My bow, 4 Arrows, My climbing stand.
I carry a small backpack with:
-Hunting license, zip tie, pen
-20ft of lightweight rope with a small brass clip on the end for pulling bow and backpack into tree.
-Knife
-Drag Rope
-Water bottle, sometimes 2 or 3 depending on where and when I'm hunting
-Snacks (Again, if I'm only out for 2 hours I don't need any, if I'm going all day I'll pack a full lunch.)
- Gloves, Face Mask, Hat
-My clothing: Military surplus camo I picked up. I layer my clothing so if it's warmer I'll carry the stand in wearing a Tshirt, then add a long sleeve shirt and eventually the jacket.
-Boots: Something warm and waterproof.
You'll hear various opinions on the scentlok stuff.... sounds like you're already sold on the stuff. I kill multiple deer every year and don't use it. I do spray the scentblocker stuff, not sure if it works. I keep my clothing in a plastic storage tub, but only put it there once it is hung dry in my garage. Learning to properly hunt the wind is the most important thing you can do IMO. I kill multiple deer every year throughout various seasons and never spent a penny on scentlok clothing or laundry stuff. Not saying it doesn't work... just saying I don't need it.
hope this helps.

Thanks for the post!
Forgot about food & water, but I'll def. bring some haha. Would you say it's better to hang dry and hand wash the clothes instead of using laundry machines with the Scent Killer items?
