Forgot wallet.  Had to have wife wire money so I could buy gas to get home. :chuckle: Was lucky I was in Hood River during the day when I got low on gas.

Went to Colfaxto to go Pheasant hunting and my Cousin forgot his shotgun!
  Well Grandpa step in a buys him a new 1100.I was wishing I had forgot my gun
Needless to say about 3 months later he left his new gun leaning against the trailhead gate On Slater road........Never to be seen again.

I almost have to leave before I know what I forgot.

A spare sight.

10 miles into the Washakie wilderness and busted the pins off my G5 XR2. Had no backup sight so had to make crosshairs out of bailing twine and drill holes into the cheap magnesium housing to secure it. I've got pics of it somewhere

Found it

Did it work!

Don't remember what I have forgotten on trips but do know that I have never forgotten mountain money. :o

OMG This is good:
12 year old first year with dad (early 60s)
Coffee cups
paper plates
And I got WTF no Spam
As I got older
A varmint hunt in E-WA no bolt for the gun
A deer trip to MT again no bolt

Now my check off list is longer than the Gettysburg Address

But I always have TP because I've been told I'm full of sh&#.

Knife, twice.  Discovered it when I was leaving camp, so grabbed a (ghitsu) knife that was in the camper.  Shot a decent 4x5 Muley, and boned the whole deer out with that cheap serrated ghitsu.  It was long, but worked ok.  2nd  instance was when I discovered I only had a cheap multi tool after downing a bull 3 miles from the truck.  Ended up boning that out with a dull blade.

On a weeklong elk trip with my grandpa I forgot my coffee once (he doesnt drink coffee). Made for some long mornings and I drank more hot cocoa than I care to remember.

When I was pretty young my dad took me camping and ended up forgetting the sleeping bags. I thought we would have to cancel the trip but some improvisation and things turned out all right. Turns out canvas tarps arent the most comfortable blankets but they keep you warm enough.
