RE: What's in your daypack?
I carry a ton of stuff...probably too much, but I belong to the school of thought of better to have and not need than need and not have.
When I get in the truck to go, this is what my pack contains, obviously, as you read, some will be in use etc. in stand.
- seat-of-the-pants harness
- mag light
- haul line
- binocs
- rangefinder
- cell phone
- license, pen, tag holders
- my grandfathers hunting license from 1952 (one of my good luck charms)
- heat packs (big and small)
- granola bars
- two water bottles (I'm always thirsty)
- pee bottle (because I'm always drinking water!)
- a-way grunter
- kodi-pak
- knife sharpener
- assorted James Valley Scents, for the few times a year that I use scents
- back up release
- run of the mill tree pruners
- one tree step to hang my bow on
- digital camera
All of this in a Fieldline mini-pack...not quite a fanny pack, not quite a day pack, but holds a ton of stuff and has shoulder straps which makes it really easy to carry and get on and off.
