After living in the bush for 2 years I have learned and experienced a lot.  One thing I have always hated though is coming home from a long day of fishing and having to clean and put away fish.  I perfer to take the 30 trout or the 85 tomcod and through them in the freezer and get to them at a later date.

A few days ago a guy from the village asked to borrow Diannas sled to go caribou hunting.  He was successful and when he returned the sled he gave us a rib cage of caribou.  After a long day of school I did not want to cut it up and deal with it so I quickly through it in the freezer before Dianna would notice.  If she saw it out she would want to cut it up and put it away that night.

I learned after putting a muskox leg bone in the freezer Dianna also doesn’t like dead animals in the freezer that aren’t wrapped or bagged.  Since I didn’t have a bag large enough for the caribou I decided it would be ok on some cardboard.

This was perfect, it was put away until a later date, and it wasn’t getting her freezer all bloody…until she reached into the freezer to get something for dinner.  To her suprise there was a rib cage of caribou, that wasn’t quite frozen yet.  She didn’t seem overly pleased that I was thinking of her as I put it on top of cardboard.
