In addition to the more or less standard fare of stuff, I make sure I have a spare watch cap and a spare knife, as well as a pair of sunglasses.

Buddy got a good bull one evening and proceeded to dress it. As darkness approached, he set his knife down for a second ... then couldn't find it in the dark ! A small but very
sharp pocket knife I had given him a week earlier saved the day ... and we found his knife the next morning (right where he put it, but "invisible" in the dark. The sunglasses are very seldom used, but when you need 'em, you need 'em. The watch cap comes out when the weather turns nasty. Saves frozen ears ! You should always take at least 1/2 litre of water ... even for a short afternoon upland hunt. You can get awfully thirsty out there. A good whistle can be a handy thing too.

TP can be used as a fire starter too.

And is also biodegradable, unlike most baby wipes. Works great for marking blood trails too as you can leave them hanging and they'll disappear, unlike the plastic flagging tape it seems like everyone leaves in the bush.

In my pack I carry:

-GPS
-cell
-knife
-head mounted flashlight
-range finder
-calls for the species I am after
-strap with paracord to drag game
-plastic bags
-paper towel...doubles as TP

I don't like packing to much stuff I had to add the modern hunter in to keep the photo interesting Haahaa
I am taking MH elk hunting this year but the reast of the hunting will be using a T/C encore or Winchester low wall

 

[McWilly]

I always put a half roll of sh#t tickets in a zip lock bag. Packs down a little nicer too if you can get the cardboard tube pulled out of the middle.

 

[Mr.Crumbz]

What else guys? Need some more ideas, there might be a few things I didn't know I needed!

If you don't already have it you probably don't need it

All you guys carrying TP, try some baby wipes. Much smaller, cleaner and easier to pack.

I have different packs for different hunts.

- day pack for rifle hunting with gun scabbard
- tree stand pack for archery
- upland pack for grouse

All of these will contain a GPS, knife/multi tool, rain gear, protein bars, water/Gatorade, rope/cord, wipes, phone, flashlight, headlamp, trail marking tape, lens wipes for scope/binos and pruning shears/saw.

Baby wipe s are heavier and takes up the same room as a cored roll of tp in ziplock. Baby wipes stay on the quad.

Ever since the LED headlights have gotten decent, I haven't carried a proper flashlight. The darned things keep my hands free, and are BRIGHT on the highest settings. I don't buy the high dollar ones either, but have several sets stashed around the house, at my parents farm, car, etc.

My compass is on a lanyard around my neck all hunting season long. Only comes off when I hit the fart sack. Same thing with a bick lighter that is in an explosion proof capsule (very similar to a Zippo, where you have to open the lid to strike the wheel for spark). Picked it up in a truckstop several years ago and haven't seen one since.

Toilet paper is only 1/2 a roll in a ziplock bag to keep it nice and dry. Stays nice and dry for either its intended purpose, or lighting fires. Either way it's much nicer to use when it's in a dry state.

Water bottle goes in an elastic pocket on the side, and a Lifestraw goes inside.

Binoculars are either in the pack, or around my neck, depending on whether I'm travelling, or spotting.

Spare socks for just in case I get wet feet.

Firestarter in a can (paraffin and cardboard) for a small warmup fire that I could set on a bench in the boat if I have to.

Snack munchies in a ziplock bag. If I'm going for a 5 day hunt. I'll pack 5 separate baggies.

At least 2 or 3 pairs of lined gloves. A dry pair can dry out in camp, and the other pair(s) can either be worn or thrown in the pack.

I can count on one hand the number of days in a year I don't carry my Gerber multitool on my belt, so that is always on my side.

On an extra belt, that I throw on before leaving camp, I have a hunting knife, ammo pouch, and one of those T-handled bone saws.

GPS will go in a jacket pocket, or in a pants pocket, and waterproof camera ususally goes in my right pants leg pocket.

Flagging tape, paracord, and orange duct tape, will also be tossed into the pack, if I think it's needed. Usually I think it's needed.

This is my setup, and it's how I set up my pack for our trip to Northern Manitoba where we are in a base camp for a week.
