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]

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.

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

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.

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

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!
