You could always send it to him via PM..........but some may consider that child abuse.
Wow a lot of key board warriors out there!!
sorry if you feel i wasted your time, at the end of the day you didn't need to post on this thread if it wasn't relevant... but i guess that's just yanks being yanks...
to be honest i just wanted some good information and insight from people over the pond but i guess its hard to get past the 'greatest country on earth' bull**** ego you've all got going on
and FYI i thought i would underline above what actual trolling was because you sure as **** don't know much about it.... someone posting on a forum asking questions and answering questions that he/she has been asked and hoping to get some good answers (which by the way i did so thanks to those who have help) isnt really trolling.
The folks down here have always had their work cut out the minute they shot the game. They smoked the meat of most game and salted fish and hides.
Smoke is free. Salt cost money and had to be carried in. Once roads came into to being down here in South Florida. They started using meat lockers and blocks of ice to help. You would just hang the gutted carcass over the smoke.
bottom line is, if your parent/grandparents are from a farm and you lived there it tells me you learned nothing if you have to ask all these basic questions, and it also says you have no basic plan for prepping, you want to travel well come to north america. south america, Australia etc etc throw on a pack and go exploring till you find a place you like. its that simple .

Just because you didn't receive the fawning, glowing, instant gratification answers that you wanted does not mean that you received wrong/bad answers. You have bigger issues than figuring out where to go live primitively/squat for a year. Maybe you'll figure it out - maybe you won't. Quite frankly none of us ego driven, Yank, keyboard commanders could care less. Don't let the door to life hit you in the arse on the way out.
Mom and dad send him to school in another country and allow him to vacation in Italy and we have the egos. Go figure.
I thought I provided a darn interesting link. Oh well

Actually you did......preservation of meat has been a very important to mankind since the first large animal was brought down....or more likely scavenged.
All this food, what to do with it?........What are we gonna do?
I really don't think there was a lot of thought by the OP as "bugging out" by nature means getting away from something.....there for leaving most of the processing equipment and supplies behind.
To say nothing of the time it would take to stalk, kill, clean, process and larger animal that can't be consumed in a couple of meals.
You would need to stop, and spend time to do so, to say nothing of a the meat smelling smoke or the smell of meat drying in the sun....with constant attention to keeping flies, and larger predators looking for a free meal.
Do you want the attention during a bug out?......I wouldn't.....I want to move fast, away from what ever caused me to leave most of my "good stuff" I can't carry, behind in the first place.
Smoking, drying, pickling, curing, freezing in caches, even burying, may well be planed for and done in long term.....Never going back scenario, but choosing to live here.......................Or in the case of most all native peoples,....being nomadic to take advantage of resources,........and leave the stink behind for a year.
Too many movies, TV, and homemade You tubes.......too little going out and trying it out.
Besides smoking fish, is really hard to keep lit.....

Pork seems particularly time consuming to preserve. 2 weeks of brining.. Then the materials. Enough salt to float a good egg in the brine. That's a lot. Not an "on the move" procedure.

Pork is impossible to preserve. I eat it too fast to keep it.
Ohhhhhhhhhh......can I play? Huh, Rick.......Crash.....can I, Can I....HUH, HUH????? Hahahaha.

Wow! Lots of unnecessary personal attacks on this thread from folks on both sides of the pond.
If a person for whatever reason was attempting primitive living and wanted to simply preseve some amimal meat: a simple smoker can work fairly well but is time consuming and flies and scavengers are a constant problem. I once saw a young bull steal piccary meat from a indigenous man's smoker and eat it. The man was very angry and twisted the bull's head while beating it. I could be remembering wrong but I think he called it a troll... but my knowledge of his language was minimal at the time.
The Portuguese have been salting and sun drying fish for over 1000 years. Then they soak it before eating, typically cook with rice and beans. It was never a favorite of mine as a kid but I like it now. Good for backpacking.
Be sure to pack some Imodium A.D. it can give you a sour stomach especially if you dried it yourself. TMI!
