I was given 3 for Christmas.
Good idea and mostly they got the design OK, but poor quality.
I have used one of them twice and two of them once. All of them have stitching coming undone. I will have to re-do the seams.

It’s hunters element..give them away and get a ridgeline meat bag,had one for years can’t fault it.
Are Ridgeline the brown ones? they are nice and big and can get 2 small deer in but can poke holes in them easy with bones.
Found old cotton sheets sewn up the best. Spray some fly spray on outside.
I find with meat bags for hanging meat the best thing to do is leave it on the bone and hang that. Then slide the meat bag over it and tie up so no pressure on the meat bag. I have curtain netting made ones that work a treat like this. A full length one and a back end length one.
I got a couple fo packs of these when I was in Canada a few years back and they are the ducks nuts:

Similar to the HE ones but are well made, light weight, robust and the different packs come with various sized bags so you can separate legs from back steaks / fillets, etc.
Ive always used pillow cases and will continue to. These were generous presents so I need to use them in-spite of their limitations. I was just giving a heads up about their poor workmanship.
Can’t beat ye old pillow cases, have a kuiu meat bag and it’s pretty good too.
The paint section in mita 10 has 5m rolls of muslin cloth for about $10 [emoji106]

Anything Hunters element I've bought, always has to be restitched.
Thanks @thar really handy info that.. I'm waiting for born and raised outdoors to do their Elk sized ones with zips that they have been exhaustively testing themselves, then upgrade my current Allen cheesecloth ones to the next level. Great to hang overnight to cool individual broken down animals and have the stoney creek packable meat safe for back at the hut.Quote:

If you hang meat in the muslin cloth as Tahr has pictured it stretches out the fabric and you most definitely can and will get flyblown meat.
If the meat is hung then the cloth hung around it so it is loose it is generally pretty good.
I never use cheese cloth as like others have said it sits tight on the meat and those bloody flies blow right through it.
Go to spotlight and get some net curtain and see it into a sleeve.
Just tie one end and slide it over your meat and then tie the top, no more creepy crawlies

That's why I'm looking to upgrading them but was good to bag for a short amount of time.. kinda :ORLY: oh and BTW - I stuffed up they were beef cloth... not cheesecloth.;)Quote:

I'll post the link to the US born and raised ones once released, and I'll try and trial them.
Don't forget these go back to be hung in side a Stoney Creek meat safe for the longer time on return from hunting.

I thought that cloth was designed to stop the carcass sticking together when frozen.
I have used it in the past and stuff fern around the meat so when the flys blow it they get the fern only.Quote:
