![]() i tend to pack as light as possible and use items that have more than one use. i usually bring a light but sturdy pack with double stitched straps, a blast match magnesium fire starter, a machete, cold steel sheath knife and sharpening stone, military 100 mph tape wrapped around a lighter, 550 cord, compass, extra socks, first aid kit, a good map, ammo and water and extra socks and a couple stripped down military rations. doesent sound like much and it aint, but it is the essentials and i have found it covers most all normal hunting situations. granted terrain and climate dictate necessities, so tailor accordingly.

![]() is 550 cord pricey? And also, what's a good container to store a bunch of .22LR rimfires, cause if they rattle around too much and one decides to go off, that's an ugly situation!!!

![]() A good knive, hat and dog.

![]() There are umpteen different fire starting toys...er...um...I mean tools!
![]() While I think it's great to have several firestarting methods available, make sure you can use them easily! |

![]() Box Hatchet. Hammer, axe, pry bar, and nail puller all in one tool. Mine is a quarter of an inch thick and has a wooden handle. She ain't pretty and she's pretty damn heavy, but she's cheap, and she is a work horse I tell you. She's probably the ugliest, cheapest, most reliable, and most used tool in my bag.

![]() Let's see:
1) A whistle 2) A GOOD map of the area. 3) A small roll of duct tape 4) Five different ways to start a fire 5) A space blanket 6) A Grundig or Midland crank radio (preferably w/ weather radio bands) 7) 10-20 electrical zip ties 8) At least two flashlights 9) A small medicine bottle w/ pain reliever, anti-diarrheal,anti-allergy medications in it. 10) Several small votive candles (for light,cooking,etc) |

![]() Flashlight and a headlamp with extra batteries, some bug spray ,a compass and map of the surrounding area.
A hand held GPS wouldn't hurt either. I have the Garmin Etrex H nothing fancy but it will get me from point a to point b and back. |

![]() Thank you. And I knew I would forget something. No, I don't have the chopsticks. Those would not work very well for the Mountain House meals, which is what I generally eat when backpacking. I just use one of these:
http://www.lightmyfireusa.com/spork.html I would get the titanium one, but this is the first I have ever seen them. I use one of the ourdoor ones. My local camping store carries them. They are a polycarbonet that will not melt in boiling water, light and tough as nails. |
