My vest has gotten smaller and smaller over the years...

Now the requirements are usually-

-GPS with topo map
-a few extra shells
-one pot call (usually anodized aluminum because it's high pitched)
-4-5 mouth calls
- rolled up TP (yep, it's a must have)
- thermocell (if you hunt in the deep south you know why)
- box call
- crow call

I'm just gettin' started, so my list is neither as long nor as distinguished as some of y'alls - but it makes it easy to write out, especially since I spread it all out on the couch yesterday to make sure it was all ready!

I've switched to a new backpack & fanny pack this year, so I think I'm getting all of my stuff correct:

- Spring Creek Calls Purpleheart/Cedar box call (thx Mike!)
- Billy White slate pot call & 3 Billy White strikers (hickory, purpleheart, and acrylic)
- Woodhaven Cherry Crystal Classic pot call
- old Lohman's ThunderDome crystal pot call
- Assortment of Woodhaven & DND mouth calls in an old Copenhagen can, drilled out holes top & bottom for ventilation (keeps 'em smellin' nice!)
- Gloves & leafy mask
- Extra shells
- Hunting license & hunter safety course paperwork (needed it in Texas)
- Chalk in a zip-lock bag
- Weed/brush trimmers
- Decoys & stakes
- T.P. in a zip-lock bag  :)
- Small bottle of water
- Rubber bands
- Maps of public land properties
- Headlamp
- Butt pad (in backpack)
- Old turkey wing (for fly-down & scratchin' stuff)
- Various conditioning items (sandpaper & scratch pad stuff)
- Bug spray
- Frogg Toggs waterproof suit (if needed)
- Knife
- Knight&Hale Hale Fire (rarely used)
- HD Kodak PlaySport mini-camcorder & camo tripod (new this season!)

I think that's about it...
