Another thread got me to thinking....some of us are minimalists when it comes to what we take to the stand. Binoculars and rifle, thats all you need say some. I'm on the other end of the spectrum, I think the more you have to keep you occupied and comfy, the better off you are.
What all do you guys carry? I'll go first:
Rifle
Spotting scope
Backpack with standard gear, magazines and portable television
Thermos with coffee (or ice chest with drinks in the afternoon)
Tripod and camera
Camo fleece tied around waist in the afternoons
Wienerdog for company (hey, he loves it in the stand, so why not)
Anyone else?

I always try not to forget a compass, even though I also keep a GPS as well. A compass doesn't need batteries. If I need to track a deer for myself or to help another hunter, I want to be sure I can go as deep into the woods as necessary and know that I won't get turned around.
Which brings up a good topic for another discussion. How much effort do you normally put into looking for a deer that was thought to be hit?

"i have no idea why i would need more than my 4 shots on something"
Brandon: I carry extra ammo in case of an encounter with a sounder of hogs! Would never want to miss the chance to reduce the population as much as possible!
