If done correctly, beef jerky should contain no water at all. Therefore it has no water molecules for mold or other bacteria to grow. It will last until eaten. Store bought jerky has other oils and additives added so they have a bacteria potential and the life span is the expiration date.

it depends but try about 2 weeks opened in a plastic bag or so.
For the most part foods were stored by cooking and salting them, like making beef jerky for example. This allowed the foods to last through the winter.
it could lastindefinitely if it was cured and dried properly. but to be on the safe side i would judge it by the sell by date and add maybe a couple of weeks on to it. i have kept vacuum packed jerky for month's after the sell by date but this is just me. when i make my own jerky i leave it in the fridge in a vacuum container for about three months or until i eat it all
It will last until it is eaten. It has no expiration date. Early frontiersman used beef jerky on the trail when fresh meat was unavailable. They learned from the local Indians how to smoke fish. This will depend upon the smoking process that has been used. Some smoked fish - like lox - must be kept refrigerated and will have a short shelf life, since there's still plenty of water activity. Meat that has been dried - like jerky - will last longer. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines. Also see Related Links.

Beef jerky is thought to have originated in South America during the 1800s. The Quechua tribe, who were ancestors of the ancient Inca empire, produced a meat similar to beef jerky called ch'arki, or charqui. It was made by adding salt to strips of muscle tissue from game animals such as deer, buffalo, and elk, and allowing them to dry in the sun or over fires for extended periods of time. This method of preparation enabled the people to preserve meats during times when it was readily available and eat it when food was scarce. When the Spanish encountered this method of meat preservation, they adopted it and made it available to the rest of the world. It became a staple foodstuff for American cowboys and pioneers. Early explorers built smoke huts and hung cuts of meat over a fire to smoke cure the meat. True jerky was made when the meat was first flavored and then cured. Over the years, people discovered that the meat could be made more palatable by the addition of various spices.
