All I carry is a rangefinder...Honestly, Who needs a pack-back? I carry what I need, Maybe some calls, scents, Rangefinder, Bow Hook, Pull-up rope...etc, just necessaties. Why make it an excursion?

Got all my stuff..damn where's my bow??[/align]

RE: What do you take in your pack?
 
Sleeping bag
Bivy
ThermaRest Ultralight
Extra gloves
Dry socks
Balaclava
Food
Water
Knives
Game bag(s)
Headlamp (unless it's spring or early fall; never gets dark)
Matches
VHF radio, cell phone or EPIRB (depending on where I'm going and with whom)
Camera

Some days I pack the .44 some days I leave it home, depends on the season and where I'm going and what I'm doing but it's on the waist belt of the pack, not in it.

I have a good set of binos but they are never in my pack, same for the rangefinder.

Rangefinder
GPS
Grunt call
Snort wheeze call

rattln' horns (sometimes)
Extra layers
Gloves

I'm sure I missed some stuff...... I like to be prepaired..... The day you don't take something is the day you will need it :D

I really don't carry very much. Knife, Multi-tool, Flashlight on my belt. Call, binocs around neck. Pull up rope in pocket. Phone in pocket. Maybe a different set of gloves depending on the weather. I've carried a small pack before but barely used anything out of it, and felt kind of gay for carrying a fannypack:D

If I can't fit it in my pockets, around my neck, or on my belt, I really dont have much use for it. I've gone out many times with nothing more thanthe weapon.

RE: What do you take in your pack?
 
I only carry my bow, a grunt call, doe bleat call, binos, range finder (sometimes), bow rope, tissues, and my Garmin Rhino. They all go on the belt, around the neck or in a pocket. I think taking a knife is bad luck so if I need it I just go back to the truck or campsite to get it. Not that I am superstitious or anything;)

RE: What do you take in your pack?
 
I pack way too much, but seem to do it every time.

8x42 Nikons
Nikon pro 440
tree bow hook arm thingy
reflective tree tacks
LED flashlight
extra bow rope for pulling stuff up
drag rope
knife pack w/ foldup limb saw
rattle bag
grunt tube
primos deadly double mouth call (turkeys are in season sometimes)
rules and regulations book
zip ties
orange flagging tape
roll of toilet paper
gallon size zip lock bag
granola bars
water bottle

I think that's about it..........theres probably some stuff I am missing though.

RE: What do you take in your pack?
 
I did the "stuff-the-pockets" routine for a few years, and then decided that I would eventually sacrifice a bit of manliness and don a fanny pack. I like to think that I retained some dignity, as it is camo-colored of course.

It now consists of: pull rope, roll of twine (especially handy when you misplace item number one), trails end 307 scent, estrous scent, snippers, knife, folding saw, plastic bags for heart and liver, flashlight, headlamp, scent wicks, trail marking tape, and digital camera. That about does it for me!

RE: What do you take in your pack?
 
I would pack the kitchen sink if I could , I've been told that I pack way to much :D
Honestly I'll try to pack light and just use a fanny pack but I always ending up using the fannypack and my backpack too.
There's just way too much stuff to mention as I try to be prepaired for anything , you just never know you might need a flair gun. :)

In my pack I carry:

Range finder
Grunt Call
Can Call
Bow hook
HS Fresh Earth Scent Wafers
Scent killer spray
Handkerchief
Compass
Pull Rope
Limb cutters
Knife
Flashlight
String
Extra batteries
Water bottle
Granola bars

I carry my binos on my chest strap and keep my cell phone in my pants because it won't do me any good in my pack if I'm hanging from my harness or worse.

My list looks simular to everybody elses but I sometime just want to take what I need instead of what I want to carry with me.

RE: What do you take in your pack?
 
I try to avoid a pack if I can. Spent a little too much time lugging a pack around when I was young and full of volunteer spirit. I pare it down to a neck knife and a fanny pack if I can get away with it.

Neck Knife:
knife(duh)
magnesium fire starter
small compass
extra lanyards
whistle
duct tape(wrapped around the handle)

Fanny Pack:
good compass
snake bite kit
folding knife
GPS
scent wicks and pee
lighter
small sewing kit
rope
small medi-kit
canteen
extra ammo
rocket launcher
claymores
white phosphorus grenades







Just kidding about the last 3.

RE: What do you take in your pack?
 
I carry much of what is listed previously, just depends on what I'm hunting and where. But being kind of a boy scout, I usually find I have what I need when needed (hence the signature). I know some of my hunting buddies give me crap when they see my pack contents, but end up eating thier words when I pull what they need out of my pack.

If there are two items I try totake all the time, it would be a knife and some water (or something to purify water).

GMMAT 04-23-2007 06:51 AM

RE: What do you take in your pack?
 
Binos around my neck
Treestand on my back
Bow hook in my pocket

Thats it.
