This is a way to preserve meat without power. It’s very effective. This was handed down to me from an old backwoods Vermonter. You an use this meat by reconstituting in a gravy or soup. Keeps for over 2 years.

Great vid, I guess if the power went out that would also be a good way to preserve the meat in the freezer so it didn’t rot.
Preserved meat, dried fruit and veggies would seem pretty darn good compared to what the people of Haiti are getting right now.
We have no idea when that could be us. But sooner or later every group of people I ever heard of, ends up getting it.

Anyway of drying it without a warm dry place? I really do not have a great place in my home to do so.

Wow thank you, this was just what I was looking for.

Yes. This is an old, old and back in the way back they would just wrap it in cloth or put it in a pot. I would say it would keep for a couple years still. But this way of preserving was used mostly to get the meat through the winter or to preserve a big kill

I would say it’s worth it. You figure that dried beef (jerky) sells for about 13 bucks a lb. If you keep watch on the sales, you can sometimes find roasts for 99 cents a lb. A big savings, plus the peace of mind knowing that you have put away a meat source for your family in case of hard times.

Wow, this is an awesome method of drying meat! I’m going to try this myself.
God Bless.

nice vid. thank you. I have a question though; Can the meat be preserved as it was after the 1 month period without air locking it and for how long?

You do not have to …
You do not have to worry about pests, although I have no mice worries in my house. You will be very surprised that the meat hardly even smells while drying. You do not have to refrigerate the meat at all. If there was no power I would just stick it in a ziplock or canning jar. It will keep along time.

Are pests an issue here? Do you have to keep an eye out for bugs or rodents while hanging the meat to dry? Please help me out with this as I’d like to try this method (successfully). Also, in the event of power loss, how would you store the meat without vacuum bags or refrigeration?

Yes I’d like to tap a shallow well and now would be the best and worst time to do it. In north west Louisiana we’ve had record breaking rain fall. So the pipe would sink eaily but there would be no way of determining where the actual water table is.

Hot attics are fine. You will be surprised how the smell is not an issue. The salt and baking soda prevent the decay.

I don’t have any experience with driven pipe wells, but would love to hear how yo do. Are you thinking of trying to tap a shallow well yourself?
