I do a lot of walking (all spot and stalk, no tree stands as I live in the open of Nebraska). Other than my clothing and boots I carry my bow, rifle, or muzzle stuffer (depending on the season), Nikon Monarch binos, Leica rangefinder, Gerber Exchange a Blade Knife, a Camelpack backpack that I put it all in, and definitely toilet paper!!! I spent a little bit of money on the optics and the knife, but considering the distances that I look across and the number of critters that I gut and process each year it is worth it. The camelpack is needed considering the number of miles that I walk each day (I actually refill it several times a day at windmills) And the toilet paper is a must! Depending on how long I think I will be gone I through some jerky and crackers in the pack. Other than that I try to travel as lightly as possible. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, gotta carry the tags too and a little rope to drag the critters out with.
