I’m a huge fan of bread. The problem is I have yet to find a god bread that is suitable for multi day trips. Most of the time I carry bagels but am looking for other suggestions in the bread category that don’t crumble, squish or otherwise become less than satisfactory.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

B&M Brown Bread was a family survivalist staple for the fallout shelter when I was a child. (1960's)
B&M Brown Bread
Fast forward to 2018. I stumbled on some cans in a local prepper store and grabbed them up in a fit of nostalgia. i took a can out on a winter pack trip, New Years 2019, and with butter and hard sauce, it was an absolute hit with a pot of hot tea and rum. Wycanislatrans used to always show up for winter hikes in Wyoming with pilot bread or fruitcakes.

I have been using the smaller soft flour tortillas. They are pretty robust and widely available in stores. A wrap is good like a sandwich.

This will sound crazy, but you could bake some bannock bread out on the trail. Living in the east fires are permissible so weve made it by wrapping the dough on a stick. A few years back we also made a trail oven in a fit of boy scout ingenuity. We used three 7" pie tins. I wish I still had it or a picture of it. Basically, flip the second pie tin upside down on the first and line up the lip all the way around. Drill a small hole through both lips of the tin at the same location for a small bolt and wing nut. Place the third pie tin right side up, on top of the two that were just bolted and line up the bases. Drill a hole for a small bolt and wing nut in the base of each. Put together like this, the now connected pans could be placed over a twig fire while another twig fire I'd built in the top pan. The space in between the first 2 pans is the oven. They are stacked like this: \___/ / \ \ / ---- Sorry for the poor description and image. Maybe I should make one again to show how and have good pictures.

I make skillet biscuits, if we're on a fishing trip where no fires are allowed and I have a skillet. Otherwise I take some tortillas. Bread doesn't do so well in a bear canister.

B&M Brown Bread was a family survivalist staple for the fallout shelter when I was a child. (1960's) That was a always a big treat in our house in that era. I haven't made bread-like food on the trail in ages. Year ago I made biscuits a few times and pancakes, but it wasn't worth the trouble. I've made bannock while car camping, but it's been even longer.

Since bread has a high air content to give it lift, it is destined to get squished easily. High gluten (like bagels, possibly some ciabatta), flat breads or dense, vacuum-packed German breads are the only alternatives I can think of as a former baker. Or, do like the explorers did: bring hardtack.

Pita. Also a nice dense dark pumpernickel. Heavier dark ryes also work. Unsliced keeps longer.
Another benefit of hard canister mandates, raised bread won’t get squished.
