Future Essential Sailor Pilot Bread Crackers | Ship's Biscuit | Hardtack | Emergency Survival Food | 30 years shelf life | Ready to Eat #2.5 can size (Single Can),12 Serving per Can, Made in the USA

Hardy, long lasting nutrition, especially good for disaster preparedness. I haven't tasted them yet, and I hope that I never do.

I bought this as a joke for my buddy for when the end times come. They taste way better than I thought. Would recommend.

A little bland tasting and they need a little salt on them. But they are a large and sturdy cracker, Sturdy enough to spread peanut butter and such onto them without them falling apart (reasonably speaking). They were designed to provide you with the calories required to get you through an emergency.

This large-sized cracker mirrored its smaller brothers that were issued in the U.S. WWII, Korea, and Vietnam-era military C-rations. I can replicate the canned items, as most are available in grocery stores, but this type of cracker is not sold in grocery stores. Nice to see them again.

20 bucks for 12 pilot bread is not worth it. I'll special order sailor boy from local store for less money and buy a case.

Met my needs

I purchased a single can of "Future Essentials Pilot Bread" to inspect the quality of the product. And to most importantly taste test it before making a decision to purchase more to add to my long term food storage. It is what I would call a modern day "Hardtack" Minus the salt.The crackers fit in the palm of your hand and are definetly more thick than your average cracker.I didn't eat anything for roughly twenty hours before taste testing and went to the gym twice, each for one hour. In a survival situation you wont be picky and even tho fasting for twenty hours doesn't put you into any kind of survival situation. It will make you eat and enjoy things you typically wouldn't.First impression after taking a bite was that these were super plain. Ive never had a cracker this plain. (I always eat Rits and Saltines that have oils on them but this causes them to spoil much more rapidly unlike the Pilot Bread) I continued to snack on them throughout my shift. Even offering afew to some coworkers to get an opinion. They too agreed, very plain but not a bad taste at all.The crackers are flakly on the inside (Like a Saltine) which I did like. About half way through the can or six crackers later I actually started to enjoy them. It was something different than I was used to. Perhaps this feeling was brought on while I was reading a post apocolyptic novel.All in all you can make these same crackers for far less. Just google hardtack. But if you have the money and want a bomb proof way to store than this is the way to go. It would suck opening your home made hardtack years later to notice it had spoiled or something had gone wrong.As for my decision if I will buy more in bulk? Still pending. I will attempt to make my own hardtack and continue to do research. As I want to get the most bang for my buck.

This is a great idea to order several cans for snacks in a emergency situation.
