Sometimes I carry a backpack. Sometimes a smaller sling pack. Sometimes just stick my stuff in my pockets.
I have 3 backpacks (small, medium and large) and a fanny pack and a sling pack. Honestly, that medium backpack is the workhorse and I could get by with just it.
I’m trying to pare my stuff down to a treeseat, pack, gun and a few sets of camos.

Calls that never get used, rattling horns, extra pair of gloves in case you drop first pair out of the tree. And of course lots of stuff that has already been mentioned.

Things usually in my pack: flashlight(s)-one headlight and one handheld, truck keys, knife, windicator bottle with powder, scent wicks (trails end 307, evercalm deer herd), 3 pack of earth wafers, bottled water or hydration bladder, binos and shoulder harness, ozonics and mount, and any extra clothing accessories such as gloves, face masks, beanies, battery powered hand warmer, power pack to recharge phone

Occasionally: tablet/laptop for checking trailcam, extra pull up rope, snacks

Limb saw, flagging tape, flash lights,550 cord,rain suit from time to time, latex gloves extra knife

Don't forget the CORN!

this can be over thought, but think for the worst then adjust, carry for it, then go hunting, and come out smiling. simple.

3 extra cartridges, flashlight and about 10 feet of para cord.

Gotta go aluminum bottles though.

Glass bottles clang around, and cans are too loud to open

I’m getting stressed out just thinking about packing all that crap into the stand with me 😀
No back back for me. If it can’t fit in my pockets it doesn’t go with me.

More than I should....gut hook, knife, flashlight, poncho, drag strap, orange skull cap, gloves, water, snack, blue bic pen, and small notebook. Like to jot down notes on. Weather sightings and kills.

I never carried a backpack until recently. Now I carry one religiously. It is loaded with an iPad, extra battery source, headphones, snacks, candy, coloring book, crayons, Pokémon cards, PJ Mask toys, etc. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Those were fun times. Gotta keep em busy.

Have not carried one in 5 years. Have not missed it a bit

Tell you everything in my pack. Bottle of water, usually a bag with deer jerky and almonds, 2 flashlights and extra batteries, lighter, harness, bow hanger, 2 screw in hooks for my bag and quiver, range finder, gloves, fleece face mask, toboggan, gloves, Crossbow cocker, Crossbow rail lube, rangefinder, grunt call, hunting baby wipes, small roll of toilet paper, battery charging pack for my phone, folding saw, and a knife. If you hunt on a club and usually walk 2 or 300 yards to your stand you probably don’t need all this but i usually hunt no closer than a half mile from my truck so i need a few things others may not

Left out most important thing....TOILET PAPER..........and latex gloves....would hate to get pulled over and have my backpack searched.....would be hard to explain!!!!!!

Ill guarentee you tomorrow when I head to the woods ill have as many extra clothes and hot hands as I can stuff in it. Thinking about taking some type of hot liquid as well.

I have a few places that are only 3 or 400 hundred yards from where I park, but most of them I'm walking around 1/4 of a mile to get to them. Still though, carrying just a few necessities, you still have to sit down and with all that stuff in ur pockets it gets aggravating, to me anyway. I'd rather carry too much and not use it, than to need it and not have it.
