Streaky bacon is the only bacon. Loin cut so called "bacon" is not bacon. Too little fat. To be called proper bacon there have to about 50/50 meat and fat or even more fat that meat. When frying bacon there has to be plenty of fat in the pan which you can soak up with bread. Then a layer of hot...

This is the best bacon in Finland. Dry cured and smoked.

7 Did he mention water for flushing the toilet? If blackout includes the waterpumps that supply houses with water then you have one flush, after that no more water in flush tank.

@Keith_Beef Excactly. I think about ditching the part (with can opener) that utensils go in. It´s the heaviest part and since I have the P-51 can opener no need for it. Just put the utensils in a plastig bag.

I don´t have a survival tin but a firelighting kit in my cargo pocket. This is the content and the pouch it´s carried in. Tube with alcogel. Storm matches. Esbit-tablets. Telescopic blowtube.
