Meat Drying - where the rot stops in regards to drying the meat.
Me:
So 1000 grams of raw beef, with a water content of 850 grams per kilogram, could theoretically weigh 150 grams when absolutely dry. At what point or weight of drying meat, does all bacterial activity in or on the meat cease?
( Chat GPT can be an absolute cunt of moronic stupidity at times )
Chat GPT:
( All the bullshit eliminated )
To completely eliminate bacterial activity, the total weight after drying could be closer to around 200 grams or less ( edited ) getting below that water activity level is key for ensuring all bacterial activity ceases.

So you can slice the meat finely and preserve with sugar / salt and or hot / cold smoking / cooking etc., AND then dry it = much better.
It's helpful to know, since we'll probably end up doing these things as well; if meat is available, instead of only bugs. The best part is, as The Bible says: "If you do not work, you shall not eat" (2Thes. 3:10). One's entitlements shall DIE/DEI with them.
