+1 to Celard's idea to make meat available from brahmin (maybe with 'Butcher" Support Perk?), and
+1 to Celard's idea being able to convert meat to jerk ourselves (but how?), and
+1 to Celard's idea to make meat jerky consumable food.
Thanks, Celard. How to smoke meat jerky could maybe be done with the stoves we see in bases and elsewhere, but such a thing is normally done with a smokehouse so not sure about this, but good alternate ideas anyway.
