Inducing the shits voluntarily is over complicating things IMO.
Keep that stuff up and you may be wearing a helmet (Minus NV) and toting crayons instead of a rifle.

I do plenty of walking around looking for stuff to kill, I just don't wear a pack while doing it. As for being prepared, there isn't anything I prepare for that requires more than I can carry in my pockets or walk back to the truck to get. I'm not knocking your choice of gear, I just have no need for it. Hydration? I'm seldom far from a river, stock tank, windmill, or cow trough.

Been drinking that way since before I was in elementary school. Number of times it's made me sick? zero. The majority of the water I drank until I was grown was unprocessed. I own all kinds of water preparation gear, and have used it, but I have had no reason whatsoever to scared of water in South Texas (with the exception of obviously polluted waters). If that water was going to hurt me, it'd have done so long before now.
When I moved to Austin, the first thing I noticed was that the water was pink (it's not anymore, so they've got that going for them). I'm supposed to feel safer about that?
I did fail to mention one thing I carry in my hog hunting bag (my pockets) that I didn't in the past...
My tactical oven mitt in case I need to handle the can when it's hot. Never had stuff like that as a kid....
So we're up to:
-lighter/matches
-handful of ammo
-pocket knife (sometimes a multi-tool)
-wallet (hunting license)
-phone
-oven mitt
- (optional) peanut butter crackers or a cliff bar for a snack
- toilet paper (if I'm going to be far from the truck)
many hundreds of deer, hogs, and assorted game later, still alive and kicking....
As for the gear in my truck, you could outfit a squad of folks from the shit I keep laying around in there, but that's another story.
the NV thing sounds cool though
