Pulled pork for later - questions.

I want to take some pork shoulder to make pulled pork lunch sandwiches on an upcoming vacation and need some expert advice which will save me from having to do time consuming experimentation. It will be frozen and vacuum sealed for the journey.
After smoking the shoulder, should I cut into into chunks or pull it first before vacuum sealing and freezing? I don't think this matters, but I have a chamber vacuum sealer so it will be compressed tightly.
And, if you think this is a bad idea all the way around, feel free to chime in!
Thanks for any thoughts!

I just pull the pork and chamber vac it. Has always worked good for me.

I think pork is one of the better meats to freeze.
I cooked a butt last Saturday and used some of the leftovers today for some baked beans.

Pull it, seal it, and reheat sealed in the bag in almost boiling water. You’ll never know it isn’t fresh.I'm in Fredericksburg, VA, and I have an XL and a medium.

I would go ahead and pull it, but I don't like to shred it super fine .Leave it a little chunky. I think this helps to retain some moisture in the meat.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.
