OK
So we all have forgot something when going out for a hunting trip Have any of you made a detailed list of everything you take along for a weekend hunting trip? Not just running out nearby for a day but driving several hours and spending a couple days in a hotel (in middle of nowhere with nothing around). Food is taken care of as theres a group of us all bringing stuff. I am heading to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan hunting there for the first time so I am excited. Friends have scouted the land. Ill be using a pop up ground blind (first time not in a tree stand and I am looking forward to it haha) |

If I were you, I'd ditch the pop-up blind. I've never had luck with them, and they're a major pain to carry around.
Hunt from the ground, and get yourself a Cabela's Strut Seat. They are the bomb. For serious. |

rifle
ammo knife range finder shooting sticks lens pen for scope scent away beef jerky ass wipe cleaning gloves bottled water doubles ass piss jar or to rinse off blood Just depends how deep you are packing and how long you are going to be there. I hate hunting out of blinds especially if I have to carry them, they make noise and can get heavy depending on how long you have to pack in and what the terrain is like. I pack enough stuff to be away from camp so I don't have to move for the day. YMMV |

Small backpack with
Map and Orienteering Compass Binoculars Knife Snacks (apples - trail mix - PB&J are snacks that they would be attracted to rather that the Genoa & Provolone sammich) two way radio (if in a party) Water Bottle Rain Pancho extra socks and gloves (just in case) Blaze Orange Whistle Lighter and Matches (just in case) 2 or 3 MRE packs (just in case) |
