For Native Americans, pemmican was an essential and most effective way to preserve meat for winter months. During the cold months traveling for Indians was most of the time impossible and they did it only if it was necessary. During such voyages in winter, they just eat raw pemmican just like you did but in the comfort of winter camp, they preferred to make hot dishes out of it. The most popular was a kind of hot stew, pemmican boiled with water with some available vegetables, like wild onions and anything they could find. I have tried it and is quite good with lot of onions and some potatoes and of course some spices. If you boil for long enough it will thicken or if you do not want to cook for too long you can just add a little bit of flour. Also it can be fried with onions and potatoes and is also good.
"Eric doesn't disappoint in the meat department"; coming from your wife and cooking partner that's a huge compliment! Love you guys! (Good job not cracking up at that moment... :D )
Eric , you are becoming the Heston Blumenthal of Alaskan cooking . You Sir have some talent . Keep it up brother . Thankyou for sharing your thoughts and experiences . Wonderful program.
Pemmican is something I've been wanting to try.. I'm a yakama native from wa state.. My family and I do a lot of hunting, fishing and all that fun stuff.. you guys spirits lift mine up.. thank you
As always love your videos. Hope you are safe and sound from the flooding up there. Definitely need more tallow in the pemmican cause it's not supposed to crumble. My Ancestors survived off of it with dried berries and pumpkin in it. Delicious eaten straight or made in to a soup. Take care and have a blessed day. ❤️🍀 Blessings, Teresa
Wow, pemmican is interesting. You probably could have just put it all back in the blender and added more salt, tallow, and honey, and then reshaped it. It seems pretty easy to work with. I am glad you showed how you store it. Thanks for another great video you two.
It’s not really supposed to taste good. It’s original intent by the NAamerican was a pure survival food. Fast protein and fat on the go. It’s not really something you wanna eat during a normal day.
Not coming from the US, I’ve always wondered how jerky was made, thank you for explaining the process so well. Where I live, in South Africa we also produce something similar by spicing and air drying meat, usually beef or game meat. It is also delicious.
Awesome recipe with the pemmican. Always wanted to give that a try. You guys make me happy with your description of it..."like beef jerky chewed up in your mouth" and "it's like the stuff on the bottom of a pan". I really want to make it now. It looks so GOOD!!
I love when Spring arrives and the two of you can start planting. You have a lot of work ahead of you. But I am truly amazed by all that the two of you accomplish.
"Eric never disappoints in the meat dept" YES my mind went there!!! LOL the Pemmican looked amazing & i could almost smell the jerky smoking!!! thanks for sharing & be safe
I used to live in Mexico and learned how to make dried meat, jerky and as for pemmican my dad used to make it for hunting as a soup or as is. He used to season his pemmican with garlic and oregano, he made sweet and spicy slices and he used whatever fruit he had on hand. As for me I used the dried and jerky meat for meals, I would used either in a cooked salsa and once the meat plumps up shred it and eat with tortillas (corn or flour), rolls, on rice, in beans it works with everything! Enjoy and until next time, much love to you both.
Did you ever have the dehydrated meat called Machaca? I think that's what it's called. It looks like hair, but when you eat it, it turns back into shredded meat. It's pretty good.
I had never heard of pemmican until watching Jim & Ted Baird. It was nice to see how you make it & preserve it. The jerky looked good. Interesting. Thank you for sharing
Missed this episode before and finally watched it tonight with the pup and a nice fire going. I’m a huge frontier and cowboy cooking hobbyist so I love to see everyone’s pemmican recipe. Such an amazing staple and that clearly settled the west and alaska. Nice simple smoker! Clearly you are the “The Master Jerker”. Carry on!!
Oatmeal with sausage or beef crumbled in is my favorite morning meal; savory rather than sweet and great for pre-workout. Good job on all the work to store up some jerky and pemmican!
