Jeder von uns hat mal als Jungjäger angefangen und stand vor der Frage: Welche Ausrüstung brauche ich denn nun wirklich für die Jagd?!
Die Auswahl ist riesig, aber nicht alles bringt wirklich einen Mehrwert. Viel hängt von der Art der Jagd, der Jahreszeit, den finanziellen Möglichkeiten und dem persönlichen Geschmack ab. Hier unsere "Klassiker" als Empfehlung für den Jungjäger.

The WALDKAUZ Forend Wrap
A successful and highly useful combination: A forend pad is designed for quiet placement of the firearm and prevents recoil that can occur when the rifle's butt rests on a hard surface. But the WALDKAUZ Forend Pad offers even more. In addition to two cartridge loops on one side, it features a zippered pocket on the other side, which contains a small yet highly helpful optics cloth. This ensures that the rifle scope or binoculars can be quickly wiped clean of raindrops or dirt when needed. The pad is crafted from wool felt and leather. To securely attach it to the rifle, the two elastic straps can be opened with a Velcro closure. This has the advantage over closed elastic bands that you can remove the forend pad from the rifle at any time without having to remove the rifle sling. Additionally, the interior is equipped with a non-slip layer.

Felt cartridge case for rifle "Büchse, 5er"
This compact cartridge case for five rifle cartridges is the more manageable alternative to our classic felt cartridge case, which is more spacious and available in various ammunition combinations, holding up to 7 rifle cartridges. Due to the high demand for a dedicated rifle cartridge case and numerous customer inquiries for a more compact version, we now offer a 5-round variant. It is closed with a sturdy leather strap by sliding the lid of the case underneath it. A leather belt loop provides the option to carry the ammunition on a belt or, if desired, integrate it into our Modulus hunting belt system.
Fit of our cartridge loops
With few exceptions, we work with three loop diameters that cover almost all common calibers. Here is a range from-to with typical calibers that can be compared well with your own caliber:Small loop (small caliber): from .22 lfb to .222 or 5.6x50Used, for example, in the cartridge cases "Drilling" as the smallest loop (e.g., for .22 Win. Mag., .22 Hornet, .222 Rem.)Medium loop (large bullet): .222 or 5.6x50 to .338 Win MagSuitable for the "normal" hunting calibers commonly used in Germany (e.g., 5.6x50 R Mag., 7x65 R, 8x57 IS, .308 Win, .30-06, .375 H&H, 7mm Remington Mag., etc.)Large loop (shotshell): from Cal. 20 to Cal. 12Caliber 20 fits a bit looser than calibers 16 and 12 but is also compatible.

The WALDKAUZ hunting license holder made of genuine cowhide leather
At various fairs such as the Jagd & Hund, we were frequently asked if we also offer a hunting license holder in the typical WALDKAUZ look. And finally, we can say, "Yes, we do!" It took us a long time to find the right leather because that was crucial to us. It had to be fine but robust, not too thick, and a little rugged. With the cowhide leather we have chosen, we have found a material that fully meets our expectations. When opened, it provides two compartments with transparent, fine-mesh netting for the hunting license and firearms license. Of course, you can also store additional documents such as the hunting area access permit or the driven hunt proof among the papers. All edges are neatly stitched with a decorative seam using high-quality craftsmanship and processed to the usual WALDKAUZ standards.With the WALDKAUZ hunting license holder, you always have your valuable hunting documents securely with you. The WALDKAUZ hunting license holder is also an excellent gift for passing the hunting exam, as a token of appreciation for an invitation to a driven hunt, or simply as a birthday or Christmas gift.

The hunting backpack "Husarenstück" made of loden and waxed cotton
There are various demands that a hunter can have for their hunting backpack. In addition to our small loden backpacks and the two larger backpack models Capreolus and Cervus, we have now implemented another concept. With this backpack, we have achieved our personal masterpiece, which is why we named it as such.
The most versatile hunting backpack in our range
As you can see from the length of the description, we have incorporated more functionality into this backpack than in any of our previous ones: 1 main compartment, 10 additional pockets (expandable to 12 with the hip belt), Modulus cartridge case attachment, ergonomic and length-adjustable shoulder straps, removable chest strap, removable and adjustable hip belt, padded back, rain-protected main lid, and extendable side pocket lids made of waxed cotton, straps on both sides, double waxed bottom to protect against moisture from below, slim and tall shape with an additional zipper access in the lower area, and last but not least, a truly successful design that makes the Husarenstück an extremely versatile hunting backpack. But let's take it step by step...
No fear of bad weather!
This hunting backpack is made of loden but has been supplemented with English waxed cotton in crucial areas that are particularly exposed to rain. The lid of the backpack, as the main surface area exposed to precipitation, is entirely made of waxed cotton. The four exterior equipment pockets each have a rain flap that can be pulled out from the pocket in wet weather, serving as an awning or canopy over the opening of the respective pocket. Additionally, the bottom section above the loden is also covered with a layer of waxed cotton. This not only protects against moisture from below but also provides additional durability.
Sleek, compact, and extremely versatile
The basic shape of the "Husarenstück" hunting backpack is slim and tall, similar to a trekking backpack. This allows for easy passage through hunting blinds and ensures that there is no parachute-like effect when navigating through rough terrain. The compact shape actually appears less voluminous than it is, as the main compartment alone offers a capacity of over 36 liters, not including the many exterior pockets!
Pockets and compartments wherever you look
The main compartment of the medium-sized loden backpack is very deep, measuring 60 cm. To easily access items at the bottom without having to unpack everything, there is an additional zipper opening in the lower third of the front of the backpack, providing access to this area. The variety of pockets is so extensive that one should carefully consider how to distribute their equipment and decide what needs quick access and what is rarely or never needed. However, there is a well-thought-out place for everything.There are two exterior pockets on each side, one lower and one higher, suitable for accommodating cartridge cases, game retrieval hooks, water bottles, or spotting scopes. Additionally, there are two tension straps on each side that allow for securing longer objects. For example, a folded stalking stick or a lightweight camera tripod can be placed in the lower pocket and secured with the upper strap. A rolled-up rain jacket can be inserted under the straps on the outside. The possibilities for using these straps are diverse. By the way, we also have a few ideas for what else they could be used for.On the front of the backpack, there are two open, slim, and elongated compartments with openings protected by the waxed lid of the main compartment. They are suitable for items such as a hunting knife, longer flashlights, provisions, or small items that need to be easily accessible. Inside the main lid made of waxed cotton, there is another storage space in the form.In the interior lined with pocket fabric, the cheerful organization continues with accommodation options: A flat zipper compartment on the inner back panel holds the hunting license and its case, and also provides enough space to store a reflective vest or a few plastic bags for small hunting regulations or veterinary samples.On the inside of the side panels of the backpack, there are additional open compartments for smaller items that shouldn't be loose in the main compartment. At the inner front of the backpack, you'll find the familiar closable hook-and-loop attachment for our Modulus cartridge cases, as always conveniently located in the upper area of the backpack's main compartment.In addition to the main compartment, there are a total of 10 additional pockets and compartments for storing hunting utensils. If this storage and organization space is still not enough, you can also attach one of our Modulus system bags to each side of the later-described hip belt, providing additional space.
Ease of use as expected from a hunting backpack
The main compartment is closed with an interior drawstring that "closes the bag". The top lid, positioned above the opening, is secured with an adjustable acetal hook in a leather loop. This allows for easy and silent opening, and it can be adjusted when storing a sweater under the lid. The lower end of the closure strap terminates in two loops, which can be used to attach additional items, for example, using carabiners.
Optimal ergonomics, especially for long distances and heavy loads
The back panel is padded with an elaborately quilted filling, making it particularly comfortable to carry even on longer distances. The wide straps are made of nubuck leather and lined with 3mm thick wool felt. The ergonomic shape adapts perfectly to the wearer's shoulder and chest area, and the strap length can be easily adjusted using ladder sliders. On top of the straps, there are leather rolls on both sides, serving as anti-slip protection for the rifle sling.At chest level, there are two pairs of loops at different heights, where a detachable chest strap is attached. This adjustable strap allows for optimal distribution of pressure on the shoulders, back, and chest, and it can be quickly adjusted while wearing the backpack. The fact that it is detachable has an additional advantage: when not in use, the strap can be released from its clip and stored in one of the many backpack pockets, preventing it from dangling in front of the body and causing inconvenience.In addition to the shoulder straps, the "Husarenstück" hunting backpack is equipped with a continuously adjustable and also detachable hip belt. This belt shifts a significant portion of the backpack's weight onto the hips, enabling fatigue-free carrying over long distances—an established principle in hiking and trekking backpacks. The hip belt is padded with nubuck leather and felt, ensuring even distribution around the hip bones. It is adjustable in length on both sides (up to approximately 130cm) and secured with a high-quality quick-release buckle. The exposed part of the belt webbing above the padding can optionally be equipped with various elements from our Modulus waist bag range. When the hip belt is not needed temporarily, it can be easily detached and reattached within minutes when needed. A sturdy leather handle at the top of the shoulder straps allows for easy hand-carrying of the backpack.
Considerations compared to our other hunting backpacks
While the "Husarenstück" hunting backpack has many commendable features, we believe in providing an honest and full assessment. In comparison to our other models such as the "Capreolus" or the "Cervus," there are a couple of things to consider when choosing the right backpack model. The waxed cotton material and the buckle on the hip belt are not as silent as the noiseless connections found on our other hunting backpacks. However, with a little extra care and by sliding the plastic buckles under the initial leather straps of the belt at the start of a hunting session to prevent them from rattling on the stand floor, there won't be much room for error. But for those seeking a solution that minimizes any potential noise, it might be worth taking another look at the "Cervus" hunting backpack.

Loden hideout blanket with versatile applications
The special feature of the Waldkauz hideout blanket is the combination of loden blanket and weather cape. With a concealed zipper sewn in, the comfortable blanket for hideouts can be quickly transformed into a cape that can be worn open or closed, providing an optimal climate for the hunter.In typical Waldkauz fashion, this high-quality loden blanket goes beyond its normal function as a warm blanket for hideouts. We have added a special twist to it: A concealed two-way zipper has been integrated from one edge to the middle area. For example, you can open it from the middle and wear it as a closed weather cape or pull it over your head as a weather cape. If it gets too warm under the extra fluffy loden, you can also open the zipper from the edge of the blanket to any desired extent and have a breezy cloak. During hideouts, you have the choice of whether to wrap the hideout blanket around your body or wear it as a classic weather cape. You will quickly appreciate the advantages of the cape variation during stalking, duck hunting, or on the driven hunt stand. And if it gets too warm during stalking, a nearly silent pull of the zipper quickly opens the cape, allowing fresh air in. Additionally, it eliminates the need to store a bulky hideout blanket in your hunting backpack or bag. The hideout blanket's versatility in many situations even replaces the hunting jacket or loden coat or complements these garments as an additional "layering" option.The hideout blanket is made from the finest loden in our workshop. For this 100% virgin wool product, the surface is fluffed up to create a softer texture. This not only makes the blanket softer but also provides better insulation by creating a better air cushion. Its generous size of 200 x 150 cm allows for comfortable wrapping and ample coverage of the body when used as a weather cape or poncho.Of course, it is also wonderfully suitable as a picnic blanket. With the optional leather carrying strap, it can be conveniently secured and transported. It is a matter of course for us to handcraft the loden blanket and pay special attention to the quality of craftsmanship.

