These days it seems like hunting has become all about the gear and the "Industry" Gotta have all the cool stuff. The problem is then you have to carry all that stuff and it can slow you down. Turns out carrying less stuff can make you a more effective hunter. In this episode I break down what I carry in my pack for a day of hunting. I wouldn't say it's a minimalist approach, but more about keeping it simple and light enough that I can hunt and hike all day, day after day. I'm sure there will be some disagreements about it, and some things I left out, but my hope is to help people sort through all of the "must have" stuff to lighten the load and hunt harder and longer. My philosophy is to keep it simple and light, but make sure the really important things are covered well. This is about day hunting from camp or truck not about backpack hunting, but this same philosophy can be applied once you get to camp on that backpack hunt. What did I miss here?