When I was a young kid during WWII all the men in my family worked at the local shipyard and I remember them bringing me merchant ship lifeboat survival rations. The 2 things I remember most from the ration tins are the “fishing kits”, rolls of malted milk tablets and small tins of pemmican. I don’t remember all the ingredients in the pemmican but do recall nuts, raisins and meat. But am sure there were others I don’t recall. However, I would expect oatmeal and sugar in some form would add greatly to bulk, palatability and energy. Nice video!😊
The way I was taught to make pemmican was to use *much* more fat, and to form it into little patties about the size of a silver dollar before it sets. Also, we pounded our meat to break up the fibers instead of using a blender (interesting idea, I wonder how it affected the texture)
Thank you so much for sharing how you made pemmican. My husband and I are following a low-carb/Carnivore diet to ameliorate/reverse metabolic diseases in our retirement. This is a perfect “road food” option for us as we also want to live more frugally, too. Your channel provides a wealth of information.
Damn Eric your moose jerky looks amazing! My grandma would make pemmican with venison and some organ meat along with the tallow and berries. It's funny to see Eric try not to laugh too much when Arielle said "Eric never disappoints in the meat department", LMAO!! Great video!!
Now that you say that, I wonder how Indians would weigh food. I guess they would simply put fat in one hand and meat in the other hand, until they weighed the same.
Fantastic vid once again. Thanks. Still hoping to see Eric put some hinges on the top so he can flip it up and lean OVER, not lean INTO the smoker, to tend to the meat.
The two of make this life style so interesting and doable for anyone that is willing to put it in the work. A life that appears the two of you were born to live. Thank you so much for sharing these details about your life and this awesome adventure. Amazing!🤩
Thank you for the recipes and tutorials. People have asked me before, when I have taken a dish, "How did you slice so fine, thin, nicely?" Answer is "A SHARP KNIFE!" God Bless and stay safe.
I should learn to watch your videos after I have eaten. Now I am hungry. I wish UA-cam had smell chanels because I wanted to smell that jerky smoking so badly. Nice to hear that Eric never disappoints in the meat department. Both my husband and I have now experienced nose douching with scotch when that comment came out. Lol. You two are hilarious. Great video.
I love seeing all the interesting things you two find to do or try - I remember reading about pemmican in the Swiss Family Robinson, and what you made looked so much better than what was described! lol I also love that food you put by months ago gets to come out for new recipes and techniques in cooking :)
I was looking so forward in seeing this video! My husband sat and watched it with me! I know this was tremendous work but oh how wonderful to have so much canned salmon! I love your channel. Ty for sharing!
It's been over 35 years since I've had Moose Meat. The Moose Jerky looks great! I've never had pemmican before. I'm sure I'd like if I had the chance to try it! Thanks for another interesting video.
no matter what I'm doing when I get your notification I JUST HAVE TO STOP AN SIT DOWN 😂 cause I can't wait an don't want to miss a second of the video 😂 always makes my day!!! all though I'm old enough to be your grandma I think to myself WHAT'S MY ALASKAN KIDDO'S UP TO TODAY😂😂you two are an array of sunshine on a cloudy day.. BLESSINGS 💖
Yes, several of us are older enough to be their grandparents. I find their videos so adventuresome & knowledgeable. My fav is Ariel gardening. She has so many obstacles, but that woman can grow anything.
Awesome video guys, always love to see a good cooking video. I thought I had heard of just about every food until today, powdered jerky and blueberries and fat? Sounds good to me. Sorry I’ve been a little silent, taking care of business. Thanks for sharing the video with us, Jimmy Nice shirt Arielle
Always love the new tried things. So wonderful that you always use up all your food getting ready for the next load. I would love to try moose jerky. I am a spice lover as well. The Flavors you used yum. You inspired me to try making cowboy candy and have done for two years now and well its my husbands most favorite of everything I can. hugs
I've been making jerky for 15+ years, and have never tempted to try Pemmican. I do have several jars of Bear Tallow that I have had for several years now. Might be a good use to put it in some Pemmican.
Hadn't heard of pemmican until now. I love jerky so will sample it someday somewhere. (I always get hungry watching your cooking videos so I'm going to go make eggroll in a bowl.) Thanks, and have a great weekend.
