New to Lemmy so wanted to start creating some engaging content for new hunters who may land here.

What’s the must haves in your pack?

Mine is a life jacket strobe light. Occasionally I get weird glances when people see it at camps, etc. but it has more than once been used to guide people to our location after recovering game at sunset. I originally carried it in the event I was lost while hiking since I solo often in Arizona’s Southern Mountain ranges for Deer .

    SHIT KIT.

    Toilet paper, biodegradable wet wipes, backpacking trowel.

    My hunting breakfast is a protein shake with coffee in it and a banana. It’s inevitable that nature will call.

      I once had the bubble guts so bad in the field I used every once of toiletries and a camo head wrap. It was so bad that later on a different group of hunters stumbled upon it and when I ran into them the next day they were like “Something was definitely sick over there on the other side of that ridge.”
