They said pulling a sled he burns 10k calories a day.
He uses 1/4 lb of bacon cooked on low until the fat renders but keeps the bacon soft.
Let it cool a little and put it in a blender with 1/2c of dried cranberrries, 1/4 cup o sesame seeds and 1tbsp of brown sugar.
He purees it in the blender and then pours on a cookie sheet and freezes it.
After frozen he cuts it into bars or cubes that can be eaten on the trail or added to other food like oatmeal.
Any word on the shelf stability of this method?
I'm looking for long term storage. Taste is of secondary importance. I've read that properly made, pemmican will give Twinkies a run for their money in longevity.