I made pemmican a few months ago for the first time. Didn't have my smoker set up so had to dry venison in the oven. I did almost exactly like you with wild blueberries buy used beef for tallow and I did add honey. Most people won't get it but I couldn't stop eating it, was super good. Thanks for all your awesome videos.👍
Great camera angle at 1:56min. Well done Arielle.😊😍 And I need to try your cowboy candied marinade. Love your channel, love watching your adventures my fav adventure is when you go to the cabin.😕💚
Your life style is enviable. It is so interesting to see how the other side of the world does things. You both look so glowingly healthy! I will get to Alaska someday! Love from Australia❤️🥶
Can’t wait to watch you guys harvest spruce tips and I can’t wait to harvest them also. Great video been checking in on your channel waiting for a new video thank you so much for sharing with us
I think the Townsends use pemmican mixed in with their recipes, like you said in oatmeal, or in cornmeal and soups. (as part of a meal, not just snacks)
They did! If I remember correctly, they used some of it to make a ragout, sort of a pan-fried hash, to which they added vegetables, seasonings, and broken up bits of ship's biscuit / hardtack for carbs.
These past days have been a sequence of trying Health problems, running to oculist doctor and dentist. Seeing you two, Bow and Bandit and hearing a rooster crowing has been a joy! As you know I love you two, your videos, films and music you select… now I’m relieved, I can keep watching your videos which I always look forward for new ones… Sorry, this food you have so laboriously prepared doesn’t appeal to me. However I admire the heritage of our American India’s, they knew how to survive winters. Love ya both and all you accomplish there in “my Alaska”😘❤️🙏
This guy knows what's up. This is life. Living in beautiful Alaska and enjoying moose meat and this jerky looks perfect. I love it. This is the life I dream of. Leave vancover this day race is not what I call living. Exsistance pay to pay sucks. I would rather survive season to season up north like this. This is freedom up there. Thank you for sharing your life and your Alaska tips and know how .
Looks delicious - Smloking Moose Jerky & Pemmican!!!! My favorite method of maintaining a sustainable pantry and stockpiling items long term for the whole family and the family dog is what I consider to be the most practical, utilizing every type of food storage methods and technology available, both old and new. . Except for the fruits and vegetables that get canned, I keep perishable items like meat, poultry, fish, fruit, vegetables and dairy products in the refrigerator on a short term basis until I'm ready to use them for a big family meal - and for even longer term sustainable storage, two large separate freezers - one labeled DOMESTIC and the other INTERNATIONAL , which can each store a half side of beef with plenty of room left over for homemade ice cream etc. Right now I've got a side and a half of domestic Black Angus in DOMESTIC - bought on the hoof at the State Fair last summer,. There's a half side of Wagyu Kobe I had imported from Japan in INTERNATIONAL. and some kippers I brought home from my last trip to the UK> I'm considering upgrading to a walk-in freezer at some point.in the near future which will hold it all - , if my plans to open a bed and breakfast come to fruition. Sometimes, however a nice round of cheese can do well for quite awhile on a pantry shelf at room temperature without refrigeration - and doesn't mind even if it has to stand there alone.😁 Store bought canned goods get shelves.in the large pantry closet - several for canned meat like corned beef hash, spam and sandwich spread and another for canned vegetables Bread, rolls, grains, homemade pasta, cereals and the like are stored in special humidity controlled bins I order from Amazon Prime - which usually get delivered to my doorstep about an hour after I order them. . Stuff from the family garden and orchard, like onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cauliflower, cucumber, pumpkins, carrots, corn celery,, potatoes and yams, cherries, blueberries and strawberries get canned in Mason Jars and stored in the cool, root cellar of this wonderful rambling former farmhouse (circa 1867) I share with my extended blended family and several rambunctious dogs raised on table scraps from the some of the finest food from a plethora of sources both commercial and home based. . There's even a special separate "summer kitchen" which I converted to store butter and ice cream churns, pots, pans, utensils, extra storage containers, foil, bags, cutlery, and other meal related accoutrement. Out back in the woods, just beyond the big pile of wood I maintain all year, (for use in an antique woodstove I keep on hand, in case the power goes out) there's even an old rusting vintage still where my great grandfather made some of the finest corn