Arctic Field Ration, Travel Food / Expedition Food

Arctic Field Ration, travel food / expedition food selectable from 3 boxes with 8 menus each or one box with 24 menus

Freeze-dried rations for military, mountaineering, trekking or emergency storage purposes are usually associated with industrial food production, a lot of chemicals and the complete absence of flavor. But there is another way: Real Outdoor Foods from North Norway is a brand developed by a family enterprise. Drytech was founded by the Hansens from Tromsø and specializes in combining ancient Scandinavian traditions of drying seasonal foods with international fusion cuisine. The results are delicious classics like Creamy Salmon, Pulled Pork, Chicken Tikka Masala etc.

Using specially developed freeze-dry technologies, the Hansens turn their breakfast and main course recipes into dried meals that last for many years. By simply adding 70 – 100 hot water, you can make a tasty and nutritious meal with approx. 1200 – 1500 kcal in roughly 8 minutes – ideal for trekking trips or during emergencies. The dried rations can also be prepared with cold water, of course. Rehydration times will then increase to 40 – 50 minutes.

Our complete Arctic Field Ration 1-Day Menus contain in addition to the dried meals also a variety of snacks, like nuts or dried fruit, energy and protein bars, chewing gum and also powdered drinks, like coffee or hot chocolate. Our Arctic field rations come in boxes of 24 or 8 one-day rations. The big boxes include 24 different dried meals, the smaller offer a balanced choice of breakfast and main meals. (Please see the overview for details.)

Should you discover one absolute favorite among the dried meals or if you require vegetarian options only, you can order these individual meals separately with a minimum purchase quantity of six portions.

Please note that due to availability, individual dried meals or additional menu items like energy bars, drinks etc. can occasionally be replaced by equivalent alternatives.

And last but not least a cautious reminder regarding the expiration date: It is a well-known fact that freeze-dried food rations intended for military, emergency or catastrophe provisions can remain edible for years or even decades past the expiration date – if stored correctly. The freeze-dried Arctic Field Rations officially expire after 7 years for example. The entire, combined Daily ration menu, however, displays the date of the item with the shortest shelf-life, e.g. a protein bar with an expiration of 2 years approximately. This does not mean that you have to dispose of all the menu’s contents after this period. Please check individual labels and use common sense when disposing of items.

Please note: Cartons that have been opened can NOT be returned due to food safety regulations.
