On the lookout for an edible and long-lasting food that you can take just about anywhere, look no further than hardtack or pilot bread.

Hardtack is not really like a bread, it's more of a cracker that's a little bit harder than your typical saltine. It's a good food to have on hand when you're out in the wilderness or remote area.

Pilot bread is essentially the packaged version of hardtack. Mountain House and Sailor Boy are just two brands that make the shelf-staple.

If you'd rather take the do-it-yourself route and make it yourself, we got a recipe you will want to try.
