I used to make jerky. Duck and venison come to mind. Fall is a perfect
time to do it if you have black pepper, fishing line and a garage to
string the line in. Coarse black pepper keeps the flies off.
The process could be done in a spare room if where the jerky might
drip, at first, is protected. You'd probably need less pepper too.
Jerky is hard to get wrong. Even I could do it. I think I used some
sort of soy marinade first. Maybe, just salt and pepper. Too long
ago. :(

 I don't think I'd be comfortable with that, especially venison.
Trichinosis danger (yes, EU too).  Not sure air dried will kill that
but I'd be uncomfortable with it.
 

It's easy to prevent trichinosis. Just urinate on the strips of meat before you hang them to dry. The ammonia in your urine kills any trich worms.
And it adds a nice nautical flavor too.
