Day pack contents?

[Bow Walker]

Bear season is just around the corner. Time to finish up the plans for the first hunt of the season. It's gettin' down to the short strokes, folks! :shock:

What are you including/carrying in your day packs? I mean besides the obvious.

Let's see "What's In Your Wallet?" :|

Mine includes T.P., plastic bags, hone (for knife and broadheads), survival blanket/tarp, waterproof matches, rope, bandaids, sewing kit, de-natured alcohol or peroxide, parachute cord, water tablets, and granola bars. :confused:

disclaimer: (but not limited to)... :arrow:

[moosinaround]

Tag, licence, knifes, saws, spare ammo, TP, cord, honing stone, steel, fire ignition source, flashlight, simple firstaid kit, some granola bars, H2O, Usually my handheld two way if with a partner. That is what I usually carry with me all the time in a fanny pack. I pack a little heavier in the fall, usually most gear is on the quad in the gear box. Moosin

[Sikanni Stalker]

spotting scope & base, knives2 and mini diamond stone, small gerber axe,GPS,compass,headlamp,hunting wallet, flint/steel,TP/baby wipes.

In a small zip kit, I also have black tape,guaze,butterfly bandaids,alchohol swabs,whistle,flag tape,wax paper, matches, lens pen and cloth.

I am also going to add the siltarp this year as there is almost no weight to it and it can make the difference if stuck on a hill for a night.

I carry all the usuall stuff that everone else listed, and like to have on hand a red/florescent (spelling?) vest. I usually put it on over my camo
when I walk out of the woods and into the open again. oh and some dry
socks are nice to have too.

I used to carry one of those "one time cameras", but always seemed to have better luck when
I forgot my camera!

Here's a good one I learned from a buddy. Take yer first aid stuff out of the pakage and put it into an old coffee can with a plastic lid. That way it keeps it dry and you also have something to carry and boil water in if need be. I also always carry marine flares ducked taped to the bottom of my pack, that way I can grab them and strike them quickly in case I see a bear that might charge. They are also great fire starters as they burn in the rain.

[trapperdan2061]

as well as most of what has been mentioned I have a 2 pairs of socks, a rain poncho, a small mess kit, and coffee bags ( look like tea bags), and a pocket SOS survival book

[greybark]

:idea: Just what I stuffed in my pockets .. I think that where there is coverage , a Cell Phone could be a lifesaver .. .
cheers

[Bow Walker]

When I go out for the day - especially if I'm alone - I like to plan for the worst case scenario. So I take extra water, food, first aid stuff, compass, matches, fire starters, space blanket, extra knife, bow repair stuff, hatchet, binos, arrows/ammo, whistle, water purifier tablets, plenty of TP, rope, parachute cord, and anything else that might make a difference or help out in a pinch.