Thick, soft seat felt for warm hideouts on cold driven hunting seats and hard tower blinds

This robust and untreated, 12mm thick wool felt made of 100% sheep's wool, measuring approximately 30x40 cm, provides a wonderfully soft and warming base for long hideouts. The edges are reinforced with sturdy stitching to prevent fraying over time. With the carefully sewn leather strap on the side, the felt can be rolled up and securely fastened, making it easier to transport or store in a backpack. By the way, this seat felt is not only suitable for hunting but also provides comfortable knee support for gardening, picnicking, or taking a break during hikes. Even on the playground, young mothers will appreciate having a bit of seating comfort on the park bench.

The silent universal binocular protection
Those who venture outdoors in rain and snow are familiar with the problem: Just when a quick look through the binoculars is needed, one discovers that raindrops have collected on the eyepieces, hindering our view and potentially affecting our hunting luck. Traditional protective caps provide a solution, if they stay in place properly. However, they have a significant drawback: When looking through the binoculars, they often hang in front of the mouth or nose. Exhaled breath, particularly in cold weather, swirls around and causes the eyepieces to fog up. The Waldkauz binocular protection puts an end to this annoyance. The eyepieces are covered by a soft leather flap, providing optimal protection against all types of precipitation. A thin lead hem is incorporated at the outer end of the protective flap, securely holding it over the eyepiece. With a small flick of the wrist, the hem swings forward, silently uncovering the optics without having to take the hand off the binoculars. The Universal model of the eyepiece protection is held in place by two elastic straps that are pulled over the eyepieces. Universal Binocular Protection For all hunting binoculars that do not fit the other two models, there is a universally adaptable protective flap that is attached to the eyepieces using two rubber loops, making it suitable for any binocular design. It is suitable, for example, for the EL series by Swarovski and some Minox binoculars that have a second hinge in the objective lens area, making the use of the Deluxe model impossible, as well as for all Porro prism binoculars (the classic field glasses), such as the Swarovski Habicht or the Night Hunter by Steiner.We are happy to provide advice and assistance: Phone: 02131-547553 or via email at post@waldkauz.net

WALDKAUZ Shotgun Cartridge Bag
During an eventful shotgun hunt, it often becomes disorganized: more and more empty shells spread out in jacket pockets or the classic small game hunting bag, making it difficult to find fresh ammunition. With the WALDKAUZ Shotgun Cartridge Bag, that's a thing of the past because we have a dual system! When closed, the bag appears like a normal, small game hunting bag. However, when opened with a pull on the closure strap, the uniqueness of our latest development is revealed: the bag unfolds, and immediately twenty-four shotgun shells are fanned out in three neat rows, readily accessible. The spent cartridges land in the underlying loden sack, which securely holds the discarded shells with a light elastic drawstring. Cleaning up after the hunt is also easier because full and spent ammunition are already cleanly separated. The bag is made of wool felt, loden, and leather. Even in the open position, the lid acts as a canopy over the ammunition, protecting it from precipitation. The ergonomic shape and placement of the carrying strap promote a comfortable fit, even after hours of use.

