Best way to store a LOT of food?

[soul eating bunny]

Hello, everyone. I went a little crazy while hunting, and got myself a little too much food. I've been putting it all on my 5 drying racks, and am wondering if there's a better way to store food. I'm thinking the cabinet might be a good option, but is there something better? I've been collecting a mix of lizard, fish, rabbit, and deer/boar/raccoon meat if that helps. I haven't hunted the sharks yet, nor do I think they even have meat. I only cook cannibals for bones/skulls, and sometimes chop them up for glider parts.

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

just lots of drying racks is all i can think of. or stop killing so many animals lol

I will accept the first option. The second is not possible. The animals want to die, they keep crossing my path. Thank you for the answer, now I must return to The Forest: Hunting/Extinction Simulator...

Drying racks are your best bet, but meat can spoil on those to, it just takes longer (and you can sometimes revert this by picking the meat off the rack instead of eating it directly). Good news, if you also grab the old pot, you can use rotten meats (dried or otherwise) in stews and be fine.

also, you are correct about the sharks. The living ones dont even drop the head trophy, so the only point to killing a shark is getting the achievement or buying a few minutes to swim in shark waters for something like collecting oysters, but it sounds like you got enough food to not bother with that already.

If it's smaller than a deer you could always practice your marksmanship. Rabbit, lizard, raccoon, and boar can all be 1-shot by bow and arrow. Deer can be 1-shot by a thrown spear but will happily run off with your arrow if you try to shoot them. Though deer also get a bit stunlocked when they are hit regardless what they get hit with so its also fully possible to just run up and smack them and just keep smacking them til they die. Croc, is big enough to sort of get treated like an enemy, shoot it repeatedly from afar or beat it up with melee but watch its bite, including its ability to lunge towards its backside if you try to strike it from behind. If all else fails, turtles spawn at various points across the coast, drop 2 generic meat, and all you have to do is aim for the neck not the shell. There's also fish in the various ponds, lakes, rivers, etc that you can easily get to.
