Bigger Game Questions on the Show "Alone" - 08/01/20
Okay, so nobody wants to survive off a few field mice or a handful of mussels for weeks. Obviously, all the contestants would love to score a deer, elk or moose if possible. But after they prepare it, then what? They don't have a freezer. The inside of their shelter needs to stay warm so they don't get hypothermia. They don't have a bunch of containers to stow it in. If it's freezing outside, they could wrap it in something and keep it out side the shelter, but then you have to worry about attracting predators into your area. The only thing I can think of is wrapping it and hoisting it up in a tree and hope birds don't peck away at it. You could smoke as much meat as possible. How long would that last? Would you keep smoked meat inside the shelter or would you worry about the shelter getting ransacked? If you could only keep a portion of the game, what would you personally choose to keep? Versus what you would use for trap bait etc. How would you guys manage such a challenge if you couldn't cut everything up, wrap it good, stow it in bigass igloo coolers until it gets home and in the butchers hand or in your freezer?
