Blankets, they are heavy and bulky and are the biggest weight in my kit. However they are necessary. I have pared my gear down to the point that I carry essentials, but still carry what someone stepping into the forest might take (1760's), rather than what someone would take NOW (2005) knowing they would only be gone overnight. I always cringe when someone says, "I'm only going on a day hunt, so I'll only carry 5 loads". Be prepared, you won't regret it!!!!

[Translation: My straw tick] I hate sleepin' on the hard prairie sod. But I'll tell you what, that tick sure has made many a cold, cold night downright comfy.
