I've been using zipties after using the buttout. They're good for securing the transport tag too. They're almost as useful as duct tape. Never used a but out but I take the butt out last and I field dress with a razor knife got tired of dull knifes when skinning game so I use fillet knifes to butcher and razor knife to gut

I forgot about the butt out tool and the Garmin I bought myself for Christmas last year.
Zip ties are very handy for tying off the poop chute and securing temporary tags.

I have never used a backpack for hunting. I carry my stuff in an army surplus bag with a shoulder strap on it. Bought it 40 years ago at a gun show and its still in service. The usual contents are a 3 or 4 inch hunting knife, a small flashlight, a small roll of TP, 6 feet of 1/2 inch rope to pull a deer out with, a few extra rounds of ammo, a couple of shipping tags and a pencil. If I am in more remote or unfamiliar terrain, a compass and a lighter are included. For me this is light but right. At my age I don't want to carry anything more than I have to. I do have a cell phone in my pocket in case of emergencies. I put it in a ziplock bag and carry it in a pocket under my coat.

I really don't take a lot of equipment with me since I hunt a short distance from my house. Besides my rifle & hunting coveralls, I take along:
1. Four extra rounds of ammunition.
2. Two sharp knives.
3. Three pairs of latex surgical gloves
4. Antibacterial hand cleaner.
5. A Walkie in case I need my Brother's assistance, I can call him.

I hunt close to home but I want to be able to stay out there all day if i want I usually hunt until noon, walk back to my house, eat lunch, then resume hunting. About 90% of the time; I harvest my Deer during my morning hunt.

Wallet Tags/Licenses Paper Map + Compass GPS + Extra Batteries Phone Havalon Knife + Blades Bone Saw Multi-Tool Game Bags or Trash Bags for Packing Meat Extra Ammunition 550 Para-cord Small Tarp (in case I need to spend a night away from camp) Small First-Aid Kit Water Purification Pills

Or a small set of hemostats. Nevermind if the multi-tool has a great set of needlenose. But, check them first.

Feminine hygiene products! You are right. From Traditional Bowhunting weekly e=mail: "Tamponsby Charlie Ek (aka eidsvolling)
Every bowhunter, male and female, should carry tampons. They can serve two important functions: very absorbent material to stop bleeding in the event of an accident, or as fire tinder.
The photo shows a tampon in its waterproof packaging, an intact unwrapped tampon, a half tampon that has been pulled apart into fire tinder and the remaining half. As fire tinder, it lights easily and burns very well. With the waterproof packaging and extremely light weight, there's always room for them in a pocket or a pack."
My lesson for the day!
