    What's your top 2 favorite items you take into the bush?

    Outside of your rifle and ammo - what are your top 2 favorite things you take hunting with you.
    It could be a serious item like survival equipment. I might be something sentimental like your grandfathers knife.
    I'm really interested as I'm sure there will be some things that might surprise us all ... and some things I might need to buy !!
    Here's mine ... my fabulous NZ handmade knife and my Leica Ultravid 10X25's. Have some fun with this ... cheers PJ

    MSR stove, bivvy bag. Hot food/drink and a dry bed just makes the day regardless of how the hunting went.

    People are gonna say headtorch, knife, pet rock, etc so I'll go with the only thing I take in always that is not immediately obvious - insect repellent. When my neck is sticking out of a sleeping bag on a hot night it is good to be invisible to those biting bastards.
    That and a bit of paracord.

    GPS/compass. You're not lost if you know where you are - even if you don't know how you got there! and
    Small bum-sized piece of 'spongy pud' (thin sheet of expanded foam) to sit on when glassing/resting. nothing like keeping your bum (and bits) dry!

    My custom made hunting belt the wife got me one anniversary. It has gone on every hunting trip over the past 8 years. Beautiful craftwork.

    Oh, and my contact lense eye drops, farkin hard to keep eyes lubricated when I'm tired as fuck and not blinking much when looking through bino's. I'm fucked without them.

    I would say map and compass as one item, and thermal blanket as another. Always good to know they are there.

    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Compass and fire steel on paracord around my neck. The flint striker has a built-in whistle.

    Well I am a tooth man so the answer has to be the makings of a good roast and the makings of a good batch of scones/bread.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
