Gotta Have Two of Those

What do you cats feel you "must" have two of when you're miles away from the truck? Without a spare one of these, you could really be up the creek without a paddle. I know I always carry two headlamps and at least two diaphragms. What about you folks?

Two flashlights, last year it was one small flashlight and one headlamp. (also extra lith. batteries) Once I went turkey hunting a hour or so before dawn and just started to set up the blind and the only flashlight I had died. Being out there just an hour in the dark waiting for light to find where you set the bow and my other gear was no fun. I couldn't imagine being in the mountains days on end without a flashlight.

Knives, diaphragms, and headlamps. Always have two with me

Two ways to start a fire, for sure.

It's nice to have two ways to purify water, too. (Filter, sure, but then to bring along some tablets is a great backup).

Backup batteries are nice.

One can get carried away worrying about things like this, but some duplication is just smart.

easeup, can't you just send your pony back to the truck for a replacement

Just teasing. Anyone else. What do you carry two of when "well" away from the truck.. Some good offerings so far.

2 lights, 2 releases, extra batteries, and two ways to tell direction (one of which is a compass for those times when the GPS doesn't pick up).

Two of the "smoke in a bottle."

I always carry 2 arrows. 1 for the kill & the other to signal my buddies to come help with the pack out.Dont know why the 2nd arrow as they always never show up :roll:

actually, I always have spare batteries & a couple kinds of fire starter as well as a spare release.

More often than not, I have a pair of extra socks in my pack - thats 2 isnt it?

by **RockChucker30** » 06 24, 2013 • [Post 14]

I carry two releases (or gloves if the recurve is along). I carry a water filter and backup tablets, and I normally have 2-3 extra pairs of socks.

For light I have a zebralight headlamp and a fenix flashlight, both of which run on one AA Lithium. I carry two extra lithium AA's for flashlights, GPS, or spot.

excellent idea. I wonder how long it would take to teach that iron head to go and come back with something?

two lights.

this is the only thing i have redundancy with. one headlamp..one CR123 powered flashlight. my flashlight uses one battery and lights up like the sun.
