Leaving for my first western hunt Tues morning. Pretty much packed. Was wondering if there's anything I'll need that I may have overlooked on my packing list that may be useful. Thanks

Douglas Adams would say you're forgetting a towel.

ranch has that stuff. I have receptacle to drink my energy powder out of on the road. Also have a 64 oz water bottle. Your reply did remind me to pack some pear simple syrup though.

I often get a fresh hot sinus infection when I change biomes in a big way. Hit up a teledoc and get a z-pak in case you catch something after you're beyond the ability to access a pharmacy.

Obvious satire because it would be unethical to tell the teledoc something that's going to happen, instead of something that has.

Mole skin for blisters, chap stick, eye drops if you're gassing alot. Foam stadium seat pad in your backpack, Dude Wipes, spare glasses.

There's nothing wrong with a pre-emptive Rx from your GP. I do it every time I head to the high country.

I agree. But some wet blanket will probably be along.

I didn't see any means to start a fire in the hunting backpack.

Great idea for the foam pad. Where can you get those? I have the rest of the stuff here

I use saline spray to keep nose moist. That much dryer air kills me. Get raw inside nose after a few days. Mineral oil will work as well. Working hands cream?

Some extra blankets can work as padding as well. Dont forget your pillow

Either a GPS or at least some flagging tape. You might not be concerned about getting lost but a deer carcass can be surprisingly hard to find when piled up in brush.

The fact you have 3 items under "Underwear" tells me you put way too much effort into packing…

Ayr saline nasal gel is superior to the watery sprays for keeping your nose hydrated in the mountains/desert.

Hunting license and plenty of water.
Take twice as much TP as you think you'll need, in case someone else runs out.
As someone else mentioned, don't forget a medic bag.

I carry a spare string that duplicates the one on bow and a Bow Medic kit to swap out string. Don't carry on hunt but it's in my case.
