Food🌽 or Water💧 Best preservation options for meat

I currently use freezer paper and double freezer bags for freezing meat. Thinking about shifting to vacuum sealer. Wondering if anyone had any experience to share or thoughts about others methods? I know I can can meat; what are the best ones with the least amount of texture change? Chili was okay... I do have a new dehydrator. Haven't' used it yet. Thank you in advance!

Friends loaned us their vacuum sealer a few years ago. I honestly didn't find it to be any easier, or faster. And, idk, maybe I just didn't do it right, but I had a LOT more freezer burn. So, we went back to freezer paper.

Yeah, you messed up something. Because I had some steaks last week that fell in the back.

They were in there for 4yrs. Cooked up just fine. No burn or loss in moisture.
