Way to much I set for cat the other day pockets full of lure, small bottle of urine, cam cards to change out, keys, gloves, string, knife, lighters. I ordered a tool bag since I need to walk my cat line in many places I need better organization to avoid trips back to the truck for supplies.

But this is always around my neck... lanyard(braided 25' of cordage}, knife, lighter, fire starter(4-cotton balls soaked in petroleum jelly), small flashlight(AAA), whistle, compass and some duct tape. You never know...

Leatherman, house and office keys, vehicle keys in left pocket. Pocket knife, money clip, loose change, lighter in right pocket. Wallet in back pocket, phone in other back pocket or coat pocket. No telling what treasures are in coat pockets. When messing with body grip traps, don't forget you might have laces in your shoes or boots.

I put my truck keys in a pocket that zips closed or hide them behind a tire. Learned that the hard way, too.

I had the keys in my front pocket along with my extra shells.Jumped a big buck and When I reached in my pocket for more shells with the buck still chasing the doe must have yanked the keys out with the shell.Was a long walk out of the woods when I got back to the truck at dark and found no keys in my pocket.Those keys are still in the woods.

a normal day "door check"

wallet
keys
knife
phone
gun
flashlight

my wallet has my license in it

trapping may add depending where I am going
gps , compass
little write in the rain note pad and pen or pencil
a pliers may get added to my pocket , if I was running a bunch of cable I would likely have a cable cutter but I don't use much cable.

I don't use a many conibear but when i do a setters but that more stays with my tool bag
a loop of cord would be a good idea.

maybe part of it is I don't often go that far from the truck lately a couple hundred yards now

hunting
where I leave the truck and am a mile trom the truck and out half or more of a day

my hunting kit is in a bag I can put in the game pocket of my vest
multi tool , spare knife, 550 paracord, field dressing gloves , lighter, spare compass, pencil, sharpie , tums , bandage,
florescent mason twine wrapped around a little piece of cardboard that is all I can remember right now it is in the trick
I also bring spare gloves , 2-4 bottles of water 2-3 sandwiches

I use the little half liter plastic bottles so I can squeeze the air out and put the cap on they make less noise this way no sloshing or crinkling.

sometimes to keep weight down I admit I if I am carrying a rifle or shot gun I will leave my pistol behind.

Pocket knife, emergency 330 setters (strap), a way to cut cable, and a small lighter.


In the past, I carried a piece of paracord. I’ve since dropped the paracord and now use a piece of ratchet strap. It works well for 330s, and it is more comfortable than paracord for hauling out beavers.

my truck keys are 3 dollars each to have made I have several , I typically give a set to whoever I am hunting with

I also have clips on all my keys and like to clip them , and have a spare key hidden for emergencies

I have all my gear set up to ride in my game vest while hunting

I would like for there to be more better vest options to carry gear without them being so expensive

Leave keys and wallet in truck bed or locked up in truck. Got onstar so I can unlock with my phone. PLUS have one zip tied to the frame.and extra in console.. Put cell phone in zip lock bag. 99.9% of the time you will be checked at the truck !! Not much in pockets , don't have no butt to hold up my pants !! LOL pliers and wire bait, ect in pack or trapping jacket I got. Bought it at cabelas 25 years ago it has 2 over sized zip pockets and 6 smaller button down ones. I can carry everything I need to set dog proofs in it. Plus it is big enough that my 22 pistol in a shoulder holster makes checking them easy .
