Title: Beef Jerky
Post by mastertangler on Feb 27th, 2015 at 8:34pm
Probably going on 15 years ago I hiked the Wonderland trail around Mt Rainier. I was befriended by a Scout Troop and the Scoutmaster who was, shall we say, not your typical scout leader (more of a "biker dude"). Anyway.......we are taking a break and one of the Scouts opens a plastic bag and hands me a piece of Jerky. Truth be told, the dang stuff looked like shoe leather but I didn't want to offend so I took a piece. It was amazing and incredible.

I bumped into them 3 times on the 100 mile trail as they were doing trail work. The last time the Scout leader (we had several evening chats and had become friends) and I met he handed me the last of their Jerky and told me the name......"Stewarts"........he had driven an hour to get it. I was determined to make the stuff last but within several hours it was gone........simply put it is amazing.

Been hanging out on NWhiker forum in preparation for a backpacking trip and someone posted the link to Stewarts......I'm sure that was the name of the place now that I read it again. Anyways, thought I would share it. Check it out, good stuff!

Nice site.  I might have to try some of their wares. 

Since I lost my deer hunting hunting ground when my brother sold his farm, I haven't been able to use my venison jerky recipe.

Jerky and sausage are always part of our trips.

You have to love good jerky! If you like Venison jerky Puckster this might be your ticket?

I like the Hunter Sausage more for its versatility on trips, but IF their Jerky is anything like the sausage, you can't go wrong.

Big plus is the have WILD game jerky varieties.

Maybe that could be a little continuing feature in the What's Cooking section as a way to get more people posting?

Just everyone's has a favorite homemade jerk recipe.

I have a bunch as well. Now I have to find them. ;D

We do have a recipes section. All recipes should be posted in 'recipes'. :dankk2

I'll keep that in mind when the time comes.
I forgot ALL about that section, and I'll bet others and most newbies have too or don't know it’s there at all. Like the PCD issue, it’s something that’s often overlooked unless someone makes a gaff like I did. :-[

Thats exactly correct ST. I haven't glanced in recipe for quite a few years and have forgotten its existence. Perhaps "fast and loose" might be the best way to play in this instance?
