Backpack contents:

cell phone
video camera
some times a PB&J sandwich.

Wearing:
pinpointer - right rear pocket
digging tool - left rear pocket

knee pad - left leg
ball cap
leather gloves
Long sleeve shirt, yes even on Memorial Day when it was 80 degrees, the 2 times that I didn't were it, I got poisen ivy bad


and soon a hand held GPS...

Do I need all of this extra weight, no. But I always have what I need.

[treasurefiend]

do any of you have any specific things that you pack when you go out to the woods?

I don't need half that stuff, but where are the spare batteries? Rob

[treasurefiend]

I use rechargables, I charge them up before I hunt, don't need the spares.

Root saw, keyhole saw, straight blade trimmer saw or equivalent? Eventually you'll get a signal from inside a three inch thick root. Pulled two mercs and a barber dime out of roots in the past myself. Suppose you could go down to the river and hire a beaver to do your root work for you....
