I see so many show on TV where guys are lugging huge packs to the stand. I don't carry one at all. So what do you just have to have in the stand with you?

If I am hunting my lease and not somewhere else:
Grunt call
Flash light
Cover scent
Knife
Multi tool
Bread tie/zip tie (for attaching tags to animals)
Ink pen (to fill out tags)
Mini camera tripod
Digital camera
Binoculars (if they aint around my neck)
Toilet paper
Orange flaging tape
Wind floaters
Cell phone
Bottle of water
Candy/snacks
Gloves (cold weather)
Face mask (cold weather)
Sun glasses
Few extra rounds of ammo

That may sound like alot but it fits into a very small Shakari Cloth back pack that I have had for years. Might weigh 5-6 pound fully loaded.

Main compartment:
Lg Flash light
Garbage Bag
Water
Binos
Range finder
Snack
Extra ammo
Feeder battery checker
Spare feeder batt
Hunting knife
Small digital camera and spare sd cards

Right compartment:
Face mask
camo gloves
TP
Rubber gloves
Whistle
Lighter
Hunting licence & drivers licence

Left Compartment:
Elec tape
Orange marking tape
Compass
Grunt call
small flash light
small binos
Rabbit squeel call

Small web compartment:
Plires
Screw driver
Multi tool
Doe esterous
drag rag
Ink pen
Misc junk

AS it gets colder items are added, also rain suit if needed

I don't have anything in mine...left it at the wrong lease. Two LONG weekends without any of my goodies. Guess they werent that important after all.

Toilet paper *ding ding* we have a winner!!

None of that other stuff in the backpack seems quite as handy sometimes.

Too much!!!!!!!!!!!

Toilet Paper

WALK A FEW HOURS TO GET TO A SPOT , I
CARRY A BUTT PACK OR MY M-L SHOOTING BAG
WITH A CANTEEN , A MEAL , AN EXTRA CAN OF
SNUFF , MORE ROPE ,SPACE BLANKET ,MORE T-P ,

WOOL SOCKS

I'VE CARRIED WAY TOO MUCH CRAP IN THE PAST
AND NEVER USED IT OR SAW A NEED FOR IT IF
I LEFT IT BEHIND
