how you know you're me, part the whateverth:

At a company-sponsored lunch for about eight or nine people from the office, the subject of jerky comes up, and as you are discussing the specific spice mix used in the last batch of jerky you made and brought to the office, the company president asks you, "So... could you make your jerky after the apocalypse, or is it dependent on your equipment to do it?"

And after a bit of thought you answer that since what you need is a low-temperature fire and air circulation, as long as you had your ingredients, sure, you could do it.
