Tell someone where you are going and when you plan to be back and DON'T change the plan unless you notify that person!
You need to have a pack of some kind. Carry it each time you go out. I like a lumbar pack as it has plenty of room and the shoulder straps keep it from drooping down on your butt like a fanny pack does. I prefer the lumbar pack made by True North called "The Load Monster" (you can get it from
www.altrec.com). It has plenty of straps to strap on a light coat, sweater, or a vest when you are working hard going up hill or when the sun comes up and you don't need all the layers.
I carry:
A liter of water and some way of refilling it
a water filter.
Three ways to START a fire
Matches in a waterproof container, and 2 "metal match" type strikers.
Three types of tinder - a 35mm film canister will hold 12 cotton balls, my favorite are fuel cells for heating MREs -(the purple tablet ones). They start with ONE strike from the metal match. Toilet paper can be the 3rd type of fire starter. A short candle is great too.
Heavy-duty aluminum foil for cooking or heating water.
12' of nylon rope (for dragging the animal or to build a lean-to) & 10' of bailing twine.
A space blanket and a large garbage bag (rain cover or to line a lean-to).
3 small flashlights (one headlamp, 1 cheap plastic one, 1 small Maglite) & extra batteries.
Start out with new batteries in all of them. It helps if they all use the same size of battery.
2 knives for cleaning and skinning, one is a 3 1/2" fixed blade the other is a 3" folder of good quality.
A Gerber combination saw with one bone blade and one blade for cutting wood.
An Otis gun cleaning kit, the type that is in a small round pouch. (
www.otisgun.com) You never know when you will stumble and shove the muzzle into the dirt or snow.
Sometimes I carry an MRE but mostly I just carry several energy bars of some kind.
A good compass, a map of the area marked in UTM grids, AND a GPS set to use UTM grids. If you have one, learn to use a GPS and UTM grids, much easier than figuring out latitude and longitude with declination involved too.
I carry a referees whistle, a signal mirror, and a space blanket.
A small first aid kit and personal medication (Imodium & Ibuprofen come to mind)
Have surveyors tape in any color than orange (too much orange tape in the woods now).
A sheet of plastic (4 X 6) or a poncho. A LARGE heavy-duty trash bag will work.
I have a pen to sign my tag with. Rubber gloves (the type used when staining woodwork) for cleaning the animal. Include spare socks and gloves & a camera for happy pictures.
