King's Camo XKG Covert Hoodie

For those of you who are looking for a lightweight, breathable, and highly packable hooded jacket that's also extremely durable and flexible, this is the one for you. Made with a durable and flexible nylon shell, the XKG Covert Hoodie is lined with soft brushed polyester to ensure maximum comfort and warmth. Its camo print makes it perfect for open-country hunting and inconspicuous in wooded environments.

The King's Camo XKG Covert Hoodie is made of durable polyester, with a breathable lining and an attached hood. This lightweight, warm hooded sweatshirt is perfect for elk hunting because it offers plenty of warmth without being too bulky or heavy. It can also be used in other situations where you'll be out in the cold, like ice fishing or snowmobiling.

Teton Sports LEEF Ultralight Mummy Sleeping Bag

 

The Teton Sports LEEF Ultralight Mummy Sleeping Bag is a very lightweight and compactable sleeping bag that we can carry on our backpacking trips. This 3.3-pound bag has a 2-way zipper, taffeta lining, and fiberfill insulation to keep you warm at night. It comes with a stuff sack for storage or compression so that you can store it during long hikes while hunting.

 

Outdoor Edge WildLite Knife Kit

 

This is a great knife kit for backcountry hunters. It's lightweight and compact, with a stainless-steel blade that's easy to clean. The WildLite has a lifetime warranty.

The lightweight set comes with three razor-sharp knives that weigh only 20 ounces altogether. In addition, the set comes with a knife sharpener to keep those blades in tip-top shape as you field dress or butcher your elk.

The Cape, Skin, and Bone blades each have a rubberized handle that makes it easy to handle and keep a continuous grip. Knives with this simple but durable design should be in everyone's backpack.
