I don't know if this would be considered strange but here it is. Last season I started bringing Snickers candy and a jar of Mandarin Oranges. I'm a diabetic. Everything I bring I've been bringing with me for years.

This hat has always been with me since I was 12...that was a few years ago.  Goes in my pack on warm days for good luck.

   

Not sure it's weird though. Old yes...

A Hank of paracord in every pack.  A needle is nearly every hat I own along with a small length of cotton string in the band.  those have been used to repair stuff and even put a temp stitch in my hand

This is a Buckeye Redshaft.

My Grandpa always carried one in his pocket also.

Thanks for the link. Yes I was way off.

A St. Hubert medal and an upper tusk of a wild boar I shot goes with me on every hunt

Harmonica for evenings - mostly entertain myself.

I carry a buckeye given to me by a good hunting partner and a Sog tanto knife given to me by a dear, departed friend.

I love all the similarities in this thread. I wouldn't have guessed that so many of you crusty hunters were sentimental at heart!

I really love Whip's idea. Wish my dad had been cremated. I do talk to him when I'm hunting. I always hope he'll scare the deer my way or guide my shots.

Maybe not that strange but I carry 4 or 5 paper towels. I have used them for TP, stopping blood, cleaning glasses, drying off wet arrows, bow etc. wiping out carcasses.
