Smokehouse
The real old school answer would be packed in salt or sugar. Properly cold smoked meats should keep quite some time in a dry cool insect free place.

My great grand parents would smoke coons, ducks, chickens..... They would then store them in rendered pig fat in a wooden barrel under the cystrain* (wooden structure that holds water) because as they said it was the coolest place around the house. Whenever they needed meat they would dig it out, heat it up and eat it. They both lived to be in their 90s.

"cistern" and it doesn't have to be made out of wood.

My grandpa told me as a kid after buthering a pig, his mom would place all of the pork in a barel full of fat/grease. Then pull out the meat when ready to cook.

Any fat can be used as a cap. The vikings used to use milk.
You can can sausage, but the texture is odd.
Packing in salt works well.

Why? We have advanced a little in the tech department. Plus I dunno how well it will do in humid climates.
