I usually just buy Jack links

I know its not the best out there but its everywhere and when you're craving jerky it'll get the job done

>>9151489
Same beef jerky is so expensive to make that the really good stuff that people make small batches of is like $15 a bag to cover expenses

>>9151485
beef jerky is goat as a snack or even as a protein component as a boxed lunch but god dammit is it expensive. I have to portion it very carefully to get my moneys worth, I use these little tupperware cups usually for salad dressings and stuff jerky down into them

I aim for about 5-6 of these premeasured servings per $10 spent on jerky

>>9151485
No joke, the best jerky I ever had was the stuff I made myself.

I got it in my head to make field rations as a snack for my D&D group and went a little nuts - jerky, hard tack, the whole nine yards.

Have you ever tried deer (venison for the posh cu/ck/s)? Way better!

>>9151510
Venison jerky? Not yet. I'd probably be up for it, though.

>>9151505

The biggest problem with making it yourself seems to be the time. I don't always have the hours to sit there and do it

It's awesome, and super cheap if you shhot it yourself? Are you a no gunz poor fag? See pic related!

Buy a food dehydrator from walmart (~$30) if you can afford it, and buy the extended warranty (~$5). That when it shits out you just go back and exchange it. I do this with rabbit because I make rabbit jerky for my dogs, and I have saved at least $1k with this approach.

Yeah I scanned the catalog and could not find the thread, so I just posted a general comment.

Find yourself some proper African "bush" Biltong.

>>9151553
I cannot take credit, as it was a 4chan effort to make.

Oh, I know. I've never seen it regardless.

Single mom households.

Nah, my dad was just never too into it. Sometimes my family would have Slim Jims but those are disgusting and I assumed all jerky tasted like that.

The best readily available jerky in the world

deer jerky is unironically MUCH better

High Country beef jerky out of Lincoln Montana. I love I Helena the capitol of the and i make dang good and sure I drive the 65 miles at least 4 times a year just to get jerky, pemican and fudge that they make right there.

The best jerky I've ever had was homemade by friends and whatnot, I wish I had the equipment and time to make it myself

>>9151485
Nothing beats homemade jerky.

i like the vietnamese one best, it has a happy cow on it and is red, youll find it in asia stores, goes for about 4€ in germany

>>9151505
This, make your own, OP.

You can control exactly what goes into the jerky, and what it will taste like.

why is beef jerky such a rip off? always sold in small packs at high prices, but shouldn't preserved meats be cheaper than fresh?

>>9151519
1776 is 18th century?

Wild Bill's Jerky is the best beef jerky available. Jack Link's is shit tier garbage. Basically opposite ends of the spectrum.

>>9152702
>shouldn't preserved meats be cheaper than fresh?

Here's a great chance to practise rational thinking. Leaving aside the reduction in weight due to water loss think about the labor expended to cure meat. I'm sure a kid like you is capable of analyzing this.

>she finds out you can order biltong from farms in our country

I still remember that smell and taste, it was fucking worth it.

>>9152702
>always sold in small packs at high prices

Because meat is mostly water. When you dehydrate it to make jerky you lose a massive amount of weight. It takes several lbs of raw meat to make only 1 lb of jerky. So of course it's going to be more expensive per unit weight because all the water is gone.

>>9151485
You can get alligator jerky in Florida, pretty tasty senpai.

>>9152731
I've tried and it's ok, but it kinda feels like lame, soggy jerky
also, the smell kinda sucks

>>9151485

I bought a cajun seasoning and brine from cabelas, fucking delicious

>>9151505
That's awesome man; I'm running a campaign and you just inspired me to make dinner for them.

>D&D group
Hahahahahahahahaha

>>9152727
Yeah, that's heavily outweighed by shelf-life in almost any food, should be especially so with something that has a short shelf-life like meat.
And I'm talking per calorie, not by weight.

Anyone have a good homemade jerky recipe?

>>9152707

Actually yes it is, how do you think centuries work?

Chopped and formed is best. Find some local place that does it that way. That may be easy or hard based on location (easy for me, TX).
