Don’t Forget to Pack These Items on Your Next Hunting Trip



While nature can be breathtaking and relaxing, it can also infringe upon your recreation. To protect yourself from the elements and enhance your hunting experience, there are a few out-of-the-ordinary tools that belong in your gear pack. These items, while not seemingly obvious things to bring along on your next hunting excursion, will help you out in emergency situations and serve as valuable resources to keep you energized, alert and up for anything.

First Aid Kit

Finding yourself injured without the means of treating your injury could be life-threatening. To help you stay safe, you can either build your own kit or buy a pre-made one. Be sure to include bandages, burn cream, aspirin and lotions. You also should include allergy-specific eye drops like these from Vision Direct to make sure blurry vision doesn’t impede your hunt. This is just a small measure to take to ensure your safety.

Synergy Hydration Lightvest

Sometimes the days don’t seem long enough while you’re hunting, and you lose sunlight fast. Don’t get caught in the dark without a reliable light source. Headlamps work great for illuminating your path, but you can take it one step further with the 100-lumen CREE LED Lightvest. This vest places the light at chest level so you have maximum visibility as well as reflective strips and trips so that other hikers can see you as well. Additionally, the vest has the option of attaching a hydration pack so you always have water on hand.

Flash Java Kit

Hours upon hours of walking and scouting can drain your energy. In case you need an energy boost or you like having fresh coffee while camping out, bring along a Flash Java kit. This kit’s cooking cup clips securely to its steel burner, which ups its safety standards and prevents spills. Brew your coffee in the one-liter FluxRing cooking cup, or make a pack of dehydrated food for a snack. There is a drink-through lid and a pour spout on the well-insulated cup. The kit also features a push-button igniter, color-change heat indicator and a coffee press. When you need a little pick-me-up, this easy-to-transport kit can provide you with just that.

Quick-Dry Towel

There are bath towels, beach towels and, yes, hunting towels. These are super absorbent and light-weight towels, with the ability to absorb up to eight times its weight in water. While these towels can take in an impressive amount of water, you can also wring them dry because they are made from quick-drying material. The fabric is light, which makes it compact, and it has a quick-attach loop for drying and comes with a carry pouch. Look for this towel at outdoor retailers, such as REI.

Flares

One last important tool to pack for your next hunting trip is flares. These can burn up to 15 minutes and are highly visible in all types of weather, which can help others find and help you. Especially if you like to hunt by yourself, make sure you have these as backup in case you get hurt or lost.

4 EASY WAYS TO AVOID TICKS

Tracy Schmidt Ticks seem to be everywhere when I go hunting. I encounter them in the woods, bushes, high grasses and leaf debris. They need heat and moisture to survive and can sense heat and carbon dioxide from a nearby host animal. There are 80 species of ticks in the United States, but only about a dozen are considered a health threat to humans.  The ticks I encounter the most are the deer tick and the wood tick. The deer tick is the only one of the two that can transmit Lyme disease. The wood tick can transfer Rocky Mountain spotted fever in some areas of North America and is the most commonly found tick in the United States. These ticks hatch from eggs in spring and become nymphs during their first year of life. Blacklegged ticks (commonly called deer ticks) are the only ticks that carry Lyme disease. And not all of these ticks carry the disease. The tick larva are the most likely to transfer Lyme disease during the late spring and summer, if they become infected with...
