Had two headnets for skeeters. My sourdough homesteader bush neighbor said: "They are not that bad" Three hours later: Did you bring that extra headnet?

Ahhh, Pilot Bread!!! Never could fully figure that stuff out... seemed that it was only good for breaking up in soup or something. Not even salted either!
I ate some strange stuff up in the arctic back in the day. Local pizzas were $25-30, milk was $5-6/gallon, and AC produce was priced like gold... very expensive for the early 80's for an 18yo trying to save a little "college $". I do remember baking up some arctic char that I had bought cheap from the fishermen, making a sandwich spread with some cheese, pickles, and mayonnaise and putting that on Pilot Bread. It was pretty good but would have been better with "good" bread and toasted!
Basically, when Pilot Bread and the like started to look good, I knew it was time to go back to the lower 48 for awhile! Same goes for the occasional piece of muktuk (to be sociable) or the aroma of seal oil. 6-9 months later, I was ready for another go-a-round!
I envision Pilot Bread really best suited for long boat trips on the open ocean, Spam, sardines, smoked oysters, soup and the like, maybe a few limes to prevent the scurvy! Lower 48... maybe something like the previously mentioned items on a deer hunt or maybe Sage grouse stew! I will take Saltines or Ritz crackers though, myself!

Kinda like pilot bread ourselves. One goes a long way. Its much harder with dentures though now. But I'll still run with it if its available while out in the bush.

Dentures with Pilot Bread sounds about like attacking tundra tussocks (woke) with rubber knee high pasture boots... rough!
Like I said, a little salt baked into the Pilot Bread would have gone a long ways but I can see that being counter productive on a long marine excursion where fresh water was at a premium. As to the bush and/or arctic, I'll take some caribou jerky, dried or smoked salmon, and maybe some dried blueberries or salmon berries. I'd even consider some boiled gull eggs and some of the other delicacies from up in that country.
I've just never sought out the stuff down south even though I do believe that it is sold in other parts of the Country.

I like pilot bread. Especially with some jam or jelly. I like it broke up in my caribou stew.

Yeah mart, but that aint saying much... you kind of like those old 7mm Hornady RN bullets that no one else likes, too!
BTW, have you shot any of those yet?

I shot a few. They shot really well in the 7x57 I had, a lefty Zastavas. Then some fella went and bought it from me when I wanted to fund another project. I regret selling it.

What foods are high priced, and what is relativity cheap. I found bacon on sale for $9.99/lb last week. Tyvek is the official state siding. Not out here in this rain-soaked and wind-blown schitthole. Tyvek will give you mold and mildew issues within a year and will rot a building down to the ground in 10. We use old-school felt building paper. Sailor Boy pilot bread is the cat’s meow Sailor Boy crackers are THE schitt.

the "indigenous" hype needs to stop, who gives a flying, floating, swimming, running or crawling fyouseak
and that goes to the lesser 48 state buffalo humpers as well ... along with that Communist Ckuntry next to Alaska, effn Canadia
