Essentials

Everyone knows a mountain lion got him.

I mean with the trailer loads full of them what do you expect

While deerhunting, I carry my bow with quiver and arrows and very seldom binoculars.
I figger if I kill a deer, I'm gonna walk back to the truck and put my bow away anyway. Then I'll bring a knife , and go back, gut the deer and drag it out.
Kinda drives me nuts seeing people wearing a backpack to their treestands ( pre setup) and only walking in a short ways from where the parked.

I absolutely love this topic.

Gets my mind thinking about Bug-Out Bags. What could you stash in a bag that would keep you alive as long as possible but also at a moment's notice?

I think there are a gazillion articles and forums dedicated to Bug-Out Bags and prepping. I think as I get older, there's wisdom in all of it as you go about your hunts.

Less is more -- but only if what you have works when you need it.

I like having off the wall conversations. Allows everyone to bring their own perspective to such a simple topic
