Pemmican
I’ve made a lot of hardtack, but never Pemmican. I plan to experiment in the next few weeks. Has anyone tried making or eating it? Thanks.

I have not, but I am curious! Would love to know how it goes.

I’ve been researching pemmican on and off. The problem right now is finding beef cheap enough to experiment with. Even eye of round is around $10 per pound where I live.

I agree with @Josh, right now it is expensive if you go buy ingredients from the store. Last year I tried to make pemmican. My local butcher just threw away all his extra fat and said he could save it for me, so that was a win price wise for 1/3 of the recipe. But the lean meat that is required is just too darn expensive. I figured it was going to be about $50 or so just to make a small piece. Not worth it for me.
I’ve been really wanting to go hunting. I think that is the only price efficient way to actually make pemmican in 2020.
When I click on the ‘Courses’ button on The Prepared’s website, I see one of their upcoming online courses is hunting and field dressing. I think that would be a good time for them to do a side article about making homemade pemmican if they haven’t made that course already.

Looks like your wish for a TP pemmican article has been granted. 🙂
