.
