What's in your pack?

COMPASS!!!!

Maybe your shot won't be good and you need to follow a long trail.

Looking down for blood makes it easy to get turned around.

Funny I never carry a knife. I always go home and change and put on my guttin clothes and grab my knife then. I always have waterproof matches and a bic lighter, even close to home I want to be able to make a fire in case of an emergency. Shawn

You know, I have a hand held GPS & rarely use it.

I have GPS too.
Problem is with mine at least, It doesn't work in most of the places I hunt. Especially in the early season with the leaves still on the trees.

I don't have a great sense of direction.
I really wish I did.
I have been turned around in woods I thought I knew.
The compass got me out.

Extra bowstring. If in MN on unfamliar ground - a compass. Come to think of it, it would have been handy even in ND. One night I was helping another bowhunter trail a buck and we got turned around in the dark.

Pretty much have the basics covered.. Only thing different i have is the dreaded pliers.  In fact seems my most used tool to pull broad heads out of stumps,logs, branches,,ect. Don't tell but I actually use Stainless Steel mollar pullers.Ya I said dental tooth pullers. Machine near perfect to pull heads from such objects and reuse them after sharping,, Don't give out my secret. Best wishes..

Your secret is safe with me....

Good stuff from y'all.  Thanks.  I'm sure as I spend some time scaring deer away I'll refine a bit to suit my own needs.  But it's good to think of some of these things before you need 'em and don't have 'em.

On a long hunt, baby wipes.
