This was one of my favorite threads from the old site. Lets revive it. List your must haves in your boat.

Some of mine:

Extra innerloc tips (screw on ends)
Extra spool of line.
Deep woods OFF.
T.P.

I'm sure I'm think of some more, but this gets things started.

tools, extra nocks, extra arrows, gas, two back up bows, fire ext., push pole, extra batteries, extra cloths just in case you get a little wet, fish barrel, gaff, extra hps bulbs, oil for genny and fan, and the trolling motor just in case the fan dies so you can still fish

Brown listerine in a spray bottle...works just as well on ticks, chiggers and skeeters as OFF or Skin So Soft, but it's WAYYYYYYYYYY cheaper! I use itfor **** hunting too, works great! Super glue, nocks, lighter, tools for boats and bows, extra arrows, gaff, back up bow...this list could go on forever lol

I keep just about 2 of everything in the boat for a spare , for tourneys I even bring a spare troller and keep it in the truck... I hate having to pack it up early cause something broke...

When my boat is running I always made sure to have rain gear, a pair of coveralls (or at least a heavy coat, even summer nights can get chilly), extra rope for everything from tieing off, towing, to rigging up an extra anchor. That said, I have an extra anchor. Flashlights, headlamps, paddles (to prevent going up chit creek without a paddle), gun with ammo, also carry a tarp. Bailing bucket that has seen mroe use than I care to admit cuz i've had bilge pump trouble. Solar battery charger, various tools, axe, sometimes a small chainsaw, extra fuel and oil. I've learned from experience..
