Reddit reviews Hormel® Black Label Fully Cooked Bacon - 9.5oz 72 ct

I hike about 300 miles a season.

My standard dinner since going keto: freeze dried eggs, some fully cooked shelf stable bacon, some hard cheese, and some low carb tortillas or wraps (even though they tend to be heavy). Throw in some olive oil or mayo and you have a ton of calories for not a lot of weight. Breakfast and lunch are usually just coffee with some coconut oil, low carb bars, a moderate amount of almonds, summer sausage, or cheese sticks.

Freeze dried meats are good as well, but they can be expensive. The foil packs of chicken and tuna will work, but they don't have a great calorie-to-weight ratio.

I would be careful going overboard with the nuts. Overdoing it on nuts can give you the trots, and that's no fun while hiking.

Keeping your pack light is what's going to be the issue. Here's a few items that I've starting hiking / camping with since kicking off keto:

1. Precooked bacon - The link points to one as an example. Try to find a package that contains several smaller individual packages because once the plastic is opened you'll want to eat it that day. It's not as good as fresh out of the skillet at home, but 15 miles of trail tends to be a pretty good seasoning for me.
   
   
2. Eggs - Eggs aren't likely to go bad in 3-4 days, even at 30+ degrees. I wouldn't leave them in the sun or anything, but I keeping them covered while at camp and in the center of your pack while moving and you should be fine. If you're really nervous you can look into ways to recreate an artificial "bloom" to protect the egg from bacteria and/or make a sleeve out of Reflectix for your RIGID egg container.
   
   
3. Precooked Chicken - It's not certainly not fresh-off-the-grill chicken, but it's 50 grams of protein. I usually either add this to boiling water with veggies (mushrooms, carrots, onions, and garlic) or throw it on top of anything green and leafy that I bring with me.
   
   
4. Cheese - Other folks have said it as well but cheese is freaking awesome. Get something hard that will last longer like a Jack or Cheddar. There is a ton of protein and fat in cheese and it can be eaten alone or added to everything else you're bringing. It's a force multiplier.
   
   
5. Olive Oil - I usually bring a silicone bottle of Olive oil with me. This is like the cheese in that you can add it to almost everything and you're getting about 15 grams of fat (120 calories) per tablespoon. Use this to saute your veggies, or as a salad dressing on some greens.
   
   
6. Fresh Veggies - Heavy compared to rice / pasta dishes but way more versatile. You can make a soup, or saute them and make a messy camp omelet. Hell just chop them up, use some olive oil, and put them in a foil packet for the fire. Easy and delicious.
   
   
7. Protein Powder / Heavy Whipping Cream - Something that I've been doing is using protein powder and a thermos of Heavy Whipping Cream to supplement any food I bring. Both are fairly calorie dense. Even if you don't want to do the protein powder, just making a cup of coffee / tea with a 1/8 - 1/4 cup of HWC can give you a ton of calories to start your day with. Using Keto Chow and a reliable water source I can survive fairly well on less than 400 grams of 'food' a day.

Hello /u/Frank_Sincatra,

I've noticed that you appear to be interested in purchasing epic bacon from Amazon using an Amazon® Dash® Button. While no such Amazon® Dash® Button is being offered at this time, you do have the option to order a convenient Amazon® Gift Card Dash® Button. You can use it to ensure that you never run out of Amazon funds to purchase your favorite epic bacon such as Hormel® Black Label Fully Cooked Bacon - 9.5oz 72 ct. It's also very handy in keeping a healthy stock of Amazon® gift cards to give out as thoughtful gifts for birthdays or other human celebrations.

Happy shopping!

I am not sure on its availability in the UK however maybe something like this will work for you. It is shelf stable until you open it.

There totally is pre-cooked bacon at the grocery store.

Check it out my friendhttp://www.amazon.com/Hormel%C2%AE-Black-Label-Fully-Cooked/dp/B00F54QG1S

Guilty pleasure snack growing up was a couple of these just cold out of the fridge.

I wanted to add some more great finds thanks to a list I saw by /u/vtsumc1993:

16) Hormel Cooked Bacon - $22 for (72) pieces
Less than $4/pack for the equivalency of 6 packs of cooked bacon is really quite good - great find!

17) V8 juice - get your veggies! $26 for (48) cans
Get your veggies for just over 50c/can!

18) ~~Tropicana Orange Juice - $30 for 24 bottles
Not too bad, around $1.25/bottle is less than you'd pay in a cooling case by a check-out register.~~Deal is gone, now charging shipping (though price has been reduced). No longer on Prime.

19) Wheat Thins - $13 for (6) boxes
Around a couple bucks for each box is a really good deal - in my stores they're $2.50 and up.

---

And also a special shout-out to /u/fwogzilla for making me aware of this amazing deal on hash browns!

20) Golden Grill Hashbrowns - $14 for 48 servings
Also:
Golden Grill Hashbrowns - $14 for 50 servings
These get rave reviews from Redditors, so they are definitely worth a look!

I got you, mate.

http://www.amazon.com/Hormel%C2%AE-Black-Label-Fully-Cooked/dp/B00F54QG1S/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1458612981&sr=8-1&keywords=cooked+bacon

This goes through the mail quite well. If he gets that in the mail, he will be the king of his shop for a few days.

The Qataris working in customs are really lazy, or they don't give a shit. It's a cultural thing. As long as there are no red flags on the customs form, they're not going to go digging. I've had tobacco sent through the mail to me at the Deid with no problems. Not on the customs form? Then it's not there. Just put something like "beef jerky" instead of "bacon," and it'll be fine.

btw, send him a few logs of dip. Again, don't claim it on the customs form. Even if he doesn't use it, he can trade that for just about anything he could imagine. I've seen two logs of Copenhagen get traded for a tv.
