What is field dresser?

A field dresser is a portable kit used for dressing and preparing game animals for consumption in the field. The kit typically includes knives, sharpeners, scissors, and other tools required for skinning, gutting, and preparing the meat. Field dressers are commonly used by hunters and anglers who harvest wild game and fish. These kits come in various sizes and configurations, ranging from simple compact kits to larger, more comprehensive sets. A good field dresser is an essential tool for anyone who plans to hunt or fish in remote areas or who desires to self-process their own meat.
