## Description

American Heritage:Sailor Boy Pilot Bread is proudly baked in the USA for a century. A modern version of hardtack, the long-shelf life cracker has been nourishing and delighting hunters, hikers, soldiers, adventurers, and travelers alike with a delicious, sturdy, snack cracker.Long-lasting and Wholesome:Pilot bread is a kind of biscuit, or cracker, with simple wholesome ingredients and very little moisture. It has been described as a saltine cracker without the salt, or a flat dry biscuit. It is crunchy and mild, but nowhere near flavorless. Stored in a cool, dry place, it has an extraordinarily long shelf life, could be decades, or longer! Its resistance to spoilage and versatile use makes it a favorite for household emergency kits, preppers’ survival supply cache, disaster-relief food supply, earthquake preparedness kits, and the like.Ways to Enjoy:Sailor Boy Pilot Bread - for some, it's soul food: Mothers give it to their babies to teeth on or as baby food, back-country hikers stock it in their kit, and seldom does a hunting party venture out in the woods without a supply stashed away in someone's backpack. Consider some of these topping ideas: peanut butter and jelly, smoked salmon or salmon spread, cream cheese, Nutella with bananas and strawberries, or simply toasted with butter. For a new take on a tuna melt or mini pizza. Each delicious, versatile biscuit sustains and delights.

Review: Excellent Pilot Bread Cracker - Have had the Mountain House, Future Essentials, Saratoga Farms, and the USGI MRE crackers. They're all good, and I like 'em all just fine, but the Sailor Boy Brand are IMO the best. They're considerably larger than the other brands, and they're a crisp, solid, substantial example of the baker's art. They're pleasantly neutral flavored - very much like an unsalted saltine, if you will - and not at all slightly sweet like Mountain House or Saratoga Farms. The upside is that at their regular price, a 2 lb. package is less than half the regular price of a 2 lb. #10 vacuum-sealed can. Downside, of course is that they likely don't have anywhere near the 25 year shelf life of the canned varieties. They'll likely store a whole lot longer than ordinary grocery store saltines (and I've got some saltines that are 5+ years old and are still palatable); just rotate 'em out a little sooner. These are good - highly recommend.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with weavilz?**
A: Been eating these for over 40 years and no weevils. 
Think I should complain? Have I not been getting what I paid for?

**Q: what is shelf life?**
A: Not sure, but what I do know is they aren't packaged well for longevity. Put them in a mylar bag with oxygen absorbers and seal the bag and you can easily double shelf life.

**Q: Are they sweet?**
A: Sailor Boy Pilot Bread Crackers are not sweet.
Neither are they salty. 
They are best described as mild.

**Q: Is this standard flour/water/salt hardtack?**
A: No. It has palm oil and other additives. It probably will not have nearly the shelf life of traditional hardtack. I researched this a bit and my best guess, based on my reading, is that it probably has a shelf life of a few years, no more than ten years. There is some disagreement of long oils like palm oil or those in whole grains will remain stable. White flour, white sugar, salt and water hardtack lasts almost indefinitely. When oils and other ingredients are added the result is much less stable. It think a list of the ingredients is available either in the description or by enlarging some of the photos.

Great cracker with a long storage life.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delicious, versatile crackers! Arrived in good shape
*by L***A on October 8, 2019*

Loved these pilot crackers! They arrived in good shape, barely broken. Came packed in a cardboard box packed with large bubble wrapping. I used to love the Diamond Bakery Saloon Pilot crackers from Hawaii, but they are way too expensive for how much you get. This order of Sailor Boy crackers will last me a long time. I'm planning on vacuum sealing some to keep fresh. I will buy again. One thing I noticed was there is no expiration date on the box. I never buy expired food so I didnt like not seeing a date. It's only crackers so it cant hurt me to eat if expired, just might get stale fast. Other than that I love these crackers. I know my grandchildren will love them too!
