Pemmican

[Scythe13]

Never made it, but from what I can tell, it does seem pretty good. Having said that, it also seems to be VERY calorie heavy, which isn't really going to be much use when travelling long distances in a short space of time. For a week of travel, I think it would be stunning. Arctic or mountain use....ideal. For use where you need 10'000 calories a day it would be perfect. However, if you need only 3000-4000 calories, then I'd much rather opt for a mix with more carbs in it. Something like flapjacks or trail mix style.

I make VERY high protein flapjacks, and add a few things, like cinnamon, green tea extract, and a bit more, to stop an insulin spike and thus allowing a nice slow release of fuel for my body. That is what I have packed for my GHB....that and a load of chocolate. But the choc is only really for night travel or when I'm feeling really tired. The chocolate will give a boost, but will only kick start energy levels until the flapjacks take effect.

If snowboarding, and maybe for this winter, I'll probably make up some Pemmican, and see what it's like.
