Years ago when I use to spend endless hours out in the field & bush, I use to take pemmican with me during the cold months. It's a great source of protein which in turn helped me keep going.
For those of you who don't know what pemmican is, it's ground dry meat (jerky) with a few things added to it.
Before I'd leave on an adventure, I'd grind up the dried meat (almost into a powder) and add crushed nuts, maybe some raisins, and a bit of oats. After I got this dry mixture together, I'd add some liquefied bacon grease (not hot but not too cold) to it until it became almost like a very thick paste and work it into a ball. It doesn't take a lot of grease to accomplish this.
Afterwards, I'd let the mixture firm up and then wrap it in cheese cloth. I did this so it would be able to breath. If not, it could become rancid as any jerky can do if not left to breath and collect moisture.
