How to make Pemmican – The Ultimate Survival Super-Food

How to make Pemmican – The Ultimate Survival Super-Food

Friday, March 20, 2026 7:33

Article originally published on Ask A Prepper

Invented by the natives of North America, pemmican was used by Indian scouts as well as early western explorers. These people spent a great deal of time on the go and depended on having portable, high-energy, highly nutritious, and filling foods that would last for long periods of time.
Pemmican was light, compact, and calorie-dense enough that a pound of it could sustain a man through a full day of hard travel. Done correctly, it requires no refrigeration and can remain shelf-stable for years, sometimes decades. According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, dried beef alone delivers roughly 50 grams of protein per 100 grams, and when combined with rendered animal fat, the resulting food provides approximately 3,000 to 4,000 calories per pound.
Pemmican consists of lean, dried meat which is crushed to a powder and mixed with hot, rendered fat. Back in those days the natives made it with bison, deer, or elk but nowadays it is usually made with beef. Crushed, dried berries can be added as well.

A man could subsist entirely on pemmican, drawing on the fat for energy, the protein for strength and vitamins for health. There are a few cases in history of people living for months (in good health) only out of pemmican.

So, it’s easy to understand why I choose pemmican as the ultimate survival-superfood.
What Makes Pemmican a True Survival Food

Most emergency foods fail on at least one of the metrics that actually matter in a grid-down scenario: caloric density, weight, shelf life, or nutritional completeness. Pemmican scores well on all four, which is why it remained the logistics backbone of North American exploration for over two centuries.
Here is what you are actually getting per pound of properly made pemmican:

• Calories: 3,000 to 4,000 per pound, depending on the fat-to-meat ratio. That is more than a full day of calories in less than half a kilogram of food.
• Protein: Approximately 40 to 50 grams per 100 grams of lean dried meat component, primarily from complete animal protein with all essential amino acids. The
• Fat: Animal fat provides long-burn energy. Unlike carbohydrate-based fuels that spike and crash, fat metabolism is steady and sustaining, exactly what you need over a long bug-out.
• Micronutrients: Lean red meat delivers meaningful amounts of zinc, B12, niacin, and phosphorus. Dried berries add vitamin C and antioxidants. These are not incidental extras. Vitamin C deficiency becomes a real concern within weeks in a prolonged survival scenario.
• Weight efficiency: A two-week supply of pemmican (roughly 14,000 calories) weighs approximately 3.5 to 4.5 pounds. Try matching that with rice and beans.

No other single food that can be made at home without specialized equipment comes close to this profile. That is not marketing. That is logistics.
People really should avert their gaze from the modern survival thinking for just a bit and also look at how the guys who wandered the west 130 or so years ago did it. As I’ve said it in a recent article (30 Lost Ways of Survival from 1880) the “SHTF” we all prep for is what folks 150 years ago called “daily life:” No electrical power, no refrigerators, no Internet, no computers, no TV, no hyper-active law enforcement, no Safeway or Walmart.

How to Make Pemmican

You’ll need:

• 4 cups lean meat or a pound (deer, beef, caribou or moose)
• 3 cups blueberries (or other dried fruits)
• 2 cups rendered fat (or 1/2 pounds)
• Optional – about 1 shot of honey (you can add nuts but they will lower the self life)

Before you start, understand the ratio. The traditional pemmican ratio is 1:1 by weight of dried meat to rendered fat. That means if you end up with one pound of powdered dried meat, you need one pound of liquid fat. Getting this wrong in either direction causes problems. Too little fat and the pemmican will not bind properly or store as long. Too much fat and it goes rancid faster, because the excess fat that is not absorbed into the powder is more exposed to oxygen. Tallow, rendered from beef or mutton kidney fat, outperforms lard for long-term storage because of its higher saturated fat content and lower residual moisture. According to research published in the Journal of Food Science, saturated fats oxidize significantly more slowly than polyunsaturated fats, which directly translates to longer shelf life. Use tallow if you can get it.
To make it even simpler for you, we also have a video of making the simplest pemmican possible here:

How to Make Pemmican - The Ultimate Survival Food

Get about a pound and a half of lean, grass-fed shoulder roast and let it firm up in the freezer so you can slice it thin.

