Lets make sure I have this correct!

If I'm wet marinading for jerky, I just need the 3-5oz/per gallon solution(cure#1) to be safe?( I too had heard 1 tsp/5ozs of water for 5lbs of meat)....but if I'm wanting to brine then I need to raise the solution up in salt...then this will also vary by the length of time I brine?
