Some people likely find this part of hunting boring, monotonous, annoying, confusing if they have no organizational abilities, or maybe they just hate it. The gear prep work and packing is my favorite part leading into the actual hunt, mostly because it means its almost time to hunt I suppose. Below is a living document that I keep and constantly update. Initially, besides its main purpose of being a checklist to make sure I didn’t forget anything, it was meant to be put on here and updated as needed. It goes without saying that I haven’t done much with the website for quite a while, which is a completely different topic and post altogether. Either way, here it is. I will be keeping this here for me to reference, however, if it helps someone think of something for their hunt or remind them to grab something they might otherwise forget, great! Happy gear prep!
