>>515945>Going /out/ doesn't have to mean historical re-enactment time.Agreed, but this isn't /out/ time, it's bug/out/ time.
Regardless of it's historical significance Pemmican is compact, shelf-stable, and nutritionally complete when made correctly. It is literally the best survival food. One candy-bar size pice of pemmican is enough to feed an adult for a day. The only downside to pemmican is it's taste, but that depends entirely on your taste preferences.
Besides, Pemmican may have historic significance but that doesn't mean there are more modern ways of making Pemmican or preparing the ingredients. In fact, due to high food standards and advanced culinary technology Pemmican is arguably better for you now than it was back when the native americans were smoking moose jerky.
Just to add a bit of relevance to Pemmican; in the new Flash TV show the Flash has to keep replacing the calories he uses after running at super-speed, so his tech engineer Cisco makes him these super-energy bars that look very similar to Pemmican bars. Fans on /co/ were even speculating that Cisco gave Barry Pemmican.
Hardtack is shit. It's calorie dense but lacks other essential vitamins, minerals, and essential fats. It also needs to be wet in order to eat it without breaking your goddamn jawbone. Fuck hardtack for SHTF.
