A Pic Is Worth 1,000 Words - Show Your Day Pack Contents

[Bud B.]

If you go on day hunts or morning/afternoon hunts, not full blown pack-in hunts, but those not far from home or truck, show us what you take along in your pack that you consider a bare bone essential.

Pics please. With a list if you like, but looking for pics of the packs, haversacks, quiver pouches with the stuff laid out for us to eye. It'll help me and I'm sure it'll help others decide on what should be taken vs. what really isn't necessary or is just plain overkill. I know I've carried too much, but finding that balance is something most of us still seek and some of you have mastered.

Would love to see pics from RC and Pat B. on what they carry on their woods tours.

A Trad Gang Powerpoint, if you will, of hunt gear essentials.

I'm guilty of overkill. So help me slim down my pack of essentials.

Did I ask for pics please????

Thank you hunting veterans.

I have switched to a backpack this year but the contents are the same. I want to be able to hold clothes better later in season and more easily do some overnights. I did add some zip ties and a wheelie sharpener though. I also switched out the water bottles for a Camelbak.

 

Here is the contents of the med/surv kit.

I've been eyeing those Asbell haversacks..I'm a back quiver hunter most of the time......many thanks for the pics. That's exactly what I'm looking for.

Bud, a haversack is the way to go if you are a backquiver hunter. I use one every year and have some past posts on ones that I've made.

Here's a pic from a CO turkey hunt a couple springs ago. I didn't keep all the knives in there, just stored them over the winter and took them out at camp while getting organized at the last minute.

 

I was using my truck as a windbreak, it was really blowing that evening...

 

I use the same pack in MI for whitetails, but I've added a water bladder since then and the contents vary. Been trying to downsize too.
