QFC in Facroria used to carry this -- but no longer -- not worth flying to Anchorage to buy there -- anybody know of somewhere in the Seattle that still stocks it? (I could order from Amazon -- but would prefer to buy in a store)

Issaquah Market used to carry it but now it is a Dollar Store

I saw pilot bread at Saars in Bremerton last week. I think they have a store in Seattle.

I'm 90% sure I saw it at the Ballard Market - so any of the "Town & Country Market" stores may stock it - Shoreline, Winslow, Bellevue.
edit: Yup, Ballard Mkt has it, the "Sailor Boy" brand. Now I'm intrigued to try it, but if I didn't like it, I'd have to feed it to the birds in my yard, or get it to Randy.

Wow! Pilot bread! A flashback to Boy Scouts ... 50 years ago! Haven't had any interest since.
Good luck finding it locally. You can have my share!

Our kids loved Pilot Bread, they called it Pie Biscuits on long canoe trips. It once allowed me to kick steps up The Brothers.

Uwajimaya had some -- but not the "Sailor Boy" brand of my youth.
I have fond memories of eating the stuff smeared with PB&J or topped with sardines while sitting on various Cascade summits with my dad in the '60s and '70s. He passed away recently and I'm planning on revisiting many of those summits, releasing a bit of his ashes and lunching on Pilot bread.

Yeah, 50 years or more than that in my case. We had it with us on a hike out of Camp Parsons back in the early 50's.
The pilot bread I saw at Saar's was "Sailor Boy".

QFC in Wallingford is where we have been buying it (Sailor Boy pilot bread) for years. But we haven't been back (we still have some left in our supply) for a year or so so I can't guarantee that they still carry it.

I'm getting curious about this stuff now. What's it taste like, Randy? Can you compare it to something else out there? Hunting around on the web, there was one entry that said Pilot Bread is the modern equivalent of "hardtack", which doesn't sound appetizing at all. More like pure survival food from the 19th century. I don't think Pilot bread was mentioned in the "cracker recommendations" thread.

Right off hand I can’t think of anything to compare it to but to me it is different than hardtack. I think they sell it in the bulk section at Wincos.
It is okay with peanut butter but nowadays I think I prefer bagels.
