Time consuming to make it makes for a higher price. When we get deer butchered jerky is about the most expensive thing you can get made out of it.

Build a smoker and make you're own if you're so worried about the price. That way you can smoke fish too.

it's costly to make man.

you have to get the meat, butcher it, smoke it, and then jerk the shit out of it for hours until it gets the right texture. why do you think they call it jerky?

it costs a lot to have burly old dudes sit around and jerk the meat for hours until it's ready for consumption, everybody knows that

Were men, that means a few things; We shit with the door open, we go on river boat gambling trips, make our own beef jerky.

Oberto is just a huge troll. Not only is he raising your blood pressure with his product he is draining your wallet.

If you ever make it to Africa, make sure to buy massive amounts of Biltong. It is like jerky, but so much better. Sadly it cannot be brought back to the states. I definitely supported the local economy a bit with my biltong habit while there.

last weekend me and my dad jerked meat all day. we jerked with soy sauce, vinegar and liquid smoke. he said my meat was a little flakey so he jerked it for me the next round and it came out waaay better. i think everybody should only have their meat jerked by an experienced jerker
