Your Kit - Let's see it!

[ammo]

I'm a sucker for well organized pre-trip equipment photos like this one:

I don't have my shit together quiiiite yet (waiting for my bino upgrade, obviously it's too early for food since we're hunting in September) but figured while we're all waiting with bated breath we could post up some pics of our gear.

Here are some oldies -- this one is from my second year elk hunting (my how the kit has changed)


Here's one for an impromptu ski race:




And a backcountry adventure in Canada:



Anyone else have some nicely organized gear pics?

this looks like my fridge in my 20s (plus some condiments)

This will be an interesting thread. I am typically super disorganized so this gives me an opportunity to visually see just how screwed up my pack is. Should be fun. I should have done this years ago. I make up a computer checklist for ever trip but I think actually looking at everything laid out will put things in perspective.

Looks like my typical weekend "kill kit".

I have slowed down a bit in the last 8 yrs or so from when this pic was taken. A 6 pack of IPAs will get me through a weekend.

I feel like a person who buys white skis is the same persons who buys flip flops…

“I don’t plan on being chased today”

“I don’t plan on getting extreme”

ha!

They were great skis. The topsheets were probably my biggest beef with them. Never had an issue losing them - there was one time where one went way down into a creek on a spring approach of La Plata but the issue was the willows, not the snow.

I'm now rocking a pair of red DPSes. Much better visibility!

With a thread title like this, what could go wrong?!?

Just don’t click any links from @Greenhorn and we’ll all be ok.

OK I'll start...You're missing a sidearm

At least you didn't say hatchet

 

[TOGIE]

i seem to only take pictures during the shit storm of pulling out totes, finding items, splaying them out, and reorganizing... for some unknown reason.

I’ve been on way more hunts where a hatchet would have been more useful than a pistol

 

[ThunderNocked]

Great Pictures, I want to take these but I'm never that organized!
I'll look into it next time I get my gear out.

I'm curious @ammo, how many days that would be good for? Specifically on the food end of things? I'm diabetic and this is my biggest trepidation with planning my first backcountry hunting trip (so thanks for the post and helping people out!). Thanks @BearFoot for the food pic! On a 10 day trip do you pack 10 dehydrated meals for dinner? ( I couldn't count 10?) I like the variety but am curious what you do if you "need" more food (other than go back to the truck).

Other end of the spectrum, my buddy buys a canister of mtn house dumps it into a giant zip lock and stuffs that in his pack along with the wrapper of a used mtn house and that’s his dinner for a week in the woods.

Like @TOGIE I seem to take pics of the chaos! It’s not usually completely organized till midnight the night before I leave. This is midway through packing for two different seasons. I’ll try to remember taking one of the organization this year right before I load up the pack and truck.
