Whats in your daypack

[Bag1]

Curious as to what in your pack while out hunting
in mine I usually have the following,
some emerg supplies, fire starter material, fatwood a couple bics
extra AA batteries for the gps
local maps,
wound dressings,
water, snack foods, a couple meal pouches
TP cause you never know
batteries for the delorme,
rubber gloves,
knife, gut hook, bone saw,
flash light

I've got all those plus some rope, extra straps, hatchet, 6x6 tarp, and yes the TP has been used more than once. The hard thing is to be prepared but not to load yourself up so much you get tired just hiking in. I just made a hike today 8-3:30ish and did not want to be packing any more than what I had. Water, I think, is the heaviest thing you will pack, besides an animal.

My hunting partner doesn't carry a water filter, or the trail cam bag, but does carry a stove, brush axe, and a tarp

Water, life straw, first aid kit, paracord, gps and headlamp and flashlight and spare batteries, compass and whistle, knife, sharpener, gloves, pillowcase game bags, lighter, Firestarter, snacks, spare clothes as per weather.
Basically like when hiking if you get lost and have to spend the night you're not screwed, plus stuff to process an animal and get at least a quarter back to the vehicle.

Water, I think, is the heaviest thing you will pack, besides an animal.

1kg (2.2lbs) per Liter. Some area you can carry very little, if it's plentiful. Sometimes you can't carry enough.
