I carry a lot of what was mentioned. But one thing I carry i havent seen mentioned is a whistle. Try yelling to a search party when your pain and exhausted. They make little flat orange whistles loud as shit. Its one little peice that could speed up someone finding you. It is always on me.

If it never leaves my pack, that means that I've never needed it or used it. ;)

But there are some items that I "always take" in my pack that I do use. Like water, wipes, small flashlight, headlamp, GPS, Havalon, fixed blade knife, beanie, extra batteries, first aid kit, paracord, flagging tape, and compass. Then hunting specific items when I'm hunting like game bags, elk calls, etc. My first aid kit has all kinds of little stuff beyond first aid, like extra nocks, some d-loop material, serving, small allen wrench for my rest, fire starter, lighter, etc.

+1 to @5MilesBack ... I'd like to take my kill kit out, but I'd have to kill something first. So there it stays, right in the smallest pocket on the bottom of the pack. The trauma pack is in the next pocket up...pretty glad that gets to stay in the pack.

Other than the first aid/ safety gear, I always have a contractor size garbage bag. Works for keeping things dry, and works to keep dirty things separate from other things in my pack. Just make sure you don't grab a scented one.
