Bacon for backpack hunt

[sasquatch]

I see people talk about taking pre cooked bacon on the trail with them. What brand or type are yall taking, and can it be eaten straight from the pack with no heating or anything involved? Also how long will it last?

It's bacon buy it cook it eat it. Mine usually doesn't last long because I eat it. I wouldn't worry about it spoiling in a week if cooked throughly

Precooked can last a week or so. You can eat it straight out of the pack or even heat it if you want to.

I thought Big Foot ate beef jerky??

Not a huge fan of jerky, but I LOVE bacon. Been cooking it up and carrying it as my jerky for decades. It will last longer than I know.......I eat it quickly. I always hope it will attract a good bear, but it never has. They probably prefer raw bacon.

We buy the Trader Joe's microwavable bacon. It tastes good and lasts a while. Bring a few tortillas, a couple of the peewee avocados, and some string cheese and you can make a pretty good wrap.

Here's a link to what the box looks like:

My guide packed Hormel precooked bacon last year in AK. I could not believe how good it was. I had never even heard of precooked bacon. Serious calories/energy.

It's not "pre-cooked" bacon.......it's just "cooked" bacon, just like you can prepare at home yourself for probably a lot cheaper.
