It's a good one to bookmark.
FAO Is a division of the UN I believe and they have a very detailed document on proper food drying procedures. It is very in depth and covers everything from meat selection, drying techniques, handling techniques and more.

Here's the link, it's worth a read if you're into learning about this kind of thing <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Incidentally I found it on chance when looking for 'cheyenne food drying techniques' that were mentioned in a previous post by someone else. If that person would be so kind as to elaborate on those techniques I'd be greatly appreciative. Thanks!

That's a great source of information, and not just on drying food. If you back up the web address to http://www.fao.org you'll see that they have lots of info, a virtual library and other publications and documents.

Thanks!

Glad that someone can make use of it. It's that whole 'teach a man to fish' methodology... But yeah it's amazing what you can find with a little google-fu!
