Looking for a way to use up surplus flour, or make a cheap trail food or durable survival ration? One answer may be hardtack, a baked, unleavened wheat cracker. As a survival food, hardtack has a proven track record.
Hardtack is one of the original trail and emergency foods, and it is worth considering if you are a prepper or are interested in wilderness or urban survival.
The advantage is that hardtack is easy to make, transports easily and will last a reasonably long time if stored in appropriate containers. The disadvantage is the bland taste, and traditional toughness.
Check out the recipes - hardtack might be a good choice for your next campout or to include in your survival gear!
One element of survival is nutrition. There are instances when food is fuel, and the only concern is ingesting more calories than you burn up. (That even sounds unappetizing!) But there are ways to prepare basic, staple TASTY foods using off-the-grid methods: i.e. over a campfire, in a Dutch oven or by using aluminum foil wraps. Learn how to cook over a single heat source, using simple, tried-and-tested cooking methods!

One answer may be hardtack, a baked, unleavened wheat cracker.
As a survival ration, hardtack has a proven track record. But hardtack is traditionally - and notoriously - bland, boring, and tough to eat.
I was sent this recipe, and made up a batch just before an elk hunt. It's great! Sample some, and you may have just come up with a new favorite trail food!
