Thread: how do you store meat

i would normally hang it for a week or so, trying to figure out how to hang an animal inside the landcruiser without the dogs getting at it could be an issue though!

The biggest issue with transporting a domestic is the pipes break inside the compressor (the motor and comp are suspended inside the can on springs) oil is only an issue if you tip it on its side.

I value venison highly say $30/kg, 10kg per deer $300.
A $50 freezer for one trip is nothing.
A good chilly bin costs more.
I have a mate who took his beer fridge away camping for years without issues, he even lay it on its side. I don’t recommend it though I’ve seen the compressors break after a short move.

Yea but you live 24/7 in a fridge zone for next 3 months

Just started at the works last week the boss was informing me of a few do,s n donts one thing that made me prick my ears up was the export beef is chilled for 60 days , the place is really clean aside from blood & guts but what they do is vacuum pack it pretty much straight away though it is chilled by the time it gets to that department , so with this new found knowledge im thinking reverse as in everyone always wangs on how long they can hang critters before bagging it up , im thinking as soon as the veno is cold vacuum pac it & toss it in the fridge ...for how many days ....

I was just going to say vacuum pack and ice packs

I know I work on them everyday haha.

Most of the time I have transported them it's been on the side as I have not always had ideal methods.

I think to buy it from the supermarket its a bit like that price. Crazy
