So, what do you all keep in your pack while ML hunting?

Holy cow! right now I really could not answer that - I would have to get the pack out and do an inventory. I probably have way to much, but I would rather have it than not have what ever it is.

But it is a lot of stuff. But you know that is a good question that I will have to investigate more.

What ever fits in this back pack

I bought a new pack today and am loading it with stuff that I usually take with me. I'll post the list when I'm done.

Them are carried in pockets... pants, vest, and shirt; except knife is on belt. Tool is on key ring. Carry binocular around neck. GPS is in vest pocket. If hunting prairie also carry range finder in vest pocket. If weather is warm carry water in back vest pocket.

No pack.

I go lite. Fanny pack. Three " Lanes Tubes " of powder, one with three bullet sabot combos. I have the red TC palm saver with 4 primers.

Other than that, some water, a few granola bars, knife, gutting gloves and my phone That's it.

I like to move when I'm out of the ground blind.

Ron's post came in while I was writing mine. Almost the same list but I like to eat and drink when I'm out.

Snickers, Peanut Butter Crackers, Granola Bars, Soda, Water, Sunflower seeds......oh wait, you mean ML stuff.
Well probably 3 loaded speed loaders (what a misnomer that is!), short starter, #11 caps or primers or extra flints, a small plastic bag with all the tools I would need to make any minor changes like nipples, vent liner, flint, etc, a couple cleaning patches, pan primer (flintlock), flashlight, field dressing gloves, a silicon impregnated cloth to cover my lock in the rain, toilet paper and paper towels and maybe some more items I can't remember right now.
