"Pemmican?
(Awful stuff but very nourishing)"

Now hold it right there. Pemmican need not be awful. In fact it can be very good if it's put together with good ingredients and properly prepared. You can do just about anything with it.

Ounce for ounce, they can contain more calories than mainstay or any other survival food out there. They can be packed full of nutrition and variety as well.

Don't knock the Pemmican. If it's bad, it is the fault of the person who's making it.
