I went camping this summer.
Then the round ended and everyone whined because I killed them over and over again from sitting in my little spot.

I am proud to announce that at roughly 3PM EST I became the proud owner of a 20 year old can of bacon. Exactly as this image portrays (a little more rusty though).

I would even open and eat said can if it were not for the fact I don't trust pork products which are older than myself.

Would our resident health expert care to chime in on the risks of eating said pork product. (Yes, it must be cooked prior to eating)

Wish I had the money to spend on ancient food.
No, I have to spend my money on a Flowmaster exhaust system, OEM taillights (I hate the "Euro" taillights I bought my Mustang with) and some new damned tires. A small tube of touchup "True Blue Metallic" paint wouldn't be too bad, either.
Other stuff is needed, but can be found just as easily at a salvage yard.

I do have to say, though, that the Mustang I bought has exceeded all performance expectations. The suspension and traction is incredible compared to my parents' Nissan Sentra.

AS PER THE PETRIFIED PORK,
I would say that, if canned properly, stored adequately, and totally sealed for it's entire lifespan, it actually ought to still be good.
Scientists uncovered hot dogs a year or so back from the '70s while ravaging through a garbage dump, which were sealed air tight by other garbage, and were in such good shape the scientists actually ate them. My main problem with that story is that the people in the 1970s threw out the hot dogs, so there must have been something wrong with them in the first place, no?
However, the rust on your can seems to concern me. I wouldn't attempt opening them. Any oxidation and exposure to oxygen over time has likely spoiled the contents. I would highly recommend NOT opening the can.

I'm with Jkamo on this one - if it's sealed properly, shows no signs of tampering, and is otherwise intact, technically it should be good. If it's bulging at the sides or something like that, then don't eat it, just get rid of it; something has contaminated it, probably back when it was originally sealed up. Rust isn't a real concern, unless the can is leaking.

Medically, if the food is bad you'd probably get food poisoning. Most probably you'd feel sick for a few days and then get over it. In extreme cases you could be sick for a prolonged period, suffer irreversable damage, or die. But you'd have to either come up against something serious, be really young or really old, or have a depressed immunity.

But in saying that, I'm not a doctor, and the only safe advice is to not eat it. But technically the goods inside the Can of Preservation +5 are probably okay and you could eat them without too much concern.

Curious, Vicious, may I ask where you acquired said bacon?

My parents bought 12 acres out in the country. After tearing a hole in the side of the double wide out there (due to the excessively WTF amount of garbage that must be burned w/i) we discovered the bacon on the other side of the wall. Along with about 200 vinyls consisting mostly of classical music and marches with some old country and comedy albums mixed in. And a 120 year old bible as big and heavy as my monitor (CRT). These treasures are just from the dining room.

There are a shitload of books on WWII, history, and RP(think D&D). In the garage we tore down there was a ton of made in occupied japan ceramics and figurines and some 1943 army medical ceramics (not surgical stuff). I'm hoping to find some real prizes when we get to the back of the house :D .

Back to the issue at hand. I figured the bacon should still be edible but the rust concerned me. The can does not appear to be bulging and no leaks have been noticed. I'm really wanting to crack it open and eat it, just I don't have insurance and a pound of bacon is a lot since nobody in my house would even consider touching the stuff (maybe my dad).

Vicious, is your dad looking to employ anyone?
Is this his own salvage business? This work in itself seems delicious.
I'd love to do this kind of thing for a living. You could make a killing on eBay.
Buy up all the land, salvage the shit out of places, sell it all, afford to keep the land.
Land is probably the best investment out there ATM.

We don't have a business, even though we own three properties atm. Both my parents are prison guards.

We kinda have enough resources. My dad and I do most of the demolition. My mom helps us with throwing shit in the fire. We got a local guy that comes and picks up all the scrap metal (siding, appliances, etc.) for free. Have 24 hr access to a tractor w/ bucket and bushhog, no charge. We could probably drag my cousins out there if needed.

Then when we get moved out there w/ a new house it will be run on solar and wind. Have a couple acres of alfalfa hay (at 7 something a bail it will pay for itself and thensome). A couple cows for ourselves, a cow for my aunt on my dad's side, a cow for an aunt on my mom's side (these will have their own pasture seperate from the aforementioned alfalfa). The aunt on my mom's side is married to a butcher who can get all this cut up for free, or close to. The aunt on my dad's side will raise some chickens for us. There is deer, rabbit, and squirrel out there to hunt, no license needed since it is zoned agricultural. Going to dig a pond and stock with fish. And there will be a garden. The goal is to be pretty much self-sufficient. Great for when shit hits the fan.

The WWII stuff.
If you find any WWII military stuff and think you're interested in selling, let me know.
Will pay generously, especially if it's Nazi stuff.

Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye out for that kind of stuff. I already decided I'm keeping any weaponry that is found. K98, do want.

I have a K98 that was Military Issued. Nothing spectacular. Impressive, but nothing spectacular.
I'd much rather have a Sturmgewehr or a Panzerfaust. Hell, an MP40 wouldn't be bad.

If I'm going to invest in a new gun, I'm looking at a Yugoslavian SKS.
I enjoy target shooting with an SKS, it's always felt the most fluid to me of any gun I've shot.
I've used a Remington .308 (Have one deer credited to that gun), .30-06, Winchester .270, Yugo SKS, Numerous 22s, 8MM K\98.
Like you, I have concerned myself to the "World goes to shit" scenario. That and guns only appreciate in value if well-kept.

If I don't get a K98 out of this place then it will be the first rifle I invest in. Followed by a Mosin-Nagant, damn those Russians for manufacturing such great weapons. If they didn't tend to be so damn expensive I'd like to get a 1911 too. My dad knows where there is a supposed shitload of tommyguns, we're yet to try fishing em out with a magnet though. I could guarantee you one if we ever get around to it.
