The first pouch that came was the seed pouch, which was followed quickly by the tobacco pouch, and then my first attempt at a pemmican pouch which turned out too small to hold much. Then came this guy, which has yes, been used to carry pemmican ^_^
I have to say, I thought the grease would soak through or something, since pemmican is basically held together and preserved by the lard it's mixed with. Nope... gotta say leather is an incredible material. It hasn't soaked through, despite several tests of 'leaving it in there as long as possible', more or less until some pemmican balls dried out entirely. Barely a fleck on the inside of the pouch, and easily scrubbed back to normal. The fat has not stained through, and I am pleased ^_^
My recipe (I dunno, I wanna be tribal or something):
Meat, smashed to dust
Berries, smashed to dust
Lard, mix
Don't worry, I talked to the Ancestors, They're fine with this, if not a little bemused.
So anyways, my pemmican pouch. They are *incredible* little balls of energy, tasty! The flavour of the berries in there, and this dense chewable ball of flavour. It's awesome stuff.