whiskey for miles. Next to it is the rusting hulk of the Ford Model A he used to transport that powerful hootch by the light of the moon on soft summer nights to his eager customers in a tri-county area. Further into this verdant forest of mostly sycamore, oak, pine and scrub, runs a cool stream into which I occasionally cast a rod or net to catch some Brook Trout, Bluntnose Shiners, or whatever takes the bait (just earthworms for the most part). And yes, hunting season means wild turkey, deer, and even an occasional wild boar. Next week, I'm planning on filing for a permit to 3-D print a smokehouse in order to be able to create gourmet artisan handcrafted, beef, bacon, turkey, and beef stick jerky, which interested local merchants can private label for other people to share with their families and their family dogs. Unfortunately, i had to break the bad news to my free range hens today that due to expected egg shortages regretfully numbered are their days of laying a couple of eggs and then basically taking the rest of the day off with ranging privileges' within the parameters of a few very nice rural acres - parts of which are rich with fat grubworms. There's even a short dirt road between the main barn and the farmhouse which they're free to cross to get to the other side as often as they'd like. My rooster Ben overheard me and he ain't too happy either, knowing full well that due to oncoming egg shortages, he'll be "workin' overtime to make sure there's plenty of eggs for me an the family. 😊😊 Commented on Making a Delicious Homegrown Soup From
Hi guys! Love your channel. You can try making biltong which is a varient of jerky hailing from South Africa. Bet you will love it! Uses a mixture of vinegar and coriander and other spices.
Love jerky… sadly I can’t make my own right now but I do plan to hopefully start making some in the future…also I’ve never tried moose meat before… looks so good 😊👍
I'm looking at 70 now, when I was much younger you could buy pemmican from Herter's catalog . It was a great outdoorsman and what now be considered a off grid supply much like Sear's for everyday life.
Great job on the jerky Eric! I have to say that I'm surprised that you haven't made a slide for your smoking tray so that you're able to pull out the tray and season and sauce the meat without having to duck under. I think you could benefit from it. Louisiana BBQ man. 😃
Hilarious to see Eric containing himself when Ariel says "Eric never disappoints in the meat department". Great sense of humour guys.
I came here to make the same comment. Lol. He’ll probably be using that line for a while. 😂
I was laughing to myself about that one, too. 😂😂😂
@@john.c yes I don't think Ariel intended on that but Eric's held back laugh is what made it more funny
Heh
Naughty and so cute. Love it.
For Native Americans, pemmican was an essential and most effective way to preserve meat for winter months.

Very interesting! Altho my kids are card carrying Indians, they did not grow up on the Rez.
This was so interesting learning something new. From the other side of the world New Zealand. Thank you
Very cool
Thanks, that was very interesting. I love learning about the cultures of past and present.
Very interesting to learn that 👍 I have heard of pemmican before , but never seen how it was made !
"Eric doesn't disappoint in the meat department"; coming from your wife and cooking partner that's a huge compliment! Love you guys! (Good job not cracking up at that moment... :D )
I've had a horrible day (bills and a kitchen accident!) and seeing you guys is just what i needed! xx
I hope the rest of your day and evening go much better
Eric , you are becoming the Heston Blumenthal of Alaskan cooking . You Sir have some talent . Keep it up brother . Thankyou for sharing your thoughts and experiences . Wonderful program.
Are you from SoCal?

Pemmican is something I've been wanting to try.. I'm a yakama native from wa state..
My family and I do a lot of hunting, fishing and all that fun stuff.. you guys spirits lift mine up.. thank you
I love your smoker. It is the perfect example of making the most out of what you already have.
I love how adventurous y'all are when it comes to your food. I find it quite interesting and informative.
As always love your videos. Hope you are safe and sound from the flooding up there. Definitely need more tallow in the pemmican cause it's not supposed to crumble. My Ancestors survived off of it with dried berries and pumpkin in it. Delicious eaten straight or made in to a soup. Take care and have a blessed day. ❤️🍀
Blessings,

Wow, pemmican is interesting. You probably could have just put it all back in the blender and added more salt, tallow, and honey, and then reshaped it. It seems pretty easy to work with. I am glad you showed how you store it. Thanks for another great video you two.
I was thinking the same. At least take a bag and try and add some more flavor and remove the crumbliness of the current creation.
