>>1979285This, and when you get out there and realize "shit I wish i had _____" then remember that. And when you realize you took _______ and never even touched it, remember that too. Within a few one nighters, you'll have taught yourself a few tricks.
One tip i have is that it's extremely easy to make your own jerky in just an oven. Just marinate it overnight and put it in an oven on very low heat (170f/80c) for like 4 hours. Use a rack so the air circulated around it. Simple and cheaper than the store. Good luck!
