Thread: Tell me / show me the most useful thing you always take with you when hunting.

I always make sure I have a safety pin in my emergency kit, handy for digging stuff out of your hands and has been used by a fat bastard(me) to hold my pants up after busting a button!

Cheers

A couple of lengths of reinforcing tiewire

Plastic tape like insulation tape but double width - sellotape brand is best I've found.

Hand sanitiser for starting a fire

Rolltop drybag for storing sleeping bag in then stuffing clothes in to make a pillow at night

Spare cellphone battery in a ziplock bag

+1 the ultralight sea-to-summit dry bags are brilliant, every time bivouac has a sale i get more of them, separate bags for kitchen, clothes, sleeping etc - everything stays dry, your pack has significantly better floatation...

Put your phone on airplane mode and it will last for a good week. I keep meaning to bring in some spare batteries for mine from china, they are only about $7 and would certainly be a handy thing to have

I've gone away from the spare phone battery thing and bought a battery pack to charge from, I got a Anker Astro3E 10000mAh job (imported for ~$70) which is probably overkill but I can get 4 charges from it from flat. Has the benefit of if I change phones I can just use the same pack and also I don't need to pull the back of my phone off which can be a bit of a front bum as it's got o-rings etc to keep it waterproof.

Waterless hand sanitizer

Rolltop drybags are the shit .. come in so many different sizes and fabric .. BUT the lighter weight ones are more prone to small tears that let the moisture in ...
