This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the
PEM curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the Sand badge in
Traditional Skills.
In the olden days, some food preservation and storage methods were a bit different. Let's explore food preservation from hundreds of years ago! These BBs can also apply to the Food Prep and Preservation badges as a twofer.
Here's one way to do it:
Minimum requirements:
- Make six hard tack biscuits
- This bb can only use materials that existed 200 years ago
- Must adhere to Food Prep and Preservation aspect rules prohibiting things like plastic, aluminum, etc
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- Ingredients you're starting with
- Mixing the ingredients
- Biscuits ready for the oven
- Cooked biscuits
- Demonstration of how hard (and thus shelf stable) they are
