One item you wish you carried sooner?

[BRGT2]

A big gauge hypodermic needle, they are the best thing for digging out splinters.

 

[Hac]

Tweezers and needle for thorns, chasing couse deer in Az you'll need them, a glassing pad makes for a hard rock or ground bearable on a long glassing day

 

[Doc Holliday]

Ear plugs.

Not just for shooting. But for snoring hunting partners

 

[rayporter]

yep, always have ear plugs close at hand!

A sling hook. Especially if you use a safari style sling. I made my own some time ago, now they are commercially available.

portable water filter

Thermal Monocular. I was shocked at what I could detect with the thermal. I always carry 1 into the woods, especially at night. It's my favorite piece of gear to play with.

@gjs4 I started with the pulsar hd19a and now also have a pulsar helion XQ38F and I got my dad one of the pulsar axion models. I will be getting the iray mh25 in the near future because I prefer the 1x FOV over the 3x of the helion. Plus I'm wanting the bump in resolution also.

A mini multi tool. 2 or 3 ounces but I've always got one in the pack.

 

[Troutnut]

Hyperlite Mountain Gear insulated warming pouch for rehydrating freeze-dried dinners.

I like to heat my water and add it to the bag without suddenly being on the clock to hurry up and finish all my other camp chores and be ready to eat before it's cold and nasty. This thing weighs next to nothing, and I can make the water before I crawl in the tent and eat whenever I'm settled in and feel like it.

Also, not exactly a "carry," but I wish I had gotten a decent chamber vacuum sealer many years before I did.

Tripod when not in a stand.

 

[monsterbucks]

Toilet Paper. I never hunt without it. Lol

Recent change…

Cottonelle butt wipes instead of Wal-Mart brand.

I have not pulled the centers out of the Cottonelle ones unlike the Wal-Mart ones.

Been Carrying eye drops for years for those long hot dusty summer hunts.....really saves my eyes..

 

[cocky84]

A book!!
Went on a hunt few years ago and was weathered in tent for severals days with nothing to read or do.
I swore i would bring a book for the next trip. Ive packed that damn thing with me for the last several hunts and the weather had been good enough that i havnt read one single page!!
Now i just bring it to keep bad weather away.

Phone Skope, as my boys are getting older, I seem to be behind the rifle less and less, and have been really fortunate to have captured some cool moments on my phone with them.
