  • 18 | The 10 Essentials - Not Just For Boy Scouts

    Today we're talking about the 10 Essentials, a list of items developed by adventurers and mountaineers to help you be prepared (the Boy Scout motto, by the way) for any scenario in the outdoors. We cover:


    • the importance of first aid kits
    • why hunters need headlamps even more than other outdoorsmen
    • navigation systems
    • the one tool most hunters wouldn't be caught dead without
    • fire starters (not just your lighter)
    • how sunscreen helps you avoid tiredness
    • bivy sacks vs trash bags
    • packing extra clothing
    • emergency water
    • extra food


    For short trips, most of your 10 Essentials will fit in a gallon ziplock bag, so it's not hard to bring them along.


    If there's something you consider an essential that's not on the 10 Essentials list, send me an email at [email protected] and let me know!
