Pemmican. Nothing beats pemmican for nutritional compactness and shelf
life. It could be your only food. I both make my own and have bought some
from Grasslands Beef. I don't know just how good their shelf life is. They
are required to say keep it frozen. For mine I know I got all the moisture
out, so I've had no problem keeping mine on the shelf for many months.

Mine also has a lot more meat than theirs. Theirs has a high fat content.
Then they add a little honey and salt to theirs, which I can taste. Mine is
plain. Theirs is soft, mine is hard as a rock.
