This is what I will be carrying this year in myday pack when Elk Hunting.
2 knifes, folding saw, gerber hatchett, water filter, hydration bladder, 50 ft rope(for hanging meat) 4 lightweight game bags, 25ft parachute cord, mac daddy bugle and hoochie mama cow call, digital camera, gps, compass match holder, map, 2 granola bars and a couple other snacks, tp, 2 bic lighters, small roll of electrical tape, leatherman, first aid kit, space blanket and small rain poncho, radio, spare batteries, headlamp and micro led light, 3 small glow sticks for marking trail at night, sunglasses, fleece gloves, I think that is most of my kit, more or less depending on the distance I plan on being away from base camp.
