if he knew to take the salt, he can save most of the moose, but if he can't dip the strips of organs and meat into a very salty brine first, it's unlikely that he can smoke it all in time to save it. If it's going below 40F at night, he can put the strips of flesh into tarp and tape bags, and bury them below his shelter. This will refrigerate the flesh food for several days, letting him smoke all of the meat and preserve it.
many of them try to tell me that it's against the rules" to make more than 100 or so sq ft of netting or to bait in a bear.. My question to them is 'htf would you KNOW that I did so, hmm?" There's never even once been any answer. because there IS no answer. You can't know, unless you sit there with me every hour of the challenge and nobody's going to do that. There's no reason for such regulations, nor for limiting your movement to 1.2 mile radius of where they dropped you off. Nor for 10 items vs 30 items. My 30 items would probably have LESS bulk and weight than your 10 items. IF this challenge was for real, who would be so stupid as to be out there without a silencer, shorty AR in 223, with a 22lr conversion unit, scope, and night sights. as well as several lbs of big game snares, Conibear traps, and monofilament netting? A 60 gr 223 softpoint to the brain drop elk and moose and great bears, I promise you. The Innuit did such things for decades.
the only valid reason to limit your gear are bulk, weight and physical strength and stamina. Fit, strong men can often carry twice as much weight as average men can manage and if you're confined to 2.5 sq miles of land, wth bulk or weight matter, hmm? you're not going anywhere and you can drag 200 lbs behind you on a travois, a bit at a time.
I just had some clown (on another site) try to take me to task for taking the rope hammock, bivy, slingbow. I left him with part of his ass., cause I'm a nice guy.
fishing with hook and line is a waste of time and calories in cold weather, That time is MUCH better spent on making 2000+ sq ft of netting out of the cotton rope hammock. You can make a pontoon outriigger raft in one day, which is a MAJOR help in setting and servicing the nets, The shallow river is going to freeze solid, so the fish MUST all migrate down to the deeper lakes. Youv'e got about 3 weeks before there are ZERO more fish in the lakes. By then, you've either got to have harvested 400 lbs of fish, or used 100 lbs of fish as bait for a bear. Put the fish into a stake and log box that ONLY a bear can access, upwind of a tree blind, at a range of 10. I do NOT credit anyone for taking a bow shot at a moose beyond at most 40m, The arrow is in the air too long. Then the animal takes a step and you''ll have gut-shot it, like the a-hole tat you ARE. Then it suffers for 2 hours, like Jonas's moose did. No, a lung hit doest NOT take 2 hours to kill, unless you're a-hole enough to not be using sharp broadheads and probably not even then. the hole in the chest wall causes both lungs to collapse. It's called a "sucking chest wound". When you lose the vacumn inside of the chest cavity, your lungs collape and you die in a very few minutes, from lack of oxygen to the brain

Nice parking lot
Yes, recently resurfaced.
