How do you store your dehydrated food so it lasts? Can it be stored to last years?

Not really. There’s methods that you can use if you really want to but I don’t do it. You get sterilized #10 cans, add dry ice to the bottom so it displaces the oxygen (or some other way of displacing the oxygen)then seal the lid with a dessicat pack. I will just store my stuff in Ziploc bags without all the hassle because I use it up within 6 months.

My home dehydrated food lasts for years, just in zip-lock bags, but I take out more water than the commercial products. The commercial products leave more moisture in, so that it will be chewy. I trust mine to last longer than the average commercial variety.
