How do you think this pemmican would turn out if I dehydrated that burger then threw it in the blender to get it good and diced up?

The only reason I could see your burger not working is the amount of fat. The youtube video I watched was very specific to having a very lean cut of meat.

I’ve seen the recipes with berrys and it looks delicious! I’ve also seen some with peanut butter which could be good too.
Maybe I can trade a buddy some burger for less desirable cuts of steaks

He said, "think of Beef Jerky, that smells and tastes like wet dog. You will only want to eat it in an emergency when there is nothing left to eat. But there was nothing better to have with you if you needed it"
I have tried it, it is nothing I would make out of choice. But it had a purpose in it's day. :tup:

My Grandpa, who was 100% Cherokee, was telling me about Pemmican one day. After he told me his Mom always insisted he always have Pemmican on him for emergencies. I asked him what Pemmican tastes like?Interesting…well I’m gonna have to try it for myself just to be sure! I just want something that I can make myself to pack with me hunting. I’m sick of bars and the majority of them are filled with awful crap that’s not meant for human consumption.

I don't know if it would work on raw meat, but in another group i am in we rinse the meat in boiling water to remove the fat
If I remember correctly, all the parts of Pemmican (Tallow, dried Venison, salmon, dried berries, nuts, etc.) have to be prepared separately. The Meats, nuts, and berries are dried or smoked separately. Then Tallow is added to hold it all together.
Though there are many regional variations of the recipe for Pemmican.

Back in the late 80s, I tried a version of Pemmican at the Suquammish yearly Salmon Potluck. It was smoke salmon based instead of venison or beef, and was almost tolerable. Much more favorable the the venison or beef versions I have tried. Though still nothing I would eat out of choice, unless an emergency.

Have not, yet, figured out how I want to transport it on the trail. Maybe waxpaper inside Ziploc.

Yup. Sounds about right.

Took my first batch on a 5 day backpack trip and just kept it in Ziplock bags. Still delicious.

I tried to make it one time, and my hunting partners called them hockey pucks!
Try the Larabars, they are pretty good , but expensive. I made a version of them for a while, kind of tough on a food processor, think I burned one up, because it is mostly a date/almond paste with other flavorings.
