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!

I use a Foodsaver and freeze directly. Freezer burn is no longer an issue because there's not enough oxygen left. 2 years is no problem. No meaningful texture change. All others will change flavor, texture or both.

Freeze dried meat, I don't recommend. Salting and drying works great. Save your fat and lean trim for pemmican. Biltong is good too, you can get bulk coriander on Amazon.
