Thread: Meat Bags

I use a canvas pikau, not in front of me and can't remember if hunter or Ridgeline, one of those..it can fit 3 medium goat carcases field dressed and skinned - just. It rolls up tight to fit in my daypack and has nylon shoulder straps that cut like a bastard with 3 goats in it but better than dragging..the neck has some cord to tie it closed. Blood will seep slowly thru but bugger all. Turned inside out I put it through on a cold wash along with my hunting clothes and hang it out on the line to dry. It has a slight residual kind of meat-fat smell but not offensive. Its a bit heavier than pillow cases and a bit bulkier than I like but breaths and is fly proof.

At an NZDA Sika Seminar got put onto making similar in whatever size you want from Bunnings weed mat material. Got a roll for about 20 bucks but not made up yet. Guy giving the seminar has hunted Sika 30 odd years and has landed on this stuff. Very light, very strong, fly proof, breaths but I'm guessing not as blood proof as canvas.

Will make one up when I can get the sewing machine out and set up without being noticed...
