Thse are good pack grub, and tend to hold up well so long as they stay dry. They don't last near as long as Pemmican, but I thought you might appreciate these as well. When we are out elk hunting, the guys (and girls) will pack along a few of these with their other provisions.

Big Ben's Coon Balls

3 cups baking mix (bisquik or make your own)
1 lb hot breakfast sausage
1 lb sharp cheddar or jack cheese
1 small can diced green chiles, or diced jalapenos if you can take the heat
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Several dashes of hot sauce

Makes about 30 balls

Mix all ingredients. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough into balls about ¾ to 1 inch in diameter. Place on pan spaced so sides don’t touch. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a cooling rack. When cool, put in airtight containers (ziplocs or plastic containers). Will keep unrefrigerated for a month or so, as long as they are kept dry. Will keep in the refrigerator for up to three months. Will keep in the freezer for maybe a year. Unused dough can be refrigerated or frozen and used later.
