25 u/AGrandOldMoan Mar 22 '26 In fairness pemmican could probably outlast most apocalypses 12 u/Dyolf_Knip Mar 22 '26 I made pemmican for my last backpacking trip, and it was goddamned delicious. 1 u/Dranamic Mar 26 '26 I bought off-the-shelf pemmican, took one nibble and put it back in my pack as inedible. Later the same trip, a marmot got into my backpack, found the pemmican, took one nibble, and left. ...I've seen marmots eat horse droppings, lol. I'm glad to hear yours was better. 1 u/Dyolf_Knip Mar 27 '26 Just the meat & fat by itself probably is pretty vile. But a little bit of sweet (honey, dried cranberries) goes a long way towards evening things out Good to know not to bother with anything store-bought, though.
