Not so obvious hunting trip check list.

#1 Post by Graps »

Ok, we need to make a check list for a long distant hunting trip that will be no where near a town to get things you might need.
Now I'm talking about the not so obvious things like tweezers, magnifying glass, tire pump, that sorta stuff.
So what have you thought of?

Multi tool with pliers, emergency six pack, small tin container, bag of Fritos, plastic trash bag, and ramen seasoning packets.

Definitely arrow 'fix-it kit'.
I have a small tackle box with nocks, field points super glue, point glue, Bitz, feathers, Stay Sharp and stones, and a bunch of other little misc things I take up north when I go stumping. It's come in real handy when you get down to only a couple functioning arrows.

How about string building jig and material just incase someone in the hunting party might need a new string.

Why not just bring in two shot in strings?? It said not so obvious so I skipped over extra strings.

Because the first year I went bear hunting I cut my bow string before the first time out to hunt and then I only had one string.
That made me a little uneasy. :?
Just saying, could be someone else could have an unexpected mishap with a string and no backup.

High quality duct tape.
Mole skin, good for if you get a blister on your foot. And can make a decent bow grip cover if you needed to fix a leather grip.
Blood clotting kit. In additional to a good first aid kit.
