My list is similar to yours, just not as extensive as yours:).....one thing I always carry, in spite of the weight, are two road flares....useful for emergency signaling but my primary use is build a fire during periods of extremely wet/windy conditions....they work every time.

to carry as much as you:):) That means a smaller tarp & only 2 game bags (back to camp with some meat & to pick up others). Cold food (candy, granola bars, & soup mix). Matches & fire starters - no stove & fuel. Soup mix for ribs over a wood fire:) Bottle type water filter. No spotting scope. Rifle scope mounted on rifle.
Otherwise just about the same as yours.

My survival pack
Posted by Cliffhanger on Nov 06 2005
I posted a question about what to carry in a survival pack on another forum and after getting some repsonses put together this fanny pack kit.
Some of the stuff I had already and simply made use of (like the bizarre hammer multi-tool). Other things I had extras of and put them in the pack because they were lightweight...
Cabelas Whitetail fanny pack with 650 cubic inches of space, with hunters knife and scabbard. 5x7 foot ground tarp, first aid kit, plus Army field dressing, 50 feet parachute cord, stainless cup with oatmeal packets, ziplock with fire tinder and space blanket, extra space blanket, pocket holder with mini-flashlight, pocket knife and Blistex, field saw, hammer multi-tool, ziplock with magnesium fire starter, coat hanger wire, signaling kit, LED headlamp, and ziplock with mini-flashlight, toilet paper, disposable flashlight, water purification tablets, snare wire, Bic lighter and surveyors tape.
The fanny pack has room for a waterproof map holder, and has a pocket on the belt for a hand-held GPS, and a pocket for a 26 oz. water bottle. (I upgraded the water bottle to a larger size, but forgot to put it in the photo.) The whole things weighs about 7 pounds...

Let me preface this by saying that most of my big game hunting is deer hunting on the islands here in the Sound, so some of my concerns might not be the same as someone on a sheep hunt or a remote moose hunt. I also use my boat for transportation, so I have some things along on the boat that I may not pack with me. And I always plan on getting back to the boat by sometime around dark or soon after.
Usually if I'm going up high, I'll take a daypack. I will pack a lunch and snacks. A quart of water. a spare knife and sharpener. Spare bullets. Wind and rainproof lighter. firesticks (these two items are indispenible with the weather we have here) A baggy full of paper towels. Extra gallon baggies for heart and liver. (by the way, you can take a plastic bag and hook it on a forked stick and boil water in it. try it some time) a couple teabags or instant coffee bags. A baggy with a pair of dry socks and waterproof gloves. compass. small block and tackle (for getting deer up high if I have to leave them overnight. I found one that works great with 3/8 line and isn't very heavy) 20 feet of halibut ganjon for my drag or any tie-up job I need to do. two deer calls (one commercial, one my dad made) Binoculars. Talk-about if I'm hunting with someone. (We only turn them on to locate each other when one of us shoots or it's getting dark, nothing worse than getting a call when you're making a sneak) A laminated contour map if I'm hunting a new area. Sunglasses. my deer drag which my buddy made out of a parachute harness. (it's nice to have your hands free when dragging)
If I decide to go light, I'll wear my fanny pack, with plastic bags, paper towels, extra bullets, trail mix and jerky, water, windproof lighter, knife,spare, and sharpener, compass, deer calls, and water. I'll wear my drag on my back and binoculars around my neck.
As I'm using a boat, I use a small folbot (kayak) to get to the beach after I anchor in a safe place. I take a handheld VHF radio to the beach in case of emergency. (boat drags anchor and smashes on the rocks, etc.) I also take a pair of rubber boots, a pair of insulated coveralls,(or a mustang suit if the weather warrents), rain gear more dry socks, and extra food and water, and sometimes a small tarp. I store this stuff in my overturned kayak which I tie to trees above the high-water line.
I dress in layers, and remove to my pack if needed or loop in my belt if carrying the fanny pack. I always have my shortsleeve polar fleece pullover with me and a baseball cap. And don't forget the hunting license, tags, and ID.
I forgot the flashlight or headlamp and extra batteries. Hope I don't do that on a real hunt. lol
