    Duct tape has proven good for emergency bandages for myself before. And some bits of old inner tube for fire lighting

    Keep hydrated
    When it is a bit cool outside and you’re climbing a hill put your sweatshirt in your daybag so you don’t sweat too much. When you stop for a rest put it on. Take off again when moving.

    Compass on a cord around your neck, when you shoot an animal in tussock country (especially with rolling hills and dead ground) , take a bearing on the animals last position prior to shot, take a gps way point on your own position so you have a back bearing if you need to search the ground. Helpful if you have used a rangefinder to get it exact too. Works for a hasty shot on Fallow in Matagouri belts too.

    duct tape is like the force (star wars) it has a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together

    I take dental floss, I’m yet to find a stronger string in a more compact container and there is nothing worse than trying to hunt with an annoying bit on meat stuck in your teeth

    I used to use dental floss for tying a ‘fillet’ of pilchard on a hook when catching Kahwai
    Smoke kahwai sandwich or as fish pie gets the thumbs up

    A pair of kitchen rubber gloves. Weighs nothing but when you are way out in the boonies and not close to water you can gut your animal(sl) and still have hands clean enough to get a drink afterwards without covering everything in blood.

    If you're on a farm and you meet the owner, take time to talk to him/her unless they are obviously in a screaming hurry or are an unbearable barsteward.

    Farmers are sometimes isolated, can suffer from depression, and appreciate the social contact.

    Take some of that bright orange tape with you when you go into the bush, if you get lost start tying some tape on the branches that way if you think you are f____d and you come across it again then you know you are f____d
    When hunting think safety first
