Default What do you carry in your gear bag on an extended hunt?
I got a new gear bag with my AT Pro and decided to see if all my stuff would fit. So I dumped my old bag out on the garage floor, cleaned up and organized everything and neatly repacked my gear. I try to bring two of everything on an extended outing in case something breaks or gets lost.

Hear is what I bring.



And it all fit nicely in the bag with room for lunch and drinks. And no this is not a Garrett commercial .



And this is my old bag and all the knarly stuff that fell out when I turned it over. YUCK!!!



Thanks for lookin. Lets go huntin yall.

Sonny.

For extended hunts I bring along a small tackle box that contains a spare set of batteries, a set of ear buds, phono jack adapter, one band-aid and two tylenol.

I might also bring a bottle of water to drink as well.

Other than that, just the normal stuff.
Detector, pinpointer, headphones, finds pouch, digger/sheath, coin popper, and knee pads.

Real men don't use toilet paper. They use leaves.

It probably makes them as angry as it does the rabbits. ~

Just a suggestion, but throwing in a $1 first aid kit from Target might not be a bad idea. When I start my woods hunting in the spring, my Ivarest poison ivy stuff is coming with me.
