There's a lot of packing when you take a hunting trip that lasts several days. And the weather report might be the most important factor when deciding what to take. As I began to pack for this last trip, I really just went through the motions. I had made this trip so many times, I had packing down to a fine art. Several weeks before my trip, I begin making the list of everything I need to bring. A few days before I leave, I begin gathering it all together in a few places. I like this approach because I'm not rushing just hours before I leave. This year was no different. I did what I always do, except I neglected to check the weather until I had everything gathered up.
