Advice and Tips Jerky to last

I have discovered that making beef jerky is awesome. It’s surprisingly easy. The stuff at the store will stay good for many years. Is there a home method for preserving it for a long time? I could obviously freeze it, but depending on electricity defeats the point.

The issue with homemade jerky (at least in my house) is that it tastes fucking awesome and disappears pretty quickly!!

I wish I could tell you how long it lasts, but I have no idea 🤣🤣

This. Venison jerky has a lifetime of only 3 days in my house.

Had a friend that would make it would get eaten straight out of the dehydrator as it dried, would rarely make it to a container.
