What do you think the most underrated piece of equipment for back country hunting is?

I think its Binos.

It gives the careful hunter the chance to see game before it sees you....a pretty important factor, eh?

Buff....(not in the buff.... Keeps head warm, face mask, sweatband, concealment. Bought one for all my hunting buddies last year.

I’m saying hiking sticks. Sure wish I started using them years ago. Especially traversing thru downed beetle kill.

Toilet paper

I think wet wipes may be a bit more critical, especially after several days...at least they are for me. Toilet paper is top 2 or 3 though in my book.

Oil based chapstick:
1. Is a candle when combined with a q-tip
2. Emergency fire starter
3. Temp waterproofs small holes in tent, etc
4. Helps on high friction areas
5. Emergency sun screen
Of course works on lips too when windy.

I was going to say the same thing for the same reasons. I've got a bigger tube that is labeled as outdoor sunscreen, but works great as chapstick, thigh chaff helper, and bow-string wax.

It's all well and good we have comfort, but things that could mean our survival might really be the most overlooked or at least the most important things we should not overlook in the backcountry. We generally don't overlook comfort Items like toilit paper, food water etc. A simple compass might come in handy if we get turned around, extra socks. If something crazy happens like 4 ft of snow or you are injured having something like an inreach can save your life and having a space blanket might help you survive till help comes.

Purcell Trench Streamside Voyager. The memories it provides are priceless.

Leukotape for my feet.
