On the march or in an over-night camp, hardtack was the original MRE.

While having to eat it repeatedly for weeks must have been tough, in a survival situation, this easy to store and transport super food could mean the difference between getting the nutrients and energy you need and not.

Facing a survival situation or SHTF moment more than likely means having to eat quickly and even on the run.

Hardtack is one timeless food option that has sustained sailors, explorers, soldiers – even prisoners literally for centuries – and it is so easy to make, just about anyone can do it with ease!

You must consider having a batch of hardtack as part of your emergency food survival cache!
