I have been starting the process of canning food and trying to be intelligent in general about not being reliant on my grocery store in case SHTF here. Anybody have ideas on how to better expand that?

Ultimate survival food - Pemmican
The early exploration of this continent depended on Pemmican. It was the go-to meal for trappers, and all manner of explorers and indians while on the road. Prepared properly it will last for years. I read somewhere that pemmican 100 years old was found and still in perfect condition. It can be sunk to the bottom of a river, and will not be compromised.
I've never made it but I understand it to be made by taking lean strips of beef, *cow, buffalo, deer, bear, moose etc" cooking until all moisture is out of meat, power it up, then add tallow, or lard. Mix it to form a inch or so think sheet, and cut into square cakes. Wrap in something, does not have to be airtight.
