It appears that I can only get it mail order. Alaska is the main consumer, based on pilot bread having a very good shelf life, but it is not as if noone else in the country might find themselves cut off for days due to natural disaster.
I don't want to buy a 2lb can of it from Amazon, and I don't want to pay shipping on a small box of Sailor Boy pilot bread. I would like to find someplace on the East coast to get it from. But it appears that the product goes directly from the factory to Alaska.
I'm surprised that they don't try to market it to the other 300+ million Americans. |
Doesn't hardtack supposedly taste like ass?
