Well Friday I head out for a cow moose hunt in Fairbanks Alaska. I have been shooting 40-75 arrows a day, broadheads, field points to 50 yards and have the bow cranked to 70 pounds.

Have checked every screw on the bow and have something to tighten them with just in case.

Have a dozen arrows that have been spun and checked, extra knocks and spare broadheads.

Broadheads are all sharpened razor sharp and threads waxed.

Have inspected the string and waxed it.

Have an extra loop and fiber optic wire for the sights.

Packed the pack twice.

Have 9 game bags, three knifes, Wyoming saw, diamond hones, 2 pairs of bino's, range finder, extra batteries for everything, 2 lights & a propane lantern, latex gloves, rope, bow holders, 10 steps, treestand and safety belt, spare release, garbage bags, mountain bike, canoe & paddles, plastic bags, 5 coolers, Thermocell, bug dope, 1911 .45 acp for bears (hunting in a state park, thinking concealment here).

Did I miss anything? Sleeping in the camper so I did not include the other stuff or clothes.

You may want to take a spare string and a portable bow press.pan.

700+ miles on the truck, 20-25 miles on the legs. Saw one calf and bust one out of the brush. No shots, eyes are shot. Ran a fever and coughted and sneazed all weekend.

BUT, I am gonna do it again in two weeks!

I had matches, bow press would be no good, too complicated of a job. It was cold enough in the camper that a cup of water left on the floor had had 1/8" of ice on it. :roll:
