I've been especially curious about this particular subject, but I can't find much more than three methods that doesn't deal with canning or cold storage.
A salt/sugar mix does well to dry out meat and is (in my experience) much safer than leaving meat out in the sun to dry.
I hear that putting a coating of tallow on meat prevents the meat from oxidizing and inhibits bacterial growth, but I haven't gotten around to testing it.
Smoking is always a common go-to method of preservation.
But I was hoping to learn some more, or maybe some more refined ways of going about the above (perhaps even some confirmation on the tallow) in a situation where electricity is not an option.
