Last nights carry was not long so the cool down period was not long, but I took the meat out of the dry bags as soon as I got back onto a 4x4 track; I left it there before I walked back to pick up the Hilux.
I’ve got three canvas meat bags too, they’re great for base camps or when you’re splitting a deer with a mate. I’ve only recently started using the Tatonka dry bags as I’d picked up one of those new soft and quiet Tatonka back packs and I didn’t think it’d like having blood through it, plus I got sick of washing my packs.
I’ve also got one of the Hunters Elements bags, it’s a bit big and no better than $1 pillow cases from second hand/op shops. You’d be silly not to just use pillow cases, they’re almost disposable; just stay out of the op shops that I get mine from!
Try to use 100% cotton pillow cases with a high thread count. ��

The Hunters Element bags (you know, the ones you gave me ) are far easier to wash and keep clean than pillow cases. Its important if you actually do your own washing
