Way to go Dan. I have never seen that done. I’ve bought it, eaten it. Thought it just as you said, “You need to be hungry”. I’m an old outdoors guy, and just learned a new refreshing trick, from a smart, hardworking young man. Thanks, Texas

I heard that farmers in Saskatchewan, Canada, have found pemmican in their fields that was around 200 years old, and it was still edible. It does have a long storage life, for sure. It was the original energy bar. Great video. Cheers!

"Pemmican" is from the Cree language. Among the Plains People, chokeberries were occasionally added. Adding berries does shorten the "shelf-life" somewhat. But still, without berries, you get anywhere from ten to thirty years before it goes bad.

Pemmican is thousands of years old. The indigenous peoples of the eastern half of North America made some version of it, melting and cleaning the kidney/leaf fats from around the organs of ruminants (deer, bison, etc) to make tallow, and mixing it with hard-dried jerky meat (usually from the same animal) that had been ground up into a powder. They'd mix weight for weight about half and half powdered meat and tallow, then package it in rawhide. It then could be kept in a dry, cool location for a very long time, literally for decades. The tribes and nations taught it to the trappers and settlers who arrived during the 1600s-1800s.

1:20 Tallow is just what you would call rendered beef fat. Suet is the most common type of fat that people make tallow out of.

MrFreeGman

do you think adding salt would a) negatively affect storage life and/or b) improve the taste?

Good video trap line makes good muskrat or beaver pemmican and it is tasty for a snack on the line

I like what your showing but it's easier to do at home with a food processor, , , grinds the dried meat to powder, it mixes better with suet an dried berries.
