A collection of 17 survival bread recipes that can be made on and off the trail.

In the history of man, bread has been synonymous with life.  The cultivation of grains changed the course of mankind.  Bread is a symbol of bounty, nourishment, comfort, and hope.  The history of bread and our relationship with it dates to accounts of primitive man grinding wild grains between smooth rocks to make crude cakes, cooked in the ashes and wrapped in animal skins for storage until eaten.  For many in history, bread of some variety, shape, or form has made the difference between living or dying from starvation during times of extreme hardship.

The purpose of this guide is to detail survival-style bread recipes that can be prepared with simple tools and ingredients. These recipes will provide valuable nourishment in times of need, or even famine.  Many of these recipes are based on historical accounts, where a certain style of bread was born out of necessity to certain people, in uncertain situations, during uncertain times.  Regardless of the origin, all 17 of these survival bread recipes have one common thread—the result is a unique, relevant version of life-saving, gut-filling, hope-inspiring bread.
