As hunting season approaches (Oct. 1 in Michigan) I am wondering what everybody considers must have gear that they always carry in their pack with them.
I never would have considered a cell phone other than for safety reasons but it seems like you have a really good system worked out.My iPhone is up near the top of the list. I have a really good weather radar app and two other weather apps, have scout look, have planimeter and a compass app. With those tools I can constantly monitor solunar times, weather changes, wind changes and how all of that impacts every stand on the farm. If a stand changes becomes necessary due to any weather change I can very quickly asses where and why to move. Use the compass app for hanging sets and more importantly to take a reading on last sound after a shot. A lot of times I can go straight to last sound and see the deer if not it can be an advanced starting point on a blood trail.

Please explain the reading of the last sound, is that an app?
X2Until it gets cold I'd have to rate my thermacell as a never leave home without it item. Think I'd rather leave my binos than thermacell when the skeeters are swarming.
