Re: Whats in your daypack
I have the following in my day pack while hunting.
Hunting license and species tags
small tool roll with knife and sharpenig tools
small quartering hatchet
gps and spare batteries
headlamp
gloves and a couple plastic bags, twist ties
eye and electronic ear pro
water and food/snacks
small first aid kit
small tin of fire starting items plus backup lighter
toilet paper
smaller 7x35 binos
small range finder
drag rope and some para cord
mora knife strapped to the outer side
exrta wool gloves
spare ammo
rain gear if in not already wearing it
If it's not hunting season, I won't have the knife roll or hunting license and tags and likely more water and food. If out for more of a longer hike I'll have more overnight gear like a tarp and bivy sac and I keep a thick wool blanket and more rope in my truck along with a bigger first aid kit, tools, dedicated truck flashlight, 20L gas can etc etc. I always have a flashlight in my pocket and a small fixed blade knife on my belt most times I'll have a shotgun either on me or in the truck. If I think about it I'll have my chainsaw in the truck as well.

Forgot compass...one of the best things about using a compass is it makes you more aware of your surroundings and landmarks etc...knowing natural navigation techniques is also beneficial...

Re: Whats in your daypack
See lots of people here with paracord in pack. Aside from building a shelter and hanging an animal - what other things you guys use it for?
Re: Whats in your daypack
Use it to braid belts, slings and stuff when lost waiting to be rescued.
