Guys, the freezer my buddy used was a chest type not an upright, he did not have to lay it down. You can get one of the smaller ones for $200 new at Wally World. If you had an old one, even an upright laid down on it's back, that did not work it still will keep a lot of meat cold if you put ice, or maybe dry ice in it. I think a strap around it would be a good idea to make sure that the lid stayed closed and a chain and lock to keep folks out of it while you are sleeping at the motel. I have never shot or even seen a moose but I understand that they would produce a lot of meat so I thought the freezer idea was great. Take some longer extension cords if you decide to go this route.
