What's in your 3-5 day hunt pack??

(1/2) > >>

huntingnut:
I got a lot of useful tips on the other pack thread. I am new to this wilderness pack-in hunting. I can't wait to get out and get lost for 3 days.  I have read the book by Cameron Hanes and got a lot of useful tips from other sources, but would like to hear from the locals on what you have in your packs. Here is my list
Barrowed external framed pack
20deg bag
Therma-rest zlite pad
50' 3/8 nylon rope
50' parachute chord
flashlight
head light
MRE's
100 oz. bladder
purification tablets
spork
hand warmers
gloves
stocking cap
extra socks
100% deet bug spray
Alaska game bags
knives and sharpener
extra batteries
maps
compass
knot bags for garbage
garbage bags for meat
first aid kit w/ Advil and Benedryl

Hopefully I haven't forgot anything, I would hate to be 10 miles back and need someting. Any info would be appreciated.

Oops, almost forgot, TP, deodorant, forget those and the stalks won't go so well.

I didn't see any fire starting tools, or emergency signal gear.  If you can't start a fire due to restrictions, than a little portable stove is great.  I have a Jetboil which I love.  I have a couple of friends with a Dragonfly, and they like that a lot.  Then you can get the dehydrated meals which are a lot lighter and less bulky than MRE's.

huntingnut:
I was looking at the Jetboils, but due to the fact that I have to pretty much buy everything I need for this hunt now because this is my first time, I can't afford to buy a stove this year. We are getting a good deal on the MRE'S so we will be going that way this time.  I was going to try the cottonball and vaseline trick for the fire starter. I hadn't thought about emergency signal. We are going to hunt a fairly small area only 10 miles in at the most, but will be adding one just in case.
Thanks

MREs add alot of weight to a pack..................What about a cheaper foam sleeping mat, less weight also. Trap or plastic for shelter???

huntingnut:
The Therma-rest z lite is only 15ozs. and I have already purchased it. I would eventualy go to a stove and dried food, but can't afford a stove or pass up the deal on the MRE's.
