I bought snuggies a few years ago as last-minute christmas gifts. They liked them and still use them, so I guess that was a win.
*ETA: Just remembered a couple from when I was a kid: 1) Pure Moods (looking at track listings, I apparently had the 1997 re-release - X-Files Theme FUCK YEAH!). That was and still is an awesome CD and fuck anybody who disagrees.
2) One of those jerky-making kits, where you stir up hamburger and seasoning and then squirt it out of a tube like an icing applicator onto these round plastic grills that sit in tiers over a thing that blows air on them. Stunk up the house, jerky tasted awful, would not buy again.
Speaking of buying TV crap for christmas...my brother-in-law bought this box of like 300 or something assorted folding pocket knives for some absurdly low price to give as gifts 'from the dog' / stocking-stuffers / gifts to acquaintances. Best idea ever. According to sister, he also just grabs a new knife out of the box whenever he needs one and can't immediately find one, so now no matter where you are in their house, there is probably a handy knife within arm's reach.
Depends on how much you want to get into this. I have one of these. It does a great job. I am looking at upgrading but haven't decided on one. It's addicting.
I've only done venison and beef. Ground beef is good with the jerky gun.
Been using the Jerkey Xpress for a few years now. Never used the "jerkey gun," don't trust that part of it really.
How to make Pemmican. You can take just normal parchment paper and line the dehydrator with it, cutting a hole in the middle for the dryer itself. Put fruits you prefer into a food processor and puree it as best as you can. I add some chia seeds for bulking and additional micro nutrients. I also bought beef tallow from Amazon as well, since it's already rendered and ready to go (and I dislike pork). I did a bit more than 2lbs of beef jerkey, a dozen apples and two little baskets of blackberries and made a stupid amount of pemmican. I coached a rifle range and ate about a Cliff's bar worth of pemmican for the whole day, feeling full the whole time. 10/10 would recommend tinkering with it yourself to find a flavor combo you like. Use the food processor to grind up the jerkey too.
PS: I'm CBRN also. Small world.
