Gps Bag
Is carrying survival gear for deer hunting silly?
I am a city slicker. Consequently, I don't hunt without a GPS, compass, map, food, down bag, and a light bivaoc shelter.
This amounts to a good sized 45 pound day pack. My hunting buddies are rather annoyed by this, and point out we are never more than a couple hours walk from the car. I am terrified of stepping off the road unprepared. Are my fears unfounded?
Packing survival gear into the woods is just about as dumb as having auto insurance, or a fire extinguisher in your house.
Just remind you hunting buddies that you are the one humping the pack not them, so lay off!
However, I do believe you can probably dial things down a bit. You can leave the tent and sleeping bag off the list and substitute an 8'X8' tarp and some rope and unless you are hiking into cold, snowy mountain terrain, you can probably substitute a good wool blanket and a space blanket for the sleeping bag.
BTW, if your hunting partners are dumb enough to go into the woods without either compass or GPS, I suggest you find new hunting partners.
I predict that barring a major accident, or a sudden and unexpected blizzard, you will never need the sleeping bag or tent. Your GPS and compass will ensure that you don't get lost. I can't make the same prediction for your friends.
Let me give you a for instance, and you might want to tell your friends about it. Many years ago, my old friend Bryant Grace and another fellow hiked far into the swamps to fish in a secluded spring.. On the way out, they were fogged in. They ended up spending a damp and miserable night huddling around a campfire with no food other than some crackers and a couple of unseasoned, half-cooked fish. If that could happen to an experienced outdoorsman in warm weather, hunting in the snow can be disastrous.
Keep up the good habits!
