Jim's Gear Loadout

I take a nearly identical pack on nearly every hunt.  Backpacking, car camping, cold weather, summer, doesn’t matter.  All that I really change is the caliber of rifle and the warmth of the clothing.  Other than that, I usually take the exact same gear so I know where everything is, and that I am prepared for almost any scenario.

Your gear load out will likely look different as we’re all individuals, but this system has worked well for me.
