will it go bad in a backpack in unknown conditions in its vacum sealed container?

Well,  there's a restaurant in Siberia or Russia where you can have a genuine Mammoth steak, frozen for about 30,000 years.       I wonder if jerky can last that long?  


Yes,  it can, if it's buried under the snow and ice with a Mammoth!


I know that "real" jerky will keep for a few years, at least.  If it's stored properly, that is.

Jerky doesn't last long at all.........If it's any good I eat it up.

The key to storing jerky is to keep it in a sealed and roomy conainer. Avoid bags at all costs. A jar works best. Old mayo jars are pretty good for this. This should be good for a few years depending on the specific type and how it was dried etc.

considering what the Donner party ate before they started eating leftovers,
I would think one could eat jerky that was quite old

I didnt know if it was just bad jerky or what but I thought that would be a main survival store but on a long hunting trip I thought I had some jerky go bad it was still sealed in orignal bag with original seal but it tasted sour after 4 days in my bag.

The more dry and brittle it is the longer it should last.  The juicy, chewy stuff should last several months if stored properly.  The stuff that crumbles and falls apart in your hand should last a few years.
