Thread: Be Honest - How do people carry out meat and large weight

I usually only carry out boned meat from the back legs and backsteaks plus heart maybe tongue and a small piece of liver. Front legs are often shot and never yield much meat. Typically this is only 10kg from a red hind. My pack is 10-15kg incl rifle in summer. I recently carried 24kg plus rifle for 1 1/2 days and that was far too much. I weigh about 70kg.

Yes this is a scenario I was referring to. If I’m going to do a 3 day trip again and shoot a meat animal in day one, logistics seem to really come into it- esp sumner and heat.

I use a load shelf pack it was a kuiu now Stone Glacier they are awesome your meat stays separate from your gear.
I try to take out back legs while with skin on if I can but if I have a couple I'll bone out all legs and back steaks.
A lot of the time the pack ends up around the 40kg mark and I tell myself every time don't do it you stupid old shit.
But I hate wasting meat, now on the wrong side of 60 I have to listen to myself as the body doesn't like that amount of weight.
