What do I carry while hunting or take to camp?  Hunting I usually have a second, broken in string.  In camp it depends on how far from home and how long I will be there.  

My only concern while hunting is the string.  I have never had one go but having very sharp objects near a tight string has always made me nervous.  I probably just jinxed myself and will need to repalce my string a couple time this season  :)

I have a small kits with pretty much all the supplies already mentioned.  But in all the trips I've taken I don't think I have ever used a thing from it other than stuff to sharpen broadheads with.  Guess I subscribe to the theory that it is better to have it and not need it.....

Actually the best preparation for something you might actually need is to carry a spare string for your bow, and a back up bow with another spare string.  It's hard to imagine a hunt that would require more than that.

I use an old Plano tackle box for all of my archery supplies. I have: field points, blunts, judos, broadheads, inserts, hot melt, nocks, glue, string wax, nocking pliers, bow square, extra woolies, extra strings, feather rests, other rests, barge cement, nocking points, dental floss, tape. Just about anything required for the maintenance of a recurve bow.

Small diamond stone and a string, but I've went on several remote hunts without a spare string.  As stated above I probably just jinxed myself so I better remember to bring a spare from now on.

short term hunts (everyday hunts 30 minutes from home), I carry 6 arrows, 4 broadheads and two judos in my quiver. I also have a leatherman with a stone, a extra bow string (broke in and nock on).  Long term hunts (usually a week away), I have a little box, with few nocks, Duco, two extra judos, 3 extra broadheads, hot melt, little butante tourch, 6 feathers with fletch tape already on them. sharpener, and camo duct tape.
