Hi everyone! I love being in the woods, but can never figure out what to take on a long trip. These are Some things that i like to have. If you have any questions, please ask! Also feel free to give any tips or ideas
Knife

First, you'll need a knife. Knives can be used for a number of things, and are good to have on hand.
Rope and Wire

Next, you'll need rope and a coil of wire. The rope can be used for tying things up, and the coil of wire can be used to make snares
Food

Now, you will want to pack some preservable food. Nutritional bars, crackers, and dried beef are good choices.
Gun or Bow and Arrows

You will most likely need something other than crackers for a sustainable diet. A weapon can be used to hunt for food, and protection
Water

This is probably the most vital thing to have. You will need to bring a water bottle AND purification tablets.
Sleeping Bag

If you plan on spending the night, it's best to bring a sleeping bag. I prefer a thicker one with extra insulation
First Aid

Next, you will need a first aid kit. These are very important, and should always be carried with you when in the woods.
Heat

Lastly, One important thing you will need is a lighter, or waterproof matches. These will be needed to start a fire for cooking, light, and warmth.
