Quiet, waterproof clothing, a flashlight, and a sharp knife are close seconds.
well I always tried to do this too
but I can tell you, ONCE, I was going on a far away hunt, and had packed MOST things night before, and about 9 hrs into driving I remembered I LEFT my BOW at home , got side tracked loading and ended up forgetting it on my porch!
too far to turn around, so, next best option, I upgraded to a X bow to make life easier than setting up a new bow, and killed a very nice buck a few days later with it
I have also been on far away hunts and had a problem with a rifle, and have always taken a spare.backup on trips ever since!
so even when you bring all needed basic's, some times they can fail too!
got to be like a Boy scout and go prepared LOL
