Letter Re: Yoder's Canned Bacon and Canned Meats?
Mr. Rawles;
Thanks for the time and effort you put into SurvivalBlog.com. It is a truly
valuable and unique resource.
Working on my lists of supplies and equipment, I’m wondering about Yoder’s
canned bacon and other canned meats, beef, chicken, turkey, pork, sausage,
etc. They advertise [an up to] 10 year shelf life (depending on storage conditions
of course) and the price isn’t unreasonable. Too heavy for much mobility
but for home base they appear to me to be an attractive way to store some meat
products without refrigeration. Any info or thoughts on this? Thanks, - Gatekeeper
JWR Replies: The Yoder's canned cooked bacon product is a
new offering, but it is actually an old concept. Given the time and energy
required
to cook
and can it, the price per can is fairly reasonable. OBTW, canned bacon, butter,
and cheese are
also
sold
by a number of Internet vendors, including several of our advertisers: Safecastle, Best
Prices Storable Foods, and Ready
Made
Resources. These canned foods
make good supplements to round out a diet and break up the monotony of eating
bland
storage
foods such as wheat, rice, and beans.
