Plastic trash bags will ruin meat. You need cotton bags that allow the meat to cool at air temp. JMO.

Pillow cases work great for packing meat...much stronger than game bags...washable and re-useable or disposable they are like $1 at Walmart...and you can use them for other stuff

Coach, most of my pack-outs are less than 2 miles from transportation. I use them to cut down on the blood soaking into the pack.

YUP, I do carry more knives than one might need. The one I got for my birthday is more for luck than anything else.

I use a Badlands 2200 for longer hikes, but I really like the pack I got from Predator Camo. G2 day pack.

I take a piece of 3D leafy wear (remnant store) and some green plastic spring clips. Have used it for makeshift gilly suit while predator hunting, draped it over some gathered dead fall for a ground blind, clipped it up in a tree to provide shade in an otherwise good glassing spot and wrapped it around me when it was colder than expected to help shield the wind (admittedly didn't help much, maybe physicalogically?) Anyway, it's very light and very usefull.

Other must haves are glass cleaning kit, bipod for rifle (folding shooting sticks), extra ammo, range finder, camera, rain cover for pack and compressed windbreaker for me, pocket comb for removing cholla cactus, pen and paper for notes, compass (GPS failure), map of the area, matches in waterproof container, butt pad for sitting on and also good as knee pad while field dressing game, very light camo gloves, Cabela's sells them, have little rubber bumps on palms, great for keeping a grip on rifle, bino's, plus keeps hands out of sun.
