Field dressing way out in the back is tough. A good knife, saw, and game bags are important and I also bring gloves, cord and a tarp to keep things clean. Last year, my gear saved me when I had to break down an elk far from my truck. What do you pack?
 
I forgot my gloves once and cleaned up for hours. Now I always pack nitrile gloves, paracord and a small folding saw...they're lifesavers
 
Last season I dressed a deer with just my drop-point and tarp. Never again, though, without game bags! They keep meat clean and make packing out much better
 
Field dressing way out there is tough! My pack's got it all, folding saw, lots of knives, even a headlamp. The thing is, there was this time when I open it, I just stared and ask...okay, which one do I even use first?
 
One time, I forgot my tarp when I was elk hunting in the rain. I had to use my rain jacket to keep the meat clean. It smelled like both success and regret all the way back.
 
Speaking of something going right... last hunting season, I had to gut a deer in super deep snow. If I didn't have high-quality gloves and a super sharp knife, I would have had either frozen hands or have made an awful mess. Those two items proved to be invaluable

I know that feeling, staring at my pack like it's a puzzle box.
