Who carries survival item when hunting?

survival items?...oh you mean a knife...yes I have that

[dragon rider]

Waterproof matches, heat packs, space blanket, radio (and after one stupid event spare batteries), two compasses and a GPS, small folding knife, fixed blade knife, water, either some energy bars or trail mix and either an S&W .357 or a Ruger, either .44 mag or .45 with spare ammo in case of warm blooded snakes.

I helped out a friend who taught a wilderness survival class at a local community college. Part of the students' grade was what they put in their survival kits. One student had the usual stuff knife, compass, cord, first aid kit, etc. He also had a small porn picture out of a Playboy. When we asked him what it was for he said that it was "the will to survive". I would have never taught of that one.

I always have some kind of knife and a lighter on me. If I am going to the woods, I tend to have another knife, like a sheath knife. A piece of light nylon cord, say 10 or 12 feet, ties up everything from bandages made from clothes to improvised repairs. A bandanna is useful as a a bandage. A candle can be shaved a bit and used to start a fire. My watch has an altimeter and compass built into it.
Depending on where I am headed I might add in a VHF radio, an EPIRB, a GPS, a map, a headlamp. Some bright colored flagging tape in a roll is real handy to mark your trail if someone is looking for you, or if you need to follow your trail back out again.
A sharpener for the knives is handy but probably can get along without it for quite a while.
I wear some good clothes for the weather, plus I usually have extra clothes, both for me and for my wife if I carry a pack. A dry hat and pair of gloves to hand to her is worth a lot. Extra dry socks and boot insoles can be carried in vacuum seal-a-meal pouches and have been very welcome if the sitution lasted long enough...
If I am not carrying a rifle, I tend to have a large handgun, either a .357 or a .44 on me, with a couple of reloads or speed loaders.
Finally, I tell someone I trust where I/we are going, when to pull the plug on a rescue, and tell them when we get back safely so they don't call the Coast Guard.

Like Ethan said earlier, electrical tape and Super glue for cuts! Clot stop stuff works good too! And like Toddster says, practice some of your skills at home or when camping! Good shootin, Steve
