Looks nice and tidy. But I'd miss getting slapped around the face every 5 minutes with a soggy wet bloody neck every 5 minutes!

I have found that the eating quality is much better from an animal carcass recovered whole and hung overnight (by neck or brisket ) than an animal butchered on the hill hot. An animal gutted and left on the hill overnight to cool and cut up in the morning after full rigor has set it, is also perfect.

The pack doesn't make them lighter but it does keep the centre of gravity lower and easier to balance
