I like to cover ground and am an explorer by nature. I hunt alone a lot so I like to be prepared. I think nothing of a 6 or 8 mile jaunt so I try to keep it realistic. I can carry that stuff all day in these mountains. Don't use locators much and never first thing in the morning but I like to have them in case.
