    Why would it take a year to make?

    You dry meat then pound or blend it into a powder, add equal amount of tallow to the weight of meat powder. Put it into a tray then let it set. Done.

      I guess I was confused and thought it had to age to be proper pemmican.

        If done right and sealed against bacteria then it can last pretty indefinitely. It doesn’t need cooking but can be cooked with whatever you can forage to stretch it out and avoid burnout from eating the same thing repeatedly.
