I always wonder what I should carry in my bumbag, what does everybody else carry?
Its a fine line between everything but the kitchen sink and still being light.
 
knife
ammo pouch
mobile phone
few pairs gloves
2 carrier bags
few wet wipes
bottle water (sometimes)

I like to keep it as light as possible.
 
x2 Knives
Drag rope
string
Camera
Rubber gloves
Ammo pouch
Small rifle cleaning kit
Head torch
Small Bone saw

Soudn like alot but it isnt really all packs down.
 
  • Spare knife (main knife is on my belt)
  • Compact bone saw
  • Disinfectant wipes
  • Bit of plastic to keep stuff out the dirt
  • Rope (for dragging/suspended gralloch)
  • Head torch
  • Gloves
  • Small first aid kit (compression bandage, large wound dressing)
  • Tick remover
 
Not a bum bag as such, but a belt pouch:

S hooks
Deer Extractor
Bone Saw
Rubber Gloves
Torch
Bottle of Water
Mars Bar
Map of the Woods (if necessary)

The Mars bar has sometimes been very handy, just after the gralloch when everything calms down and you realise the long walk out ahead!
 
Far too American and they'd call it a fanny pack. Sums it up really. Get a good jacket with plenty of pockets. I'm anal and only put one item in each pocket, I hate hearing clankity clank.
 
Never use one but do think about it some times and would have the same as I do for my roe sack. Knife and spare, wet wipes, plastic bag, drag rope, gloves disposable, head torch, some string and compact bone saw. If I'm close to the vehicle or can get vehicle to close extraction point it's left in the car except Knife. If going a bit further after Munites or roe, it goes in the roe sack and hardly know its there on the way out. If its full on the way back I'm happy. Fallow well hope for the first case or I work up a bit of a sweat!
When I first started all I had in my pockets was a knife and drag rope but food hygiene has changed all that.
 
Dont use one very gay if you ask me. Travel light and make noise that will not happen crawling with stuff round your waist.
 
The following live in mine ready to go, but the first 3 come out when I arrive at the ground.

  • Head net **
  • Primary knife **
  • Shooting gloves **
  • Head torch
  • Spare knife
  • Small Wetstone
  • Bone saw
  • Sanitising wipes
  • Sanitising gel
  • Plastic Bags and Ties
  • Gloves
  • Mars or Snickers

Head lamp.
Torch.
bullet pouch.
cable ties.
Sheath knife, folding knife.
Drag rope(wire custom one).
dog lead.
hand warmers packets.

small first aid kit and germaline.
summer insect repellent.

from a ph point of view, I cover large areas of open hill, I carry in my pack:

First Aid kit, condensed into 1/2 ice cream tub size
Strobe,
thermal rescue suit,
dragging rope,
lunch,
spare knife,
gloves,
spare ammo,
leatherman,
kitchen roll in bag (for cleaning scope lenses;))
spare plastic bag
bright orange flag,
camera

seems like alot but doesn't weigh much, I need space for clients stuff, and I tend to cover big distances along way from anyone else.

I have broken my leg badly on the hill on my own and stuff like the survival suit was a god send.

the strobe is the most important and from a resucuers point of view a great peice of kit,
