One way to minimize freezer burn is to wrap them tight with plastic wrap, each piece individually, before putting them all in a Zip lock (or whatever brand) bag and then in the freezer.

I agree with that, but even easier than using plastic wrap, is using those cheap twist tie plastic bags and squeezing out all the air before placing in a heavy freezer bag. It really works well for preventing freezer burn.
That comes from someone who doesn't have a vacuum sealer machine, and doesn't want one. ;)
 
Every single time I use plastic bags, I get freezer burn. I use freezer paper, the wax lined kind, and wrap them up tight with masking tape. Got some meat on sale, about to wrap up fifteen pounds of ground meat and a lot of chicken into one pound portions. Not together of course.

Vacuum sealers are as good as it gets for preventing freezer burn.

I completely should just buy a vacuum sealer. Given the amount of backpacking we do, given the fact I buy in bulk stuff and like to prepare ahead stuff like beans etc... There is really no reason I shouldn't have one. Would save me a bunch of time too wrapping everything in freezer paper and masking taping it up.

Any suggestions on the model? What do you use?
