As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
This is a survival maintenance reminder for future tense, but I have read of brilliant hunters who kill deer, and then of course pile the boned out meat into a garbage bag. The problem is the garbage bags are SCENTED, and the meat ends up flavored of soap and you can not eat it, without trimming all the outside layers of meat off.
What TL and I use are either those big plastic laundry hampers or what we came up with in butchering chickens in rubber livestock tanks. For gamebirds, you just fill them up, turn on the hose and let the blood wash out of the meat once gutted.
You do not do that for hoof meat, but these big tubs work well for the piling up of meat, until it is ready to be packaged, not in garbage sacks, but in freezer bags.
We do a great deal of storing in bulk of freezer paper or plastic wrap, to keep the portions from sticking together, and then placing them in 2 gallon freezer bags.
The same reality is for apples being transported in plastic 5 gallon buckets, also another acceptable transport for game meat.
Having experienced plastic garbage bags I do not see why idiots in gardening, hunting or fishing, ever turn to those easily ripped bags. They are an absolute problem, and the only time I will use them is to temporarily place quarters of game into them, as they lay on a table or pickup bed. They are designed for a one time use, in garbage to be burned. They are not designed for storing things in.
I would love it if there were affordable large plastic bags, but I just start cringing at bags in the 10 to 30 dollar price range, as I just know they are not going to last like I hoped they would as bones poke holes in plastic like politicians steal money.
Nothing like having your only food supply all tasting like baby ass perfume.
