Discover the secrets of making jerky and learn how to preserve meat in the wilderness, a survival skill that could save your life. This video reveals the best techniques for making delicious and nutritious jerky, so you're always prepared for any adventure. Knowing how to preserve meat is one of the most important survival skills to know. In dry weather it can be as simple as slicing lean meat thin and hanging it out in the sun and wind. But in cool damp conditions you may need to build a primitive smoker to smoke and dry the meat for long term storage. This video shows both techniques and results in a shelf stable meat that will last for months, or in some cases, years, without refrigeration.
