My backpack is like an RV! I bring it all, coffee, water, candy, trail mix, fruit, summer sausage, pepper cheese, MRE's and you name it!

I totally enjoy hunting, but if I were cold and hungry, I probably wouldn't. I play a game with the noise wrappers though. Not sure if it works, but it makes me feel better about making noise.

I've got no shortage of leafs on my stand since there's a blind wrapped around it and there is no way for them to escape. So I will grunt and rustle the leaves as I pull out my food, which I've also placed in a zip lock like others have mentioned. And then I don't waste any time eating it. I like to get the smell out of there and stop the movement ASAP. I did shoot a buck one year right after I'd filled my coffee mug and had pepper cheese and summer sausage on a cracker hanging out of my mouth. I was hunting with a rifle, but the buck was only about twenty yards away. It was around 2 PM.
