what do you take hunting???

[Hunter06FlKy]

i'm just curious what all do you take out when you go hunting in terms of muzzleloading supplies??? this is something i have always wondered and its a question that i'll need answered for the upcoming season.

[mauser06]

all depends...i shoot a flintlock.....and like to be more "prepared" then most guys.....im a worrier and will worry about every worst possible case that could happen...i carry extra flints...extra leather...leather cows knee to cover the lock in fowl weather...vent pick...pan brush...pan charger....ball puller, patch puller, T starter, Extra cleaning/loading jag...i USED to carry FIVE premeasured loads and a measurer and flask full of powder.....last year i got a little smarter....now i carry 2 loading blocks with my patchs and balls in them(12 i think) and 10 premeasured charges....then i carry alcohol patches, dry patches....and an extra pill bottle full of 4FG for the pan..which believe it or not i used more then one hunt...when its raining or snowing or we are doing ALOT of quick small drives i dump my pan ALOT..covered or not i dump it often....rather be safe then sorry and got a half pound of 4fg so i dont feel bad "wasting" it lol.....as you can tell im a little too cautious.....i also carry my leathermen tool to take it apart need be.....and a few gallons of water and a bucket in the truck....just incase i need to clean it....like if im hunting from school....gun gets locked in the police station while im not hunting....so if i shoot a deer monday i dont get home till friday....rifle would be rusted to pieces by then...so i carry all my cleaning supplies when hunting there or from camp...rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it....seems like alot but it all fits in a possible bag nicely.....ive used it all more then once....ive had flints explode after ONE shot..lost the leather...friends borrow stuff...im always priming their rifles because they run out....and on the strap is attached my radio for communicating to the gang....we mainly do drives..i do go out and still hunt and stand hunt but alot of our hunting is drives...best way to hunt around here...small woodlots...lots of pressure...deer just dont move on their own...so we like to try and get em up and move em around
