Split it into what goes in the woods with you and what stays at camp. Most forgotten items are camp items, because everyone packs the rifle and nobody packs the can opener.

| Paperwork | Hunting license, tags, landowner permission if needed, a pen or zip ties for the tag |
| Clothing | Base layers, insulated layers, rain shell, blaze orange where your state requires it, extra socks, gloves, hat |
| In the woods | Rifle or bow, ammunition or arrows, binoculars, rangefinder, knife, headlamp, hand warmers, water, snacks |
| Field dressing | Gloves, game bags, drag rope, zip bags for the heart and liver, paper towels |
| Camp | Shelter, sleeping bag rated for the cold, stove and fuel, lantern, cooler, water jugs, first aid kit, trash bags |
| Morale | Coffee, a way to brew it, and something hot for the stand |
What gear should go in a waterproof case at deer camp?
Anything that stops working when wet or gets ruined by a hard knock. That means optics, the rangefinder, batteries, your phone, the license and tags, and the first aid kit.
Truck beds, tent floors, and ATV racks are where gear goes to get soaked and crushed. A hard case with a seal keeps it dry and in one place, so you are not digging for tags in the dark.

Shop the #184 →How do you make coffee at deer camp?
Boil water on the camp stove and pick your method. Cowboy coffee in a pot works and has fed deer camps for a hundred years. An AeroPress makes a cleaner cup in about two minutes with no grounds in your teeth.
Brew it before you walk in and pour it into an insulated tumbler. A hot cup in the stand at first light is worth the extra five minutes.
What coffee should you bring to deer camp?
Something strong for 0400. Buy it ground so there is no grinder to pack.
| Roast | For |
|---|---|
| MOAB | Opening morning. 100% Robusta, about twice the caffeine of regular coffee. |
| Cavalry | A bold dark roast with extra caffeine from the Robusta in the blend |
| Fire Watch | The all-day pot around the fire after the hunt |
MOAB Double Caffeinated Medium Roast
What we sell. 100% Robusta, roasted medium, about twice the caffeine of regular coffee. Almond, chocolate, and bourbon on the bag.
Why it helps you. One cup at 0400 does the job of two, and you are not stuck at the pot while the sun comes up.
How to buy. $16.99. Subscriptions take 30% off the first order automatically, no code. One time orders take 15% with WELCOME15.
Shop MOAB →Questions people actually ask
What should I bring to deer camp?
License and tags, layered clothing with blaze orange where required, your rifle or bow and ammunition, optics, a knife, field dressing gear, a headlamp, a first aid kit, shelter and a cold-rated sleeping bag, a stove, food, water, and coffee.
What do people forget at deer camp?
Camp items, not hunting items. Extra socks, the can opener, lantern fuel, trash bags, the tag pen, and a way to make coffee are the classics.
How do you keep gear dry at deer camp?
Keep optics, electronics, batteries, paperwork, and first aid in a waterproof hard case. Soft bags soak through in a wet truck bed or on a tent floor. An IP67 case keeps them sealed.
What is the best coffee for hunting?
Something strong you can brew fast. A high caffeine coffee like MOAB gets you moving at 0400, brewed in an AeroPress or as cowboy coffee and carried into the stand in an insulated tumbler.
Do I need blaze orange for deer hunting?
Most states require it for firearms deer season, but the amount and the seasons vary. Check your state wildlife agency's regulations before opening day.
