He always shot a 7mm Rem Mag. I took one of the shells he had shot and neck sized it, leaving the spent primer in place, put some of his ashes in the case and seated a bullet. My wife made a little pouch and sewed it it the pocket of my hunting coat and i put that casing in the pouch. This way I still get to hunt with my father. That is what you can be certain will always be in my pocket Great post.

Thinking about it, ziploc bags may the most heavily used non-hunting item that I always have with me when I'm hunting. I use them for so much.

Jumbo trapper pocketknife that I always have with me if I’m dressed. Chapstick. Extra ammo, either 5 or 6 loose rounds for bolt and lever guns or an extra 20 round AR mag if I’m chasing pigs. That’s about it for around the house, carry a small pack in the mountains with a lunch and survival gear.

Where and how I hunt means I might be taking coat off and on throughout the day. If I am glassing or sleeping in the snow for the afternoon I will probably have it on, otherwise it is rolled and attached to the side of pack or in pack. Also, because it’s moved around I prefer the zippers on the pockets.

Late in the season I get tired of the pack, and go very light on the paraphernalia, so more goes in my pockets. What goes where depends on the pocket layouts. My primary car key has an Olight attached in case I drop or misplace my LED headlamp. Two is one and one is none, as Clint says…… My backup piece is an LCP 2, and sometimes I carry a spare mag, sometimes not. Ten should be enough. What fresh Hell is this?
