Sorry to hijack, but how does everyone store their jerky when done? What to do if I want to keep it for a long period of time.

In my initial post to this thread I said I put what I won't eat in a few days in quart freezer bags and freeze it for later use. It holds up well like that.

I only leave out what I will eat in a couple days since the only preservative I use is salt and the way I make my jerky, I leave the meat just a bit moist and not bone dry. Bacteria will form in about 3-4 days after it is done if kept out on the table. I'll usually refrigerate what I decide to keep out after a couple days if not already eaten.
