You should have cloths to wear. You need to have all you tags with you. You need to kepp your tags with you since if a rager finds you and you need tags to hunt. You need to know how to build a fire so you can cook. You need pots and pans to cook your food.
Dear, NooB
ReplyDeleteWell NooB I'm a poor guy. What if I can't afford a GPS? Then what should I do? See when you tell people to bring water bottles, I can't get any because I don't have money, so man, I look around the rez and I just pick up at random one off the ground and use it :). See the thing you say about food...THATS WHY I GO HUNTING OBVI! Well, you NooB, if I can't eat raw meat then I'm going to have to cook some then put it in my fanny pack. When my hand get cold I use my warrior skills and kill a dear with my gun and KILL A DEER to keep me warm by sleeping in it :).
Well bye bye NooB
Injureguy,
ReplyDeleteWell it's obvious you would take food with you while hunting. Like, C'mon, who wouldn't take food? These are all common sense necessities. Of course, your going to need a water bottle. Who wouldn't take a GPS when there going into a unknown area? Who knows what could happen? You may get lost or off the trail and have to stay the night. Then you would have to put your survival cap on. But, guess what? Since you ONLY post common sense stuff then some people wouldn't survive. This was a very poor post and I think you may have done better.
