Well the other guys said a lot of good things but what alot didn' t say to pack was a good Forest Service map of some sort and a compass.Hey we all can get lost or confused and a small first aid kit. I opt for 2 hatchets and 2 knives (non-folding) a sharpener,game bags,extra shells,6 rounds for my 44 mag pistoland 20 rouns for my rifle,map,compass,matches,1st aid kit,flash light,rope and a space save blanket,2 cans sardines(high in protine and energy),2 packs soup mix,1pack coffee,some candy and water with 2 packs gatoraid,extra socks and a wool sweater in the bottom. I pack all this cause I hunt a lot of remote places and generally by myself or a friend,most pepole dont wan' t to follow.The rest I wear,my friends have accused me of bring everything but the kitchen sink,but hey I go prepared.
