Never go into the hunting area without...

What is the most necessary item/s to take with you while on a hunting safaris?

Hunters don’t want to take unnecessary items with them but do always ask the question “what if…?” and then arriving in the hunting area with too many ‘gadgets’ and unnecessary stuff that is actually not going to be use while hunting. A Hunter have to carry his rifle, bino’s, range finder, extra bullets – this already is adding to that extra weight. Obviously all ‘unnecessary’ items cause obstruction in movement or even exhaustion or dehydration can creep in…

So what will the most necessary item/s to take with you on a hunting safari?

Never been to Africa, but these are the items that I would deem "necessary" in addition to rifle, binos, and ammo (I do not consider a range finder "necessary"....if I think it its too far away, then it IS!")

Extra water, salt tablets, compass, knife or blade of some kind, matches/lighter (some means of starting a fire), small first aid kit, small length of rope or twine, and a rain poncho.

With the above mentioned items, I think I could survive comfortably if needs be.
