Thread: Advice on handling meat after the kill

As others have said, dry and well aired is the way to go. I've applied this to a few aspects of my outdoor activities. Never wash meat or fish, never pack in non-breathable bags/containers until the last minute and only when well cooled. At the same time, you have to keep the flies off. On a similar note, my chilly bins are stored open unless 100% dry. Same principle when I get wounds on my body! Bacteria like water and the more unpleasant ones like anaerobic conditions (no oxygen).
