    I was wondering what everyone takes with them in the woods. In my back pack is a bottle of water that I have been using for a few years, a roll of T.P, a couple of snacks and this year I am going to take a psp since I don't have a smartphone play with in the stand. Also and extra face mask and extra pair of gloves along with knives and my lucky glass egg.

    Knife, t.p, small binos, range finder, headlamp, small flashlight, lighter, water, small coffee thermos with coffee, sun flower seeds, maybe jerky, about 5 feet of rope, if winter some cold weather stuff like gloves and hand warmers. Sometimes if I'm going to sit all day I'll take a pocket bible to flip through.