Stylish protection for your shotgun
The WALDKAUZ shotgun case combines felt and leather to create a particularly beautiful and sturdy protection for your valuable shotgun, whether it's a side-by-side shotgun or a classic over-and-under shotgun. A robust felt encloses the firearm and ensures sufficient protection against external influences. All areas of the case that endure a lot of stress are reinforced with strong leather. For example, the lower end of the closure lid is completely covered in leather, the insertion edge where the rifle's sling swivels are pulled along is reinforced with leather, and the tip of the case is also covered with leather to compensate for the friction of the muzzle. This reinforcement is particularly important for shotguns with interchangeable chokes in the muzzle.
Convenient to handle
The WALDKAUZ shotgun case is equipped with a leather shoulder strap and a leather handle, allowing for comfortable carrying over the shoulder or in the hand. The closure consists of an inner and an outer felt/leather lid, which is secured with a strap and a buckle made of solid brass. The double fold ensures secure storage of the firearm inside.
Eye-catching
The combination of felt and leather, along with the typical WALDKAUZ design of our shotgun case, as well as the consistently high-quality craftsmanship, make this protective cover a particularly valuable piece of equipment. You will receive the case in a standard size that fits most common shotguns. You can choose between grey and brown wool felt made of 100% pure new wool.
For hunting and the shooting range
The shotgun case is suitable for both hunting and trips to the shooting range. Even a modern skeet or trap shotgun looks great in our case, it doesn't always have to be the classic over-and-under shotgun with an English stock that is stored in a stylish bag.

Living up to its name: The "Rauhbein" hunting trousers
Now that's a robust piece! Our new 3-season hunting trousers, the "Rauhbein," are made from a strong 216g/m2 polycotton fabric, which becomes a sturdy and durable trouser fabric through a strong (and PFC-free) wax impregnation, allowing the wearer to tackle spring, summer, autumn, and even warmer winter days. The cut of the trousers is inspired by summer trousers and also features the typical patch front pockets, double-layered and ergonomically shaped knee area for better freedom of movement, as well as an internal knife pocket on the back right leg. The rough fabric not only makes it stable and resistant but also gives the hunting trousers a unique "rough and tough" charm – hence the name.Waxed fabrics naturally don't match the silence of loden. The "Rauhbein" is not silent due to its wax impregnation. However, the wax softens with body heat when worn. If you are particularly sensitive to noise, you should take this into consideration. Personally, we have been wearing the "Rauhbein" since its first prototype for over a year during stalking, hideouts, and shotgun hunting, and we have only had positive experiences with the material.By the way, we are well aware that the new spelling has eliminated the "h" from the word "rau." Not everything new is always good. Therefore, out of aesthetic disobedience, we take the freedom to bring it back as we please. After all, it's our product name, and we can write it as we like, period.
Polycotton: Why we love it
In addition to our pure natural products such as loden, felt, leather, and cotton, we discovered polycotton for ourselves several years ago. Not only because it is considered one of the finer fabrics among modern synthetic and blended fabrics, but also because its properties are perfect where the natural fibers we use have their limitations. Poly-cotton is a blend of polyester and cotton, combining the best properties of both worlds. With the cotton content, which is usually spun around a polyester core in the outer area of the yarn, the outdoor fabric has a pleasant feel that is hard to distinguish from pure cotton. In relation to material thickness and weight, the fabric is very stable and durable due to this blended fiber and has good UV resistance. It absorbs less water when wet than, for example, pure untreated cotton and also dries significantly faster. In hot temperatures, the material has a cooling effect. After a machine wash at a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius (otherwise, the wax coating will be lost), the trousers may initially appear slightly stained. This is because the wax layer was subjected to varying degrees of stress in the machine. No need to worry: Just iron over it with a steam iron, and everything will be evenly distributed again. If you're not the type who irons their (hunting) trousers, you can simply leave it as it is. The body heat will even it out again.
What matters to us: Material sustainability
The synthetic fiber component used for the polycotton in this product is made from recycled polyester. The wax impregnation is free from environmentally harmful PFCs and can be easily renewed at home when the impregnation eventually wears off. However, one of the most important arguments for sustainability is different: The "Rauhbein" is not a pair of trousers to be worn a few times; it quickly becomes the favorite trousers that are worn so often that they are "worn out" rather than ending up in the discard pile. And nothing is more sustainable than using things for as long as they last!Oh yes, before we forget: The "Rauhbein" is "Made in EU."
What to expect from waxed fabrics
There is a lot of half-knowledge and some misunderstandings about waxed fabrics, also referred to as waxed cotton, wax cotton, or waxed polycotton. We explain what these fabrics can do in more detail on our STEINKAUZ-Blog.
Almost like tailored: The adjustable fit of the "Rauhbein"
The trousers are delivered with extra-long legs. This is to ensure a perfectly fitting pair of trousers because there's nothing more annoying than trousers that are too short or too long. Additionally, the trousers have a center seam with a wide seam allowance, allowing for easy adjustment of the waist circumference. This way, the fit can be perfectly tailored to individual needs at a trusted alteration studio for a small fee. Besides, by doing so, you support the local economy and get to enjoy a personalized piece.
To ensure a good fit: Proper size determination
Waist sizeTake a measuring tape and measure your waist circumference first. Measure on the line where you wear your belt. The measuring tape should be loose and without tension. You can wear a shirt underneath as it will later be tucked into the trousers. If you don't have a measuring tape handy, a string that you can mark and then measure with a ruler will do.

