Whether it's a day hunt, a backcountry excursion or just a horseback ride, there's one item professional hunting guide Aram von Benedikt doesn't leave home without. And it's probably not what you think. That item isn't a gun, waterproof matches or even a knife.

It's a heavy black garbage bag, like the Lawn and Leaf size. You're welcome. The link doesn't tell you unless you watch a movie full of ads. I just saved you the trouble. Donations accepted through PayPal. :lol:

I would have guessed it would be a towel.

Thank you for the answer. I had read somewhere, a while back, that trash bags are very useful for many survival functions.
They have what are called contractor bags. They are substantially heavier and fifty gallon size.
Although I know zilch about hunting or survival mode, it would seem taking one or two or varying sizes of plastic trash bags would be useful. :idea: :idea:

I keep several garbage bags of various sizes as well as an assortment of zip-lok bags in each of my vehicles not to mention a roll each of toilet paper and paper towels in zip-lok bags, as well as a good folding knife, a small pair of scissors, a folding pruning pullsaw, a compact toolkit (screwdrivers, a socket wrench and sockets, pliers, an adjustable wrench and a multimeter.), and a sewing kit. If I'm going camping, I add additional tool and sewing kits (the add-on tool kit has things like a butane soldering iron and its accoutrements, and the add-on sewing kit has tools and supplies for tent and shelter repair, setting grommets, and the like.) And don't forget the photovoltaic chargers for cell-phones, e-readers and the like.

Huh? How?
How about just carrying a "Spot-Check" device from http://findmespot.com? I have one, and when I'm out exploring and photographing on my own, I carry one with me, and I send out "spot checks" with GPS coords every hour or so. Recipients receive an email depicting my exact location on a Google map. If I have an emergency it has a satellite 911 button that sends a emergency message to the nearest rescue service or Sheriff's dept, et al. I've had one for about 9 years now, and they work well. They also have a satellite phone they sell, and a "spot-check" device that will connect with your cell-phone and you can send a message via satellite. Check them out.

So you have to wake up every three hours to rearm the 'dead man switch'?

No, I believe they use private, not government satellites. It's relatively inexpensive (for the Spot Check device), about $99 for the t***smitter, and I pay an annual fee of around $150 that includes insurance to cover the cost of a rescue and medivac.

I see. the rescue/medevac insurance definitely sounds like a good add-on. That could be a very expensive helicopter ride.
