    I carry a day pack with a couple of buck knives, game bags, gloves, a knit cap, flashlight, and extra batteries. I also carry some snacks, water, paper towels, space blanket and a small first aid kit and a lighter. I always have a map and compass, as well as a GPS. Cell phone if in an area that has service, both mostly there isn't where I usually hunt.

    I have been told in various CPR classes and trainings that even if you don't have phone service you are suppose to be able to call 911. I always have mine.

    I rarely hunt more than 1/2 mile from my truck. In my pack there is: rubber gloves; zip ties; drink; snack; knife; bow/gun hoist; range finder; binoculars; extra ammo; flashlight and change of batteries for it; lighter/matches.
    When I get a deer I'll drive as close as possible and use a deer cart or sled to get the deer to the truck.

    Any cell phone, with or without paid service, will call 911. If you have no cellular reception your phone doesn't work.

    Well, my wife (she is a Yank) drinks coffee in the morning and thinks I need a cup in the tree stand on those cold winter mornings. But come the middle of the afternoon I have these terrific withdrawal feelings unless I have my tea and crumpet.

    Back when I deer hunted, I only walked in for less than a mile and never stayed in a blind more than 3-4 hours.
    The only thing 'extra' I carried was TP, a book, something quiet to eat, and a quart canteen of water.
    It all went into a 5 gal. bucket that was also my chair.

    My blinds are only 300-400 yds from the trailer we stay in. My backpack usually has an extra top layer or two, (if cold, heat packs, extra gloves and headgear), extra mag, calls and my dslr with 100-400mm lens.

    Black powder I have 2-3 preloaded tubes to dump powder and load bullets. Flask, caps, cleaning pick, jag and patches. Also knife, flint and steel, lighter, flashlight, gloves & knit hat depending on weather.
    Smokeless 1/2 mile from the truck I have 4-5 cartridges, binos, knife, flashlight, firestarters, gloves and hat depending on weather. Usually have a plastic bag for the heart. Packed in a pocket.
    More than a mile from the truck, I add water, snack, emergency blanket, candle, compass and a map depending on how well I know the area. I have personal knowledge from searches that cell services work better with texts than calls. My elk area is about 35 miles away from cell service.

    If carrying TP you might want a little Gardening Trowel ro dig a cat pit so you can bury things afterwards.

    Thanks for all the replies to this thread, it's been very interesting. I haven't ever had the chance to go on an extended hunt. I mostly hunt on the 18 acre farm.

    I like to ground hunt for deer, so I made a large pad to set on. It's about 20" x 30" doubled cardboard that has been duct taped together and completely covered on one side. It has a handle hole cut on one end and cordage attached to make shoulder straps for ease carry. I normally take a small backpack and my pad will go on my back, over that. Not perfect but it insulates pretty good.

    In my pack I have a spare knife, lens wipes, DMT fine sharpening stone, pencil and paper/pad, water bottles, snacks, extra rifle ammo, Q tips, book. I always have on me hunting or not, carry gun and reload, belt knife (buck192 or 110), leatherman original, pocket knife, ear plugs, small bottle of oil, zippo, streamlight stylus pro flashlight, hanky, paracord keychain.

    What ever I take fits in my pockets. Flashlight, knife, ammo, guttin gloves, cell phone, ID, and my license. I keep as much of the bulk and weight down as possible. If I’m sitting all day I’ll take a trail bar or apple on rare occasions.

    ....OH! And as always I roll up a little TP and stash it in one of my pockets so I don’t have to make some makeshift toilet paper out of my underware and donate them the forest floor and cover with leaves.

    I went back and re-read the hole thread. I'd like to hear more of what others take afield.

    Well, it varies. Many of the above as details of the day demand. When it's a "TP" day, wet wipes are added. My most productive tree stand (referred to as a tree house) is about 70 yards from the house, so most everything extra is superfluous. On hunts away, as I said, many of the above are taken in a day pack, determined by the weather / distance / game / etc. Two items not noted are extra ammo sealed away in a unit from the vacuum sealer. Makes a nice clean, water tight, QUIET, package set aside in a pocket within. Also, I take a good length of webbing as my drag rope. There is a permanent loop sewn one end for either a simple noose to attach to game or switch around for an over the shoulder drag feature. The webbing rolls into a small unit and is much, much easier on the shoulder when under the strain of the drag.

    In a group hunt (moose) I have a bag I can carry on my back and/ or sit on. I have sandwiches,sausages,coffee in a thermos. Boiled eggs, apples maybe. Those days can get long. Rope, plastic bag, dog leash,a little saw,lots of stuff.

    Solo deer hunt is the opposite, no bag,no food, only a Leatherman,ammo,rifle. Bare minimum.

    I keep a backpack ready with a couple of knives, nitrile gloves, sharpie for filling out tags and some small zip ties for attaching tags. A few disposable hand warmers, a pair of gloves and stocking hat (we don't always need them in Tx). Binoculars, a grunt and bleet call, spare ammo and a good flash light, a lighter, a short length of rope and some paracord and some TP.
    Sounds like a lot when I write it down but it's really not
