So, now that I've been making my own Jerky, I've been wondering what your experience is with long term storage.

So far I've turned 32lbs of beef into Jerky. Yield is about 7oz Jerky from 16oz of Top Round London Broil. The only problem is it lasts less than a week in my house. What's the secret of storing this stuff long-term? LOL, it's not going bad, we can't stop snacking on it.

Seriously though, how long will Jerky last in storage? Aside from vacuum-sealing it, what's the best way to extend the shelf life? O2 absorbers? I can throw it in the deep freeze, but if I loose power, how long would it be safe to eat?
