I was just going through my day/survival pack today getting ready for my May bear hunt (yes I'm bored and the ice isn't thick enough at South Fork Res.) and thought of a subject that I haven't seen on this forum. I was just wondering what you guys have in your packs, as well as suggestions, and tips for keeping everything dry, accessible, etc. Here's what I have and will be getting.
25' 3/8" rope
50' parachute cord
Gerber bone/hack saw
Wyoming saw
Wyoming knife
Cutco 6" serated knife
Whistle
Reclosable sandwhich bags
Kleenex
2 pairs extra gloves
2 pairs extra socks(wool)
Extra leather shoe laces
Emergency blanket (vacuum sealed)
Signal mirror
Mini mag light w/ extra bateries
Flagging tape
Small first aid kit (vacuum sealed)
Compass
Gerber tool
Pocket knife with multi tools
Small knife sharpener
Military rain poncho (vacuum sealed)
Zippo w/ extra fluid (vaccum sealed)
4 small tent stakes
Magnesium firestarter w/ steel
Water proof matches
Bleached hemp rope w/ burnt 100% cotton (can
go into detail on this if any body has
questions)
3 quarts of water (1 military canteen w/cup
and a 70 oz. camel back)

Will be getting:
Small military trifold shovel
New buck knife (lost other one last deer season)
Game bags (ours got trashed last deer season too.)
I know this seems like a lot of stuff, but I should have enough stuff to completely quarter and hang a big game animal and stay with it for a while if I had to.