Add salt and pepper. Set the oven to the lowest possible temperature (around 150 degrees) and put the strips of meat directly onto the rack. Crack the oven door to prevent moisture buildup.
At this point, you can also put a handful of frozen wild blueberries on a small oven pan to dry out with the meat.
Let the meat dry out for about fifteen hours, or until it is crispy. Toss it in the food processor until it becomes a powder. Do the same with the blueberries. In the old days they’d pound it with a rock to turn it into a “powder”.
For the fat portion of pemmican, you can use tallow (rendered beef or mutton fat) or lard (rendered pork fat). Cut up your fat in small pieces and place the fat into the crockpot. Set the crock pot on low heat and remove it only after it becomes completely liquid. Use a strainer to avoid all the crispy bits; you just want the pure, liquid fat.

Mix the meat and berry powder together, then slowly add the hot liquid fat. Pour just enough so that the fat soaks into the powder – slowly.

Let it firm up, then cut it into squares or roll it into a ball.
How Long Does Pemmican Last? Storage Conditions That Actually Matter

The “lasts for decades” claim is real, but it depends entirely on how you store it. Get the conditions wrong and you will have rancid fat and mold inside a year. Get them right and pemmican is genuinely one of the most shelf-stable foods a prepper can make.
The three enemies of pemmican are moisture, oxygen, and light. Here is how to defeat all three:

• Moisture is the primary threat. Your meat must be fully desiccated before processing, meaning crispy and brittle with zero flex when you bend a strip. Any residual moisture accelerates bacterial growth and rancidity. The
• Oxygen degrades fat. Wrap individual pemmican bars tightly in wax paper, then vacuum seal them if possible. Stored in vacuum-sealed pouches inside a cool, dark location, pemmican has been documented lasting 5 years or more with no degradation. The wax paper layer prevents the pemmican from sticking to the vacuum bag.
• Light accelerates oxidation. Keep your storage container opaque and out of direct light. A dark pantry, root cellar, or a buried cache container all work.
• Temperature matters for medium-term storage. Below 60 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal. Above 75 degrees consistently will shorten shelf life. For long-term storage beyond five years, consider a vacuum-sealed tin stored below ground.
• Know the signs of spoilage. Rancid pemmican smells sharply sour or like old motor oil. Mold appears as white or green fuzz. If either is present, do not eat it.

One critical note: if you add nuts as the recipe mentions, expect shelf life to drop significantly, to one year or less, because of the high polyunsaturated fat content in most nuts. Honey does not significantly affect shelf life.

Wrap these “pemmican balls” in wax paper and store them in a ziplock bag in a cool, dark place.

How Much Pemmican Do You Actually Need?

This is the question most pemmican articles skip. Knowing how to make it is half the job. Knowing how much to stockpile is the other half.
A single standard pemmican bar weighs roughly 2 ounces and delivers approximately 300 to 350 calories, depending on your fat-to-meat ratio. An active adult male doing moderate physical work in a bug-out scenario needs 2,500 to 3,500 calories per day. A woman needs roughly 2,000 to 2,500. Use these benchmarks:

• 72-hour bug-out bag (1 person): 7 to 10 bars. About 1.5 pounds of pemmican. Fits in a quart-size zip bag.
• 2-week supply (1 person): Approximately 3.5 to 4.5 pounds of pemmican. Plan for 10 bars per day at the high end of caloric need.
• 30-day supply (1 person): 8 to 10 pounds. Can realistically be produced from a single large batch using 4 to 5 pounds of raw lean meat and 2 to 3 pounds of tallow.
• Family of 4, 2 weeks: 14 to 18 pounds. This is a significant production commitment. Plan at least two full batch cycles.

