Beef jerky/hydrated meat would be a better source of protein. Cheaper, too.

If you can afford it, a freeze drying machine is THE WAY TO GO.

You can freeze dry all sorts of food, it will last many, many years (20 years in some cases), and when you re-hydrate it tastes like fresh.

By far, the #1 way to go. But machines are expensive. Always tradeoffs.
