A Little Crowd Cow for Your Pocket
May 14th by Ryan Binkley • Read 3,060 times • 2 min read
With summer quickly approaching, our time outside starts to increase just like the temperatures. When I'm on the trail, I love a great trail mix. I’m a sucker for sweet-n-salty mixes, but when I need a lightweight protein punch, I always grab a bag of beef jerky to carry with me. I recently started exploring making beef jerky at home when we got a new stove with a dehydrate feature. If you don't have this feature, you can set your oven to low...

That would be my default pick. Why? Simply put, since A4 is slightly less fatty than A5, I can eat more of it....
