I have taken everything on your list since 1980. I started taking a couple pain pills with me in 2002. They really help if you get injured, particularly when hunting alone. Only had to use them once but I needed them badly. Those logs can be pretty slippery.
My fanny pack is puffed up from all the contents I stick in it now; may have to go back to a small backpack that i previousy retired. My INPUT, always pack at least 50 ft of strong cordage (even cheap stuff supports 50 lbs; multi-folds holds up to 200 lbs), Saved the day 50 years ago when my young buddy slid down in a crevise between a high mountain bluff and a glacier edge. That folded cordage is what got him out with me pulling for all I was worth. Retrieved all our gear too. No cordage, -- no tent, no supplies, no fire at 10,000 ft. Lasty, I Jehtro Bodien about 8 -12 ft of strong synthetic roap around my waist, hang on several mountain clivies, for just in case pulling, hanging, hoisting incidents that may occur.
I usually wrap duct tape around a bottle like you do but I also will wrap some electrical tape around my lighters. Some times electrical tape works better than duct tape. I also keep a small bundle of steel wire (which could be wrapped around a lighter and taped over.... I just thought about that) the kind that thin and flexible that can be used to bind something together in a pinch. And as someone else mentioned, a few zipties. Those things can be real life savers for boot laces, repair a belt, mend an attachment loop or strap
I always vacuum bag folded up paper towels with a pair of gloves as a form of kill kit. Toilet paper is also vacuum bagged in individual portions to save space and keep dry
In my little zip lock bag i keep spare batteries for my head gear flashlight, as well small palm size flashlight. Lighter, small shredded birchbark for lighting a fire. Birch will lite whether its wet or dry. Zip ties! Dont forget zip ties! Million uses for those things!
" mtn money" that's great I never heard that before. I whole heartedly agree with all your household items especially tp in a waterproof bag/ zip lock.
I compared petroleum jelly with cotton balls or saw dust. The saw dust burns 45 seconds longer than cotton balls. I live at 9,600’ not sure it makes a difference. Just a geek out I’d like to share. One more piece I store the combo In aluminum foil. You can lay the foil on the snow to keep the tiny flame from getting wet…
I pack nearly the same but in different quantities.... I have 5x contractor bags and I put Elk Quarters in them (pack liner and slips easily in and out of a pack). 5x 2gal zip lock bags and maybe a few 1gal ziplock bags. That's probably the major difference in my Guide Pack but one item I replaced was the latex gloves... I carry 2+ pairs of the garden gloves that are rubber dipped (make sure they are the ones dipped over the back of the fingers - harder to find). This provides a great grip on wet or bloody meat/hair and they are washable for re-use.
You're awesome Remi. I haven't tried it but some friends used to vacuum seal emergency clothes and carry them in their saddle bags. Vacuum sealing your kill kit might save space as well.
I take Unisom (sleep aide) in my overnight kit - so I can make sure I get a good nights sleep out in the backcountry. Also orange electrical tape; variety of uses
Mountain money! Lol that’s hilarious. We got sick in the back country and I traded the only 2 guys we saw all week several peaks meals for a pack of dude wipes last year. It really can be mountain money
A flux capacitor. Just in case I miss the elk and need another shot at it. But really, I carry everything you mentioned. I highly recommend a tourniquet and a small first aid kit as well. Also, a Ham Radio with the knowledge of how to use it/program it. There are repeaters all over the place.
What bow slung is that? Toilet paper is a must. Extra in the vehicle and always a roll in my pack. I bring flagging tape. It's nice to mark last blood if for some reason you have to back out. Then put a way point to mark it on my map.
Finally someone talks about toiletpaper!!! Think I seen 500 video of "must have gear when outdooring" and no one mention toilet papar 😂
I like biodegradable wipes. Obvious reasons plus can use as a refreshing “bath”
I go for baby wipes over toilet paper. If TP gets wet your in a bind. Plus baby wipes can be used to clean up gear or take a field bath.

Nice list Remi - also add in cable ties (spare boot laces & for fixing gear or hanging meat) + cotton wool balls and Vaseline as a fire starter

That's great fire starter!
Baby wipes are really nice to have as well. Sometimes the the TP just doesn't cut it. Have to make sure you pack it out since they don't biodegrade.
I pack a Torniquete and a very small first aid kit.
I pack nearly the same but in different quantities....
I have 5x contractor bags and I put Elk Quarters in them (pack liner and slips easily in and out of a pack).
5x 2gal zip lock bags and maybe a few 1gal ziplock bags.

I always take a little tube of super glue in case I get cut processing the animal i can glue it shut and it won't get infected.
They actually make powder for that 🤦♂️
It also is really handy for patching holes, thread lock, and repairing any kind of cracked plastic
Crazy glue and duct tape. Doesn't hold as well over knuckles.
Great idea! lots of gear fix uses as well!
@@RemiWarren you city people crack me up 😂
Love you content remi. Just a suggestion replace the tp with baby wipes.
A good book.
Absolutely

Great stuff! 👍

A pen to write the kill unit on my tag when it’s filled (at least in Nevada).

I take zip ties, mainly to tag a carcass, but there are many uses.
Wet wipes is a life saver.
Spare set of batteries for head lamp/flashlight etc…
I ditch the tp and go with wipes. They can get wet, clean face and hands too, if contains alcohol it's a fire starter.
great list
Great list.
High mountain prices get steep when u run out of tp when I was younger all my shirts were sleeveless haha
I always bring a lucky charm from my daughters
Always put some kind of cream or lotion in your toiletry bag. Nothing worse than chapped cheeks on the trail!
Try putting your mtn $$ in a quart freezer bag dusted with a few tablespoons of baking soda. Can give a clean fresh feeling along with mult uses.
Dryer lint for Fire starter.
What bow slung is that?

T&K hunting gear makes the worlds best bow cover/sling. They make the best gear period. I use it up here in Alaska and it’s tough as nails.
It is the SOLO HNTR bow sling. They are on huntnhouse.com/collections/bow-slings
@@RemiWarren yeah keep ignoring that you use a product (firstlite) that is made by child slave labor. Is your sling made by the same children?
I carry a pair of heavy duty scissors because they are more safe to cut with than a knife so if I can use my snips instead of my knife I do
I carry roughly 1 1/2 feet of bailing wire.
solid idea!
Thanks bud. 🍻
Nice
The other must have household item is a spoon! real tough day when you are carving a spoon in the dark for that peak meal.
Wipes I’m a wipes guy
Wet wipes. Feel fresh on day 7 if you can keep your butt and underarms clean
Tiny bottle of Hand sanitizer. Right next to the TP. Also good for cuts, after gutting, and the armpits.
All of that + baby wipes.
Baby wipes. Clean your butt, clean your hands after field dressing, clean wounds.
RV toilet paper is biodegradable!
You need some 550 cord. Forget that clothes line.
I doubt these city boys know what 550 paracord is 😆
Wet wipes not the ones for the butt.
I watched just to be sure TP was on the list….
wet wipes, leatherman
A Bible
I always take a tampon. An I hand it to the buddy who won't stop complaining about whatever they are whining about. Works everytime.
OK - now that's super funny - I have to remember that one! No offense ladies.
