What's your top favorite accessory in the woods.

My arm guard, it has a knife in it... Last year I shot a big gobbler and he flopped around then took off. I found myself moving faster than I remember moving in a while all in hot pursuit of the big bird. The gobbler ran under a pile of Cedar and that's when I realized I had left my bow back at the tree I was hunting. I grabbed the bird by the legs and then put my armguard knife to work. The whopping 5.5" knife did it's job.

Aside for the basics. Such as things you should have with you at all times. The things I litke to carry extra R my binos no doubt. Second would be hand warmers. It has let me hang on a few more hours. Either my body, or feet. Mostly feet. They are a real saver for me when it gets nasty. I do like carrying my glock but usually end up taking it only when I hunt spots with bears.

I think there's a difference between ACCESSORY AND NECESSITY and I think those things vary depending on where you live and hunt and how far you have to travel to hunt where you do.. For instance if my hunting spot was a walk from my house like it used to be, I'd bring a light and a knife. Both necessities. And what else would you need?  (NJ DEER)
Here in Colorado (for me) necessities are my day pack, filled with water, knife,light, batteries, extra clothes (typically rain gear), GPS. Minimum, accessories would be a face mask, and my gun.
Fun read....

I don't need a thermacell during deer season-no mosquitoes in the woods where I hunt - too high and dry.

My favorite accessory (I'm a tree stand fanatic) is a simple rubber coated screw in hook for my bow. Of course my haul line is pretty important tool

Every time I leave the house for a hunt mine goes, bow, stronger, arrows, knife.  You can navigate without a light,, shoot without a glove, hunt while gold, but you can't gut without a knife.

Swarovskis

Definitely TP.  I've been in the woods without it and a handful of oak will do the job, but not nearly as well nor pain free!    :(

joe Nichols:  but you can't gut without a knife.

JUst in case you forget a knife , lose it ect. ( probably never happen) a broadhead works . been there and done that.

Binos and Little Debbie cakes.

[northener]

Got to love little Debbie. She's in my lunch box most everyday

[Trinity Bowcrafter]

My favorite is my wind checker, of any kind.  Keeps me in the hunt.

[Hoyt]

My pruners and more for snipping my way through thick green brair than anything else..except for the time when I mistook my green bowstring for a green brair vine and almost cut it into.

I still get a squeamish feeling sometimes when snipping through brairs..you can bet I hold my bow way back and up for every snip now.

[Boxbow]

binocs for sure, I'm amazed at the amount of game I'm able to spot and watch. Feel naked without them.

[YORNOC]

pruning shears, January thru December I have them in my right hand while scouting, hunting, stump shooting.
A knife is not really an accessory for me. Its a necessity, otherwise it would be the knife.

[PUDDLE JUMPER]

Favorite is my Walstool. I use it with the legs collapsed not extended. Not perfect since I need a tree for back support; but not a problem where I live.

Light, quiet, and oh so comfortable. I pick out my tree and I am hunting in 20 seconds. 28 oz.
