I raise meat, but in full disclosure, I don’t know how to preserve it except for freezing it!
Every time I loose power, my biggest concern is how to keep my freezers cold to protect the frozen meat.
So I’ve been researching how to preserve meat, ie how to extend the life and utility of meat.
In my quest, I found an ebook, The Carnivore’s Bible.
It caters to the off-grid, homesteader community, so together with details on how to preserve meat, it allso discusses preserving fruits and vegetables, milk, mushrooms, and recipes using the products you’ve preserved!
Benefits of Preserving your meat and other items
You know the quality of the products
You’ll have more nutrient dense food available to you than what you can find in the grocery store
You’re not exposed to the current inflationary prices
You’re not dependent on finding products on grocery store shelves (or not finding it on the shelves).
Your food is not at risk if you have an extended power outage (and no access to a generator).
You’ll be confident there are no preservatives or additives, as you will not have used them!
There’s a huge sense of satisfaction in filling your pantry shelves with food you’ve prepared.
About the author
The author, James Cole, found himself stranded in a cabin during a snowy hike, and was carrying no food on him.
The cabin had a cellar and was filled with tons of preserved products, which sustained him until the cabin’s owner returned.
The author pursuaded the cabin owner to teach him how to preserve over the next few years, together with recipes on how to use the preserved food.
The result is the thick book of techniques and recipes.
“There are hundreds of survival manuals and food prepping books available. But none treats the subject of meat from A to Z. And it’s mind boggling... Because it’s one of the most widely available resources out there...
...Yes, meat is notoriously hard to preserve... But whether it’s pork, beef or chicken, squirrel, rabbit, venison, or bear... prepared the right way, it can last for 7 years.”
If you’re interested in your food and its quality, this book is a must on your bookshelf. Mine already has stains on the pages!
I highly recommend The Carnivore Bible!
