I carry a picture of Rob's wife with me at all times.
Seriously though.. I cannot fathom how much gear some of you guys carry into the woods. Jeesh!

Try filming if you think those lists are bad.[:-]
We honestly talked about using a game cart this year to cart in the equipment when filming. Big treearm, all camera equipment(alot), hunting bag, two stands, a bow sometimes two bows.....it is ridiculous. lol
When I am going solo...I have an extensive pack that goes with me until I part with the truck...from there it is a simple list.
bowhook.
rangefinder.
sometimes water bottle/snack
idk it just depends really.
