GFA quiver with 3 arrows and a spare string, sheath knife and an Asbell wool vest incase it gets cold near sunset.
Oh and a canteen of water.

GFA side quiver or Shulz back quiver

I'm a big fan of feather rests, the arrow doesn't fall off and they are very forgiving. 

I've used seal skin and still have some lying around I think.  Regardless, I use leather on my ASLs, velcro on my recurves. Either would work on either, of course, but leather is thinner and usually works better on my ASLs.   .

I agree About using the fuzzy side of velcro.   I can get it free from work when it expires for shelf life. About 2 inches wide and already adhesive backed.   Leave the backing on and cut to shape with scissors.  Peel the backing and stick it on.  Lasts longer than just about anything else I've ever used and has just enough loft or cushion to nicely dampen the arrow. Quiet too.

I been going down on my annual hog hunt to Florida for 23 years and I definitely noticed that in full moon years the hogs definitely moved later in the evening and the morning hunts were less productive. However if it is colder at night that will help you. But if the food is scarce then it probably won't affect much.

Good idea will serve you well.

What seat are you carrying ? I'm curious as I ground hunt only

You put the hard work in, luck doesn't live out there! Congratulations..

Im happy with the mid 500gr setup I'm using with 45# at the fingers 194gr up front including insert.
I'd say your great for whitetail for sure..hunting meat eaters?? I'd think about your exit strategy before the shot lol. But in all seriousness probably fine for most animals I'd say. Big bones stop a lot of faster heavier stuff than we shoot.
