So, here where I live, there will be no backyard hunting. I have to head to the woods to hunt those wiley tree rats and wabbits. Will be carrying my Hatsan 95 Vortex QE and a possibles type shoulder bag. Besides my .22cal. pellets, hunting knife and some other personal items, what would you air rifle hunters recommend for a day in the field rifle related?

Don’t forget the TP either.I always had a wad of folded up napkins in my hunting coat. You will always need them at some point.

I'm always solo, so at minimum (in order priority), I always carry a knife, food / water, an IFAK, 550 cord, magnesium fire stick, space blanket, bandanas, PLB / sat messenger, rangefinder, flashlight (with a backup windable / dynamo type), headlamp, PVS-14, lens cleaning tissue, and a lightweight padded hunting mat. Also clothing layers for the worst possible weather in the area that I'm in (including microspikes for ice) and a sidearm for protection.
If I'm out really deep in the mountains, I'll bring a good "bushcraft" tarp, extra cordage, and a bivvy sack. I've broken a leg once already and I'm often in areas where I can't get satellite reception in weird canyons / valleys with thick canopy. The idea of hypothermia with a broken limb makes the extra weight worthwhile.

A pellet pen from Walmart can help with accuracy by loading the pellet in the exact same spot. Any pellet seating device including just an Alan wrench with some tape on it would do the same job. The pellet pen is great for quick follow up shots too. Other than that just take whatever you feel you need to be safe......but if you don't have a $4000 PVS-14 night vision set up and bump helmet just forget it there's no point lol....sorry couldn't resist. Just giving you crap @mtnghost.

Toilet paper! unless you want to go freeballing or without socks...lol I carry alcohol wipes but yeah I don't want to use it on my bum.
I want to get an electric mountain bike for afield. I saw another member using one and it would make travel a lot easier and cover more gorund.
