What Do You Carry In Your Pack?

[Pathfinder101]

vaseline and condoms ?  What are you hunting for ?  

Yeah, I know.  Looks creepy.   But an unlubricated condom is the best small water collector you can carry (though I will admit, I have never had to actually use it), and nothing starts a fire more reliably than cotton balls covered in vasaline.

Everything that i would need to survive a while. Extra clothes. I love hunting in the late season snow. Way away from other hunters. Need those survival supplies. Asked one of the guys that trys to tagalong with me this year if he had fire starter. He said No DUMD A$$.

Good to know I am not a *censored* for carrying most of what everyone has listed here.  I may not hike 50 miles into the back country when I go out, but you never know what might happen even 100 yards off the trail.  My buddies have joked with me that I carry too much considering I don't go far.  I subscribe to the better safe than sorry mentality.  A little extra weight and a few extra items can make the difference between you getting out alive if you are stuck/lost.  Great lists and a few ideas I can add to my pack, thanks for sharing.

toilet paper, food, usually a few apples, granola bars, etc..., couple bottle of water, two good knives, one in the pack one in my pocket, knife sharpener, lighter, extra pair of socks, electrical tape, if i have a gun with me extra bullets, there's more i just can't think of it now.

Well I see a couple of things I carry I forgot to add on the list. Uh TP, Hello!! Need to add a whistle, signal mirror is part of my camo paint. I pack a stocking cap, bandaids. Vasoline & condoms, well now I know why I posted the question. I believe that qualifies for YAR.  . Also depending on location will throw the spotting scope in. The phone camera has basically replaced carrying a reg camera in the field.

[Pathfinder101]

Oh yeah,  I forgot.  There are two packs of MRE Toilet paper in my survival kit as well.  Not my primary TP (usually carry some in my pocket or pack if I have a feeling I am going to need it), but always nice to have an emergency supply...(if you've ever used MRE TP, you know why it's not my "primary"..   )

He is hunting cougars

Good cougar hunting in Cle Elum, I hear.  For the indiscriminate sort, anyway.  Meat hunters can do well there, I think.

Aside from alot of the stuff I see posted, I took a foam backpackers sleep mat, and cut about 3" from the side of it off. I use the remainder to stiffen the inside of my pack, and it will be used to lay on if I go down from injury or have to sleep out the night. From what I have read about injured guys getting hypothermia cause they are stuck to the ground, I figured I could afford the extra weight in the pack.

[sakoshooter]

I have a basic setup, but one thing I havent seen mentioned (unless I just missed it) was a sewing kit, alcohol, and superglue.  More than once have I had to stitch someone up because of a good slice.  After you make a good cross stitch, you put a little superglue over the wound (hurts like hell), but seals it up real well.
