Roughly 3 times the size of a Ritz cracke...r, about twice as thick. Tastes like a unsalted cracker, perhaps slightly toastier. Sturdy, yet brittle enough to bite into like a normal cracker. Easy eating - this is NOT hardtack! Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a large, edible, surface area for toppings and the strength to hold it up. Got it to investigate its potential for emergency/backpacking purposes. It has almost a cult following, with Alaskans, apparently, being the biggest. On the theory that Alaskans know something about living in an environment which can be harsh, that's a pretty good endorsement I'd say.

Very good product and happy with the purchase. The only ...downside is broken crackers when it's sent but most of the crackers arrived intact with only one likely crushed, two broken in half, and few more with chipped edges. Overall all I was very pleased. These are dense crackers that reminded me of the old style MRE crackers from over 30 years ago. I vacuum packed some in pairs for hiking and they held up perfectly during the process of having the air sucked out of the package. I understand Alaska gets 98 percent of the crackers baked. It's too bad the company doesn't sell these across the lower 48, I believe it would be popular.

I loved these as a kid. I've been looking in... my local stores, and they are no longer carried locally. I'll buy them now and again. No nutritional value to speak of, but they are the perfect platform for whatever spread or cheese you have handy. Enjoyed them greatly.

IBC pilot bread is a fantastic product. It is made similar t...o hard tack rather than crackers. It keeps for years, tastes good, and lends itself to use with people Artie's, dinners, outdoors even survival situations. I try to keep a 5 gallon bucket full of them.

I found these crackers to have a wonderful favor. Delicio...us with cheese on them and as they are four inches in diameter, two of them fill me up. Perfect for camping trips. They are a little hard but not nearly as hard as I thought they would be. I love these crackers and I am buying more too.
