Double Down on Hunting Pack Gear

What is the one piece of extra/double gear you always carry in your hunting pack? I’ll start :). I always carry two headlamps. You cats?

At least two or more ways to start a fire. I always have 2 Bics. One in my pocket and one sealed in plastic. Also a Ferro rod.

3 bottles of fireball. Just in case we get a bull. I never hunted alone and better be prepared. Lol and a couple of other things like: release, knifes and candy bars.

I have a spare release, usually extra fire starter even in the hot dry season, and a spare flashlight. I have used the release and wish I had the spare flashlight. Trying to hike out when it is black out is no fun.
