The not so obvious hunting trip check list .

[Sam McMichael]

A friend of mine uses a very detailed list for everything he does. The very last item on his list is "The List".

For me, extra finger tabs is always on my list. I put one in my haversack, one in my vest pocket, and two attached to my arm guard.

Insect repellant! I don't use the Thermacell since I had one blow up. Pee bottle is useful, too.

First aid items:  betadine swabs to clean a dirty wound, H compression bandage, clotting bandage, wound stapler.   Magnifying glasses,  sharp fine needle, good tweezers to remove splinters, thorns.  If you need to repair a pack or tent,  a heavy duty sewing machine needle, heavy duty nylon thread and multi tool pliers to hold/push the needle.

hand sanitizer, sharpener for knife/broadheads, two ways to start fire, water cup.

Socks, lots of extra socks. Nothing will ever beat a dry, clean pair of socks at the end of a hard day

[goingoldskool]

Electrical tape...  sticks to everything wet or dry.

I always carry a bottle of some sort of antidiarrheal meds.  Time pooping is time wasted.

For diarrhea (the trotts, as granddad called it)...  when I was overseas, the doc would tell us to eat yogurt. Seems to put some sort of culture back into your system.

I've been told on several occasions I needed culture, but I think that doc was inferring to something else!

No stick gauze and athletic tape can go a long way in the first aid department

[Rough Run]

Moleskin.  Good for blisters, obviously - but so many other things, too.

A couple thoughts from my NYS backpacking trips. Redundancy - two is one, one is none. Extra glasses, extra glove, extra strin, multiple ways to start fire - vasaline cotton balls, char cloth, matches, ferno rod, a few lighters. Other considerations: duct tape, cordage, emergency whitle - wear around neck, marking tape. If you are going out in warm weather don't count on springs or smaller water sources. Carry some type or 2 of water perification- iodine piles, filter, boil water. Signal mirror, space blanket, a small foam pad to kneel or sit on. Water is the heaviest thing you will carry- use Guatoraide bottles - lighter then nalgine. High fat / high calorie foods, jute cord - can make a birds nest for starting a fire. Small piece of aluminum foil to put on ground if wet to build fire on. Alcohol wipes - first aid and used as a emergency fire starter. Neck knife - always on your person.
I keep a whistle, neck knife, lighter vasiline balls in my person at all times. Just some quick thinking.

Dont care how deep in the willywags I am...gotta bring my toothbrush to start the day off right!  After a few days I may smell like a heathen but dont necessarily have to live like one  

[JimB]

In addition to spare string (already broken in)and stringer,I carry arrow rest material and extra nocks.

[Roadkill]

Extra prescribed medications.  Baby wipes.  Clothes pins. Allergy meds

[Longtoke]

dang, going to need a spare mule to carry all this stuff.

Gorden Macquarrie said in his books he didn't go into the bush to rough it but to smooth it! At 59 I think I get that. Don't forget the alka seltzer. It's a long NIGHT with an upset stomach. Plop plop.

[Hummer3T]

blood clotter, just in case

Sometimes, half the fun is improvising some redneck solution because I forgot something or something broke.

You never stated what kind of hunting trip and duration. Is a road side tent camp in the mountains, a drop camp, a canoe/raft trip, a fly in trip, a backpacking trip, or African trip. Each type of trip will dictate what to bring and quantities. Most of my trips have been forest tent camps or backpacking trips where rescue is within a day or two weather permitting. I always pack a small 1st aid kit and meds that would cover me for three days (sample sizes). If more remote setting I wound carry a much larger 1st aid/trauma/meds kit and a satellite phone.
