Will be living out of my tent for a few days....Hunting on new Land!!

[Ridge Runner]

Well, I inherited 40 acres of beautiful land in northern Maine and will travel to it next week for some camping and hunting.

I plan on parking my car off to the side of the road and will be exploring my new land.

It is heavily forrested, with two fields and several logging trails cut throught it.

I plan on hunting deer for three days and only using what I bring on my back.

Wish me luck.....It is getting cold up here in Maine.

Bringing:

1 Dutch surplus tent with a rubber bottom.
1 Swedish 35L backpack.
1 Sleeping bag
1 Wool blanket.
Dried food for 3 days. Mountian house meals.
1 Swiss Volcano stove kit. I have modifed it so it will take a Svea alcohol stove.
1 spare set of clothes and sleepwear.
Several small items (cleaning, sewing kit, compass, fire equipment, etc.)
1 Marlin 30-30 lever action rifle and scope.
1 Mora knife
1 saw
2 canteens

My only concern is bringing enough water with me. I may have to cheat and keep some extra in the car.

Don't forget the first aid kit.
Have fun.

i doubt there'll be any need for an axe or heavy knife with a mora and a saw.
they should cover most eventualities.

Sorry, just had to be said... (in classic Monty Python mode) " You lucky, lucky, b*stard..."




Wish I was there...

Don't forget the glenfiddich mate

no axe or heavy knife?

Have not found an axe I like yet. I do have a Glock knife that I probably take along.

I do prefer a saw to an axe.........but that may be because I have not found the right axe!!!!!
