How to Preserve Meat in Appalachian Way with no Refrigeration - Biltong 101

Up here in Letcher County, the power can go out for days at a stretch, so I still preserve meat the way my Papaw showed me, without a lick of electric. Today I show you exactly how I do it: slicing meat with the grain instead of against it, a light vinegar wash, a heavy coating of salt and black pepper, then hanging it in a shaded, airy spot for a few days until it dries down safe and keeps for months. I will tell you the real hazards to watch for, where this method falls short, and why the folks selling freezers and monthly service plans never mention that this even works. #appalachia #americanhistory #VintageLife #RetroAmerica #nostalgia #memories #1950s #1960s #1970s #1980s #curedmeat #beefjerky #jerky #biltong
