Re: Must HAVE equipment
As everyone said LW sticks and stand. Handheld light, try nebo redline. They cost about $25 and it's like a spotlight in the palm of your hand

Re: Must HAVE equipment
Fiskars PowerGear Lopper, 18-inch. I find the little one hand loppers to be almost worthless.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Good call Stanley. I use the 32" Fiskars Lopper to take off deer legs at the knuckle. Love that lopper.

Re: Must HAVE equipment
for a handheld flashligh I bought a little led flashlight that takes AAA's from walmart and it comes with a blue and red lens. The blue lens is great for blood trailing. It is only 5 inches long and very bright. The big difference is the led bulb. I was surprised. I use to buy the little mag lights, but now I only use flashlights with led bulbs.

Re: Must HAVE equipment
1. Zipties
2. TP (for the obvious and for marking last-blood when tracking crippled deer)
3. Wool - never cotton.
I added these two items to my pack this year and both worked great.
Replaced my Surefire with this:

Added this knife:
