Whoops, that's 2009 season. I also saw some of these items are carryover from deer hunting items. We would quarter,de-bone and pack out. THanks.

Extra gas cans for the truck, oil, and spare tire(s) checked, and add some more large camp rope.

As this is a road side camp, I always bring a spike camp also. I'm guessing most on this list will not do to pack in a couple miles ? go small and lightweight. Example a water purifier, bevy tent, backpack food, a lightweight sleeping bag etc. Most people only want to backpack in 2 or 3 days.
