Welcome Mark,
I always carry water into the woods, even on cool fall days. For a hunter Vs, hiker, I'd say the diferences are
1. Hikers tend to stay on trails 2. Hikers rarely shoot each other, by accident 3. Hunters tend to out in the field earlier and later in the season.

Mark,
Please excuse these rude responses!
If I made my first post and got this nonsense I would blow this site off as a bunch of fools and spend my valuable time elsewhere. There are fellow hunters here.
Welcome to ETS! It is a great place! There are more survival ideas being tried and discussed here than anywhere else I have seen.
Look on the home page and you will see two books suggested: "98.6" and "Deep Survival" they may be at your library. They are the source for many of the discussions here.

Specs. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> You can't tell us the carrier and the weight and not whats in it. That's teasing. *pouts*
Don't worry, folks, it's just St. Paddy's day.

Welcome; I'm also a hunter. what I add to my pack depends on where i'm heading, and how far I might be "dragged out", how many are in the party, ect.( the farther-and, tougher that you go- the more you need). I always carry a PSK, and a Real FAK, and supliment these as required, per situation - there's a ton of diference between hunting rabbits, and elk

Hi Mark, sounds like you're off to a great start with your resources and PSK. Being a resourceful and experienced outdoorsman is your biggest asset.
Some type of emergency food would be nice to add if you have space. Some smoked almonds, beef jerky, candy, etc would be good for fat, carbs, and to mellow you out during the initial day or so until you asess your situation, treat injuries, and develop a plan.
Those items aren't quite as prone to weather changes and store well. Glucose tablets from the drug store are good for quick carbs, compact, and last forever if stored airtight.
