Your Kit - Let's see it!

[TOGIE]

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.View attachment 224683View attachment 224684

[ammo]

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).

The pic with the hunting gear is super old, unsure what food was in there but I can tell you husband unit and I bring in a ridiculous amount of food. Mostly because husband unit is constantly hungry. We once hauled 5lbs of cheese in for a 10-day climbing trip.

Here's our food list for last year (10 days, Fri - Sun):

This is what I have in a Google Sheets Document: This was for a 11 day Sheep Hunt we hiked in 15 miles to where we hunted.
It was a ton of food, and in fact I will take less next time for sure.

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

One and a half hours in after realizing I left my license and tag in the console of the truck -

At least you didn't say hatchet

Ok my kids play a game that goes sorta like this: if you only could bring one thing, would you take your tactical hatchet or your hot tent (technically more than one item but WTH), but you have to wear the hot tent like a cape?
