I always tell at least 2 people my exact hunting location in case something happens.

When I have people come in from out of town that want to go hiking I will usually tell then to add a gallon of water to what they think they will need, and then double that. I also tel them that no matter what when they get half way through their water it is time to turn around and head out the way they came in. I totally agree with the premise of packing extra. Especially for back country hunting and hiking.

Midway through our horseback tracking his horse lost a shoe. We were fortunate to get the horse back to the truck some 6 hours later. The horse had to be retired because of permanent damage caused to his hoof from the rough terrain. We easily could have been there not only overnight, but over several nights. So food, water, and any medication, especially prescription is a must to plan for.Bill Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07332481397303536599noreply@blogger.com
