Backcountry.....Must Haves

<< < (2/4) > >>

mburrows:
A solid med kit and know how to use it. Tourniquet, Benadryl, ibuprofen, bandaids, etc.. a good headlight and an emergency light (petzel e light or similar).

A good water filtration set up as well, redundancy here is a good idea incase something happens to your primary and can be accomplished with some tablets or drops.

Love me some tenacious tape for gear repair in a pinch too.

GOcougsHunter:
Really good knives for both taking care of the animals and to have for establishing camp.
Repair kit for whatever weapon you are using.  You don't want a small mechanical breakdown of your gear force you to abandon the hunt.

highcountry_hunter:
My trekking poles have duct tape, electrical tape and lueko tape around them.
Keep 1/2 dozen film canisters full of cotton balls soaked in petroleum jelly, excellent fire starter
Multiple backup lighters and remember, they won’t work if they’re cold. I always keep 2 in my pockets
You can find ultralight first aid kits on Amazon and small packs of biodegradable wet wipes
Jet boil type cook stove and be familiar with using it
I keep a mini leatherman type multi tool on me
Backup headlamp

Bushcraft:
File - Especially in Alaska because the rocks are sharper there.  Fewer sharp edges will make your clothing and gear last longer.

Hammer - Especially in Alaska because the rocks are larger and it's easier if you smash them and make them smaller (and then file off the sharp edges).

Magical waterproof material to make water less wet - Especially in Alaska because rain is wetter there than anywhere else.

Just kidding man. Couldn't resist. Plenty of place in the lower 48 and Canada that will shorten the lifespan of your equipment and drown your hopes and dreams.

Skyvalhunter:
Yea especially in Alaska
