Pemmican Making Workshop

Service Description

Pemmican isn't just a survival food; it's a testament to the resilience of ancient communities and the lasting significance of traditional wisdom. Selected as a pivotal item during my experience on Alone, Season 9, I relied on this potent blend of lean meat, fat, and berries to keep me nourished, even with just one small bite daily. Containing a comprehensive array of vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals, it's no wonder pemmican has stood the test of time.
