I take my bow, a knife, a flashlight, and the most important, a reliable bic lighter. A lighter is important because if you fall out of a tree, you have 1. a signal fire for when they come looking for you and 2. especially in the colder weather, you have a fire to keep you warm. I had a friend freeze to death in about 45 degree weather, so dont think if your bundled up youll be alright for the night if you cant move.
