Whats in your Pack???

[rugarm77]

When you set out hunting for the day what do you carry???

What do you not leave without and what are some of the single most important items. Anything from food to clothing etc.

In my pack I make sure I have water, Jerky, Snickers bars just to make the mouth happy. Other items include a GPS, flashlight, cellphone if I am alone, matches, knife etc.

Lets hear yours.

Bread crumbs are much more reliable than a GPS....no batteries to go dead.

 

[overton]

Yes but what if bigfoot follows you and eats the bread crumbs? Then what?

That's what the camera is for. Take his picture. And then follow him back to the truck as he eats the bread crumbs. You gotta think, Ransom!

Eel

Great ideas! I'm going to start carrying bread crumbs too. BUT just one more question. What does one do if bigfoot attacks?


Ransom

 

[sageadvice]

Most of the above AND a spotting scope! Don't leave the truck without it.

[eelgrass]

Ransom, curl up in a ball and play dead. That's what I did. But, I was also lost for four days.

Eel

 

[overton]

Eel

Okay but just one more question. Was the bigfoot a female? If so what happened? If it's embarrasing you can PM me the answer.


Ransom

 

[overton]

Okay I quess thats really 2 questions but still what happened?

 

[eelgrass]

Ransom, PM sent

Eel

 

[eelgrass]

[mtnmayhem]

No I didn't.


Ransom

 

[overton]

After reading Eel's PM from now on I'm carring a 22 pistol in my pack just incase a female bigfoot "attacks". Not for her, for me I'll shoot myself instead of going through what happened to Eel.


Ransom

 

[rugarm77]

eel, so let me get this right, you found yourself curled in a ball for 4 days with a female Bigfoot. LMAO

How long before you could walk again??? Or was the second 2 days for recovery??? LOL

Thanks for the responses, some good ideas and some funny ones to. KY and Playboy LOL

Ransom,

The bigfoot that attacked Eel was not female... It can happen to anybody and I don't think any less of Eel... Well maybe I look at him a little differently but he's still a good guy..

What exactly do you mean by "down time", ODB?

 

[eelgrass]

If any of you see a short Bigfoot with blue eyes and blond hair, please, PLEASE don't shoot him! I mean, I wouldn't shoot your kin folk! Thanks!

Eel

 

[one_dryboot]
