I clicked this thread because the title suggests you have the answer.

Yep...the title snagged me too. It should say "how do I store meat". I was hoping to see a nifty new process, that I knew nothing about.

I'd combine most of the answers here like this: Keep your meat as normal as you do. IF and WHEN there is a need to store it as you ask, then I'd smoke it. So learn how to smoke it should the need arise and you need to know how to be ready...

But, that doesnt answer the question of being ready for it to get to that...otherwise...in theory, you should have a 2nd $300's of meat already smoked-dehydrated.

If I were going by the title alone, I would have said that I keep mine in my underwear... it hasn't spoiled yet.

On topic, other than freezing, there is: salting, drying, smoking or canning.

lol.. my undrer ware arent big enough..lol

All you have to do is take any raw meats and barry it in salt. It will then last for years.



Salt cured meats

Jerky.

If your jerky is molding then you are either incorrectly curing the meat or your are storing the jerky incorrectly.

Correctly cured meat/jerky will store for up to 14 months.

One method is vacuum seal the container in which you store it along with some of those oxygen absorption packets.

Well, the only way I know to store big amounts of meat for long time is having small living animals like chickens or rabbits and cook one at time, as need.

(When I said rabbits, I don't mean ATS member).

Air tight container, fill with salted water at saturation point (1 mole or when the salt no longer disolves (BRINE)) then rinse off the meat if uncured and put the meat in the containers and fill up to the top with as little air as you can then seal and bury over 1 meter down, if you smoke it first it will increase the storage life even further and if you can smoke and get a vaccum packing machine then that also will preserve it.
In the old west the cowboys used to eat jerky so look up how to make that, it is basically marinaded and dried meat and keep's for a hell of a while.
Pickling is also good but as you are talking of a lot of meat I would suggest you use all the above techniques or you will get sick of the flavour pretty fast and using the different techniques will make it more pallatable as you will have a choice when you go get something to eat.
Good luck.
And always cook it thoroughly just to be on the safe side, even dead bacteria can leave toxins in the meat which can make you seriously ill and even cooking will not remove toxin's so if in doubt only eat a little at first to see if there are any adverse reactions after a couple of hours such as stomache upset and sweating.

Think in "energy conversion".

In a self sustaining situation, you would ideally grow vegetables/fruit during warm months. Feed animals to store that energy for cold months, then eat meat through the winter. Animals become energy storage.

In your case, you need to find a way to store that energy (the meat). Pork might be a good choice. But really...you don't want to go feeding your pigs a whole lot of meat.

You can dry it, etc. Learn to make pastrami's and other dried sausages.

"Dried beef" is an ingredient in a few mexican dishes i know. It lasts for a really long time when you store it properly. I have never had any go bad, personally.

You have a charcoal grill..?? its 95 degrees outside.. and 70 degrees or hotter at night.. what and how do you save the meat you need to eat to survive,, or does it go to rotting?? - See more at: www.abovetopsecret.com...

It will all rot, unless you have a plan to deal with it immediately.
I have a burner on my BBQ grill, and a pressure cooker.
I invested in a food dehydrator years ago.
I try to keep the meat in my freezer at no more than a manageable size should an extended power outage occur.

Should this thread move to survival forum?
Anyway ,I guess a dehumidifier help....

I am no expert but I thought, cut it up into cubes and pickle it. Yes / No ?

Easiest way with minimum effort.

ETA. I looked it up, very simple!
