Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Of all the things you can forget to take on your hunting trip

I did a float trip down the middle fork of the Salmon river in Idaho.

Upon arrival at our launch site at 6am in the morning after driving all night I was given a dry bag and told all my gear had to fit in that one bag.

Well sorting through my gear in the dark, I figured I had everything I needed. This was in early June with snow on the ground at our launch site.

We wore wet suits the first day of floating. In camp that night I unpacked my bag and realized I forgot to pack pants!

We were already 20 miles into the float in the River of no return wilderness and I had no pants!

Luckily I had a pair of shorts and as we dropped altitude and the weather warmed up and the shorts were perfect.
