I leave everything in my pack except my 2 calls (Grunt Call and The Can). I don't carry binos bow hunting. I have hunted the same four sets for so long I know the distance to the places I can shoot but for the first couple of time I hunt the stand for the season I range a couple of places just to refresh my memory. Other than that I have a knife, TP, extra release, gloves, benie, a snack, and 1 bottle of water. I did at one time use a water bladder but found it to easy to drink to much and I would have to PEE much more.
