I think you must be correct.
I “threw” the recipe together quickly and it turned out alright.
I want to try your idea next.

Simple hardtack recipe
You can make hardtack almost identical to what sailors, troops, and pioneers have been eating (minus the weevils!) by following this simple recipe:
4-5 cups of flour
2 cups of water
3 tsp. of salt
Mix the flour, water and salt together, and make sure the mixture is fairly dry. Then roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness, and shape it into a rectangle. Cut it into 3×3 inch squares, and poke holes in both sides. Place on an un-greased cookie or baking sheet, and cook for 30 minutes per side at 375˚ (or 350˚ if you have a convection oven).
When it’s done, you’ll want to let it dry and harden for a few days, just out in the open. When it has the consistency of a brick, it’s fully cured. Then simply store it in an airtight container or bucket. To prepare for eating, soak it in water or milk for about 15 minutes, and then fry in a buttered skillet. You can eat it with cheese, soup or just plain with a little salt added. Any way you do it, it’s delicious!
Nabisco did Pilot Crackers in again in
2008. Now we have to make our own. Or order from Mountain House is another alternative

Quickie alternate in the rain, when sitting in a
poncho making bread becomes tedious among raindrops.

Fresh warm campfire bread on a stick is awesome though !
sorry willi
gag me with a spoon. Wasa is not the same at all.
I would rather
split wood, start a fire in the yard, and make bannock on a stick than take one of them Wasa crackers out of the cupboard.
