[FC]

Number 1 thing TP lots of TP

*censored*paper is a must! Spare socks will work but if you already changed them out you run a risk of cross-contamination of foot funk and ass sweat.

[bigbuckdown]

Ha ha you sir speak the truth  you put anything else other then rolls of TP

[FC]

Food, water, space blanket and a knife.

[Kola16]

Telescopic fishing pole. Where I deer hunt there is always a lake around.

[dscubame]

Babywipes not TP.  And everything else needed to spend a couple nights in the woods.  Rhino GPS,  old school compass, two sources of fire, plenty of parachute cord, a space blanket, a space body sack, Alaskan Blade Trader, knife sharpener, first aid kit to include a suture kit and know how to use it, headlamp, everything on double A batteries with extras, the kill pint of whiskey, whistle, few granola bars, aleve (in the first aid kit), I am sure I am missing a some other convenient items...

[bigbuckdown]

Does anything else pack spotting scope what else you guys pack

[ellensburgpo]

Does anything else pack spotting scope what else you guys pack

Depends on where/what I'm hunting. Most of the time yes.

[bigbuckdown]

ok i  ostly out of state and west side but this year is my first year in republic hunting for deer going to do a lot of day walks hopefully high away from people

[halflife65]

Day Pack Items:
TP
2 knives (1 Havalon with a couple of extra blades and one small fixed blade knife - don't bring the Rambo knife)
A couple of garbage bags - don't keep the meat in there for longer than it takes to get it out.  Keeps blood off of everything else, though.  I use a framed pack that can take an elk quarter or a whole boned out deer.
Parachute cord
GPS
Headlamp w/extra batteries
Compass
First Aid kit and some ibuprofen
Firestarter (cotton balls and petroleum jelly)
Lighter
Small flint/steel type firestarter (REI has a couple that are less than an ounce in weight)
Space Blanket
A few water purification pills
Athletic tape
Paper Map (Sometimes)
Stocking hat (always carry)
Gloves - glove weight appropriate to weather conditions
Lightweight rain coat (unless it's raining and I'm already wearing rain gear)
Rangefinder
Bug spray (early season)

Food can vary but something like:
Sandwich (something with ham/turkey/roast beef unless the weather is hot and then peanut butter and jelly or honey - use a bagel and it won't get as soggy)
A couple of granola/Cliff type bars
Some kind of snack like mixed nuts or peanut M&Ms
A couple of "energy" snacks like GU, Honey Stingers, Hammer Nutrition, etc.
Water will be either a ~60oz bladder and one small water bottle or two water bottles - this year I've been on a couple of marathons already and, when walking REALLY far, started carrying a Sawyer Squeeze filter and Platypus 2L soft water bottle to put "dirty" water in (the Sawyer water bags popped on my second trip out - the filter is great but the bags suck).  The water filter only goes on extremely long trips and/or it's really hot out.
Mio water flavoring stuff - awesome invention for a backpacker

For rifle hunting:
Extra ammo

For bowhunting:
Extra release
A couple of individual allen wrenches

Optics:
Spotting Scope
Tripod
Binos (wearing)
Lens cloth

Also, I carry my driver's license, bank card, credit card, a couple of $20 bills (never know when a little cash will be handy), phone (turned off), hunting license.

When listing it out it looks like a huge pile of stuff but it really packs down to not be all that much.

[Huntbear]

I do not carry a tripod or spotting scope.. binos work for me when hiking. 

I also carry trail marking ribbon.... since I do not use a gps... map and compass for me. 
some kind of small steel for putting an quick edge back in the knife.
Extra pair of socks, and a T shirt.

[Kola16]

I do not carry a tripod or spotting scope.. binos work for me when hiking. 

  I have a 10-30 x50 pair of binos. They can see as far as anyone cares to walk when you are in the mountains for a day 

[FLIZZ]

Go to some outlet grocery store and grab a *censored* ton of protein/energy bars. water, tape is a must, vasoline soaked cotton balls, space blanket, a knife, whistle, first aid kit, compass, general area map to find roads with compass and what not, headlamp, cabelas space rain pants. basically everything everyone else has mentioned before me lol.

[boneaddict]

Lost a shirt off my Tshirt today.   There is a reason I still wear cotton.

as for the rest of you guys.   Did you buy a mule or hire a sherpa to carry all this stuff.     

