Essential Gear EVERY Deer Hunter Needs in Their Pack

[@Levithehoff]

Hey Ron could you do a dedicated beginner hunters dos and don'ts video

[@drakeslocum2564]

Wasn’t expecting eyeballs😂. Great video sir!

[@ronaldjohnson1474]

Pretty much the same as what I carried in the military, except for the spotting scope, sitting pad & filet knife (danged Geneva Convention). Covey showing unconditional love!

[@johnnash5118]

I typically hunt Roosevelt elk 4-5 miles per day on BLM land in Western Oregon’s Trask unit. I shortened the binocular strap to just below the chin for minimal distance to eyes and to keep the binos from flopping and banging; use them with your shooting sticks to steady and prolong scanning clearcuts and other open areas; that, traversing aid and solidifying my aim is why I chose the 3-legged Trigger Stick. I don’t carry a pack, just what I’ll need to field dress in my big rear vest pockets- duct tape, kitchen trash bags, light tarp; traveling light is much quieter and easier to traverse brush and logs.

[@luvtahandload7692]

I agree with the part about the short bino strap. I keep mine short enough that if I'm wearing a ball cap, I have to remove it to remove the binos from around my neck. 😊

[@abbeybremner4162]

Meat bag. Gps unit. Emergency beacon. Bags for heart and smallgoods. I wrap 3 layers of electrical tape Around Stock of rifle. First aid kit

[@Clayman5577]

Need to see that mountain hunt loadout

[@garywoodlief1976]

Other things i carry is a pencil and note pad and survey ribbon for marking and a whistle for a noise maker and a small flash light

[@txtpqb]

Beautiful dog, gotta love the setters and pointers.

[@jk-kr8jt]

Ron, great to see Covey make an appearance again. She's a beautiful girl. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Cheers Jeff

[@danielmaine45]

In addition im a big fan of carrying a package of dude wipes, some game bags a large black contractor bag, spare batteries, and a first aid kit.

[@cervus-venator]

Thanks Ron. I feel lost when I don't have my binoculars around my neck. It is way past due to get a new pair, but I just love the ones I have and it is hard to give them up.

[@PATCsawyer]

Wow, is that a load out. Lucky me in Northern Michigan where I'm hunting three steps out the back door with a rifle, knife, and deer drag.

[@kerrynisbet1514]

It's interesting how people use their packs in different parts of the world. I'm from New Zealand and here almost nobody would use a pack like yours. The majority of the packs here have a single main compartment and few or no pockets or other compartments. My favorite pack is a single compartment canvas mountaineering pack, It's nice an narrow so doesn't snag when bashing through the bush, we also generally use a plastic pack liner for waterproofing as weather here is not stable. I've even used my pack a couple of times as a flotation device to get across rivers. Most of the contents would generally be quite similar, without the sitting pad and shooting sticks - although I'd like to try them out sometime. I would generally just carry a single hunting knife, although if I did trophy hunted I'd probably carry more.

[@Sagebrush_10025]

A small balloon also works to protect muzzle in wet weather. FWIW - I include gut gloves, unscented wet wipes, gut hook tool, and "Butt-Out 2" tool in my pack.

[@bodynfocus]

Such great info. Thanks for sharing your years of experience. My only prayer is we have enough young people coming along to keep our ways alive ... 🙏

[@jamessotherden5909]

Thanks for sharing what's in your pack.

[@txtpqb]

Some sort of para cord or rope in a small bundle. Many uses for it. thanks Ron!

[@aspitofmud6257]

Spare eyeballs. That's a first. 🙄😂🤣🤠

[@anthonybacon7073]

I would add some sort of first aid kit.

[@bryanhammond7783]

First aid kit, quick clot powder, tourniquet, just in case of a bad cut or god for bid a gunshot wound.

[@desperado8605]

Glad I'm not the only one that has primary,secondary and tertiary gear

[@jeffreyhall838]

Excellent Video Ron! One of your best 👍

[@danielbrazeau7001]

Great tips and lovely dog, her coat his gorgeous! Love the way you do videos!😀

[@luvtahandload7692]

I keep a $20 bill in my license holder in case I need to hitch a ride or buy a little gas off somebody. One thing in your kit I would leave at home is the suppressor. Simply not needed for big game hunting. Thanks for the vid, Ron!

[@leftylefty77]

How do you carry your water?

[@jrad9582]

I took a look at Open Range Creations' gallery and those boxes are gorgeous. I knkw what my first "luxery" purchase is going to be once I have all of my practical gear squared away. New, adult onset hunter by the way, I've learned so much from your channel.

[@agabla]

awesome looking forward to seeing how you like that howa superlite

[@doncavanaugh4268]

Flashlight and headlamp. I’m sure you carry them but forgot to mention them. Tourniquet and some basic first aid. Cell phone and battery pack. I have a flashlight that doubles as a phone recharger. Spare reading glasses. Multitool. Love all of your videos. You speak the language of the common man. Please do some African hunting content.