One batch using the recipe quantities in this article (1 lb lean meat, 2 cups fat) will yield approximately 20 to 24 bars at 2 ounces each. That covers one person for roughly two to three days. Scale your production accordingly and start well before you think you need to. The Ready.gov emergency preparedness guidelines recommend a minimum two-week food supply for every household member. Pemmican is one of the most efficient ways to meet that standard.
Back in the 1800, the Metis (one of the recognized Aboriginal peoples in Canada) would go southwest onto the prairie, slaughter buffalo, convert it into pemmican and carry it north to trade at the North West Company posts.

For these people on the edge of the prairie the pemmican trade was as important a source of trade goods as was the fur trade for the Indians further north. And this is because for a serious journey, almost all foods would have been too heavy to carry.

If you’ll ever have to bug out – especially without a car – keep this in mind: Pemmican is the most compact, light, natural and nutritious supply you can take with you.
Pemmican Variations for Modern Preppers

The core recipe is fixed: dried meat plus rendered fat. Everything else is a variable. Here are practical variations that work without sacrificing shelf life:

• Venison pemmican: Deer meat is leaner than beef, which makes it ideal for pemmican. If you hunt, this is the obvious first choice. The lower fat content in the meat means you get a cleaner dry and a better powder. The flavor is stronger than beef, which some people prefer.
• Dried cranberry or cherry instead of blueberry: Any dried berry works. Cranberries add tartness and are naturally high in vitamin C. Avoid sweetened commercial dried fruit if possible since the added sugars can introduce moisture and reduce shelf life. Dry your own from fresh or frozen fruit using the same low-temperature oven method.
• Dried herb additions: Dried rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder can be mixed in with the meat powder. They do not affect shelf life meaningfully and they make a significant difference in palatability over a long-term supply. If you are eating pemmican every day for two weeks, you will care about this.
• Air fryer small batch: If you want to test a recipe before committing to a 15-hour oven batch, an air fryer at 150 to 160 degrees will dry thin-sliced meat in 4 to 6 hours. Check every 90 minutes. The result is identical. According to the
• Kidney fat vs suet vs lard: Kidney fat (from around the kidneys and loins) renders into the purest, most neutral-tasting tallow and has the lowest moisture content of any animal fat source. Suet is the next best. Lard works but has a shorter shelf life. If you are sourcing from a local butcher, ask specifically for kidney fat.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pemmican

Can you eat pemmican raw, right out of storage?
Yes. Pemmican requires no cooking. The meat is already fully dried and the fat is already rendered. You eat it as-is, which is the entire point. It is ready to consume with zero preparation, zero fuel, and zero equipment.

Does pemmican need to be refrigerated?

No, which is why it was the preferred trail food for explorers and scouts operating far from any base. Properly made and stored pemmican is shelf-stable at room temperature. Refrigeration extends shelf life further but is not required.
Is pemmican keto-friendly?
Yes. The macronutrient profile of pemmican is roughly 60 to 70 percent fat and 30 to 40 percent protein with minimal carbohydrates, depending on how many berries you add. It is one of the most naturally ketogenic foods that exists. For preppers already eating a low-carb diet, pemmican is a logical long-term food storage choice.
How do I know if my pemmican has gone bad?

Trust your nose first. Rancid fat has a sharp, sour, chemical smell that is unmistakable once you know it. Mold looks like white or green fuzz on the surface. Either is disqualifying. Do not eat it. If your pemmican smells neutral or mildly meaty and has no visible growth, it is fine.

Can I use coconut oil instead of animal fat?
Technically yes, but it produces an inferior product for long-term storage purposes. Coconut oil is high in saturated fat, which is good, but it has a lower smoke point and different binding characteristics than tallow. More importantly, traditional pemmican depends on the specific fatty acid profile of animal fat for both flavor and preservation. Coconut oil pemmican is a modern shortcut that works for short-term use but is not what you want for a decade-long cache.
How long does it take to make a batch of pemmican?
Budget a full day. Meat drying takes 12 to 15 hours in a low oven. Rendering the fat takes 3 to 4 hours in a slow cooker. The actual mixing and shaping takes about 30 minutes. You can run both processes in parallel, starting the fat rendering while the meat is in its final hours of drying.
