I've got a backup, a backup for my backup, batteries and a flasher...
Spent part of a night trying to find a deer a buddy left in the woods...He had found the deer but came out without marking...
I carry 2 headlights, a flashlight, a flasher and batteries for all...The second headlight is to put on if the first either breaks or I need to change batteries...I've also left it on a limb to help me find my way out when tracking a deer...The flasher is used to clip on a limb over a deer so I can find it when I come back with help or the 4-wheeler....I've also clipped it to my tree stand to help when looking for a blood trail to help me find where the deer was last seen or was at the shot...
I also carry 2 compasses and 3 knives....
Gonna start carrying my Glock 23 this year...I'm hearing too many stories about 2 legged creatures in the woods around here...
