I try to take as little with me into the woods as possible...the truck is never more than a mile away for me either. With me into the woods comes:
1. My weapon of choice
2. Extra projectiles to be sent from #1
3. A couple flashlights.
4. A couple knives.
5. A couple water bottles.
6. A thermos of coffee...just as often used for waking purposes, as for warming.
7. Cell Phone.
8. Compass.
9. Snacks and lunch if I plan on staying out that long.
10. TP.
11. A few calls (true talker, K & H EZ grunter, doe bleat can) and a rattle bag.
12. About 40' of rope.
13. My dragging mechanism (very closely related to #12, just shorter with a "fastener" on one end.)
14. My wallet, which holds my license, etc.
15. A lighter.
16. Binoculars.
17. Rangefinder.
18. Compact Bible.
Sounds like a ton, but all packs in a small pack and doesn't take up all that much space. Never thought I took that much until i looked at this list!
