So what items do you find really handy, and wouldn't head off to deer camp without? Things that really just help to make camp a little more comfortable or enjoyable. Let's hear it!
Small Folgers container with a roll of TP with the center pulled out. Waterproof and easy to find.
extra tarp and rope to hang out for dry storage.
A good compass and map of the area I will be hunting in.
Baby wipes

You beat me to it! :eek:
I use them for everything.
all of above, and some good reading.
An LED headlamp.
A camp axe. They can be used for a bunch of things. Something to read can be invaluable if you are by yourself. Or a good hunting buddy is always nice to have around,lol.
magnesium fire starter.And some Fritos the oil will burn for a long time and they taste good to. :campfire:
Propane torch!
Baby wipes and a good cook

X2 Well said. lol
camp chairs, parachute cord, extra batteries, my Egyptian canvas Eena wall tent, with the heater, radio for weather, hot chocolate mix my wife makes from scratch to mix with coffee, lantern, extra sleeping bag, canoe, tweezers, med kit, sewing kit, extra stocking cap, depending on where you are going bear spray, one bottle of Crown Royal and extra good cigars.
Dang pavan, do you leave anything at home? :D x2 on the 550 cord, about a 100ft of it! A good canvas tarp, vasiline soaked cotten balls, some good dry tender, and several ways to start a fire. Hot or cold a good fire is nice!! Jason
Duct tape....lol
An empty plastic bottle to put near the sleeping bag. It has to seal well and it has to be big enough :scared: .
I hate having to get up in the middle of the night.

Zip ties in a variety of sizes.
God bless,Mudd
I'll state the obvious...Bow, and plenty of projectiles. Everything else just takes up space.

I think this is a "Man Card" violation! :biglaugh:
Small metal grill. You can cook a whole meal quickly on one with just a twig fire.
Add to that last post tortillias and smoked sausage. Always a welcome snack around a fire.
Some sort of rug out side the door so you don't track in.
Wind up alarm clock.
Thermos bottle. Make coffee at night and have hot coffee first thing in the morning.

Old washing machine tub to make fire in and grill on.
Duct-tape, Leathermen-tool, 1911
A bigger truck.
Guy
Everything I list and more including the food for two weeks and fishing equipment fits in three canoe packs, except for the wall tent, I take a campfire canvas on canoe trips.
Gerber Suspense Multi-Tool, 100' of paracord, duct tape. I keep a few other thing (10 essentials) in a day pack i keep with me.
Solar shower, for obvious reasons. And a 3'X3' piece of plastic to stand on when showering. I hate dirt and leaves stuck to wet feet.
BOB
A shovel or entrenching tool is handy, if you aren't carrying it too far.
The Solar Shower suggestion is a GREAT one if it's a long camp (We have two).
A pair of lightweight hiking shoes/trailwalkers. Something to make the 'ol feet feel light around camp and give your heavy boots a breather.
percolator - come on guys!
I really, really like it when there is a chainsaw handy. I never go out in the hills without one in the truck.
24 Natural Lights.
a mousetrap has given my sleep back! :bigsmyl:
some great ideas - can"t imagine much left not mentioned
44 magnum.... we visit serious wolf and griz country! Kifaru tipi and Ultra light grizzly cot (because I'm getting too old to sleep on mountain rocks). Wood stove, camp shoes and chairs. That about rounds out heaven to me.
the kitchen sink. Gary
collapsible bucket, works for washing dishes and carrying water.
Starbucks instant coffee packets and a jetboil stove
Candles
A 44 mag; it must be about the right size cause it feels like a bit too much at both ends.
