For archery elk, I have forgot shorts for around camp a few times but nothing a knife can't take care of using my old camp pants.

Heck, isn't that how we "used" to make shorts/cut offs anyway?   :chuckle:

Jorts all the way

In our camp we have a guy with about a 24" inseam, so we call them "shants".

I keep a list on the computer

I keep a list in Evernote for hunting (and fishing and...) so I don't forget anything.  BUT, that doesn't keep me from walking a mile from my truck, bugling, hearing a response and then realizing I left my bow in my rig.  Doh!
I know I've lost it, let me know if you come across it

I've had two partial disasters that fit the bill....

Forgetting my headlamp was one and not bringing an Allen key for my turret was another. The turret free spooled during an adjustment in the field and I had no idea at what yardage. That ruined my day and all it needed was just to be checked and snugged up before the trip.

So frustrating!
