May well be. I seldom go anywhere without a large roll in a pocket. I also keep a roll in both trucks, I don't intend to get caught with my pants down, pun intended, after a buddy told me about getting a nature call beside a mountain road in a driving snowstorm and having nothing handy but a Col. Sanders wet towelette. I like to think I'm fairly tough, but not that tough!

When I go out it is not just a drive out to the plot and a climb up to the stand. It is miles out into the wild with wild as far as the eye can see, so I go with the very real possibility that I could be unavoidably detained for a couple of days. So:
Shelter; paracord, rope, 5X7 nylon tarp, bivvy sack, space blanket, swiss army knife
Fire; fire steel, magnesium starter, petroleum jelly smeared cotton balls, matches
Water; 2 25 oz stainless steel filled water bottles, primos kettle
Welfare; firstaid kit, toilet paper, fishing handlines, compass, map
This is in addition to the knives and fire makings and firearms carried on my person

2 snicker bars,emergency blanket,lg zip ties, paracord, matchless firestarter, Bino's, rangefinder, GPS,antibact wipes,first aid kit,bottle of water tabs,purifier,flashlight,cell or satelite phone,whistle,mirror I don't usually venture more then 2 miles from camp,so I only pack essentials most of the time. What I need to hunt with,tag and drag,2 snicker bars,20oz mountain dew, satelite or cell phone depending on where we are,whistle. The toilet paper belongs in camp,not the woods. If you can't do your business before you leave camp ,then you need to stop eating until you come back from hunting.Somethings just don't belong in the woods I hunt. All I'm gonna say bout that.

@deerhunterrick
You are telling me you've never had to go in the woods? If you spend all day in the woods, chances are pretty good that you will have to do some business and I'd rather be prepared than wipe with some leaves! Especially in the fall with dead dried up leaves.
