I agree with TrapperJ
I'm money ahead by a long shot, and the food stays better longer than the old foodsaver stuff I used to use. Agree completely. We often have multiple units working at once and we cut multiple moose back-to-back. Packing hundreds of pounds of meat and fish at a time it is faster and does a better job. Regardless how it is frozen, or held, the vac packers do a better job. The quality of the bags is critical to longevity in the freezer. Proper handling of the packages is always important. I've always said that foodsavers are responsible for more wasted fish than the bering sea trawl fleet..

The every-day freezer contains tall boxes, each full of different cuts, whether steaks, roasts, burger or stew meat. Each has the oldest packages on top, with newer packages on the bottom. So when we want to cook steaks, we grab a package from that box. There's also a box for gamebirds, same deal.
Each year just before hunting season we take everything out of all the freezers and defrost them, then rearrange the packages in the boxes. It doesn't take nearly as long as you might imagine, usually 2-3 hours. My problem is I hate defrosting freezers at least as much as you hate cleaning rifle bores..........

Ha!
We do it once a year, usually in August. The whole process, including shifting the packages around so the oldest are on top, takes 2-3 hours. But we've been doing it for a while....
