Hardtack has been around in one form or another as far back as when the Egyptian pyramids were being constructed. They've been a staple food to prevent starvation for voyagers through the ages, as they lasted for years when prepared properly and could be paired with any other food to stretch rations.
Christopher Columbus had them on hand when he and his crew landed in the Carribean. They were consumed daily and loathed by soldiers on both sides of the Civil War.
They were a staple for the settlers pushing west across the continent at times when food was scarce, and survival was questioned.
For thousands of years this simple food has been keeping people alive so that they could do great things, and on the next page, you can learn the recipe and stock up some of this food for yourself.

i wonder if seasoned salt would be ok…seems seasoned salt would at least add more flavor to this. any ideas?
As long as non of the spices had any oils it would probably be ok. You’d think any oil would go rancid eventually
Seems like this us a cracker. Might try it with a GF flour. Maybe tapioca flour, would be like a cake cracker tgen
