What do you carry while hunting...besides your detecting gear?

[jl_usmc3]

Cell phone, Springfield xd mod.2 .40, and some water

 

[amc rulz]

I've got a whole carry bag full of goodies and spares. And John Moses Browning hunts with me.

You hunt with a ghost? Spooky!

 

[Tyberoz]

I live in a pretty safe little town, but if I'm feeling uneasy about a location, I'll carry either my Ruger LCR 38 spl or GLOCK 19.

 

[early_americana]

Small backpack, Digger, Batteries, Cell phone, Sniper Coil, Water, Wetwipes, Pinpointer, Trash bag, occasionally a S&W airweight.

 

[Mud-puppy]

I only carry the screwdriver for dirt work, no kneepads or PP or anything other than my rig and the driver...deck of Lucky Strikes and a lighter, and cell phone. Sometimes a few paper towels folded up just in case...

Same with water even in the dark, substitute the driver for the scoop..

I have all sorts of possibly needed tools in the car, with back ups. I like moving really light and fast, never too far from the car, and rarely at a dirt site any more than an hour. Totlots 15minutes or less...

After you've tied up the rowdy ones with the electrical tape,kick back and enjoy a little captain,and die your smokes out on em till they cry uncle...lol

 

[ohiochris]

I see some of you go ready to invade a small country and hold out until resupply makes it


Its just me , my pouch , digger , and detector......and usually an extra set of batteries I keep in the car. Travel light , hunt longer , less fatigue afterwards Every ounce of extra weight takes its toll.

Surprised no one mention cleaning supplies for get dates from coins

 

[MattLock]

I just put all my tools and other things in my small plastic tool box so I can grab and go

 

[TandTmrh]

I always carry water. I can stay out for a longer time with some water. I have a few hunting buddies that always go with me. I'll just call them, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson.

 

[56kenworth]

Funyuns.......Lots and lots of Funyuns!

 

[Mud-puppy]

I am happy to see most of my Brothers pack....various vintages and calibers...I 'officially' do not...I've thought about this and decided I dont like waiting around and filling out paperwork. If I was to pack, I'd hand load 9mm ball into .38 cases, and have them stuffed into an old S&W Detective Special 5 shot wheelie dropper in the advent of a 'real serious' situation..(wheelies dont cough out brass either) so truth be told, I probably wouldnt drop it there anyway. Just saying..theoretically here.

Funny thing, a hand held F point is nearly as good! Turn it on and brandish it menacingly, it buzzes like a yellow jacket! Dopers dont know any better! To them it appears to be some sort of stun gun! Swear loud and prolifically and bravely retreat!...Once I get to my car, out comes the custom mud-puppy machete/katana to reinforce the seriousness of the situation...a guy cant be hunting urban schoolyards/parks packing dropper heat I figure...even though theres no end of ammo to be found in them...mainly .380 for some reason? Obviously ejected in a schoolyard fracas where a 5th grader jacks the slide in a hollywood attempt to discourage a 6th grader from taking their Jordans? Whats up with that? Dont these schools teach anything anymore? Damn son! If you got one in the snoot, you dont have to rack the slide! Just point and pull! Plus, most sixth graders now a days are built like a Kenai Grizzly, dress out at about 400lbs, full of mean blueberry hatred so the .380 is underpowered and only effective on a palsied kindergartner if that! No, so if a guy dont have a 12ga stuffed with slugs and 00, you got no chance in a schoolyard! So thats why I dont own any guns or carry...except for the Fpoint, and I dont think a guy has to register them?..except maybe to the Better Business Bureau? They really suck, but they buzz! Lord do they buzz! Kids do know one thing, and thats electricity! Thank you Nikolai Tesla!

[GabbityGabby]

I carry my rope with a magnet on it for magnet fishing, a first aid kit, my cell phone, and pepper spray.

 

[fishnnut]

Model 1 super 90 semiauto 12ga. shotgun loaded with 3" mags and an 8 shot extension....just kidding no just some extra batteries and misc. junk for a possible breakdown out in the boonies. tick spray when those little bastages start coming out..i also have my 31" Sampson with a serrated edge if somebody would think they can be a threat...

 

[PermanentlyLost]

I carry my Lesche, PP gloves and a pair of pruners for the tough roots in a small tool belt.

Keep an ammo box in the truck with a spare coil, AA and 9v batteries, spare ATP battery tray, TP and a bar towel to knock dirt myself.

Carry a sub-compact Glock 40 in my belt or a Smith ultra-lite 38 in a pocket holster.

 

[Swinglow]

Ruger LCR .38+P

oh and a pack of lucky gum. Hawaiian punch flavored.

 

[Nebboy]

Other than regular stuff If I'm at the right location where I can be left alone I like to take a nice cigar to smoke while dirt digging.

 

[JWalker3]

My Cell Phone
.38 S&W
