Bacon...it's the only reason I honestly couldn't ever become Jewish or Vegetarian. And 9 out of 10 Vegetarians agree that it's the only meat they would ever consider going back to eat.

When SHTF you need Bacon...lots of Bacon. Because let's face it, hunting Wild Boar or Wild Pigs is far more dangerous than hunting Deer or Elk.

So, it intrigued me when I came across an article about Tactical Bacon that lasts 10 years.
Tactical Canned Bacon

Has anyone actually tried this stuff? Has anyone actually let it sit around on a shelf for 10 years before trying it?

I'm curious but I'm not sure if I want to run the risk of Botulism to try it unless it were a SHTF situation and I really had a craving for a BLT.

At $16 for 54 slices, that's not a bad price, but I'd rather know what others thought of it before ponying up and adding it to my stash of other sundry canned goods, rice, dried beans, and Ensure.

I think they may have gotten this and changed the label:

I've tried the precooked bacon in stores and although it's not particularly good it is at least edible. Knowing that this stuff is "a little better" than that and it does indeed store well if unopened is precisely the reassurance I needed.

Thank you.

So if it tastes horrid you could always use it to make a smoke screen.


Yeah, when I first read the brand name "Tactical Bacon" I was thinking of something along similar lines...although I never knew you could make a Bacon Smoke Bomb! That's good info to have!

I buy this (the Yodder brand) by the case lot. We pay less per slice for canned bacon than we do for uncooked stuff at our local grocery store. It way better tasting than the Burns brand or the other more expensive brands our store carries.

My mother in law who isn't into the survival has be order it for her too because she likes it so much.

Pemmican! My boyfriend loves that stuff. It's alright, I once had a history teacher who made it from deer and threw in sunflower seeds and cranberries. It was delicious.
