    So I'm just about to buy my 2nd months worth of minerals and I'm starting to think of other things I am going to need for the upcoming season. The upcoming season includes the entire rest of the year with hanging stands, maintaining mineral sites, food plots, etc.

    While I am getting my minerals I will be stopping at Cabelas for some essentials that will be needed shortly - New ThermaCELL pads, and propane.

    So I want to ask... What is in your guys equipment packs that you use year round and then into the season? I'm looking for everything and anything really as my pack is quite thin (this will be only my 3rd year bowhunting). The most generic things that a guy might forget down to the NUST NEED in every guys pack.

    I need a new range finder. That is my biggest concern.

    I don't carry a pack - but in my pockets I always have "Hot Hands", my rangefinder, and a knife.

    After posting the thread I remembered this in the resources section:

    Bowhunting checklist

    Would still love to hear what items people must have for the coming up season.

    Same here. I also carry scents and all of the necessary stuff like, tags, my firearm safety certificate, cell phone, knives and of course my bow. My blind and stands are so close to the house I just walk so I don't need to much, and if I do it's only a two minute walk away.
