Federal Premium Scoped Rifle Case

Any hunter who appreciates traditional style will proudly tote a rifle to deer camp in this waxed canvas case. Much like when building premium ammunition, Federal paid close attention to detail when designing the classy case, which features brass hardware, double zippers with leather tabs, a leather-wrapped handle and a removable carry sling.

RUX 70L

When I first received the RUX 70L, I was admittedly skeptical. What could this $300 storage bin do that a $30 plastic tote could not? After a year of extensive use, I’ve found that the answer to that question is: “A lot.” For starters, the 70L is extremely well-built and made of materials that have withstood no shortage of abuse (I don’t think I own a plastic tote that isn’t cracked). It can be carried by its integrated handles or as a backpack with included shoulder straps. It’s fully waterproof. It’s got a handy windowpane to easily see what’s inside. It’s collapsible and packs away nicely when not in use. And, to top it all off, it comes with a lifetime warranty. The RUX 70L has become my go-to gear box for hunts and fishing trips, Boy Scout campouts with my son and outings at the shooting range. If you can swallow the steep price, it’ll almost certainly become a favorite of yours as well. Price: $298—John Taranto

Meindl MT6 Merino Wool Socks

Keeping feet warm while in the field is always on hunters’ minds. Whether you’re chasing turkeys in spring or ice fishing in winter the MT6 Midweight Merino Socks from Meindl USA will help keep you dry and comfortable. Designed with a two-layer construction that combines merino wool with an organic bioceramic yarn, these soft and comfy socks wick moisture, absorb odor and regulate temperature. Each pair is anatomically designed with a right and left foot to create a secure fit to prevent fabric from wadding up and creating hotspots or blisters. Price: $25

White Duck Hoplite Canvas Duffel

As an avowed over-packer, I appreciate a duffel bag with a seemingly limitless capacity. When preparing for a trip, be it a week-long excursion or a weekend outing, I analyze every possible contingency, pack outfits for each and then throw in backups for each outfit. The Hoplite from White Duck, best known for their excellent canvas tents, has met my packing proclivities with aplomb. There’s nothing fancy about the Hoplite. It’s made of rugged, weatherproof yet lightweight canvas, has carry handles on both sides, and either end comes with a padded shoulder strap. But its materials and construction are excellent, given the price. The Hoplite is available in three sizes: standard (204 liters, 2.4 pounds), large (337 liters, 3 pounds) and extra-large (579 liters, 4.4 pounds). Price: $39–$55—John Taranto

PACT Lite Bathroom Kit

When it comes to pooping outdoors, there are two kinds of people. Those who dig a hole with the heel of their boot, do their business and then bury said business; and those who poop in a bag and carry it out with them. Of those two camps, I am firmly and unapologetically in the former. While the latter is perhaps more admirable, neither is ideal as far as I’m concerned. Enter PACT, a relatively new company committed to environmentally responsible open-air defecation. Their PACT Lite Bathroom Kit comes with an aluminum trowel for digging a hole, water-activated, biodegradable wipes, and mycelium tablets to break down the waste and kill bacteria. The wipes and mushroom tabs fit neatly inside the trowel handle. Price: $35—John Taranto

Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener

There may be smaller, lighter, more compact field sharpeners on the market, but I’ve yet to find one as reliable, long-lasting and versatile as the Guided Filed Sharpener from Work Sharp. Among the sharpening tools included in this 7-inch-long, 4.6-ounce unit are coarse (220-grit) and fine (600-grit) diamond plates, which are held in place by strong magnets; a multi-grit ceramic rod with a groove for sharpening fishhooks; a separate ceramic rod for serrations; and a leather strop. The diamond plates feature 20-degree guides, while the strop has a 25-degree guide for attaining the perfect sharpening angle. There’s even a built-in broadhead wrench hidden under one of the diamond plates. Price: $39.95—John Taranto

Rem Oil Pop-Up Wipes

Make gun-cleaning more convenient with a handy container of Rem Oil wipes. Formulated in 1913, Rem Oil cleans, lubricates and protects firearms by displacing moisture, penetrating metal pores and leaving a durable film to guard against corrosion and wear. The pop-up wipes come in two sizes: a 24-count container of 6 1/2-inch by 4-inch wipes and a 60-count can of 7-inch by 8-inch wipes. The smaller unit is perfect for keeping in a range bag, vehicle or even a pack for quick cleaning in the field. It also makes a great stocking stuffer. Price: $7.99, 24-count package; $13.99, 60-count package—Adam Heggenstaller

CRKT Biwa Fixed

If you ask me, so-called bird-and-trout knives are unfairly typecast. Sure, they’re great for fileting a rainbow or breasting out a grouse, but these handy, typically fixed-blade knives are capable of so much more if given the chance. Whatever your needs, the new full-tang Biwa Fixed from CRKT and designer Alan Folts is an able candidate. Featuring a 3-inch-long blade, it’s an incredibly nimble and lightweight (1.6 ounces) option for countless camp chores. Choose between 12C27 steel and Micarta handle scales or 8Cr13MoV steel paired with G10 scales. The 12C27/Micarta model comes with a stitched black leather sheath with belt loop; the other comes with a thermoplastic sheath and neck lanyard. Price: $48–$60—John Taranto

Poncho Laramie

The Laramie shirt from Poncho combines the look of a traditional buffalo-plaid flannel shirt with Western flare in the form of pearl snaps and subtle styling on the shoulders and pockets. Not only does it look good, it wears great thanks to its performance fabric that’s 99 percent polyester and 1 percent spandex. It’s soft to the touch, moves with you, wicks sweat and dries quickly. A built-in lens cloth on the underside of the upper front-facing and a zippered pocket behind the left breast pocket round out a comfortable, good-looking casual shirt option for the cold-weather months. Price: $94—John Taranto

First Lite Core

The First Lite brand is perhaps best known as a western hunting apparel maker, but in recent years, they have made inroads in the whitetail market. For 2024, they’ve gone all-in with three whitetail-specific kits for early-, mid- and late-season hunting. I’ve been wearing the Core kit, designed for mid-season (20 to 45 degrees), and am impressed with not only how comfortable it keeps me on stand (thanks to just the right amount of PrimaLoft Gold insulation) but also how quiet it is. One particularly cool feature includes the pass-through magnetic pockets in the jacket that offer access to the bib’s muff pocket. Other nice touches include a removable hood, harness tether slit, loops inside the cuffs to attach a bow release and a contoured “archery collar” that stays out of the way when you’re at full draw. Price: $450/bib, $450/jacket, $300/vest—John Taranto

Rocky Talkie Mountain Radio

In remote areas, two-way radios beat phones for reliable, instant communication while hunting. Developed by two rock-climbing friends looking for a radio rugged enough to stand up to their backcountry adventures, the Mountain Radio has impact-resistant armor, a shatterproof screen and an IP56 water-resistance rating. It provides 2 watts of power on the FRS system (the maximum permitted by the FCC without a license) for ranges of up to 35 miles (line of sight), 5 miles (mountains) and 3 miles (wooded areas). A rechargeable 1550 mAh lithium-ion battery serves as the power source and provides more than four days of battery life in temperatures as low as minus-20 degrees Fahrenheit. The Mountain Radio weighs about 6 ounces and comes with a carabiner as well as a retention leash. Price: $110—Adam Heggenstaller

PAKA Hoodie

Price: $139
