Mocha's thread on RyeCrisp got me thinking (dangerous I know!), if any one makes their own HardTack.
I've made it (history research), but never took it for tripping food. Dense packing, long storage life, rugged crackers. Ingredients can be substituted to suit personal flavour. It goes very well with soups.
Basically pizza dough folded rolled repeat. Think I'll try some rye with caraway and sesame seeds!

Used a no-knead rye recipe, 1c rye, 2 1/2c white, 1ts salt, 1/2ts yeast, 2ts caraway and fennel seeds. Rolled folded several times, cut baked 30 min per side.
Came out crunchy and tasty.
Long term storage trials, 1 vac-bagged and frozen, 1 vac-bagged cupboard stored, 1 ziplocked cupboard stored, left a few to sit on a plate.
They came out like pretzel bits but firmer. Seem to be very packable, tasty out of the oven, and after cooling. May be an addition to my tripping foods!

quote mr.barley: "I may try my hand at it...make the softer version with cinnamon and raisins."
It looks interesting, worth a try. Maybe add a little barley malt from the mash for body? :^)
I remember seeing it at Old World Wisconsin in the Swedish homestead. It was cut in a circle with a hole on the middle and hung by running a string through the holes. Don't know if the hanging was to keep it dry or away from the mice?

I thought this thread was about my medical history...
