I used to go into the woods with so much junk that I would literally fill my ALICE pack. The last couple years I've been trying to hunt as light as possible and leave that crap in the truck. Now I pretty much carry my gun, at least three reloads, my big old fixed blade Buck knife and 50 feet of 550 cord (it has a thousand uses, and it's a lot easier to carry than rope). I also carry a small flashlight (Mini-Mag light), rubber gloves, and pen, a small first aid kit and my cell phone with a full battery. Everything else stays in the truck. I never really hunt more than a mile from it, so if I need something, I can always go get it.
