Knowing what I know now,
Field care
-a good knife,
-good game bags ( if you have to 1/4 and pack out)
-good cooler to keep the meat on the drive home (if you bring out a whole critter this is null)
Home--
-good boning, fillet and butcher knife (personally I don't use a saw for anything )
-an actual grinder. if you make any amount of grounds and have the extra room (I did 140# of moose through the wife's kitchen aid.. that was a rough 5 hours and constant ice pack coolings)
-vac seal AND sranwrap / freezer paper. Vac sealer has so many other uses, but meat goes into the freezer paper.
-dehydrator for jerky and backpacking meals
-i don't use a stuffer but I don't make brats or stuff like that, I'll outsource those if I get an itch for em.
-kitchen scale gets you the majority of your needs for grounds or general roast weights
- gambrel, just use a 2x4 trimmed to your liking.
