PB, Bacon and Honey Sandwich Question

[gethuntin]

You guys that make them in the field is it best to buy precooked bacon and eat it as is out of the pack or do fry it up and pack it along in a Ziploc?

BTW, you don't have to use a bagel, i.e. - make a butthole sandwich, to make a peanut butter, bacon, and honey/syrup sandwich. You can use sandwich thins, any hearty bread, tortillas, english muffins, or anything that won't flatten out like regular sandwich bread will. They only picked up the butthole monicker because of the hole in the bagel.

Yep I've been using whole wheat sandwich thins and really liking them!

Me too, and maple syrup rather than honey.

Here is a look at my sandwich in CO last week... Peanut Butter, honey, and bacon on an english muffin, assembled in the field. PB&honey in a squeeze tube, bacon in a vacuum sealed package, and english muffin in a ziploc bag. (1 tube good for ~4 sandwiches)

Here is my buddy's peanut butter and bacon sandwich on bagel thin that he made ahead of time and vacuum sealed and froze...

Those squeeze tubes are going to be a go to thanks for the post !!

Toast them in the field! They are delicious!!!

Everyone has failed to mention that you better have some water to drink after you eat one.
Dries your mouth out and you wont be entering any whistling contests either

But they are good.

Most of you guys say toast them but has anyone tried frying the bread face down in the bacon grease to bump the calories a bit more?

 

[Daniel_M]

You can never go wrong with extra bacon grease. Butthole Sammiches rock.

Creamed honey works awesome for these as well. It has the consistancy of peanut butter so doesn't tend to get your bread as soggy as regulary honey. I might just vacuum seal my bagel thins and bacon and take a Justin's PB packet and a packet of Honey Stinger Gold and finish making it in the field. Sometimes my pre-made ones can get a little messy once I vacuum seal.

I typically make PB sandwiches while in the field. Pack the PB in a Ziplok snack bag. Enough PB for each day. Just bite the corner off the bag and squeeze out the PB, works great! After reading this topic, I am going full blown buttholes next time out, they sound great!

 

[William Hanson (live2hunt)]

They are pretty good especially if you warm them over a fire but even if you don't they are plenty good cold.

 

[Manosteel]

Yup they are good cold but if you have the chance to do a little toasting in the field then do it. I pre-make mine, vac-seal them and throw in freezer until hunt. take two out a day before to help day froast for first two days and rest are good by the time I get to them. I think I will try the English muffins next time out. The bagels get a little chewy if you cant toast, 4 days in

 

[Ace of Spades]

Pretty much everyone says to freeze them after they're made, are you keeping them frozen as long as you can and then packing them in with you or are some of you hunting from a base camp? I hunt from a spike camp and wonder how that scenario would affect their lifespan.

55 posts on how to make the perfect butthole sandwich - just two comments about that...

1 - Gotta love this site! Where else can you get so many experienced people sharing their perspective on such a great topics.
2 - Can't wait to try out some new variations!

OK, on page four... But I'm wondering how long bacon lasts when it's hot? What bacon works best?

So how's the bacon work during September in the heat for extended hunts? Doesn't most cooked bacon need to be refrigerated?

I make mine up and vac seal toss in freezer and take out what I need the day I leave to hunt have done up to 7 days in August/September with no side effects

 

[Takeem406]

Perfect, just sounds like food poisening waiting to happen. But can't you get cured bacon that doesn't need to be refrigerated? Didn't the cowboys do this?
