The Tactical Canned Bacon was made for underground bunkers who don't have the tools to dry their own [strips of meat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/streaky-beef-bacon). One Tac Bac Tactical Canned Bacon can comes with 54 pieces of bacon (about 9 ounces), and has a shelf life of over 10 years. For some reason, the longevity of the bacon shelf life seems a little unnatural to me. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Canned Food Innovations:** Opportunity to develop innovative canned food products that cater to specific niche markets, such as underground bunkers. - **Long-lasting Food Products:** Opportunity to create food products with extended shelf life to meet the needs of preppers, survivalists, and emergency preparedness. - **Alternative Protein Sources:** Opportunity to explore bacon alternatives that can be stored for long periods of time, offering a sustainable and convenient protein option. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Canned Food Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to introduce new and unique canned food items with long shelf lives and specific target markets. - **Emergency Preparedness Industry:** Opportunity to innovate and offer essential food supplies with extended shelf life, addressing the needs of survivalist and prepper communities. - **Alternative Protein Industry:** Opportunity to develop and market sustainable and long-lasting protein alternatives, catering to consumers seeking nutritious and convenient protein sources. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cinnamon-Bacon Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-toast-crunch-bacon.md) - [Cereal-Flavored Bacon Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-cinnamon-toast-crunch-bacon.md) - [Savory Cinnamon Bacon Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-cinnamon-toast-bacon.md) - [Pre-Cooked Vegan Bacon Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-snack-factory.md) - [Grab-And-Go Hickory Bacon Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vermont-smoke-cure1.md) - [Ranch Dressing-Flavored Bacons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-label-ranch-bacon.md) - [Ready-To-Cook Bacon Steaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildflour-bakery.md) - [Flavor-Packed Bacon Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pork-clouds.md) - [Carrot Bacon Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carrot-bacon.md)
