These rubber twist-tie's are always in my pack and/or lashing items down. I use them to keep my climbing sticks together nice and tight while walking in.

Very handy for saddle/stand hunting!

You can get them even cheaper on amazon

Those cheap foil emergency blankets are small and can save you if bad stuff happens. Can also be used as rain gear, and for signalling if you are stranded. Carry a few and you can make a lean-to.

$19 CABELAS brand shooting sticks. The kind that fold up to 12 inches or so long.. .. soft molded rubbers on tips to make a V when unfolded. Damn steady in the field. I use them over my $170 ish primos trigger sticks

Beef tubing from the butcher supply place. WAY cheaper than the game bag packs and will fit everything from squirrels to moose.


Synthetic tow and replacement winch ropes off of Amazon. Great quality and literally one quarter the price of buying locally.


TseLong bore scope 60 bucks versus Hawkeye at over $700 and it works better too.

Buddy had a cheap utility knife at elk camp with the hooked style carpet blade in it. Worked better than my outdoor edge gut hook for opening the cavity and skinning out the legs. At dollar store pricing too.

Plaid, flannel, lined jackets I bought at Bass Pro. One is brown and white another blue and white and another green and white. Warm and quiet. Beats just about any high priced camo pattern out there.

Default RELOADING, Crushed Walnut shells for tumbler

Rather than buy the tumbler media at hunting stores which I found 4lbs. For $27 plus gst. You can order Zilla Ground English Walnut Shells Desert Blend, 10-Quart Bag Large on Amazon for $18 or so. That bag is 20 lbs and lasts forever. As well as being 5 times more weight than the stuff for $27 it works great in my tumbler

This all day long!

I get a serious kick out of guys who purchase disposable blade knives.....

Utility knife...... works beauty... costs zip.
