Sep 25, 2014 at 8:08 comment added GdD Learning to preserve meat isn't a good use of your time. Wherever you go either the locals will do it better than you can, or then won't do it at all - they'll eat it as soon as they get it. Many places you go the tools and ingredients you need won't be available. I recommend you spend your time learning language and customs so you know how to ask for things you need, and how to subsist wherever you are going.

Sep 25, 2014 at 1:54 comment added Joe If it's not too warm, you might be able to confit it ... or make potted meat. I don't think they're considered acceptable techniques by modern standards, but they were used in Europe before the days of refrigeration & canning. It's also possible to pickle meat, but some people don't care for the resulting texture (eg, corned beef)
Sep 25, 2014 at 1:50 comment added Joe 'best way' varies with the local climate ... if you're in the middle of monsoon season, smoking or drying it doesn't work nearly as well as when you're in the dry season, unless you can manage to seal it up well.
Sep 25, 2014 at 0:51 comment added Cascabel I'll let answers deal with good methods for preserving meat, but for now: unless "a little more salt" is an awful lot, what you're doing does not sound safe at all.
