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 answer - toilet paper! Such "hunters" require vast amounts of it.

Hmmm...I don't usually carry a backpack, but when I do it has my license and possession tag, a flashlight, apples, a knife, maybe binos, maybe a GPS, ty-wraps to attach the possession tag, latex/vinyl gloves and a couple chemical hand warmers. No combs.
If I am going to be on TV I will reconsider the comb.

Check on line and search Wapati Foirdland New Zealand (Wapati are your Elk) for some ideas on light weight packs and equipment etc. These guys head out for 7-10 days and on their first day some might "climb" for 10hrs! Haven't done it myself but Kudos to them. Some of the ballet blocks you can fly into but others are strictly beating the feet!

I hunt a fair distance from my parking area and like to stay out all day so Depending upon the weather I have extra layers of clothing or rain gear, a camp stove for coffee & lunch, and lots of water.

.... If you are hunting Colorado it's Coors light, not sure about other areas.

Butt-out tool, scent blocker, boot powder, moistened towelettes, jiffy pop - it all takes room.
Broncos are officially the worst team in the nation this year.

For elk hunting a few miles from any motorized vehicle, water, rain gear, extra layer, flashlight, batteries, game bags, tags, a few rounds of ammo, space blanket that can be used as a ground cloth for meat, lunch, extra hat & gloves, boning knife, band aids, bug spray, duct tape, cell phone for photos and a paperback novel.
I keep changing to get to perfect but I'm not there yet. For hunting deer not far from the truck fanny pack with water. It's easy to get a couple miles into a hunt and be very thirsty.

I'm thinking they carry 90% of the stuff so they can get it "in frame" to drum up sponsors. You have to have noticed the labels are always facing the camera. How about the guys hunting with the stickers still on the gun? It's all a commercial.
When I'm close to the truck I rarely have anything along that won't fit in pockets. If I bring a pack i'm leaving the area & gone for the day.

I wondered the same thing and figured it was for some of their video recording equipment.

Usual stuff I guess; T-P, small flashlight, extra socks, saw, rope. Normal things.
But, I always wondered why those "hunters" were all camoed up when they're in some kind of blind! Like someone said: Sponser's.

In my opinion, those shows are all about showing and selling gear, and booking expensive hunts. Period.

A pack frame here. Inside of the lashed on game bags one will find my lunch/snacks and a water bottle. Possibly a rain coat if there is threatening weather.
