Love the first part I pack the same way

This is always in my pack. Cottonelle wipes. I don't know about you boy's, but about three hours after 2 huge breakfast plates full of hash, eggs, bacon ends, and 3 or 4 cups good stiff black coffee, my system is due for a royal flushing. You can buy travlers pacs of cottonelles to throw in your fanny pack. Nothin' worse than havin' a sore monkey butt the rest of the day. Believe me, you use cottonelles and you'll never go back to packin' along standard TP! I put it up there right beside havin' my first aid kit, and extra flashlight batteries in importance. Nothin' worse than huntin' with a sore arse!! :tup:Bull

Honestly the only thing i bring every single time is a headlamp and gps.  Depending on what kind of hunting i am doing, I add things in.

I like your thinking got to keep it light weight.     If you cut the corners off your band-aids you can also shave an oz. or two.

A can opener?  Please don't tell me you are packing food in cans?

A can opener?  Please don't tell me you are packing food in cans? 

   I noticed that too. I can't imagine packing canned food. Your pack would weigh more on the way in, than the way out, even if you got something.

[Cascader74]

If you think that's bad, that ain't nothing, I eat damn good.  I just can't do all that cardboard powdered food crap, I'd be crapping sawdust hockey pucks not to mention the # it does on your guts.  I even throw frozen steaks in sometimes.
