Not necessary for everyone, but as a solo hunter I carry an old sheet. I pack it in a vacuum bag and use it as a ground cloth while I butcher, especially for elk. It keeps the meat out of the dirt as I bone it, until I can get it into a game bag.

Lighter than an old sheet is a cheap emergency blanket. Small abd has a double use if needed

Picnic table cloth is easy. Light disposable and doesn’t reflect heat and get sticky like a emergency blanket 👍🏼

Mamma always said start every critique with a compliment. Love watching you guys, and I watch every one of y’all’s videos. Every one of us flat landers back east that soak up your content, and dream of one day being on one of these hunts would have came up with that same pack. Steve normally has a pack on his back that looks like he could crawl in it twice. We watch all y’all’s videos to find the things we would have never thought of. It felt like y’all was rushing to push content out and left a bunch of things out. With that being said I’ll continue to watch every video y’all put out and absorb every bit of knowledge I can.

@@jonathanmoughton8622 Yep. Specifically in Colorado, leg gaiters for all the brush sub 10,000 feet, bug repellent (September), and baby wipes which might be the most important. The last few years archery season has been climbing into the 80’s around 9000/10,000 feet. It gets hot! Stay cool and get meat cooled asap.

I started committing to staying out all day long on my public land deer hunts were I hike in around a mile in the dark and stay until dark. Nothing really hard core but I almost never see any other hunters and I normally plan on packing out a quartered up deer instead of dragging it out. A good day pack that can haul meat has changed the game for me

There are 5 survival essentials that I believe everyone should always have in their backcountry pack. Knife, compass (phone w/ OnX also works), signal (whistle or InReach), lite, and fire starter (water proof matches or lighter). Anything else is icing on the cake IMO.
@soonerfrac46114 ай бұрын
I’m still a big fan of a physical compass just in case. Down in the bottom of a valley with dense trees signal may not work, the compass may or may not either. One thing Scouts and later as an adult helping with Trail Life was 3 different forms of fire starting, ideally located in different areas of your body/pack.

I'd have a second pair of socks, rain gear and extra jacket. A good jacket at night would be nice to have when the temps drop. I like to have a poncho with me for rain gear. An excellent knife is the Mora knives on Amazon. I've used one on several elk, along with a Havalon.

Good call on the knife sharpener. I’ve never carried one in my pack, but after killing 2 elk in 3 days with my buddy last year I’m definitely gonna carry a sharpener for now on. Half way thru the second elk my knife was toast. Luckily my buddy had 2 knives and let me use 1. I felt like a real Trent without my own sharp knife. Jk, love you guys.

KZbin, some ultralight backpackers or thru hikers. you will never see them bringing extra sets of clothes or anything. Weight gain is unnecessary and adds up very quickly.
