I learned the 12 bag approach decades ago.
We would split a beef and after the steaks were gone, we ate soup bones and hamburger for the next 9 months.
That’s dumb.
Now the boxes are partitioned, and a week or two weeks worth of material comes out and gets transferred to the using freezer, and then every day or two packages come out of there.

It’s always a disappointment when there’s too much of one thing in the freezer and you can’t secure more of it because you don’t have any more room.

Ocean fish, freshwater fish, waterfowl, venison, upland birds, upland game, vegetables. Beef, pork, chicken, turkey, ham’s, corned beef, Prepared foods, soup.

Lots of choices.
Vacuum bags become essential.


Out there doing it best I can.
