There is nothing like preparing yourself for the adventure of hunting. Having the proper gear goes a long way when exploring the great outdoors. Planning is essential, especially when hunting. Carrying many items can become complicated and we know that gear is key to having a successful hunting trip. The way your gear is packed can make a huge difference in the way your trip turns out. Whether it's a one day or a multi-day trip, we are here to guide you through the process. Here are some helpful ways to properly pack your bag:
Organizing Your Day Bag
There is no need to over pack for a day trip. A smaller bag would be better fitting since you will not be packing for an overnight trip. Heavier, bulkier items that won’t need to be accessed immediately during the hunt should be placed at the bottom of the bag. The middle layer can consist of items such as rain gear, gloves, and hats. These items can be used just in case conditions change during the hunt. The top layer should consist of a map, first-aid kit, electronics and other devices that need to be easily accessed. Top layer items can also be placed in side pockets for easy access and to distribute weight evenly throughout the bag. Lastly, food and water are very important when hunting and should be placed at the top of the bag or placed in side pockets. This makes it simple to grab a quick bite to eat or a drink without having to dig through all of your gear.
Organizing Your Overnight Bag
An overnight stay in the outdoors requires more gear!
To get through the night you will want to be certain that you are fully equipped for a comfortable adventure. Yes, this means you need a larger bag! In this case we recommend a pack with an internal frame for extra support. The more items you have means the more weight you will carry, so it's important to be selective with what you are brining. First, you want to make sure the day and overnight gear are separated. This way you will not get confused when searching through your gear. Overnight gear, such as things needed to set up up your camp should be at the base of your pack. Extra gear like rain jackets, socks and pants can be placed above the overnight gear because these items may only be needed if weather conditions change.
We are aware preparing for a hunt can be overwhelming and in the process of packing, you may forget to pack key things. Here's a helpful hunting checklist to make sure important items aren't left behind.
