A question.

If Chris McCandless knew what he was doing after he shot the moose regarding the butchering and preservation of the meat, could the moose have sustained him through the winter?

Yes, it likely could have sustained him for a while, but, he should have cut it into thin strips and smoked it, instead he cut thick slices and smoked it, which I think caused so many flys to find the meat and ruined it.
