Traditional Woodsman Sling Pack Gear Dump!

[Roger Norris]

I had to unload my Sling Pack prototype to measure for packaging, and I thought it might be neat to record everything I have been hauling around this fall. This isn't everything I carry, my pockets have some essentials as well. One thing missing from this pic is a spare bowstring....becasue I recently had to use it thanks to an amazingly sharp broadhead

Not shown are lunch and a water bottle for all day sits. Pleanty of room in this Sling Pack!



Starting at 12:00 and going clockwise:

Licenses
Compass(2)
Spare tab
Alpaca beanie from Teresa Asbell...crazy warm
Leupold Lense Pen
Lighters (2)
Leather gloves for dealing with briars, etc.
Tracking tape
Field Dressing Gloves
Paper Towel
Paracord (I use it constantly, keep a 500 foot spool in my truck)
Tether for safety harness
Spare wool jacket (or vest)
Drag rope
Tourniquet (bleeding to death a mile from your truck is a dumb way to die)
Knives(2)
Saw
Lights (I have 2 more in pockets, never enough lights)
Batteries
Binoculars (It's one or the other, the compact Leupolds have been in use since 1998, the bigger ones are newer....using the big ones usually)

Good gear load out Roger. Can't wait to see the new pack in person. Are you going to be at the Kalamazoo show this year?

Thanks for Sharing! I'm glad to see your tourniquet, I always keep one a small stop the bleed kit. I guess 14 years of Law Enforcement has made me paranoid but a small stop the bleed kit is really underrated and I think all hunters should keep one in their pack.

I try and take a stop the bleed course every year or so. Our sport relies on sharp broadheads, axes, knives....just makes sense.

Very well put together Roger; thanks for sharing.
