I'm half-way through the Neaderthin book, and I'm pretty impressed. It's
tempting to take low-carb a step further, but for some of the more unusual
food items ... namely pemmican. I've tried to look for a source but come up
empty handed. Yes, I know there are many recipes out there, but I'd prefer
to obtain it from a reliable source (as I'm not much of a cook). If you know
someone selling pemmican, I'm keen to know more!

Thanks

It is sold online, but very expensive. You can make your own if you
have an oven.

   Hi Ig. I have not made any more pemmican since I talked to you last
time, but I still make jerky often for snacks. I tried some of the pemmican
I have saved from march about a month ago, and it was still tasty, and shows
no signs of spoiling despite not being refridgerated. This coming march,
will be exactly one year for my first experiment. My second attempt was in
august. I will sample both of them at the end of march and let you know my
results.
  I have an order of 10lbs of suet coming in about 1 month from a small
butcher. One of my co-workers raises free range cattle and every time he
slaughters one for his own use, he asks me if I want some. I'm going to try
and make a fairly large amount for hiking and snacks this summer. The
rendered fat I used for my first 2 attempts was offcuts from steaks and
roasts. I want to see if suet will give the pemmican a harder consistancy(as
it should) for carrying around.

I sure would like to know where to get some...I'd like to try it before
venturing off into making it.

  There use to be a store on an Indian reserve between Calgary and Banff
that sold some homemade pemmican. But that was quite some time ago, and they
no longer sell it(different owners). I have seen some websites that sell it,
but like Ig says, it is pricey. I would have at least liked to have tried
some to compare it with my own and possibly get some tips from the maker.
 One of the major problems I had in making it was that I tried to use a
blender to chop up the chunks. The small resulting peices looked about small
enough, but were sharp, and gave a gritty consistancy like sand mixed with
fat. My second attempt, I borrowed a hand crank meat grinder. This worked
better when I mixed some rendered fat with small chunks of meat to help
lubricate the process. The consistancy was quite smooth and tasted good.
  My wife and daughter don't like the resulting combination of fat and
meat. I used my own beef jerky to make it, which they both love. I can't
keep up with the jerky because it seems to disappear so fast. I think
pemmican is an acquired taste for some people. I think it tastes great if
the gritty consistancy problem can be easily solved. It is quite a bit of
work involved if done by hand.
 I'm sure if I keep trying, I will eventually find what works best. Some
time in the next year or so, I would like to try living off it solely for a
2 week period. I am not a radical survivalist, but I do see it as being
useful for emergency rations. It has a very long shelf life, which is
amazing when you think about it. Handy to know and have around even if I
never have to use it.

None of these sites actually sells pemmican. Some carry the Pemmican Brand

well just grind up some jerky berries and fat (G) it is very high calorie and
made to keep people alive during very cold winters. you could eat very little of

$2.97 for 31.5 floz.  Bizzare size but inexpensive.

Since I bought a quart of coconut butter for three bucks
I've been using it fairly regularly for a couple of weeks.
Doesn't seem to impose any flavor to me.  Maybe I am
less sensative to the specific chemcial involved.

For that you could get macadamia nut oil.  For that I

Apparently it melts at 77F.  Should be fine in the winter,
a mess in the summer.  Unless the meat soaks up the fat
and forms a mash.

Uh, huh ... and did you actually try to use Google to find someone selling
pemmican? Because I did. Google provides plenty of recipies, but nothing in
the way of a retailer. It was through this group I found but a single
source.

Thanks for the effort.

AmazingBollWeevil is right, real pemmican is hard to find in google. I
looked for it and could not find it about 6 months ago. I finally
decided to check out the neanderthin website and found pemmican there.

The question asked was: ``did you actually try to use Google to find
someone selling pemmican''. The OP did not ask how to MAKE it, he asked
where to BUY it.

point to retailers of actual pemmican.

this one is the same page referred to by the neanderthin website.

This is not pemmican, this is "pemmican brand" mixture involving
barley, corn and whatnot.

I made my own pemmican once, I know what it. It is dried and then
ground meat, mixed with tallow and perhaps berries and nuts.

It cannot include "barley" and "soy flour", like the "energy mix" on
your last link.

course they were completely unable to interpret the results of their

On the other hand you accepted the search at face value. You read saw
something that looked, to you, like a retailer and assumed they were
actually selling real pemmican. Had you, like I, taken the time to
investigate the links, you would have learned what I learned. You didn't do
that, though, did you? No, you went for the cheap shot. Yeah, I can read ...
I can even follow the links and read THEM (and understand them).

Here's how you replied in another post:

The first link is a page of general information. It includes four links to
three stores. Only one works. That one is not selling pemmican (but
something else). The second link is the same one Ig posted. The third is the
only link that worked in first. Sorry, but you're not much better at
researching than you are at writting.

The standards are not monstrously exacting, but many products are not
pemmican and are named "pemmican". So, real pemmican is hard to find in
google.

Personally, I made pemmican, so I am not "whinging". It is actually
good stuff and the ultimate energy bar. Also quite easy to make. I
still have some beef tallow and might make more. But, truth be told,
garbage products do show up way before real pemmican in google
searches.

the fact that there are more recipes than retailers should tell a
diligent interpreter of search results where his or her best interest
lies.

Well, yes.

All this talk about it makes me want to make some more. If I find
cheap "sandwich steaks" on sale, I will make it.

"Monsterously exacting"? Is that what your friends refer to your diet habits
when you count carbs in front of them? I would think that you would know
better (particularly when you know little or nothing about the product I'm
seeking).