[runamuk]

tried the day pack put too much crap in it got too heavy and made it so I never want to carry it....

so i go pockets route
carry tp/paper towels/tissue (am a girl always got one of those in a pocket).....knife.....flashlight or headlamp if I remember....bottle of water.....lighter/matches/really want a little magnesium fire mc doohickey

basically if I have a knife and a way to make fire I am fine....I know how to survive I lived rougher than most people camp its not real complicated 

[boneaddict]

    Now we are talking.

I have a couple of shirts missing sleeves too!
 
I haven't used my day pack yet this year. I'm using a reduced fanny pack that I started using last year. The top section expands to a blaze orange pack/game bag.
Compass, GPS, fire starter, space bag, one game bag, light wool gloves, alergy eye drops, benadryl, ibuprophen, duct tape, knife sharpener, headlamp with fresh batteries inserted backwards, one bottle of water, trail mix, dried Mango slices, granola bars. TP, bandana. A few extra cartridges.. I tend to take my cell phone as it is a pretty good camera.
 
Binoculars are on my harness. Knife on my belt. My wallet is not the daily carry, but rather a light nylon version with DL, Debit card, a little cash, concealed permit, health card, a few band aids.
 
In colder/wetter weather I'll carry the day pack with above items and pocket rocket stove, one fuel canister, or a pop can stove with pot and some noodle soup, rain gear, warmer gloves, wool beanie,
 
-Edit:  I forgot... The folding saw and a whistle are in there too.

[coyote_out]

I spent the last hunt I went on making fun of my hunting partner for having a fanny pack, as I have a full day pack and his little fanny pack was "cute" and "touristy".  When he finally broke and admitted that he needed to buy a day pack for his next hunt, I laughed and told him that he probably shouldn't because all you will do is put more "stuff" in it and have to carry it everywhere. 

I carry about all the stuff everyone already mentioned.  spotting scope, video camera, point and shoot, and tripod if it hasnt been mentioned yet.

[fair-chase]

Hard to write a list because it's always changing. I think most others have covered it pretty well but here's a rough look at mine with just a touch of sarcasm and bs for good measure...

Water- When you've got that then go ahead and add some more water...and then maybe some gatoraide...and then maybe some more water.
Compass- A Good one, not that cheap'o on top of your hiking sticks. Something you can actually plot a course by.
Paper Map X 2- One stays on the counter in case I'm not back within x number of days.
Whislte- I don't know why I pack this stupid thing. It's just there.
Knife- Just one with a stone for day hunts. Longer and I might bring a backup and a saw.
20' Parachord- I find it's easy to go overboard and pack too much of this stuff. 20' should be plenty for most situations. 90% of the time it just gets used for boot laces anyways.
Headlamp X 2- I have 2 because of a phobia. I'd rather not say. 
Flashlight- Not neccasary with the headlamps, more or less a spare battery holder.
Spare Batteries- If you don't have a nifty little flashlight like me to hold them then I guess you could just throw them in your pack. Kinda lame if you ask me but whatever.
Orange Flagging Riboon- Again, don't bring a whole roll, 10-20 feet is more than enough to mark trails or tie to animal when packing out.
Windicator/Baby Powder- If you replace your windicator with unscented baby powder it serves dual purpose of checking wind and you can use it to relieve wet/sore feet.
Optics- Conditions dictate which ones.
Weapon and Ammo- Duh.
License- It needs to be said because I'm sure we've all forgot it at one time or another.
Identification- If I make the news as some guy found on a mountain, I'd like for them to announce my name and not just "some ugly dude" they stumbled upon.
Baby Wipes- This is my investment strategy. TP doubles in value for every mile off trail, but baby wipes have a compound interest rate of one billion for every mile off trail. 
Clothes- Wether dependant but usually include extra shirt and socks.
First Aid- Mine is just a few bandages, gause, self adhesive wrap, and disinfectant.
Lighter + Ignition Source- Bic with vasaline soaked cotton balls for me.
Space Blanket- It's a tarp, it's a sled, it's a sanitary work station. This thing does it all.


Anyways, that my day pack list minus food.

[RadSav]

I second the "Space Blanket"  They weigh almost nothing and as Fair-Chase mentioned "This thing does it all".  I like the SOL blankets as they never stick together like some cheap ones do, they have instructions/orange on one side and reflective silver on the other, and they are more durable than most.  In real cold weather I also add a SOL insulated bivy bag.

Ultra Light rainwear!  I never put a pack on without it. One of the hottest days I ever hunted ended with a near hypothermic disaster for me. I shot an elk just before dark about 1,800 vertical feet below the truck and weather and temps were still around the low 90's.  After dark I could see lightning hitting the mountain below me (no idea where it came from) and rising up toward me.  Before I could reach the truck the temps dropped, lightning all around me and the ground got covered with hail.  About 100 yards from the truck I got so cramped up I couldn't even crawl any further.  I lit a flare to start a fire out of an old fence post and some sage brush.  Lucky for me my hunting partner and a smoke jumper were watching for me from the fire tower on the top of the mountain.  They carried me the last 100 yards out.

