How to Make Pemmican - the Ultimate DIY High Energy Camping Food, traditional food of the Voyageurs & Currier Du Bois. No Refrigeration Required: Preppers, Homesteaders, Preserves, Wild Game, dehydrated food, bug out, off-grid food. A staple food of the fur trade, Canada's Métis Nation of Southern Manitoba supplied the Northwest Company with enormous amounts of this energy and nutrient rich food each season. It provided food for the Voyageurs. It can be eaten as is or added to other meals such as stew or a "rubaroo", a traditional dish of the currier du bois. This is still an excellent thing to bring along on your off-grid, outdoor adventures of present day as it offers an exceptional amount of calories compared to it's minimal size and weight, and also because it lasts for months without refrigeration. It's also a very Keto Diet friendly food.

@robgilbert4556 5 месяцев назад

If you want the long term storage pemmican recommend using suet hard beef fat and a ratio of 50 meat 45 fat and 5% berries. If done right will last 25 years at room temp no fridge. If short term this would be fine as lard goes rancid faster.

@CarnivoreStork 2 года назад

Would it be better mixed in with a small amount of salt, for a better preservative and to keep your sodium up on hot summer days?

@JimBairdAdventurer 2 года назад

Traditionally there wasn’t any salt added to it, I’m not sure if a little bit would make a difference but it will last as is for 3 months and not problem on hot summer days either. In cool temps it can last for a lot longer.

It can last three months or more in summer temps without refrigeration. I wouldn’t say it really has a wild taste to it as in gamy but it can take some getting used to for some. I personally think it’s great.

@Mr1badb0y 6 месяцев назад

Howdy, just watching this for the first time. At the beginning you rendered a bunch of fat and poured it into mason jars. It then solidified into white paste. When you add the fat to the pemmican you say you are using hardened pig lard. Can you use the rendered fat from the meat as a substitute for the pig lard?

@JimBairdAdventurer 6 месяцев назад

The paste is actually called tallow. IRS rendered beef fat. It’s the same thing as lard essentially although lard is from a pig. Around the kidneys and loins of a cow or sheep, the hard, raw un rendwred fat is called suet.

@susanlamendeau2344 2 года назад

Di you store it in fridge or freezer and how long does it last if not refrigerated?

Great tip, you mean tallow right? Like rendered suet? It’s not just a survival food, it’s what I take with me for daily intake on expeditionary trips, not just emergency rations. So, if it’s about the same amount of work to make it taste good rather than bad, why not?
