Kit bag...what do you have in yours

As the warm weather is picking up now I have started to do a kit check. All the things i need for hunting is in a rucksack and this is a list of what I have with me when i go on a days shoot.

Knifes : I always have more than one knife and a sharpener. Different blades for different jobs.

Multi tool : This has a multitude of uses from a razor sharp main blade to a saw blade for removing small branches when hide building.

Matches and tinder : In a waterproof container.

Windproof lighter and rubber tinder for fire lighting.

Hand wash : With this hand wash you don't need water. Good for when you have been gutting your game but it has another use. It is flammable, so it can be used to help start fires for cooking too.

Large cutting tools : If you are staying for a whole days hunting you may want to build yourself a hide/shelter. Then you need some large cutting tools to undertake the job.

Game hangers/carriers : Stay hands free and clip these to your belt loops and slip your rabbits and pigeons into them.

Camo tarp and para cord : Great for keeping the rain off and keeping you dry.


Camo netting : Ideal for adding some dimension to your hide...Helps you blend in.

Cooker and cup : Always nice to have a nice hot cuppa.

The tin can is used to heat your water on your stove or in your fire. A great way to recycle your bean cans.
