Can you still buy ham that doesn't require refrigeration?  It seems that all the hams in the grocery stores and meat markets require refrigeration.  If I remember my history lessons correctly, the whole purpose of making hams was because it was a way of preserving meat without refrigeration.  Curing the pork with smoke, salt and sugar was all that was necessary to keep the ham from spoiling.  I used to be able to buy ham that didn't need refrigeration off the shelf from Cub Foods or Super One.  I still pack ham when I go to Quetico.  I just freeze it before I leave and then give it some insulation and it does fine.  But I would prefer ham that doesn't require refrigeration.

So does anyone know where you can buy ham that doesn't require refrigeration.

You should be able to find a source for smoked ham on the net.  I think you can even order one from Cabelas? seems like they have a lot of smoked food items in thier Christmas Gift catalog.  Don't remember who it was, but I once had a chat with someone who had ordered a smoked ham from some catalog - said it was dry and tougher than hell.

westwood,
try this place:www.countrysmokehouseinc.com
i think they might have what your looking for?
they specialize in wild game processing.
last spring i brought 2lbs of venison/jalepeno snack sticks and 1 1/2 venison jalepeno summer sausage on my may trip in the Q.
i had the summer sausage for lunch, with the little round cheeses in wax and whole wheat pita bread.
makes a quik and mighty tasty lunch!!
ate snack sticks anytime and also diced into beans and rice or whatever i was having if the fish didn't cooperate .
they send things out by UPS and are pretty fast.

Why look elsewhere?  There's plenty of hams right here on this website!