I was also thinking adding a sweetener in there of some sort, like honey or that cowboy candy syrup sounds like it would be good.
It’s not really supposed to taste good. It’s original intent by the NAamerican was a pure survival food. Fast protein and fat on the go.
It’s not really something you wanna eat during a normal day.
I sincerely thank you guys for your videos. They are a pleasure to watch.
And thank you for watching :)

You guys should seriously consider making a cookbook! With canning, preserving, wild foraging and baking 😋😄
YES!!! And a calendar! I would buy both!
Awesome recipe with the pemmican. Always wanted to give that a try. You guys make me happy with your description of it..."like beef jerky chewed up in your mouth" and "it's like the stuff on the bottom of a pan". I really want to make it now. It looks so GOOD!!
I love when Spring arrives and the two of you can start planting. You have a lot of work ahead of you. But I am truly amazed by all that the two of you accomplish.

The "Maestro" at work! Wow! Just great. So cool to see the details of this process. Thank you.
I love the idea of home made jerky. I call the "mop" more elegant term - applicator, hehe. Awesome film.
The way I was taught to make pemmican was to use *much* more fat, and to form it into little patties about the size of a silver dollar before it sets. Also, we pounded our meat to break up the fibers instead of using a blender (interesting idea, I wonder how it affected the texture)

I caught that as well! 🤣
That was funny.
Pemmican goes all the way back to native heritage. The fat to meat & berry ratio is 1:1 by weight, rather than volume.
That makes sense
Now that you say that, I wonder how Indians would weigh food. I guess they would simply put fat in one hand and meat in the other hand, until they weighed the same.
Fantastic vid once again. Thanks. Still hoping to see Eric put some hinges on the top so he can flip it up and lean OVER, not lean INTO the smoker, to tend to the meat.
I am appreciative of all the new and unique recipes you make to share. Another awesome video- and super cute tie dye shirt Ariel!
I believe that Eric’s sister does the Tie dyed shirts, they’re one of Eric’s favorite shirts, he shared

My grandfather made something similar to this in Poland , but he used teaspoons to form small bites instead of loaf pan
Ah, yes... meat bon bons.
Wonderful material as usual. I cannot wait for your garden episodes.

I think the Townsends use pemmican mixed in with their recipes, like you said in oatmeal, or in cornmeal and soups. (as part of a meal, not just snacks)
They did! If I remember correctly, they used some of it to make a ragout, sort of a pan-fried hash, to which they added vegetables, seasonings, and broken up bits of ship's biscuit / hardtack for carbs.
These past days have been a sequence of trying Health problems, running to oculist doctor and dentist. Seeing you two, Bow and Bandit and hearing a rooster crowing has been a joy! As you know I love you two, your videos, films and music you select… now I’m relieved, I can keep watching your videos which I always look forward for new ones…
Sorry, this food you have so laboriously prepared doesn’t appeal to me. However I admire the heritage of our American India’s, they knew how to survive winters.
Love ya both and all you accomplish there in “my Alaska”😘❤️🙏
This guy knows what's up. This is life. Living in beautiful Alaska and enjoying moose meat and this jerky looks perfect. I love it. This is the life I dream of. Leave vancover this day race is not what I call living. Exsistance pay to pay sucks. I would rather survive season to season up north like this. This is freedom up there. Thank you for sharing your life and your Alaska tips and know how .
Very educational. Love your videos. Greetings from Texas.
Love your Vlogs! Thank You for making them and showing them to us! I know it's a lot of work. It is appreciated.
