I never carry a back pack and I spend the entire day (11 hrs) about 20 feet above the forest floor. I do bring the necessities...knife/rope/compass etc and I can't forget a handful of Tootsie Pops. I wouldn't leave camp without them!

A GPS can come in handy.

Knife, axe, flint, water, small pan, ammunition, socks, first aid kit, bible, a little food. Most of this fits into pockets on your person, the rest of it in a small bag or backpack.

pack for a day, be prepared for a week.

I bring too damn much....I try to be prepared for anything, but the fact is I'm never more than a mile from my truck.

I just started carrying a survival kit last year...went up north hunting and dreamed of the "Big Woods"....walk for days and never find a road. Well...turned out that I ended up sitting in my stand about 100 yards from my buddies mom's house...saw some nice deer too. Left the survival kit in the truck.

I have to use a waist pack or backpack because there is noway I can walk around with my pockets full of this junk and feel weighted down. When possible I take the pack off and lose the load,but if its in my pockets than it is still with me even sitting in the stand,also if I need to get to it halfway fast then I may have to shuffle through the other junk in the pocket to get what I need.

Use a pack,when you get to where you are going lay it on the ground...
