The fat is actually a problem here, it goes rancid. If you want this stuff to last longer than 6months to a year you'll probably want to can it (https://www.homesteadingtoday.com/threads/long-term-lard-storage.500127/) or look into old timey storage methods.

Regular jerky will actually keep better because it has less fat, and all you gotta do is keep it dry, but it's more expensive and less caloric than pemmmican.

There are numerous ways to preserve fat. The plain original variations of pemmican address these issues. However most modern recipes are more about the flavour and the prestige of being able to make it.
