I've often hunted far from the nearest gravel road. Necessity causes me to skin and quarter the animals in the field. I cut out the backstraps and bone out the front quarters with my knife. Then I lay the hind quarters and boned meat on the hide (hair side down). Lastly I tie the hide into a pack using para-cord and drag it out. Far less effort and weight than trying to drag the animal out in one piece!
I own a couple of fixed blade Frost knives, too. The sheathes were cheezy so I had a local harness shop craft custom leather sheathes for me.
