Packing out Quarters--What are your must have items?
Sometimes you can't drive to your kill site and have to pack out your animal. Here are ten items I carry. I go into detail at the link below. What do you carry for quartering and packing out and why?
1. Havalon Piranta knife
2. SOG hatchet
3. Pillow Cases
4. MR Crew Cab pack
5. Latex Gloves
6. Hand Sanitizer
7. Parachord
8. Zip Locks
9. Medical Kit with skin closure options, (I cut myself occasionally)
10. Head lamp
I'm really interested in getting better at this, and want to pick you guys brains about it.

All I need to get an elk out is:
2 knives (Havalon and Case Trapper)
6 game bags
parachute cord
small first aid kit
pack frame
I haven't packed out an elk bone in a long time. I use the gutless method and bone mine where they hit the ground. I always have a packframe with me with a small daypack on it with my regular hunting kit.

I second the Havalon, used it for the first time this year, wow! Never go in the sticks without again. Also recommend BVA pac bags, and I use a Cutco as my secondary blade. After that, I highly recommend mules

Must haves... A knife, some bags and my backpack.
The Piranta is awesome for skinning, but I still like a regular knife for deboning. I also like a little pocket sharpener, gloves make clean up easier, I like a emergency blanket to use as a staging area to set the meat on while I'm getting it ready to put in the bags. I like the Caribou brand bags the best. Really like the load shelf on my new Stone Glacier backpack.
