I didn’t set out to start a company.
I just needed food I could trust.

As a pyrotechnician working on tour with major bands, I was always on the move — airports, hotels, late nights, unpredictable catering.
I was strict carnivore at the time and determined to stay that way, no matter how chaotic life got.
That meant finding a fuel that was portable, real, and uncompromising.

The modern food industry didn’t offer it, so I looked backward — to the first survival food.

Born from Necessity

A Return to Simplicity

Pemmican was the original endurance fuel — made from dried meat and rendered fat.

 

It powered voyageurs and Indigenous hunters through the harshest conditions imaginable.

 

That idea hit me hard: if it worked hundreds of years ago, why had we lost it?


I began experimenting in my kitchen, blending beef, fat, and honey in different ratios, refining texture and taste.

 

After dozens of batches, I found the balance — something dense, shelf-stable, and incredibly efficient.

 

I packed a suitcase full of bars and lived off them for four months on tour.

 

I felt stronger, sharper, and never hungry.

From Personal Solution to
Shared Fuel

What started as survival turned into a mission.


Friends began asking for bars. Hunters wanted them for trips.

 

I realized this ancient concept could be brought back — not as nostalgia, but as modern performance nutrition.


Pemmibar was born: the modern evolution of an old idea.

Pure, handcrafted, and built for people who go further.

Crafted in British Columbia

Every bar is made here in British Columbia, Canada —
locally sourced ingredients, small-batch production, no shortcuts.

 

Beef, fat, honey and salt. That’s it.

 

High in calories, high in integrity, and designed to last up to 10 years.

Locally made. No compromise

Rooted in History. Built for Now.

From ancient voyageurs to modern explorers, real fuel has always been simple.

 

Pemmibar carries that legacy forward — made for strength, endurance, and self-reliance.
