I packed a bull elk out in two load on Saturday in my mystery ranch. I'm not 100% sure why Sunday sucked.
My pack usually has
- first aid kit
- compass
- flashlight
- matches and a lighter
- emergency blankets
- TP
- tags
- game bags
- knives (havalon piranta, gerber bone saw, Outdoor edge swingblaze)
- rope
- calls
- camel back with water
- bottles of Gatorade
- food
- few extra rounds of ammo
- slingshot and SS ball bearings for grouse
And then I carry my binos and rifle on slings.
I usually don't hunt far in the backcountry so I don't bring a GPS, I'm usually close to cell service and half an hour from town.
I can't believe I didn't lead with the old saying:
Backpacks only come in two sizes; too small and too heavy.
