I hunt elk by spot and stalk so I hunt with a big fanny pack for an all day trip and a small fanny pack for an afternoon ambush hunt.
-knife and bone saw (kodiac set)'
-license
-compass
-high energy food and jerky
-fire starter (magnesium)
-pocket knife
-small flash light or head light
-water
-binoculars on a crooked horn bino system
-range finder
-most important first aid material ( gauze, ace wrap, antibiotic oint., bandaids, kling wrap, ibuprofen, and a couple quarters)
-gloves and coat(strapped to fanny pack)

I don't always travel light but I have what I need when I need it.
