Bare essentials, I need my Woodhaven or DC diaphragm call/Josh Farley Box and my own pot(either slate over aluminum in a padauk pot or a slate over maple in a wenge pot. I am a newly converted box call guy, I am madly in love with this Josh Farley box. It is low skill playable, which I am, and a work of art. Those 3 with my crow call is really all I use. I wittled it down from the dozen I used to haul around, lol. Al
An original Lohman barred owl call. Seriously about the loudest and truest sounding call I've ever seen. After that, my K&H Halefire (tuned to actually work lol) and then my primos hooked up box-I have a few WAAAAY more expensive boxes, but this call just rocks. After that I'd say my K&H Ole' Yeller slate that's killed a PILE of birds and then whatever mouth call I've found that I like that spring.

The ol'yeller pot from years back was a killer. I gave mine away years ago to a guy just started hunting. Should have kept it.
A double sided pot from Pappy Jack Lewis is always with me along with several Turkey Getter mouth calls, a few Woodhaven mouth calls, a sweet sounding Hanks Glass, and my tried and true Lynch Box.
I try to run pretty light most of the time. I'll have 3 or 4 diaphragm calls that I make and the Madhatter copper pot call with 2 strikers. Sometimes I'll throw in a glass pot call depending on the weather.
I always have a Houndstooth Tom Bomb and Vixen in my mouth call case. I always have a ceramic call with me. Last year a Stumpy mahogany ceramic was very good to me. The backup to that call varies by day, though a Daybreak aluminum and a Lyman slate took a ride more often than anything else. For locators I just have a plastic Harrison hooter.
