Oh boy, I suspect this has been asked before, so apologies if it's been answered.
Have you considered a way to smoke meat/make jerky?
Here's my thought, using cured birch branches to build a smoker, which sits on a camp fire outside. You need to keep the fire going for 8-10 hours straight to smoke the meat, the meat looses half it's calories, but lasts longer and maybe doesn't attract predators (or you can carry more before getting the 1 scent line.) It would give birch another purpose, plus force you to find a protected place to monitor a campfire all day/keep it burning.
I'm bringing this up because I've had back-to-back games where I've gotten a moose and a bear around the same time. It's just a LOT of meat to deal with, not to mention all the wolves I've left to rot in the snow when they came for me as I ferried meat around. Just hate the waste!
