Mr. Waddell, I’ve seen you and the bone collector crew through different television series through the years and have seen products with bone collector on them in my outdoor retailers that I go to, but in all honesty, I’ve never really paid attention to you guys. Well, I got Covid recently. It hit me hard but thank God I didn’t have to go to the hospital. Anyway, while being laid up for 2 weeks I found y’all on KZbin and went down a serious bone collector rabbit hole. Long story short, you’ve made a fan out of me for life. I love how you all seem incredibly genuine and how you tell it like it is. Seems to me that it’s true when you say that you’re just like us out here and in the days of this social media b.s. with men and women “hunters” doing whatever they can for likes, you guys are a real breathe of fresh air. You guys really got me through a tough spot with Covid and I’m grateful. Please keep the content coming wether it’s hunting adventures or bow advice or whatever! Thanks again- Fan for life- Dan

That truck is str8 gorgeous! Haha sorry but wow!

[@david.6040]

TP, hot hands must haves!

[@doublej963]

Who in the blue hell would give this a thumbs down? Those people are funny. Anyway we made it to ELK Camp!!! A week of scouting, then we go do the deed, wish me luck I’m gonna need it. Go stuff waddy, keep up the good work 🎯

[@leonj1102]

Ok just WOW. Now you need a video going over that truck!!!!

[@CMMC-zb1gw]

Clear, concise, and to the point. Great job on the video Brother

[@JacobSchmittDeerHuntingSchool]

Bone Collector sucks!!! I wasn’t even to worried about the opening day in a couple weeks now I just had to watch this video this morning before I got up. Now I’ve done bought my license, am going to pull all my trail camera cards, and am fining to go kill a big buck. It’s all because I watched a video of what Michelle Waddle caries in his backpack. I might be crazy but I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

[@BoneCollectorTube]

Go get em! Happy hunting brother 🙌

[@JacobSchmittDeerHuntingSchool]

@@BoneCollectorTube thanks and when I kill one and PETA gets pissed I’m going to blame it on you. LOL!!!

[@windellpenton]

Extra release, few flash lights, TP, compass, pruner, and thermacell ..

[@baddazzriderturner3321]

Been watching you since you were a young man and about the most I respect good luck on your session my brother 👍👍👍

[@jimmyharper6655]

Good list! I'd also have to add a flashlight or a headlamp. Where we live here in south GA, I'd always carry along a Thermacell as well. And we may not want to talk about it, but it's always a good idea to pack a small roll of TP just in case!

[@shadyp-zv3uf]

Georgia season starts in less than 48 hours, let's get after'em boys!

[@daltonbarcia9216]

Waddy, the only thing you're missing is a thermacell. You know these mosquitoes in the south will carry you away! Happy hunting 2021

[@patsfanb6]

No snacks Michael..sweet baby Ray's jerky,m&m peanuts is a must in my bone collector bag...

[@WILDBILLSOUTDOORS]

He's got them deer figured out so good, he ain't in the stand long enough to get hungry! :)

[@huntingandfishingwithlogan2367]

It’s always good to bring an extra trigger release too but I’m going to use some of your tips as well!!!

[@fatrabbit32]

Informative and quick Waddy! Mine is very similar. Just got back from IL checking cams and hung a stand. Countdown has begun. Good luck this year!

[@WILDBILLSOUTDOORS]

I like to use a fanny pack during bow season, back pack during gun season. Personal preference, but it's so hot here in the south in early season I try to keep it to a bare minimum, But when rifle season rolls around I have my backpack loaded and ready, usually have a couple bottles of water and something to eat, a roll of tp, extra ammo in case I get attacted by some wild pigs or a troop of sasquatches, or run into some tweakers that want to be stupid!

[@thelzmovement6480]

The tweaker statement is so true for me (Alabama) 😂

[@HuntsvilleHunter]

@@thelzmovement6480 Me too brother!

[@jonathondick6580]

Goddamn Sasquatches man, wild bastard😂

[@maikp5505]

Straight to the point. Well done video.

[@matthewsilvis3714]

Awesome video,I have almost the same stuff in my back back. Good luck hunting.

[@garrettstraffon608]

👍🏻 DONT forget your release! Lol

[@anthonycantatore8967]

I always have a back pack when I go deep but for the most part I can pack all the stuff I take right in my hunter safety vest and my cargo pockets sometimes I ask myself how stuff is too much stuff but you guys know how it is if you don’t take something it’s irritating when you realize you needed it for that sit lol don’t know how many times that’s happened to me out there!!!!!!

[@toms7947]

Beautiful yard!!

[@skylerstevens2336]

I love your video

[@TheCarolinacadmanOutdoors]

This video inspired me to do one of my own. By the time I got my pack empty the video is 24 minutes long! Michael, you're missing the most important item!

[@zootycoon246]

Sick backyard or is it your frontyard? Can launch arrows as far as you can see! Love it!

[@jbird8854]

Only one thing missing in your whitetail backpack. Toilet paper. LOL. Love y’all’s videos.

[@Charlies_Outdoors]

Ain’t trying to be a smart ass, but after reading some of the comments, didn’t Michael say these are just “SOME” of the things I usually carry? Good video and advice Michael..by the way, you forgot your bow or gun…just kidding!!

[@flounderwetspot8524]

Just about time to start stomping grasshoppers and making gut piles #comeon

[@salder70]

How much does your bag weigh? I am trying to slim my bag down. I over cary on lights and water.

[@davemurphy4056]

No snacks bud??? Lol

[@Joe-fc8ne]

No Thermacell? That kind of toughness more than makes up for the hand warmers.

[@samboozer4099]

I use Sawyers insect repellent, works better than a thermocell and cheaper. I spray down my hunting clothes and they are good for 5-6 washings.

[@philphil4725]

I always take extra release

[@BoneCollectorTube]

We do too!

[@carolinawhitetails6232]

Hey, man. Would it be possible to get you for a zoom interview for my channel to talk about the upcoming deer season?

[@johnwillingham1748]

Can you send me a list if it's not to much trouble sir.

[@largemouthtv3383]

Hi Michael what is your opinion on carrying a spare bow release

[@BoneCollectorTube]

Absolutely!

[@jackrabbit3791]

You forgot the beef jerky!

[@ronlongwellphoto]

Thanks, Michael. What pack are you carrying these days?

[@Charlies_Outdoors]

Seems to be a Badlands in the video.,

[@markb.1259]

Michael... you forgot THE most important item. Several turns of paper off a toilet paper roll.... for those "In the field emergencies"!!! :-)

[@chrisguyjr]

field wipes are perfect for this!

[@danielvrana9444]

Fire starter extra steel wool & a flare gun. Don’t laugh it might happen to you. That’s what I thought. Lol

[@WNE8]

Why steel wool?

[@danielvrana9444]

Steel wool is the best fire starter!! Put a spark on that up she goes. Even wet it’s great.

[@danielvrana9444]

You can start a fire with a 9 volt battery also but batteries go out so Depending on them are a crap shoot But a spark shooter is always good!!

[@WNE8]

Good to know! Thanks

[@mudbugsoff-road4081]

No flash lights or headlampS??

[@BoneCollectorTube]

Yes, we'll usually have some sort of light.

[@jdweed2149]

Where is the si podcast?

[@BoneCollectorTube]

Realtree 365 app and Apple podcasts

[@jdweed2149]

@@BoneCollectorTube thank you 🙏

[@fullyenvenomated757]

From a fellow "damned ole country boy" that's alot of shit to carry man!

[@michaelsurratt28]

He doesn't walk to far to his tree.

[@austinquinlivan8304]

Toilet paper?
