I have been watching hunting programs for some time and I am very curios as to what is in these big back packs?
They drive their truck within 100 yards of a deer stand and 2 or three of them get out and put large back packs on and walk to a heated completely furnished with cooking facilities house on stilts shoot a deer 50 yards away then all bail out of the shack with packs on back hooting and hollering I really think this bull crap gives the true sportsman a very negative appearance. what ever happened to the American sportsman? what is in them back packs? these programs give a very negative opinion of the hunter. last and not least these yahoos that hunt exotic animals in a gated community in Texas and other states?? give me a break. Been hunting over 70 years and never saw the likes of it.

The best hunting show I have seen was on guns and loads for the TV.
Settled on the 12 gauge shooting plan old steel #4's and have not been bothered since.
It also helps to boycott the sponsors of that crap.

Knife, torch, raincoat. I walk all day for a deer. I am not carrying a comb around.
To be honest, when I have seen this on American shows, I assumed it was video camera gear. Perhaps I am naïve.

The shows I watch have them taking their big backpacks up the stairs into their Texas deer blinds...
Always wondered what was in there too....

Not sure what is in there, but darn sure whats not. Books by the likes of Finn, Jack, Earnest, Zane or even John….
My suspicion is, the But Out, may be on the list with the Garmin for finding ones way.
I used to only shoot shotguns and rimfires, then I made the mistake of getting a subscription to handloader.......

I certainly keep 'utility' paper handy. I've found that-- paper towels --make BETTER wiping paper than T P. I'm talking good quality paper towels. I KEEP 1-2 p towels folded up in EITHER a pant's pocket or backpack. Jerry

I use a good quality student size backpack. Contents are: toilet paper, a few paper towels, a small pack of handy wipes, knife, compas, matches or disposable lighter, string or cord, a few rounds of ammo, knife, compas, binocular (if not around my neck), water, snacks (usually nuts and apple), surgical gloves, scissors, small bug repellent, a few band-aids, sunscreen, a few plastic bags, and perhaps some things I have forgotten. There may be a small radio with ear buds if I'm going to sit in a "luxury Texas tower." Football games still happen!
Additionally, I will have duct tape in my hunting vehicle, and perhaps in the pack. We were once chasing scaled quail in the desert. Our driver ran over a small mesquite and a broken branch pierced the oil filter. I cleaned the filter, sealed the hole with duct tape, added a quart of oil, and the hunt was back on. Good thing, civilization was a good 8-10 miles away and we had a couple of seniors aboard. We made it to a mine where the shop gave us an oil change and a new filter. West Texas Hospitality!
Note that we are not talking Costco size rolls of toilet paper or quart size bug spray and sunscreen. 2 - 2 1/2" of TP still on the roll is plenty, then mash it flat to save space. A 2 or 3 oz tube/bottle of sun and bug protection is enough.
Good hunting,
Jack
