The modern day pemmican is a little more protein, than it used to be and the ancient Picts ( according to roman military accounts) ate a fat and dried meat in a pouch, eat about 1 oz as a survival food, and they could track through the sub artic highlands of Scotland for weeks on lichen and this fat.
I wonder if my second favorite proffessional sports compition, strong man competition ever considered pemmican? Your basic nutrition but most of your calories are fat and it is a non stop Keto burn...The Picts held off the Romans for centuries on mostly Pemmican.
Pemmican is a calorie-rich, nutrient-dense survival food from North American Indigenous traditions, made from dried, pounded meat mixed with rendered fat (like suet) and sometimes dried berries (like saskatoon or cranberries) for flavor and nutrients. This high-protein mixture was crucial for voyageurs and explorers, offering long-lasting energy, and can be eaten raw or added to stews, with a shelf life of decades, essentially being the original power bar.
