A good boy scout always comes prepared....you guys all forgot to list the Trojans...you just never know when you'll be called upon to be prepared.

Wonder if "The Walking Slaughterhouse " had any on his "Epic" sheep hunt?

[Weatherby Fan]

I use a Dwight Schuh/Coleman backpack as my day pack,it has a nylon external frame,could use it for a 2-3day backpack hunt also.
-I keep 9 shells on the stock of my rifle and 3 in the gun so no need to pack spare shells in my daypack.

[Jagermeister]

I have a large Cabelas guide fanny pack. To this I have added a Buddy Lok knife and flashlight holder and a Buddy Lok padded GPS holder as well.

Into this goes;
GPS
Small pair of binoculars
TP
Small drawstring garbage bag and 1 med size ziplock bag.
Flashlight and folding knife
Small First Aid kit and small snap-lid case with ibuprofen
Space blanket
Filled water bottle
Bore snake and bore light
Accessories for walking stick
Magnesium block and striker for fire starting
Reflector vest
Roll of clear hockey tape and flagging tape
Blue nitrite gloves and regular pair of light cotton gloves (sometimes an insulated pair too)
Licenses and tags
~ 25’ of corded rope (not poly 3 strand twisted)
Spot emergency locator
Bear spray canister
Buck 105 knife and sheath
Small ziplock bag with almonds and dried fruit and a couple protein energy bars
Honing stone
Bullets and magazine
And a compass
Small headlamp
2 AA batteries

The bag has 3 adjustable tie-down straps on the top and depending, on season, I might have the gaiters strapped down, good shelf for packing the jacket when you get too hot. And for sure, there is a Cabelas collapsible walking stick parked there also and with the Vee, it serves as a rifle rest.

I rarely leave home without my Pentax RZ10 and Leatherman Blast on the belt.

All of this scales in at 15 lbs.

One thing that I don't have but am going to get is some coagulating powder for the first aid kit.

[The Dude]

Where do you get the coagulating powder?
Funny how few people mention bullets, but I guess that and tags are a given.
I forgot headlamp and spare batts and trail mix too.
No wonder the damn thing's so heavy.
I might also add water purification tabs, in case I get lost, but this is never gonna happen, right? Right?

I like to keep my daypack simple. Flint, bullets, knife and tags. Maybe something to snack on like some cookies.

[cariboo crawler]

Anytime I carry a valid tag I have my hunting day pack in the truck and I cycle different items of clothing through depending on the season.
These are always in it,
para cord
compass
knife & stone
matches
survival blanket
bottle of water X2
granola bar
small emergency kit
snare wire

I'm sure that I have missed a number of things, tired.

Jason

thats pretty much what I take add a 9x12 tarp (they weigh nothing and when folded take up no space at all . Instant shelter . And fire starter

[cariboo crawler]

Way too much........

Some would think that the smart thing to do would be to go well prepared.

It's all bs I tell you. Just take a knife, a rope and a bottle of whisky. If you can't solve any problem with one of those three, then you'll never make it as a bushman. Lol.

Sounds to me like if you get lost you just get drunk and hang yourself!!!!
Just kidding.

I use the removeable top part of my frame pack's bag. Sometimes I mount it on my frame pack without the big section of the bag if I'm hunting rougher county. If I'm hiking from the truck for most of, or all day then this is what is in my pack. The pack stays in the truck if I'm near it.

Game bags
havalon knife and blades (in case I get something worth mounting)
reusable water bottle(s)
food (snacks and mountain house or sub)
tea
brunton stove (like the msr pocket rocket but it lights on its own)
iso gas for stove (small canister)
game call (not always)
packable rain gear
space blanket
flag tape
spotting scope (not always)

The tea, mountain house, stove and gas depend on the weather. If this stuff isn't in the pack its in the truck.
