Gotta go out shoot me an elk or a buffalo right now so I can make me some Pemmican. What do I do with the rest of the beastie after I've taken out the gut? ROFLMAO!! Well that should be obvious Kathleen! If you get a BUffalo, you cook the hump for dinner. The rest of the meat you make jerky out of. You separate the sinews for sewing and beading. The hooves make glue. Smaller bones make needles and awls. As Butch suggested, you brain tan the hide (for robes, moccasin soles, teepee panels, etc.) Teeth make good jewelry, horns can be used for various things including carrying black powder or other things. There are more things to do with the remainder but I think you get the idea. LOLOLOLOL Hugs Neysa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the basic instructions still work... jerky, brain tan, etc... the horns of course wont but there are a lot of things you can do with them also.... Let me know when you get one. Will come help you dress it out. ) Hugs Neysa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When someone mentions huckleberries, they usually mean the red ones which grow on bushes that can get to 10 feet tall. We also have blue huckleberries (referred to as blue huckleberries) that grow on short bushes... about 4 feet tall. Both are yummy. :-) Regina Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Well, I think I'll skip this one --- but my son would probably love it. Now I'm not sure if they're huckleberries or mulberries. We live in SE Michigan so the berries are just beginning to form. The tree is probably 12 ft tall. butch owen wrote: > Hey Jan, > > I took off the OT cause it ain't .. long ago Chris decided that all of > the Great Spirit's wild things were kosher for discussion w/o being > called OT. :-p > > > we have a tree in our yard that produces millions (OK maybe thousands) > > of huckleberries.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 Hey Jan, I took off the OT cause it ain't .. long ago Chris decided that all of the Great Spirit's wild things were kosher for discussion w/o being called OT. :-p > we have a tree in our yard that produces millions (OK maybe thousands) > of huckleberries. I was just looking at them and wondering what I > could do with them other than make jam or jelly. > Suggestions, anyone? TIA I'm sure you might get some more practical suggestions .. but one I reckon they might not think of is to make up a batch of pemmican. First, you gotta get yourself a buffalo gut .. or a elk gut will do if you can't find the buffalo. Then take some dried deer or buffalo meat (jerky) off your drying rack and get a flat stone and a round grinding stone and grind it into a fine powder (the meat, not the stone). Then you grind some dried huckleberries into a fine powder too .. and mix'em in with the dried deer or buffalo meat. Take that mixture and mix it well into some bone marrow and bear fat .. then stuff it all into the buffalo gut (or elk gut) and after its stuffed real good .. you cap it off with some more bear fat and sew the top with the sinew you done peeled out of the buffalo (or elk) skin just afore you started working it with brains to tan it. When you get ready to move from one place to another, or go on a raid or some kinda warpath .. you just take this along and gnaw on it when you get hungry .. makes for a great dry camp. And it has a great shelf life too. Plus .. when times get lean throw a slice of two of it in your cooking paunch .. dump in some hot rocks .. and you have a great soup. Plus .. the Vitamin C in the Huckleberries will keep you from getting all kinds of wierd diseases in them months where you gotta stay indoors. You are welcome. And keep y'all smiling. :-) Butch http://www.AV-AT.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
