Yes, I made pemmican. I couldn't get my kid to try it so I sat in front of him and ate several balls of it. Couple days later I got severe pain left side of abdomen. I went to 3 different doctors but got nowhere. Pain got worse. I went to the vetinerian. I figured his patients couldn't tell him what is wrong. I just pointed and said I hurt here. He said go get some olive oil and raisins & eat raisins and take some olive oil. Soon there was a huge blowout that went on all afternoon. That pemmican had set up in the guts like a rock. Thank the good Lord for Vets. My advice to you. Make pemmican. It's not that tasty, don't eat much at the time. Keep the Olive oil & raisins handy. You'll need your stock of toilet paper too.Has anyone tried pemmican or hardtack type things?
