Long Term Storage?

I had to harvest all my plants last weekend, gale force wind, heavy rains etc. and of course my plants were outside. So anyway, thanks to everyone who replied to my other threads on drying etc. now I'm just stuck with how to store it long term.

All I could think of was vacuum packing it in one of those bags you use a vacuum, to erm...well you get the idea.

Can anyone think of other ways? Storage space is somewhat of an issue, as is reducing smell.

I use quart mason jars and keep them in the fridge. They'll keep damn near forever that way. Vacuum bags will crush your buds and won't keep as long as they will in jars.