[@alexanderf4152]

Just found your videos, have heard of you of course but now that i am retired i'm watching youtube more. Love your videos and your dog :). Best Wishes!!! A from NJ

[@stefanocappella9612]

I wear orange touque and my puppy has an orange vest here in Alberta Canada 🇨🇦

[@gregtruchot8826]

Nice bag dump Ron. Thanks!

[@farmerwayne1404]

Good girl 🐕!! Thanks, Ron!

[@WoodsWalkerOutdoors]

Very nice set up! I'm about to be putting my own large pack together for public land hunts and far off public land hunts. I was surprised you didn't pull any kind of med kit out though med kit is one of my top things along with fire starting tools. Love your videos

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

Excellent and thorough explanation of what you normally take on a plains style deer 🦌 hunt. I actually bought an Eberlestock F7 Kite 🪁 pack and F1 Mainframe as a combo western pack and something to carry my tree 🌳 saddle sticks and platform but also be able to pack out a deer 🦌. But I think that the X2 would be a better choice for the latter even though it won’t haul weight like the F1 Mainframe

[@jeremywilson15147]

When it comes to fire starting methods, one is "none", two is "one", and you always want to carry more than "one".

[@carlstephens-tm7zj]

Merry Christmas Ron and family

[@gosseuffe]

Grate video! I would recommend a first aid kit too. Just in case. Maybe you have one on your person.

[@josephlau8476]

I like hunting very much

[@salacommander2674]

Covey is a good gorl

[@jonmiller6933]

Great video thanks for sharing

[@c.alejandro1259]

Wholesome video brother!

[@tacticalrabbit308]

Field dressing gloves and hand warmers.

[@brentrudderham3060]

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@christopherwalls2763]

Nice setup

[@josojoso1974]

Maybe first aid kit?

[@jonathanhudson3337]

Hey Ron I have watched multiple of your videos. I want to get in to hunting but don't have money for multiple rifles. I see you like the 7mm rem mag as your best do all cartridge. If I'm wrong you can correct me but would you do a video on best rifle/scope/suppressor. For the 7mm rem mag or if I'm wrong whatever best do all cartridge. Thanks

[@leroynelson4717]

Water!! Need some water to drink and a GPS unit!

[@mathiaslindqvist4319]

What are those shooting sticks? Home made? I have a Primos tripod that I rarely use because of the weight and are looking for something that I can carry in my back pack.

[@RonSpomerOutdoors]

Predator Snipe Stix. Not sure if they're still made. Essentially long aluminum "arrow" tubes joined in center with heavy rubber. Inner tube would work.

[@threeEyedKing]

Here for the cute dog.

[@TMFShooting]

Great Stuff Ron 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@k9six185]

Add one MRE or equivalent……..

[@texpatriot8462]

You need a tourniquet and a basic first aid kit

[@mikewest712]

I was telling my boy the other night why I wear the belts I do. Tourniquets are key. And need to be fast to get to.

[@michaelwilson9986]

Well Done😉👍

[@stuartdodson6630]

Bic lighters work well, too.

[@anthonygendron9737]

Hey Ron. What do you take for water? I didn’t see anything for liquids.

[@RonSpomerOutdoors]

I just slide a plastic water bottle or two in the side pockets. You may prefer a bladder-style container.

[@dudeman1455]

So you use the black hefty bags for the deer meat?

[@RonSpomerOutdoors]

Sure, any garbage bag like that. Just avoid the scented ones. Who knows what's in that scent.

[@t2brfu67]

Puppy :))

[@makeittang88]

No water?

[@jayfry905]

Ron doesn’t need water

[@VigAdventures]

eye balls?! lol you gotta be kidding

[@jasonphillips1879]

a pocket knife dressed many deer with mine when i forgot my big knife

[@COWBOY568]

First aid kit ?

[@adamkadir3803]

How do you go about food and water?

[@RonSpomerOutdoors]

Whatever sandwich or snack bars, jerky I want goes in the pack. Water usually in a plastic soft drink bottle or two.

[@adamkadir3803]

@@RonSpomerOutdoors hey thanks for your reply. I assume then you're not out in the field for more than a couple days at a time?

[@johanvanderwath9109]

Everything but a first aid kit!!!!

[@alicesteele9061]

Where's your GPS radio and phone

[@mrparlanejxtra]

I think the set of fake deer eyeball covers is a bit OCD.

[@BrokenBarBox]

Ok fudd…

[@bensullivan2750]

To anyone who sees this I recommend you follow Jesus so that you can have eternal life with him in heaven.

[@WallyMerc06]

Boo boo kit/trauma kit
