Re: what type - style pac.
I have a small pack that makes itself into a stool. It's not good for either one, but it's ok.

Re: what type - style pac.
I make a serious effort to take the smallest possible amount of "stuff" with me when I go into the woods .... if I have a truck/four wheeler close by I generally pack more than if I'm walking .... early on I tried several different WWII Army Surplus packs with separate pack frames, never did like the feel of them .... the backpack I use is a decades old version of the Cabela's Whitetail Day Hunting Pack ===> http://www.cabelas.com/product/hunting/ ... _104392080 <===

Re: what type - style pac.
I have a Cabela's soft fluorescent orange back pack that I have used for years but last year, for the first time, I tried to eliminate everything that I could and use my pockets in my hunting coat and pants because at my age I don't need the extra weight on my back when going up the mountain, even though it is a gradual climb and not very steep. Some of the things that I carried I really didn't need, after all. The wind in the old body isn't what it used to be.

Re: what type - style pac.
He's my old hunting buddy. Not long after I took this pic. , on our way back out , he sliped on a rock
Stepping over a washed out section of this trail.
I though he broke his leg.
I won't be bring him up anymore. But we had a great day together.
On the way home we stoped at the black bear diner , for a bowl of hot chillie.
We always stoped there on our way up to his camp
Or on our way home

Re: what type - style pac.
I carry a relatively inexpensive day pack when I go hunting. I was on a flight crew for many years, so the thought of going into the woods out of sight of the parking lot has me wanting some kind of survival equipment. Since I might have to track an animal into the woods, I have at least a modicum of stuff that will allow me to have a chance to spend the night safely in the woods rather than wander around in the dark. I also keep my spare ammo and minimal equipment needed to get an animal to the vehicle.

Re: what type - style pac.
Yup! He's an "old" hunting buddy, but to be 87 and still hiking trails with a rifle and an eye for game, he's so much younger than I am. Glad he's OK and that you're both still enjoying the hunt.biglever wrote: ... my 87 yr old uncle that I brought up to the Adirondacks for a day in the woods. He's my old hunting buddy.
