You would salt the meat sufficient to dry it out - in very hot and/or humid climates you would almost have to pack the meat into a case of salt to get the proper dehydration. The salt reduces the water activity (basically the amount of water available to bacteria) in the meat - if the water activity is too low bacteria can't grow and therefore can't spoil the meat.