Looks delicious - Smloking Moose Jerky & Pemmican!!!! My favorite method of maintaining a sustainable pantry and stockpiling items long term for the whole family and the family dog is what I consider to be the most practical, utilizing every type of food storage methods and technology available, both old and new. . Except for the fruits and vegetables that get canned, I keep perishable items like meat, poultry, fish, fruit, vegetables and dairy products in the refrigerator on a short term basis until I'm ready to use them for a big family meal - and for even longer term sustainable storage, two large separate freezers - one labeled DOMESTIC and the other INTERNATIONAL , which can each store a half side of beef with plenty of room left over for homemade ice cream etc. Right now I've got a side and a half of domestic Black Angus in DOMESTIC - bought on the hoof at the State Fair last summer,. There's a half side of Wagyu Kobe I had imported from Japan in INTERNATIONAL. and some kippers I brought home from my last trip to the UK> I'm considering upgrading to a walk-in freezer at some point.in the near future which will hold it all - , if my plans to open a bed and breakfast come to fruition. Sometimes, however a nice round of cheese can do well for quite awhile on a pantry shelf at room temperature without refrigeration - and doesn't mind even if it has to stand there alone.😁 Store bought canned goods get shelves.in the large pantry closet - several for canned meat like corned beef hash, spam and sandwich spread and another for canned vegetables Bread, rolls, grains, homemade pasta, cereals and the like are stored in special humidity controlled bins I order from Amazon Prime - which usually get delivered to my doorstep about an hour after I order them. . Stuff from the family garden and orchard, like onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cauliflower, cucumber, pumpkins, carrots, corn celery,, potatoes and yams, cherries, blueberries and strawberries get canned in Mason Jars and stored in the cool, root cellar of this wonderful rambling former farmhouse (circa 1867) I share with my extended blended family and several rambunctious dogs raised on table scraps from the some of the finest food from a plethora of sources both commercial and home based. . There's even a special separate "summer kitchen" which I converted to store butter and ice cream churns, pots, pans, utensils, extra storage containers, foil, bags, cutlery, and other meal related accoutrement. Out back in the woods, just beyond the big pile of wood I maintain all year, (for use in an antique woodstove I keep on hand, in case the power goes out) there's even an old rusting vintage still where my great grandfather made some of the finest corn whiskey for miles. Next to it is the rusting hulk of the Ford Model A he used to transport that powerful hootch by the light of the moon on soft summer nights to his eager customers in a tri-county area. Further into this verdant forest of mostly sycamore, oak, pine and scrub, runs a cool stream into which I occasionally cast a rod or net to catch some Brook Trout, Bluntnose Shiners, or whatever takes the bait (just earthworms for the most part). And yes, hunting season means wild turkey, deer, and even an occasional wild boar. Next week, I'm planning on filing for a permit to 3-D print a smokehouse in order to be able to create gourmet artisan handcrafted, beef, bacon, turkey, and beef stick jerky, which interested local merchants can private label for other people to share with their families and their family dogs. Unfortunately, i had to break the bad news to my free range hens today that due to expected egg shortages regretfully numbered are their days of laying a couple of eggs and then basically taking the rest of the day off with ranging privileges' within the parameters of a few very nice rural acres - parts of which are rich with fat grubworms. There's even a short dirt road between the main barn and the farmhouse which they're free to cross to get to the other side as often as they'd like. My rooster Ben overheard me and he ain't too happy either, knowing full well that due to oncoming egg shortages, he'll be "workin' overtime to make sure there's plenty of eggs for me an the family. 😊😊

I was so happy for a nice relaxing 23 minute video. Next thing I knew I was already at 23 minutes 😭
“Eric does not disappoint in the meat department!” I couldn’t help but smile, I have such a rude mind! 😂❤
Hi guys! Love your channel. You can try making biltong which is a varient of jerky hailing from South Africa. Bet you will love it! Uses a mixture of vinegar and coriander and other spices.

Very cool, you two rock! Always have so much fun and knowledge to share 👌🦋
I am totally salivating thinking about that jerky.
Love jerky… sadly I can’t make my own right now but I do plan to hopefully start making some in the future…also I’ve never tried moose meat before… looks so good 😊👍
I'm looking at 70 now, when I was much younger you could buy pemmican from Herter's catalog . It was a great outdoorsman and what now be considered a off grid supply much like Sear's for everyday life.
Herters sold everything for outdoors think I might still have some catalogs.
Great job on the jerky Eric! I have to say that I'm surprised that you haven't made a slide for your smoking tray so that you're able to pull out the tray and season and sauce the meat without having to duck under. I think you could benefit from it. Louisiana BBQ man. 😃
I wondered why he was ducking under.
@@joebacarella2829 I was drooling over that sweet and spicy jerky though! 🤤
