    I challenge anyone to do a sub 24 hour with very minimal supplies. it will give you an idea of what you can NO BS live with or without.

    kinda fun in a semi controlled environment.

      My base layer t shirt is always a some sort of blaze orange or yellow, i also wear a blaze orange hat.
      I don't back pack out for days or stay a night so In my fanny pack I have a gps, little hat flash light, flash light, couple spare batteries, spare small knife, small sharpener, orange flaggers tape, lighter, whistle and a bone saw. Some snacks and one or two water bottles. Pending on weather and type of hunt. Walkky talkie
      On my belt a knife and a leatherman.
      In my pocket a photocopy of map of the area and a compass

      All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

        You must always plan for the unexpected to some degree that's the bottom line in this thread ......your covered for the average hunt it's the ones that go south quick that get you in trouble......

          its just not wise to hunt in the back country alone. if you get into trouble on day one then people wont even start looking for you until your due back in town and you dont show up. so if your gonna hunt alone i suggest keeping the trip short and not going to far off the beaten path.

              Really???

              Your crazy people do it all the time you can fall and hit your head in the shower and be dead before you know it........the back country is in some of our blood and if I die out there so be it I died doing what I LOVE!

                Should always have a buddy when you head out into the wild. In the very least, let someone know where you're going and for how long.

                  tell you what, i would rather die in the back country than my shower if i have a choice. and your right you can fall and hit your head in the shower. you can get hit by a car crossing the street. anything can happen. my point is i would rather not die in the back country because i went by myself and got an injury that someone could easily survive if they have help. i participated in an unsuccessful search for a co worker of a good friend. he went hunting on the last weekend of the season and never came home. evidence suggest his trouble began on day one before ever making camp. his truck was found on the side of the road with most of his gear in it and half eaten fast food. all that was missing was him his rifle and 3 rounds. we figure a buck ran up the hill and he jumped out of the truck and ran after it. up hill from where his truck was found there were a bunch of huge granite boulders with spaces in between that were big enough to provide him with shelter. we found his underwear between a couple rocks but that was it. he was never found.

                    Threads like this are the reason people don't leave their couches. Not that bad things can't happen. I was part of a group where we ended up calling 911 due to a missing guy, thinking he was dead or dying on the mountain so I've been there.

                    Point is be smart and there is inheritant risk with everything. If you live in fear and are paralized by it then just sell all your stuff.

                              A sub 24 hour what?
                              I've been on climbs that went over 24 hours where I slept on my rope with my feet in my backpack while spooning my buddy in a snow cave we dug with our ice axes.

                              I've overnighted in So Cal with nothing more than a knife and jacket.

                              What's your point? To see how little stuff you need to stay outside for less than 24 hours and not die?
