Having the right gear is critical to staying safe, successful, and comfortable in the backcountry. This collection includes field-tested packs, game bags, calls, multi-tools, shooting accessories, lighting, e-bikes, and more, all hand-picked by GOHUNT’s team of western hunters. Save time, shed weight, skip the guesswork. If it’s in this collection, it’s proven to perform. No fluff, just gear that goes as hard as you do.
Consider these foundational gear items: a reliable pack, a durable knife and/or multi-tool, game bags, a quality headlamp, first aid kit and a power source or backup charging. These basics cover core needs like navigation, safety, and processing, and will grow as your hunts become more advanced.

Great question — both are excellent, but they serve slightly different priorities: Mystery Ranch packs are built for durability and comfort under heavy loads. Their structured frames, adjustable yokes, and feature-rich designs are ideal for multi-day hunts or those packing out substantial weight. Stone Glacier focuses on ultralight efficiency without sacrificing performance. They're perfect for hunters who prioritize speed, minimalist gear, and long-distance hikes into backcountry terrain.
We get it — dialing in the right kit can feel overwhelming. You can explore our educational videos, gear reviews, and Gear Lists to help guide your choices. If you're still unsure our Gear Experts are just a chat or call away.
Every hunter should carry a few key safety essentials: Navigation tools: GPS device, map, and compass (always have a backup if batteries die). Emergency shelter: lightweight bivy sack or tarp in case weather rolls in or you're forced to spend a night out. First aid kit: stocked with bleeding control, blister care, medications, and trauma supplies. Headlamp or flashlight: with extra batteries for navigating in the dark. Fire-starting tools: waterproof matches, lighter, and fire starter. Signaling device: whistle or mirror to signal for help. Satellite communication device: optional but highly recommended for remote hunts (e.g., inReach or ZOLEO). These items can make all the difference in an emergency and are compact enough to fit in any daypack or loadout.
Even seasoned hunters occasionally leave behind essential gear often small but critical items that make a big difference in comfort, safety, or success. Commonly forgotten items include: • Gaiters: They protect your boots and lower legs from water, snow, burrs, and debris especially useful in wet or brushy terrain. • Camp shoes: After a long day in stiff boots, ultralight sandals or slip-ons can save your feet around camp. • Spare socks: Extra merino or moisture-wicking socks are vital for foot health on multi-day hunts. Wet socks can ruin a hunt fast. • Boot insoles or blister kits: Many hunters underestimate how important custom insoles, moleskin, leukotape, or a quality blister kit can be when miles start to add up. • Footwear repair items: Small gear like Shoe Goo, a sewing awl, or replacement laces can make or break your trip if something fails in the backcountry. In the broader category, hunters also commonly forget extra batteries, headlamp backups, hydration tablets, or even rangefinder spare batteries. A simple gear checklist before leaving can help prevent most of these common slip-ups.
