Handy Camp Items??
« on: February 10, 2011, 05:51:00 PM »
So what items do you find really handy, and wouldn't head off to deer camp without?  Things that really just help to make camp a little more comfortable or enjoyable.  Let's hear it!

Small Folgers container with a roll of TP with the center pulled out.  Waterproof and easy to find.

A good compass and map of the area I will be hunting in.
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. TGMM ♥

A camp axe. They can be used for a bunch of things. Something to read can be invaluable if you are by yourself. Or a good hunting buddy is always nice to have around,lol.

Dang pavan, do you leave anything at home?   :D  x2 on the 550 cord, about a 100ft of it! A good canvas tarp, vasiline soaked cotten balls, some good dry tender, and several ways to start a fire. Hot or cold a good fire is nice!! Jason

An empty plastic bottle to put near the sleeping bag. It has to seal well and it has to be big enough   :scared:  .

I hate having to get up in the middle of the night.

I'll state the obvious...Bow, and plenty of projectiles.  Everything else just takes up space.
