One-Day Ration Packs
A ration pack can be a very convenient way to source all the food you need for one day's outdoor activity. They are popular with DofE groups, adventure holiday providers and expeditions, as well as backpackers, kayakers, sail racers and more!
We've put together what we believe are the best one-day ration packs on the market. Our focus is on using high-quality ingredients that you will look forward to eating. All the packs include a hot breakfast, great lunch and snack foods, a hot dinner (main course and dessert), plus a hot drinks pack. The meals are all freeze-dried, so the packs are light in weight.
Standard Ration Packs each provide at least 2800kcal and contain all the food one person will need for one day's normal outdoor activity, such as walking and kayaking.
