Seriously. You are all bacon obsessives.

For that would make it genius. Instead of opening up a can of whoop ass, I now shall open up a can of bacon.

And hot coffee you brewed yourself.

Given the bulk and presumed weight of the can (in addition to having to pack it out with you - you DO pack out your trash, right?) the pre-cooked bacon in plastic bags you currently find in the grocery stores seems a much better choice for backpacking, IMO.

Although I have t admit, 40 - 50 slices per can does make for a pretty tempting bacon-to-excess-weight ratio. OTOH, a 10 year shelf-life sounds a little scary.

Yeah, definitely add to the emergency survival rations, but maybe not so much for the backpacking larder.

And does the P-38 come included?

The one who tried the Indiana Jones Snickers bar? Can she try this for us? Unless she is a vegetarian or Jewish, in which case can we have a substitute Stranger taste tester?

Really old. Like on my first deployment as we began running critically low on chow and scoured the boat for anything that may have been stowed in some recess in a sealed can, we came across a rusted #10 can (old-school Folger's can) of the stuff dated 1972. It looked horrible, smelled worse, but for someone who hadn't been anywhere near bacon in two months it tasted divine.

Other than that, when real bacon is available avoid the canned shit.
