Oscar Meyer also has Ready To Eat Bacon too that sits on shelves, I live around the corner from A Giant supermarket so I'll go check the quantity vs. price ratio when I next go there, in a way I'd think it would be better too, it come in a flat package that would sit better in a pack then cans could and weigh probably way less too.

Yeah, I think it's a reselling of Survival Bacon from here:
http://www.survivaloutpost.com/servlet/the-164/Yoder%27s-Canned-Bacon--dsh-/Detail

You save like $20 buying it in bulk over there, but 9 ounces of Bacon for $12.50 still sounds like a prety good deal. And it has a 10 year shelf life!

Besides, you can stick it in a sock an it turns into a zombie smashing flail! When's the last time you saw boxed Bacon do that?

USER WAS FOUND TO HAVE A SEVERE CASE OF LAST-DITCHERY

Just make sure it has little fat. Even precooked tends to have a lot of fat on it that comes off or is inedible(aka gross feeling in your mouth). For every like pound of uncooked bacon there's only really like a couple ounces of edible bacon. So cooked bacon should cost a lot less for the amount that's there 'cause its lighter.
So I guess what I'm saying is, try and make sure you get Bacon with all the fat melted off, or if the store has a salad bar type thing, see if there's cooked bacon. Also don't pay for names.

We went to CostCo today and I had my phone, but its not a great camera, still here's some photos.
I recommend you have the image like 2 pages back of this picture with the words still intact because I erased a lot of them on this one to make room for other things. ALSO I updated a lot of room placement on this one too because I had some off in the last diagram. One thing I didn't update is the building length (see picture #6 comment on building length)
First a Map Key sort of thing, the caps are point I don't want anyone to misunderstand, I'm not yelling at you I swear

Where the PINK/PURPLE line ENDS (right before it turns green) is where I was standing when I took the picture

The DIRECTION the GREEN line goes is the DIRECTION I pointed the camera when I took the picture.

The ORANGE rectangles are 50 foot tall shelf like things made of orange bars (see diagram: http://www.transportation-b2b.com/b2b/pics/Heavy_Duty_Warehouse_Shelf.jpg)

The BLUE rectangles are the checkout lanes, nothing special here.

The GRAY likes near the entrance is a chain fence that reaches to the 60-70 foot high ceiling.

Shot Explanations:
Image #1 is a picture from right outside the door looking into the big refrigerator. People in the shot are probably around 5'5" for reference.

Image 2 is a shot from INSIDE the refrigerator looking out, to show the size, bottom left corner is the top of the door you see in shot 1

Image 3 was an attempt at showing the steel door that can come down (its like a thick garage door) to seal the entrance to the refrigerated room, it came out kind of crappy.

Image #4 does not point anywhere because it was a shot I took while we were leaving from the parking lot, its the outside of the building but there's trees in the way.

Shots 5a and 5b are the same shot, its a vertical panorama of the ceiling/giant orange shelves, if you look closely you see where they intersect. The point of this shot was to show how high the ceiling is. The mans head is my dad, he's 6 feet tall for reference.

Image 6 is showing how wide the building is, the length is easily 1.5x the width.

Image 7 is from inside the entrance but before you enter the building itself, its like a containment chamber at a butterfly/bird house, or a hazardous material lab.

Image 8 is the front entrance from outside

Image 9 is just to the let of the front entrance, its where the shipping trucks dock and load etc. You can see Door #9's right counterpart in the right side of picture 8

Image 10 is from when we already checked out and were heading toward the exit and I snapped a pic of the kitchen.

Image 11 is when we were in the checkout line and I got a picture of the pharmacy.

i worked at BJ's during the winter in the produce section. i used to hide in there and read when my boss wasn't around, the things are heavily fortified, but unless you keep moving you knuckles slow down on you rather quickly.

I like the layout, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few emergency exits besides the main one, I think that's a federal law or something.

The big shelves concern me. It's like the warehouse area in l4d, you really don't know what's around you, even if you're right next to it. I think a catwalk across the tops would be a good idea for patrolling.

And besides the usual deal about the manpower needed to commandeer the whole warehouse it sounds like your pretty well prepared.

I would look into leadership skills, personal communications, and morale management for anyone that plans on leading a large group of people, hell it's important for anyone facing a high stress situation but several times more important for those in leadership positions no matter how small. A group of three can destroy each other from withing just as easily as a group in the hundreds.

I'm not sure, but this wouldn't be a violation of any of the rules would it? cause this could easily be mistaken for something else.
