If you cut from the inside out, knife blade on inside surface, you don't cut hair and it doesn't get allover everything. If you slide some cardboard down in front of the goodies you don't accidently cut anything gross and keep everything clean. I do mine at the house so maybe it seems more convenient for me but you could have this in your pack too I guess and its light.

It cuts from the inside and NEVER gets plugged with hair like traditional gut hooks tend to do. Had one for a dozen or more years and would never use a tradional gut hook or mess around with cardboard...

Same. I do cut the hide back several inches to either side before I open the cavity. I do the same except the part about holding the tip. I just run the knife , blade up, between the skin and belly muscle then peel it to the sides a bit before opening the cavity. A friend bought me a nice knife with a gut hook once. I used it on one deer just to tell him I did. I didn't like the hook at all, it kept getting hung up while I was detaching organs, esophagus, etc.from inside the chest cavity. Eh...wot?
