How to Kill and Process a Small Hog December 2016 Part 1 (3 part series)

What happens here

Prepare the necessary vacuum sealing supplies by opening a new 'Special Value Combo Pack' of FoodSaver bags, which includes various sizes. Then, lay out a selection of sharp knives on a wooden cutting board: an Outdoor Edge knife with two blades (one for hide, one for splitting the belly), a KA-BAR folding knife (for field dressing), a Victorinox deboning knife, a Tramontina butcher's grade kitchen knife, and a small, flexible $15 boning knife, which the host notes is his most used for deboning and processing.

Goal: Organize vacuum bags and select appropriate knives for butchering.
