When it comes to assembling lists of gear for hunts, scouting, or just your outdoor adventures, a little help can sometimes help you avoid leaving home without something you really need. Here's a list of gear I take on my summer backpacking trips, plus an extended list of items that I take on backpack and/or horse pack in trips. The list also has many items linked to Amazon, Black Ovis, or Camp Saver where you can find great deals on any of the gear you need to purchase. Some items you might find you don't need, but I listed the things I take on my trips that help make the trips more comfortable. Hopefully the list comes in handy for you. Email me if you notice that I left anything off that I (and others) should be adding to the load.
