These Freeze Dried Smoked Ham Slices are current production over-runs, manufactured in 2025, from a large military defense contractor. We just purchased a large lot of this ham directly from a Defense Reutilization Office (DRO) Source. Although actual use is always classified on these kinds of bids, our information is that these are purchased for the Executive Branch use, not for our troops in the field. That usually means these go to underground bunkers for continuity of government use by strategic military leaders, congressional members and sometimes even White House staff or leadership.
As always, we opened several cans to try these out before we offer them to you, and these ham slices are amazing: maple flavored, juicy, tender, very tasty, and as fresh as the day they were flash frozen and dehydrated! 
Preparation: To prepare the ham, just soak it in water for 10-15 minutes and remove excess fluid. Use this ham in sandwiches, scrambled eggs, omelets, sauté with vegetables, in stews, or any recipe that calls for ham. It is quick and easy disaster preparedness food solution Once rehydrated, they look just like regular ham slices you would get at your local grocer's deli. 
You can expect 25+ years shelf life as long as the steaks are sealed in the can - and probably as many as 30 to 40 since there is no water or oxygen in the can to spoil them!!! 
Once opened they will last:
- up to 1 year in a Zip Lock bag with refrigeration once opened but not rehydrated
- up to 60 days in a zip lock bag without refrigeration once opened, but not rehydrated.
- up to 5 days in the fridge once they are rehydrated
These are perfect for storing and using for many years! You can have great tasting food in seconds with no mess and no waste - and it doesn't matter if the power goes out!! can open just one can at a time and have a great quality food ready to eat in only 15 minutes! Perfect for camping, boating, traveling, or at the cabin.

Let customers speak for us
from 103 reviewsGreat stuff, usually much better than description and if not, they have great customer service. I am generally a really grumpy old man with a terrible attitude but I have not been disappointed by Forest City Supply products or customer service on the rare occasions its needed (but they are quick to respond and reconcile any problems!). The world may be going to hades but I will do it well equipped. I highly recommend them.
 
  Order arrived on time and in good condition
 
  Both the intermediate cold sleeping bags & the bivy covers conditon were better than anticipated
 
  The Ruck appears to be a new one. I was expecting a used one. The price was well worth it.
 
  Saw this brand new woobie and added it to my cart without thinking. Heard these had been found and other surplus sites have them listed for way more. No wonder they sold out so fast. Definitely a new favorite site.
 
  Great deal on a perfectly good pack. Condition exactly as described with one small tear that doesn't impact functionality at all. Can't believe the prices these guys have with fast shipping as well. Recommended to a ton of friends who also picked some up. Will continue to use going forward for surplus needs.
 
  Shipping was super fast, and the description of the item was spot on. Very happy with my purchase.
 
  My son's should be here very soon.
 
  I expected pretty used gear. They don’t appear to be used at all. And the shipping was quick.
 
  Fast delivery, great gear, awesome value. 
I couldnt ask for a better experience!
