I save bacon fat from frying bacon, but as mentioned I grew up with the culinary customs of the American South. Lard (pig fat) lacks many of the desirable flavors of bacon fat. Fortunately, like every other yummy thing, one can buy bacon fat on Amazon. I have never tried this fat and am really pretty particular about my bacon, but it is at least a start in the right direction.

I usually cook my bacon on sheet trays at 350F; you can go higher or lower, depending on your timing and rhythm. Drain the fat into a suitable container (Mason jar here, of course) and stash it in the fridge. When I was a kid, we just kept the bacon fat by the stove in a metal canister, but our common culture has moved past the heavy physical labor that warranted lots of fatty food to supply necessary calories. Therefore we use much less bacon and bacon fat for a healthy diet. Refrigeration is a good idea for less frequent use, though I admit that around Christmas when all the old family recipes come out for a spin, I leave the fat on the counter for easy dipping.

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!

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!

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.

Haha - we find a way to make even bacon a little lamer here. This is pretty much what people think about when they think bacon in the US: https://www.amazon.com/Tyson-59809-Hickory-Smoked-Bacon/dp/B004Q3N1LW I think it's laid out that that to make it look like there's more meat than there actually is.

It's improved a bit in the last 10 years or so, and now we can get thicker, better quality strips in a regular supermarket.

Lol man it makes me laugh every time I get on reddit and check my messages. Without fail I always have a message from you waiting and it really makes my day. It must feel pretty valiant to defend a company who doesn't give a shit if you're there or not. I'm glad you're making a difference in the walmart world. They don't appreciate you and never will, but good for you. How you can get so butt hurt over a company that thinks you're disposable is beyond me, but if walmart was ran by people who fought the way you did, maybe they'd be around another 70 years. But as we both know digital is the new marketplace, and walmart probably won't be around by the time we're dead...because the company didn't realize that internet shopping was going to be a big deal. Now excuse me while I go cook this bomb bacon that I bought off amazon, it's pretty legit. here's you a link if you want http://www.amazon.com/Half-Slab-Bacon-5-5-6-5--rind/dp/B0000CDASJ/ref=sr_1_15_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1458461470&sr=8-15&keywords=bacon

Most deli's have the whole pieces available for slices. I just ask them to lob a big hunk off and not slice it for me. It's also on Amazon. If you can get pork belly, it's also really easy to cure if you wanted to try to make your own. It would take 7-10 days. I've used this recipe with great results.

I'm really interested in the shelf-stable bacon idea...anyone know of a decent product? I found this on Amazon

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.

Your bacon is called "back bacon" here, and you can get it from most reputable meat vendors & deli sections in local grocery stores...or even from Amazon.com. You're out of luck as far as most restaurants go though.

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.

10 minutes?

Black pudding

Bacon rashers - Just get from any butcher. Its just a different cut. Or get here. Or Amazon

British style pork sausages - Again, easy to get from a butcher (basically same as Irish pork sausages). Or Amazon.

That took me 3 minutes.

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.

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.

1. I'm sick and tired of my internet connection. It drops out 20 -30 times a day.. do you know what it is like to play games like League and Guild wars when you are Dced randomly all day every day? There are times of the day I can't even play it gets so bad!!! what's worse.. I can;t get my fucking brother-in-law to call the cable company to fix it because it's in his name and he's to damned lazy to do a damned thing!!!!
