When I go to the woods for the day these are the few things I like to carry just incase .

First are two hats one boonie and one stockening for cold nights.

Revision sunglasses for both eye protection and for sun protection and a must in the winter one can get snow blindness easy I have had it when I was small and I know all about it.

Two Mainstay bars which are 12 hour meals in each so I take twice what would be needed for the day just in case something happens I have two days worth of food.

Two SOS glow sticks one orange that is for 5 mins very bright and a longer lasting 8 hour one.

One Flashlight just incase I should need it
One roll of duct tape

 Next is a role of snare wire or also known as army trip wire.

A 100 foot piece of para cord any color para cord has more uses then you can ever think of.

I carry 5 knives yes not needed but I like to carve and have found that I get better results when using the right tools for the job.

Two water bottles one has a built in water filter and a nalgene bottle.

Snugpack poncho to stay out of the rain when it rains hard which it does a lot in New Brunswick.

A small compact set of binoculars.
Scrim net scarf

One shaping stone in the shape of a pen.

And one fire steel
