RE: do you take too much equipment in the woods???
I feel ya. I have quite a bit I cary also. I would loose the pop. All that will do is dehidrate you. I would also swap the cell phone for a two way radio. Where I hunt the cell phone just doesn't get a signal.
Water Purifier, Bug Spray
Water Proof Matches, Tarp
Emergency Blanket, Plastic Bag
Whistle, Snake Bite kit
Toilet Paper, GPS
Wool Socks, Two way radio
Mirror, Dental Floss
Scent Killer, Latex Gloves
Ducted Tape, Flares
Tow Strap, buck knife,
gerber multi tool
some saws and bear repelant
I guess Its better to be too prepaired than dead.
