Title says it all! What are all ya'lls must haves for hunting? (Besides ammo lol)

 

Matches, lighter, fire starter or Fritos Corn Chips, knife, sharpener, map, compass, and gps if driving in on the quad. Also, enough snacks to last at least a few hours. I like mixing in peanuts with Hershey's Cookies and Cream drops. Water, water, water.

 

Some paper to wipe my butt, a compass, and a loud whistle. Maybe some water. I always have a lighter and knife on me.

 

Forgot about the therapeutic papers (TP). I usually have some gun or another with me so I don't need the whistle. Think I have one though in my fender bag. Got home from a ride last year and discovered it was open and I lost almost everything in it. Binoculars, spark steel, etc.

 

I always carried some paper towels and in later years I put them in a Ziploc bag. Soggy paper isn't any good if it rains. I used to carry fire starters in another bag too. They were made of something like paraffin and sawdust. I had the strike anywhere kitchen matches, which I haven't seen in a long time, in a water tight container. I haven't hunted in years and it's hard to remember this stuff. I know I didn't take a lot. If you do get a whistle to signal with get the pea-less kind that doesn't have any moving parts.

 

If I hunt in the US I'm usually on my own hunting land and never further than 1/2 mile (straight line) from the road so I don't need much more than ammo, water, warm cloths, and TP. The ATV is seldom more than a dozen yards away.

If I am hunting overseas I'm paying someone else to worry about all the above!!!!