> why don't you get off your lazy a.s and make your own?

Why don't I get off my "lazy a.s"? I guess there's no point waiting for an
apology from the likes of you ... so, just who the hell do you think you
are? Your "helpful" advice ("you don't know how to read, do you?"), your
lack of knowledge as to the nature of pemmican, your pathetic attempted
research efforts in Google (which I'd call an inability to interpret the
results of *your* search) and your insulting remarks say a lot about you.

There are quite a few helpful folks in this forum, quite a few a.ses too.
Until this week I thought you were one of the helpful ones.

How pathetic. Are you saying you don't track your carb intake now? It's
interesting to note you say "people" when I said "friends." I can understand
why, you undoubtably have no friends.

Lazyness, I can assure you, has nothing to do with it. As I pointed out in
my original post, I'm not much of a cook. I'm sure as the "Queen of cans and
jars" you spend a lot of time in the kitchen. I don't. My expertise lies
elsewhere. I also spend a lot of time on the road so I have not invested in
a complete kitchen. That's why I was looking for a retailer. That was the
purpose of my post.

So, let's recap, shall we? I ask if anyone here has information about
someone selling pemmican (a product you know nothing about). You do a Google
search, find things you think are pemmican and post an insulting reply. I
guess first impressions mean nothing to you (antisocial behavior trait).
When pointed out that your search was flawed, instead of trying to
understand how it was flawed (by going back and actually examining the
sites), you posted "proof" that you found retailers. When you were called on
this, instead of acknowledging your error, you went on the offensive. Yup,
you're dealing with some psychological issues, no doubt about it.

I feel sorry for you, spending all your time on line, living a pseudo-life,
unable to interact socially. You insult in order to get attention. You
didn't get a lot of attention when you were I child, I guess, now you're
seeking it here.

i have plenty of friends, and i don't have any trouble finding foods
that fit the way i choose to eat.  i don't "count carbs" in front of
anyone, the same way i don't "count calories" in front of them:  it's
not something i think anyone i'm sharing a meal with needs to know
about.  my food intake, my choice.

Big deal. People who don't care what they eat don't have any problems.

So, you track neither your carb intake nor your calorie intake. This works
for you, huh?

Ahh, big secret is it? You won't share with your "friends" but you'll share
with everyone here. Interesting.

Pfffft! Fooling *you* is easy.

If anyone's been proven lazy in this thread, it's you! You were too lazy to
learn what pemmican is (before claiming to be able to find it). You were
even  too lazy to look at the links you posted! Queen of Cans and Jars? Huh!
More like the Queen of Sloth and Insolence!

Why, don't you? The topic of this thread is "Where can I get pemmican?"

We've already understand that:
1) you don't know what pemmican is
2) you don't know where to buy  pemmican
3) you can use Google cannot understand the results
4) you don't know why I want to buy pemmican
5) you're the Queen of Sloth and Insolence

So what is it you think you're doing when you post? Do you think you're
sending a message to just your good "friends"? <snicker>

Why, did I miss anything beneficial?

i don't care about pemmican.  i've no desire to buy it, or eat it.

but if i wanted it as badly as you seem to, i'd use one of the billion
recipes available and just make my own.

which you seem to be too lazy to do.

Then don't post messages about things you know nothing about!

That's probably too difficult for you.

None of the products on the first page of search results is real
pemmican.

OK,, I just entered the Google search for "Where Can I buy Pemmican? and it
returned 16,900 websites in .08 seconds.  Several of them on the first
couple of pages refer to Neanderthin and Paleolithic diets.  I didn't read
them all.  But when I search for something I scan the listings to find the
ones that I want, I don't ignore the other 16,880 if I don't see it on the
first page!

You did, huh?

"Your search - "Where Can I buy Pemmican?" - did not match any documents."

16,900 hits you say? More likely you searched for BUY PEMMICAN. That
displays 16,900 hits. You see, Peter, if you leave out the quotes, Google
strips out the "Where can I" part.

If you only scanned the listings, you probably didn't notice the fact that
most of the pemmican is actually Pemmican, a brand name. Had you, like I
did, read page after page of links, you would have discovered, as I did,
that most of these pemmicans are not really pemmican at all, but some sort
of flavored jerky, often mixed with other products and <gasp> sugars.

That's why I came to a newsgroup full of helpful (and not so helpful)
people.

Fuckinggoogleit? Yeah, I fuckinggoogled it.

Ray's Pemmican Recipe
http://www.lowcarb.org/pemmican.html

Good luck finding a supplier of "REAL" pemmican.  You've already seen
that several sources of jerky try to present themselves as pemmican.
But it seems difficult to get it across to some folks that pemmicn is
a pounded shredded product NOT strips of tough chewy flesh.  Good luck
in your search but making your own or hooking up with a Neanderthinner
willing to send you a wee sample is probably your best bet.

I've lost contact with most of the folks in the Paleo-Neanderthin
community but these links may help "hook you up", as they say.

Thanks! I've turned up some interesting leads, though. I've learned there
are/were historic re-creation sites that make the stuff for tourists. It's
now a matter of tracking them down and seeing if they still make it. I'm
also going to give a shot at contacting some native reserves to see if
anyone is still practicing the old ways.

How 'bout some pemmican ice cream?   Ought to be great and
filling.  Haven't had such since survival training in the Air Force
about 100 years ago.

Tried it once. The seat folded up, the drink spilled . . .
and that ice, well, it really chilled the mood.
