all of these are big subjects covered elsewhere and of course you'll have your knife, rifle cleaner, bog roll, binos/ rangefinder, meat bags and all that

I take-
Basic med kit incl Bepanthen,Betadine,med tape
Cooker + two cylinders between the party - look on TardMe for folding $28 ones in an orange plastic box - they work well
Map and compass and spares of both, in a ziplock bag with hunt permit printed out on the back
OSMs, Condy (Condensed milk) ,tea,Raro, Nuts,Choc,2min Noodles. Kaweka make some boil-in-the-bag Red wine and steak meals that make a good dinner, Pasta meals in a sachet from the supy, stir em up with some bits of cut up salami for dinner
ziplock bag with a coupla polipads/wirewool cleaners for doing the dishes
Cutlery - I had a spork but it broke so those basic 3-piece sets work ok
shopping bags for rubbish and hanging ya food from a tree
Lotsa paracord
Headtorch and at least one backup torch
10L waterbladder for camp, 1.25L sprite bottle for filling it and collapsible 1L bottle for taking stalking
Water treatment tabs (expensive)
Spare socks and jocks
Camp clothes set that stays at camp and is dry
Merino base layer/Poly mid-layer OR shirt and light coat with hood for top layer when wet
Beanie
Folding bushsaw for camp

I take a Stoney Creek bumbag that folds out into a pack for stalking - any small daypack would work as long as it's not pink

Put everything into ziplock bags or have a waterproof packliner - remember that the Glad slidelock ones work and the Pams ones are shit


Oh fark I forgot the kitchen sink

Condoms...you forgot the condoms...stops the wankers making a mess of the centre fold.
