What "bare minimum" items do you always carry when hunting, fishing, or hiking an unfamiliar area.
I grew up hunting here in the midwest where you are virtually within 2 mi of a house at all times...usually within 3 mi of my house, so I could carry whatever comfort items I wanted. Sometimes filling my pack with unnecessary junk.
After nearly exhausting myself on a moose hunt in the Canadian bush, I slashed the contents of my pack to the bare bones. In fact, I rarely take more than will go comfortably in my pockets.
When I asked an old trapper friend of mine what he carried in the bush of Canada he said, "gun, ammo, knife, binoculars. All that junk you carry will kill you someday" He was right!!
Going light as actually made my adventures so much easier and more enjoyable.
My hunting kit: (go bag, pack, whatever you call it)
compass, knife, lighter, flashlite, multitool, and sometimes my Ruger Single Six 4 5/8 barrel .22 mag or my Taurus 627 Tracker .357 mag.
What's in your pack??
