    There's still a kind of salt cured pork at many stores that is basically the exact same as the old stuff except it has just enough salt to preserve it but not so much you have to pre-soak it to make it palatable. On occasion i'll buy it to make lobscouse.

  • @vaylonkenadell

    Excellent video. I've made my own salt pork before, and it was excellent to cook with. I love it with collard greens or butter beans. I've not experimented with using salt pork as a field provision, but if I had to, I would trust it -- as long as I had packed it myself! There were times when soldiers were so desperately hungry and so exhausted that they would simply eat the salt pork as it was -- no preparation whatsoever. (For this reason, salt pork, which was tender, was preferred over tough salt beef.)

    The sailing ships of old - which had no refrigeration to speak of - also relied on barrels and barrels of salt pork and beef to feed the crew with. The term "old salt" to refer to an experienced sailor probably has to do with the salinity of the oceans on which they sailed, but I also like to think it has at least a little to do with the steady consumption of salted pork and beef in their diet. Anyway, great video and very informative. Thanks for the upload.

      SK Wier did an interesting write-up on the necessary dimensions - you can find that here:www.westernexplorers.us/Powder_Canisters_of_Lewis_and_Clark.pdf . For constructing them, they purchased sheet lead and had a pipefitter/maker assemble them from the lead. A sheet could be rolled into a tube and then soldered along the side and the top and bottom with lead caps. They then filled it with gunpowder. These were probably a little safer than packets of pre-wrapped cartridges or barrels/tins of powder. They still carried the risk of being a bunch of powder stored together.
