I have lived just about everywhere there is to live in Northern Ontario and some places in Southern Ontario. When I was young I was a rambling man.
I moved and traveled a lot.
Not much for riding the rails though I preferred the car or truck!
I have some family in Brampton.
I live now in the North Bay area, near Quebec.

We use mostly a good quality meat wrapping paper. The plastic wrap is okay for a shorter time period. Zip Lock freezer bags might be good,but then your adding some cost. The vacuum sealing I don't know about.
Jerky, and I love Deer Jerky seems to last a long time.
With a larger family we go through meat within a year so really storage has not been such a big issue. I know in the past we had some hamburger over a year and the normally high quality taste was declining. It was wrapped in meat paper.
Really, I get most of my information from my wife. She grew up on a farm and her brother still has cattle (Down in the USA
though ) . Michael