Leg cramps had tore me up so much it was painful just to simply sit in the tower watching them pack out my elk.  I was damn lucky.  That was the last time I've ever figured the weather was too good to leave my rain gear behind.  Even a few large garbage bags are better than nothing.

[windygorge]

glad you are ok to tell the story rad.  wow 

[boneaddict]

Something I almost always have on me.....Benadryl   (from a weird weed, to a bug bit/bee sting. ) Something very simple can kill you, just as fast as one pill can save you.

[GoldTip]

I carry a day pack with me.  Depends what I am hunting and time of year as to what might be in it.  Early season it may have some game bags and wyoming saw for getting a hide of an elk  and hung up quick, later season when temps are cold, then not so much.  Always I leave camp with my daypack water bladder full of 70oz of water, there are two knives and two road flares (they will light anything on fire) in my pack along with a space blanket.  Couple of small candy bars and some 20' Para cord.  Roll of black electrcians tape and roll of flagging, thats it.

[Clancy]

Tags, knife, water, sammichs, granola bars, small amount of orange ribbon, some rope, TP, and extra ammo of course.

I carry a bottle of children's liquid benedryl in case I step in a hornet's nest...again. Fast acting and drink it right down.

[Alchase]

Here's my day pack, it does not change much unless a chance of in climate whether then I add rain gear or I might add my camera.
Ebelestock X2:
Mounted outside - Handgun, two knives, leatherman, GPS, binos on harness.
Inside -  64 oz water, munchies, shooting sticks, gloves, bone saw, small first aide kit, whistle, space blanket, Tylenol, ibuprofen, Benadril, Bic lighters and starter in ziplock baggies in different pockets, small and medium zipties, small duct tape, pen, paracord, drag rope harness, flashlights. A couple meat bags. I leave my main pocket empty.


I never carry TP, I find TP does not hold up well. Instead I pack Bounty-select-a-size paper towels folded up in many pockets, they work well even wet, lol. I also carry Preparation H wipes singles, both in my pants pockets and pack.
Cell phone, keys, tags, stay on me.

[Maverick]

 I pack my gun, a knife, ammo, binos, and water. There's no way I'm packing in that much weight!

[Alchase]

I pack my gun, a knife, ammo, binos, and water. There's no way I'm packing in that much weight!

X2 loaded as listed  (dry) =  12 lbs
64 oz water = 8 lbs
Total roughly = 19 - 21 lbs depending on food, lol

[Dustin07]

I pack my gun, a knife, ammo, binos, and water. There's no way I'm packing in that much weight!

pretty much same, with a little food, pocket bible if I'm sitting for a long time, and communication device. biggest use of a backpack for me is to strip off the outter layers I start the 15F degree morning with, and pack water.

[RockChuck]

All depends how far in I am planning from being from the rig. I normally pack very light.  But as I got a bit older I plan what I take in is determined by where I am going in. If I am going in 3 hard steep miles or 5 easier ones I will now wear my pack frame and put my day pack in it. when I get to the area I'm hunting I ditch the frame and put on the day pack. 9 out of 10 times it was a waste to do this. But it really didn't weigh more than about 2 pounds to do it. Now on the one out of ten times I shoot something I can get two quarters, the straps, and the head out in the pack. Then I only have to go back once instead of two more times if I wasn't prepared. And the places I usually hunt it is pretty much all uphill going in. So it's not that big of a deal packing the light frame in, but it is still a heck of a lot of work packing meat out even if it is down hill on the way out!

But for the stuff in my pack for a day. Water, trail mix, TP!, knife, 5 extra rounds, small knife sharpener, a couple of candy bars, quarter roll of orange flagging tape (very important, finding your way back to a deer is much easier with this than trying to figure out the gps! at least for me!)  small spotting scope and tripod. Rangefinder is in my front shirt pocket, and binos are strapped on with that cool strap, can't remember what that's called. I have a small saw for cutting bone on my belt. Used to take a gps and camera. All that's on the iphone now. Get the right app and you don't need service to use it. 

And do not forget to have a six pack of beer in the truck. Once you manage to get that deer packed out that is the best tasting beer there is!

Edit: Don't forget the first aid kit. The last little bit of a roll of duct tape will work just fine here.



What Gps app is that?
