Greenies would buy it.... Organic?

Not just greenies Bob. I'll have you hooked by the end of the summer.

It seems the Hardtack is receiving some mixed reviews.

I think you need to spice things up a bit if there is to be a @scatman and @Rockskipper culinary enterprise in the future.

Perhaps you can expand your offerings and prepare some sort of salted meat or pickling brine to compliment this weekend's lunch hike.

What is old is new again, right?

I can see the listing on REI now -- right next to the Mountain House and Peak Refuel will be SkipperScat's Olde World Expedition Provisions. All the tastes of yesteryear with none of the expiration dates of today.

Let the Five Star reviews begin!

Still think circus peanut bits in it to enhance... Maybe some mms

I think eventually we'll just turn this "hardtack" into cookies...

But that's probably for the best.

Chocolate chips would definitely enhance the product … chocolate makes just about everything palatable.

do pemmican next, Scat!

No mixed reviews yet. One has to try it before reviewing it you see.

You could provide signature meals to our effort, like Chad Mendes for PEAK Refuel! I love it when a plan comes together.

MMs go good with anything. I'm not sure what circus peanuts would do when soaked.

I'll cut them into circles next time, and voila - cookies. You're going to love the tack @TheMountainRabbit.

Chocolate chips do make everything better, but you're assuming that the hardtack is unpalatable.

Great idea! I'll pencil you in for business partnership on this one.

They turn into elephants, of course. Just like those little dinosaur sponges, you can buy at the museum. You put water into it and it turns into a dinosaur. Presto easy.

No Doubt!
We can even use the same artwork -- just photoshop my head over Chad's.

I like the idea of creating our own beverages too. Could we market a "Bison Brew" or maybe "Grizzlyade"?
I'm thinking "Yellowstone Thermal Water" might not have mass appeal.

I enjoyed your trip report by the way. I think I was too side-tracked by your buccellum biscuits to mention it earlier.

I always suspected this thank you for confirming.

I suppose those would be better than “Scatwater” ….

 

[The Trout Whisperer]

I did not see a disclaimer that stated no teeth were harmed in this hike/ baking adventure…

Are these life size elephants?

 

[Rockskipper]

Are these life size elephants?

Same scale as the peanut, so I think so, though I've never confirmed this by soaking one.

And I've had that dumb song "Found a Peanut" going through my mind for the past day or so. One of the worst earworms one could have.

I'm thinking more along the line of a Sour Creek Porter, or perhaps a Bog Creek Stout. We're going to need a crew to head in and get some water for the brewing process. Do you have anybody in mind?

Not much to change between you and Chad, your looks and physiques are quite similar.

I spit up the orange juice that I was drinking this morning when I read this comment regehr! If there was a BCP Hall of Fame, this response would have to be in it. Absolutely hilarious. Thanks for making my day.
