Note the unspent tags on the right. If you have ever made stock with unspent tags you understand the difficulty. Let’s just say it’s far tastier to fill thembut we’re huntingnot shopping. My favourite @remington gun oil is always in my pack, along with some home made fire starter ( cotton makeup removers drenched in petroleum jelly), and a couple of fire ignition options. Here: matches, waterproof matches, a flint sparkerall this in addition to my old school @Zippo that ri...des, freshly filled m, in my front pants pocket. Note the plastic bags for small game and select big game innards. And spare @duracell batteries, of course. There is a #spaceblanket here and an aluminum emergency reflector, in addition to a whistle and carbide blade sharpener. . . . . . . #bowrivermeats #bearhuntingmagazine #bearhunting #albertaoutdoorsmenmagazine #aca #harvestyourown #harvestyourownaca #birchcanoe See more

Yup, my first aid gear is in a stainless cooking pot. I have never been truly lost, but I plan for it. You never know when you might have to make labrador tea, or simmer a squirrel.

Yep, all this is going back in the pack: I like knives. And I like what they do in the field. The long flexible boning knife is perfect to filet a king salmon or remove the loins from a moose, the curved knife is a small steak knife, perfect for removing hips and shoulders, the axe is the smallest @wetterlingsaxes makes, the ulu and the Yukon knife are test samples rfrom @knivesofalaska (they were fantastic, the ulu is a wonderful skinning tool, and the Yukon is very maneuver...able and perfect for disassembling a deer. There are two options for sharpeners here, a folding @stihlcanada bone saw and the @buckknives Vanguard, my favourite knife to wear on my hip. . . .. #knivesofalska #wetterlings #stihlcanada #birchcanoe See more
