October 1st is just about upon us. When heading to the woods for a week of camping. What sort of supplies do you like to have with you? I personally am going to do the primitve camping thing. (tent) I hate to get in the woods and wish there was something I would of brought along.
Heres my list off the top of my head what am I missing?
Tent
sleeping bag
bug spray
cooking supplies and food
archery gear
2 large ice chests
water
personal hygeine stuffs tp
chainsaw gas/oil
hand saw
hatchet
rope
trashbags
chairs
deer stands
compass/whistle
flashlight and batteries
tarp
citronella candles
first aid kit

Ill cook up some things before I go and have it frozen in the ice chest for easy meals. I like to cook stew and beans and have some frozen in quart bags. I can make the cornbread in a skillet over the open fire.Thanks for any suggestions.

figured Id just use the sleeping bag for a pillow. Not sure what a thermacell is educate me? I guess a lantern might come in handy. I also thought I might take some rags along to use when doing my dishes and some old rags to clean my hands with in the case I get to field dress something. I guess some disposable gloves could be handy too. Ill have my cell phone but there is no service where I am going to be. It takes good pictures tho... My etrex gps doesnt even work very good in the woods for me.

Thermacell is the best mosquito/insect repellant known to man...you can throw away the citronella candles!:up:

Try getting in a clearing to use your etrex or at least get it started. I have trouble in the thick woods with mine also.

Cot!
I like to take some individually-wrapped antibacterial wipes too and keep them with my TP.
For quick weekend-hunt camping, I like to take some of those Starbucks "expresso in a can" things. I can slug one of those down in the morning with a biscuit or pastry and get to hunting instead of having to crank up the stove and make coffee.

 

[Hobbshunter]

Camera too.

Zane, maybe if you consumed something other than beans, chili, and drinks, you would need so much Pepto, Gas X, and Tums! :biggrin:

You can cook anything over an open fire. These will make the best biscuits that you have ever had.

I would add ziploc bags. They are always handy for something. Also, I take an air mattress, the kind you float on in the pool, to sleep on. Don't forget the Toilet paper and some dishwashing liquid too. I wish I was going.
