Suggestions on how to drive 30 hours with meat cost effectively

[BradySC05]

We are taking a trip to the north country this fall and instead of bringing the diesel truck and trailer like we have in the past (cost of fuel being so high), we plan on taking my f150. Any suggestions on how to transport the possible 2 moose back home 30 hours with limited space and cost effectively?

Dry ice, a ton of moving blankets, and tarps. If you want more, bubble wrap, it creates a cool air gap.

Home made temporary deep freeze.

We've done this with about 600 lbs of vacuum sealed frozen fish before. 14 hr drive but literally everything was still fully frozen solid.

I built a box out of old plywood and bought some !" foam insulation sheets and covered it with an old sleeping bag or (s). to fit in the bed of my pickup when I used to bring fish home from Baja. Add some dry ice and should work fine. If you get a chance to bone the meat as takes less space boned.

I do this now.

I’ve done it a bunch with Elk, a cpl coolers with ice works fine. The temps will stabilize after a day or so provided you hung it at night to cool it off, and the ice will stop melting. I then keep it in those coolers for a cpl more days till I cut it up.
Moose might fill that f150 up pretty quick.

De-bone if possible. Freezer & generator would work. The Amish build ice houses with sawdust and ice, but space effective is box lined with blueboard insulation, some dry ice and a thermometer you can read from the cab.

Lot of pickups have a 110v plug in the bed now.
