bacpacjac,
Slab bacon can be kept for several days without refridgeration, just wrap in a cloth moistened in vinegar. Canned bacon is good, but both have been replace by precooked bacon. Available in the grocery store. I like the Hormel, but most of the major brands are good. Each has a somewhat different taste, just like their uncooked stuff. I use the 1 lb equivilent for medium groups (it needs to be used in a couple of days after opening) and the big size for a crowd (72 pcs of bacon!!) or very big eaters. I also keep one in the fridge at work. Most of the time I use the smaller packages of bits or pieces for one or two. Just enough for one or two meals (I do like bacon and use a lot). I also carry some for snacking and keep it in my ruck. The only things missing are the smell of it cooking and the bacon grease for cooking. But you don't need a cast iron skillet.
I still carry fresh eggs for the first couple of days though, have not found a powdered or precooked that I like as well.
Respectfully,
Jerry
p.s. You just convinced me to make some right now! ((-:
Thanks Jerry. I think I'm going to try that. Also, I'm on the hunt for Ovaeasy powdered eggs. I hear they're much better than standard powdered eggs, using a different process of some sort. They had them at our local Sail store, for about a day, and then they sold out.
