It\u2019s a dense, high-protein, high-energy food that can be stored easily on a stable temperature shelf for an incredible five years.\u00a0 It has the right mix of fats, proteins, and calories to keep you going long into the aftermath of any disaster or for many miles down any trail.<\/p>\n<p>There are hundreds of variants to this ancient food, but most are generally a mix of meat, berries, and fats.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHAT YOU NEED<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For this recipe, you simply need about 3 to 5 pounds of lean beef, 2 cups worth of dehydrated berries, salt, water, and tallow.\u00a0 You can either obtain your tallow from the store or render your own, as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityprepping.com\/2021\/06\/29\/how-to-make-tallow-with-beef-fat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I show you how to do in another post<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 You will also need a dehydrator or oven with a low setting and a food processor, or else you will have to powder both your dried meats and berries manually.\u00a0 A cookie sheet, wax paper, and a bowl and spatula are everything you will need.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3520

because living in the suburbs doesn\u2019t allow me to use and eat elk, moose, bison, caribou, seal, deer, or other meats.\u00a0 If you have access to any of those meats, your pemmican will taste even better, in my opinion.\u00a0 Generally, everyone has access to beef, so we\u2019ll use it here for our basic recipe.\u00a0 If you want to make your beef taste a little gamier, it is common practice to add organ meat to it.\u00a0 This will also significantly boost the nutritional quality of the food.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the
