in hot weather. Doing that much requires that you already have your drying racks made, and first, you cut up larger chunks of meat, dip them in some really salty brine first, to keep them from spoiling and being loaded up with fly eggs. Keep the big hunks and smaller strips (as you cut them up) and those on your drying racks, covered with your bug netting. the sun will suffice to dry them adequately to preserve the meat, if you don't dare send up "smoke signals". But it will take a couple of days of full sun, maybe more, and you have to get the meat in out of the nights dampness, too. Then you need a safe, rodent and bug free place to store your jerky,. Metal drums will work, if you are not in "bear country". If you are in bear country, consider putting some of the meat out as bait, and wait in a tree stand for the additional food to show up! ![]() Last edited by swon; 04-02-2014 at 08:30 AM. |

His bear trap is based on extensive experience, he once got one of those bamboo finger cuffs at the carnival. I will grant he should understand big jerks though. |