This way, you always have the right weapon with the right ammunition at hand in no time.

Whether on the hunt or at the shooting range, you are well equipped for a safe shot with the large pockets for shotgun ammunition and the leather shoulder patch.

And since loden is very durable, you can use your loden hunting vest in various ways. Small stains can simply be brushed off. The vest features a detachable collar made of genuine red fox fur. The foxes used for our collars come exclusively from hunting and are not farm-raised foxes. We work closely with German tanners and fur traders who receive pelts from hunters in their region.Please note: Each fur collar is unique, and just as each fox has individual fur coloring, our collars have a wide range of colors. As standard, we deliver the hunting vest with a reddish collar - for darker collars (see photo), please inquire via email.

The alternative to regular hunting bags and hunting backpacks
This voluminous hip bag or belt bag made of sturdy mountain loden and felt provides ample space for a lot of hunting accessories during stalking and long hikes. In pockets of various sizes, you can neatly organize all your hunting essentials and have everything readily accessible. With a wide hip belt measuring approximately 77 cm in width and 18 cm in height, to which all the pockets are attached, the hip bag can be comfortably worn even when fully loaded. Unlike a hunting backpack, the weight is distributed on the hips rather than the shoulders, allowing for fatigue-free carrying, even over extended periods of time. The practical and exceptional hunting bag is quickly and easily opened and closed with a snap closure. The cinch straps enable you to adjust the hip bag to optimal tension immediately after putting it on, ensuring a stable and comfortable fit. You can attach the bag to the back of your body or, for example, wear it in front of your stomach during a sit-and-wait hunt. While seated on a raised hide, you not only have a warming felt belt in front of your stomach but also all your hunting accessories within easy reach.
Suitable not only as a hunting bag but also for hikers and dog training
The bag is also highly suitable as a luggage and provisions bag for hikers, as well as an equipment bag for dog training. With its many different compartments, you can keep all your accessories, such as dog food, tracking lines, whistle, and other items, neatly organized.
Versatile and well-organized
A flat zippered compartment close to the body is designed to hold the hunting license and other documents, and it can also accommodate other flat objects such as a signaling hat band or a high-visibility vest for driven hunts. Above that, there are two additional pockets. The main compartment provides the most space, measuring 26 x 16 x 7 cm. Above it is a slightly smaller compartment that not only has room for other items but also houses the hook-and-loop attachment for the proven WALDKAUZ cartridge case system, into which our loden cartridge cases can be hung. The cartridge cases can easily be removed from the hook-and-loop strip at home and stored, along with the ammunition, in the gun cabinet. On either side of the main pockets, there are two more pockets measuring 9 x 16 x 6 cm, where you can store items such as gloves, mobile phones, or other accessories. On the left exterior, there is a pocket measuring 9 x 11 x 3 cm, which is closed with a leather strap and brass knob, and on the right exterior, there is an open compartment held together by an elastic band. The base of the hip bag is formed by a wide belt made of wool felt, which provides warmth and fits like a kidney belt around the hip.
