A threat to bacon...

[JimC]

how far north can one raise pigs, before needing to pay O&M on a building for them?

I might just stick to bison...They're easier to tend.

Can you make bison bacon?

[Svartalf]

No, but you can make pemmican and jerky

[Brian Peacock]

Mother always said that too muck jerky sends you blind.

I didn't see all that well before I started jerking off, and my sight doesn't seem to have been that much impaired by the massive self abuse I've been inflicting on myself... I guess your mum was wrong Brian.

of course, if she really meant beef jerky, I can't tell, it seems that product is unavailable in France so I haven't had any since 1992

[Brian Peacock]

Lak has a recipe if you're pining for beef jerky. Alternatively you could just cut up an old pair of shoes and chew that. The experience is indistinguishable from the real thing.

Traditional, teriyaki, peri-peri, chili stix, garlic and ginger, I got a bunch of recipes. There's a batch in the dehydrator now, should be ready tomorrow morning. I'm getting pretty good at it, if I do say so myself. Mrs. Lak won't even buy the commercial stuff in Swaziland, says it's terrible compared to mine, so first order of business when we get over there is build a dryer. Perhaps there's a business opportunity. No USDA regulatory hoops to jump through over there.

Only if it affects me, otherwise they're just a bunch of entitled whiners.

Time to get into hog farming from the look of it.

This is reason for have several month supply of home smoke bacon in freezer await for use. Maybe Avtomat will take advantage and open bacon black market.
