I have to admit
The boys comment on adding some jerky to his ramen noodles sounded like a good idea.
I pack jerky into the field all the time! Alot of it is home made venison jerky from a simple brine solution-water, a little salt and just some basic seasonings-garlic, onion powder...
When i out of deer and really crave it, i get some eye of round, or inside round chunks at the store and make some to last until deer season.
on edit: and a little black pepper! one year i took a bottle of montreal steak seasoning and put it in my black pepper corn grinder, then I finely ground the MSS, onto my venison-Man was that good jerky!!!
