[jackelope]

small pill bottle with cottonball soaked in vaseline

got me on that one...why??
i guess i forgot to  add my fire source, rope  and TP.

[WDFW-SUX]

Is it fire starter?

[boneaddict]

Best compact firestarter in the world.  The cotton acts as a wick and burns the petroleum even if its pouring rain, or freezing cold.  It spreads out over the little tinder and helps it get burning.  Try it sometime at home.

[jackelope]

thanks...thats why i like these kind of topics.
learning something new every day.
i had no idea.

[Machias]

Make sure you use the 100% cotton balls and really work the vaseline in.  Probably one of the best fire starters you can use.

I carry:
50ft of 550 cord
heavy duty space blanket
water purification tablets
2types of fire starters
lighter
knives
whistle
strobe light
small first aid kit
pr socks
MRE
hydration bladder
dental floss
surveyors tape
small tape measure
plastic garbage bag (makes a handy rain coat in a pinch)
extra batteries
gps
map
compass
UTM Grid scale
Military Challenge coin   (can't be caught without that!)

[boneaddict]

Yep, dental floss, thought I was the only one.  When that jerky gets caught its a pain the the mouth for a long day.  and yep the compass.  Usually not the GPS, except when I was in Alaska, and the compass still saved my bacon.

[Fletch]

Gps, food, hydration bladder, firestarter(lighter,matches), H bone saw, rope, extra knife, camera, small maglite, lens pen, tp, electricians tape. (sometimes: a bigger saw, gamebags, extra clothes/gloves...cloth measuring tape...)

I remember the  days I left the truck with my extra shells and some tp and a piece of twine  that is all.  Oh the simple days!

[jackelope]

right...my buddy and i that hunt together get picked on every year when we leave for the day by the old guys. they tell us we look like we just walked out of cabela's. they are wearing jeans, a jacket, have a bottle of water and their knife. i leave with my 30lb pack with my rifle stuffed in the scabbard...

[bobcat]

That's funny. I miss those days too, when I would leave the truck with only a canteen, a knife, and my rifle.

Oh...and NO orange! 

[Fletch]

Ah yes...No Orange...what happened to the good ol'days 

[littletoes]

jackalope,
those guys don't get very far from the truck!

It seems that every time I decide to leave my pack, I end up "lacking" something I need, something that is in my pack.

Eagle Becker Patrol Pack
I LOVE all the pockets. Save the main compartment for big items such as rain gear, cleaning/boning kit, drag line, large water bladder, etc.

I've added some custom pouches to the front kidney belt to hold my Leica Rangefinder, gps-compass, and the ever essential CAMERA!  These items I want close to hand, and NOBODY takes enough pictures!

I like a photo album dedicated to hunting and the outdoors. The best of memories.

The Becker is great for getting around in the woods. No noise, and it can either hug your back, or it can loaded with some big items like a sleeping bag etc. Not everybodies favorite, but I like it.
