So ruling out all the "traditional" gear in your pack, what odd item(s) have you packed that now go with you on every trip?
Iphone. Too many convenience features to leave home, even if I don't get service in a lot of places. Flashlight, mirror, still camera, video camera etc. If I'm getting down and drained, I scroll through the photo album for inspiration. Before I go into an area, I look at it on google earth. Even without service, you can still pan around in the area you are hunting.
I have the PDF maps app. I initially had it on my 4s, now on my 5s. I don't think it's any different on the Iphone 4. I have a extra battery pack (can't rember the name of it right now), that I take into the field with me. It weighs just a few ozs. and will 100% recharge my completely dead phone almost 3 times.How do you load topos to the iPhone 4? How do you recharge in the field?
Funny stuff, and I don't blame you for finding a different hunting partner.Another vote for IPhone mainly for my hunting gps app.
I have a buddy who packs a couple condoms every time. His excuse is you never know when you'll need one, for one reason or another. Personally I can't think of one reason, when a female isn't present. I know longer hunt with him because I don't want to be in a situation with him where one is needed.
iPhone or cell phone would be far from odd these days... You'd have a hard time finding a hunter without one.
My oddest would be a paperback book to help me sleep... Of course the iPhone w/ kindle app has replaced that.

Would a leatherman charge with a 42 bit kit be odd? Its got every thing imaginable for scope work,bow sight fixes, im in the midst of altering it to hold the havalon blade attachment and scratching the can opener.
