its easier to get lost than you think.I am a .277 fan ,cant attest to the short mag but I`ve been shootin a old Remington in 270 Win since I was a sprout and I got full faith in a 130 or 150 grain pill going down range at minute of elk heart/lung.
A good cast iron skillet and some lard,flour,onions,salt,pepper,bacon,eggs,5 or s0 pounds of fajita meat,a bunch of spam and bologna,lunchmeat and light bread in camp to grub on..Coffee I won`t be without and a campfire percolator is a good start to a morning.I`d carry 15 pounds of so of jerky too to eat on when out for the day.
Clean water is a must and should be enough to keep you hydrated..
A cooler full of Budweiser on hand after ya take a big bull and the sitting around the fire times at night.
A good skinning blade and a small compact saw for quartering as well should be in your possession.A daypack is handy with toilet paper
tylenol as well,I carry a military strobe in mine in the event I get messed up bad and cant move on my own power to alert folks(aircraft as well) to where I am.In that pack should be an emergency solar blanket,water,some grub,waterproof matches,extra cartridges.A spare change of dry clothes aint a bad idea either if ya have the room.
Around your neck,good binos..
I`m sure there is a bunch more stuff folks would carry but thats a few I see as good ideas to have on hand.
an air mattress makes sleepin on the ground better.Trust me,I`ve slept enough days on dirt and mud to enjoy the comforts of somethin soft to lay on at night...and a good sleepin bag.
