Once upon a time, you wouldn't consider going out on a hunting trip or making a long journey without carrying some pemmican with you. It was like the protein bar of the day. If you want to keep alive this recipe and tradition, take a look at the video below.

Meat, tallow, and berries. It's as simple as that. Everything should be as dry as possible before you begin this recipe; the drier your meat and berries, the longer the pemmican will last without spoiling.

Her advice of using against-the-grain meat is an excellent point because grinding the meat into as small of chunks as possible is also going to lengthen the life span of the pemmican.

Sure, you could just have your stored meat in jerky form, but this method is also time-tested and guaranteed to work. It certainly gives you more options.
