Thread: First public land deer - fallow in the blue mountains

Another good thing is to know your day pack inside out. this is a must,
i have seen people panic because they can't find compass or torch, only to find them in different pockets from when used last time and not put back into correct places

lid pocket: compass, spare folding knife, first aid kit, spare batteries.

left side pocket: Gloves, woolen hat, spare ammo

right side pocket: toilet paper, small knife sharpener, head lamp

waist belt pockets: i usually have treats, map etc, bic lighter to check fickle wind.

main department: light rain jacket, 4 black rubbish bags for meat, Boning knife, bits of rubber tube for fire starting, second bic lighter
wrapped in plastic bag to keep dry.

everything that is in my daypack stays in my daypack,
if you need your headlight at home, leave your hunting one in pack and go buy a headlight for home use only, same goes for most things in your pack, don't take them out of your pack unless you are out hunting.
and get to know what essentials are in WHAT pocket, it makes it a lot quicker/easier to find and do things.
