Whats in your vest

[Munster]

Its getting close to hunting time here in Iowa. Duck opens late Sept. and then Pheaz late October.

First, what KEY items do you carry in your vest for the dog and yourself. Then if you could only take 4 items, what would you take?

I carry a first aid kit, Knife, pliers,a pair of dog boots, water and peanut butter samiches for me and the hounds.

4 items I would chose would be the water, pliers, knife and kit.

But, I have been thinking about this handy looking contraption I found on line. I have always wondered how I would get my dogs out if something serious happened to them while I was hunting.
I was also told that a set of really big zip ties would open about any trap my dog could get into. Knock on wood I havent had to worry about either. But if I add much more I will need a ruck sac.

I always carry a leash, a pocketknife and a hankerchief. Depending on the weather and terrain, water.

I have a Quilomene vest so the water is takin care of.....I also don't leave home without some toilet paper in a ziplock bag (been saved by that a few times), a leash, a length of heavy duty twine ( for conibear traps), a pocket knife, a few powerbars or granola bars....

Going to have to add large zipties, that's a very good idea for conibear trap encounters I would think....

Cannot wait to get on some Ruffies and Timberdoodles!!
