Bakcou Insulated Game Bag
Elk hunting involves bringing home copious amounts of meat to be processed, and that meat needs to get from point A, the field, to point B, the freezer, all while remaining cold. The Bakcou Insulated Game Bag is an oversized soft cooler with a 60” zipper across the top. This last fall I drew my first elk tag in Nevada and was stuck in the dilemma of what to do about a big enough cooler to transport the 215 lbs of meat home. The coolers I have weren’t anywhere close to big enough, and the idea of buying a 110 qt cooler that will take up space in the garage 99.9% of the time didn’t excite me.
I saw a post on Instagram with someone lying down inside one of these coolers and I knew it was my solution. It weighs 9 lbs and when I am not using it I can roll it up into a 2’ x 1’ cylinder shape. It has 2 drain holes located in the bottom corner to prevent water from pooling up, and four handles for getting it up onto the tailgate as a team. So far it has worked well for me without any issues, and has helped me clear up some space in my garage.

Price - $229
