Title: One thing you don't leave home without?
Post by: Swampchickin234 on April 02, 2015, 10:39:29 AM
I know there has been similar treads to this but I thought it would be interesting to see.   Could be calls, could be something with sentimental value, an item to you're arsenal, etc.   doesn't have to be out of the ordinary, just something you like to have on every hunt.   I like to have my grandpas case knife that was given to me when I was 9 years old.  He has passed now, so it means a lot to me.   Thanks for looking.

Toilet paper.  The maple leaves you find around here this time of year don't hold up very well.

Shotgun, it's pretty important to take it with you.   Prolonged Sleep Deprevation can make you forgetful.

X2 but I prefer pine cones. They're like using a baby wipe

I'd rather have my Thermacell than toilet paper.  I can always cut my drawers off.  Mosquitos suck.

I still say Thermacell. The thing about not having toilet paper is the smell isn't going to bother the turkeys... :TooFunny:

I've sacrificed a sock this year. Left everything in the truck since I wouldn't be gone to long. I must have angered the toilet God's

Yeah, but it can get itchy if you get all good and sweated up without a good wipe!  :funnyturkey:

Others have mentioned toilet paper, but I'll say wet wipes. Toilet paper can get wet and be useless, but wet wipes carried in a zip lock bag will save the day.

No need to wear nothing but the elastic band to your boxers or one sock back to the truck  ;D

Lots of water, on them warm days covering ground, just can't seem to get enough.

Nobody else uses moss for emergencies? You should try it, probably the best option in the woods when it's not leafed out yet.

I always have to double check for shotgun shells.

I know it is probably not true, but I was told for so long that moss had red bugs that I can't even think about getting it near my tail end.

Red bugs? Must be a regional name thing, never heard of them.

Been a surveyor for 17 years now so i'm highly experienced at #2 in the woods. The best stuff from nature in order. Mullein, the best easily. Then hickory leaves bc you can pull off a dozen of them in about a second, they're tough and the bottom side is fuzzy like a peach. Moss is next and is avaiable all year. Finally if your real desperate find some damp leaves by a water source.

Another thing I always forget is to have my turkey knife for at the house sharp. My vest knife is always sharp but alway forget to touch up the boneing knife.
