    As someone who tends to hunt alone fairly often and in new places I would add a few emergency items. A GPS Tracker app for your phone, a compass and other small items like two protein bars, a whistle, a couple of hand-warmers and one of those small emergency space blankets. You never know what can happen and carrying 8 more ounces in your vest might save your life or the life of someone else…
