Slice venison very thin, trimming off all fat to ensure it dries completely.

Air dry the sliced venison in warm, sunny conditions with low humidity, or use a primitive smoker if necessary.

Grind the dried venison into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle.

Cut bison tallow into small cubes for rendering.

Add a small amount of water to the tallow in a pot to help render it without burning.

Simmer the tallow over a fire, adding water as needed until the fat separates from the membrane.

Dry the berries by breaking their skin and laying them in the sun for about 10 days, or use a Dutch oven to heat them slowly over a fire to remove moisture.

Once the berries are dry, combine the powdered venison, rendered tallow, and dried berries in a container.

Add salt to taste, mixing well to saturate all ingredients with fat.

Pack the mixture into a rawhide envelope, folding and tying it securely.
