The venison is what the guys are supposed to bring home from their
hunting trip. I'm going to make some jerky with some of the venison
providing they are lucky enough to catch a deer or two.

Properly dehydrated jerky is not hard. It is about the texture of
leather. It should be pliable - that is you can bend it and it won't
snap. Think of what happens if you bend a leather belt. It flexes but
it doesn't form a sharp bend and it doesn't snap. That's what jerky
should be like.

Jerky in some form is likely available world wide. I would imagine
people have been making jerky ever since they discovered meat. Native
Americans & Canadian made dried meats especially buffalo and fish.
Jerky may not be popular commercially where you live but I'll bet some
make it at home.
