thanks for this topic, i'm a new member here and am going hunting in an unfamiliar area. i had'nt given much thought to what i carried in my pack other than the normal hunting gear only because i usualy hunt familiar areas where i'm never to far from saftey. this time around will be different where ill be with a group where we'll each be dropped in a seperate area. so after reading all these great posts and looking at what other people are equiped with ill be better prepared for the "what if's" so thanks again.
