Top 10 Hunting Essentials to Be on the Lookout for in 2025

The 2025 hunting season is shaping up to be more mobile, tech-driven, and efficient than ever before. Whether you're covering miles of backcountry or commuting to a stand on private land, your gear matters. Success in the field isn’t just about skill—it’s about preparation and smart tools.

Here are the top 10 hunting essentials serious outdoorsmen are using in 2025, built for stealth, stamina, and results.

1. Electric Hunting eBike

An eBike like the Grolar changes the game for how you enter and exit a hunt. You can:

• Access spots miles deeper than on foot
• Increase stealth capabilities by eliminating footsteps
• Haul camp and meat in a single trip
• Save energy for the shot—not the approach

What You’re Really Getting

Before diving into the gear list, let’s settle the big question: What makes a purpose-built hunting eBike like the Birch Grolar different from a standard eBike?

The Birch Grolar was made for hunters, ranchers, and landowners who rely on their gear to get in and out safely—and sometimes haul 100+ lbs of meat back out.

2. Thermal Monocular or Scope

Perfect for glassing hillsides at dusk, tracking wounded game, or avoiding predators in the dark. The best models in 2025 feature:

• HD thermal imaging
• Fast refresh rate
• Battery-efficient designs

3. Hunting GPS App

Don’t hunt blind. Use apps like onX Hunt or HuntStand for:

• Property boundary alerts
• Offline access
• Pinning rubs, scrapes, and travel corridors
• Real-time GPS tracking

4. Compact Shooting Rest

Ultra-light bipods or monopods make prone or seated shots easier and more stable, especially at longer ranges or with crosswind.

5. Field Dressing Kit

2025 kits feature:

• Replaceable blade knives (Havalon-style)
• Game-cleaning gloves
• Bone saw
• Blood-proof stuff sacks for packing meat on a trailer or rack

6. Layered Weather Apparel

Modern kits are built around silent materials and quick-dry layers:

• Base: Merino wool
• Mid: Insulated vest or fleece
• Outer: Waterproof/breathable camo shell

7. Tree Saddle System

For whitetail hunters, saddle systems remain the lightest and most mobile elevated hunting option—especially on public land.

8. Solar Power Bank

Needed for charging:

• Trail cameras
• GPS
• Phones or two-way radios
• eBike accessories (lights, displays)

9. Game Bags

Don't haul meat loose—opt for breathable, antimicrobial game bags with UV protection. Some are now treated for odor resistance and mold control.

10. Folding Cargo Trailer

Heavy hauls? Use a rugged bike trailer designed for the job. The Birch Cargo Trailer is a must-have add-on for eBike hunters:

• 160lb hauling capacity
• Steel frame folds down flat
• Quick-attach system for rapid setup
• Perfect for hauling meat, tents, packs, or bait buckets

Paired with the Grolar, it turns your eBike into a silent, mobile base camp.

Final Thoughts: Build Your 2025 Loadout the Right Way

The most successful hunters in 2025 won’t be carrying the most gear—they’ll be carrying the smartest gear. If you want to cover more terrain, stay longer, and recover more game with less fatigue, start with a solid foundation: the right bike, the right load system, and dependable field tools.

With the Birch Grolar and Birch Cargo Trailer, you’ll be ready to hunt harder and pack out smarter this season.
