favourite piece of equipment?

[terrym]

We need to lighten up around here so here goes:

What do you consider your "best" piece of equipment for hunting? Doesn't matter if it's worth 2 bucks or $2K, what do you never want to be without when you head out?

May sound predictable but I tend to always have my leatherman Wave on me when hunting. I could gut a deer if needed or pull porcupine quills out of my buddy's nose with it. It also has a small saw that has cut so many limbs and pelvic bones I can't remember how many.

My Trek Sled in the winter....and my 870 for bird hunting in fall (the 870 I swap out 23" turkey used for grouse and rabbit, and put 28" for duck and goose).

I'm with you on the Leatherman Wave. But really, isn't the most important piece of gear your good old boots?

My favourite recent discovery is Buff "tubular headwear," which is great when it starts to get a little chilly. Keeps the cold air off my neck without overheating.

I have to say...what brings me the most enjoyment now when I'm out hunting is my E-Book kindle reader. I can now sit for 5-6 hrs and enjoy reading a good book while in a stand or pop-up. I used to fidget, get bored and fall asleep a lot. Now the 'book' keeps me awake and give me something to do with my hands. I believe it has greatly helped make me be a more successful hunter.

My favorites are my guns, all of them. But if you are asking about that extra piece of equipment that make things better, I'd say my GPS and compass (without them I'm lost.....).

if i had to pick just one prob my bog pod shooting sticks....nice for a steady shot but also just for resting the firearm or xbox on while waiting so its still at the ready

For me it's my toilet paper you never know when you have to go in the woods!

The tp is good. Socks and touque are a good idea. But I luv my long under wear!!

I'm with you on the boots.. I've gone out, forgotten my knife, forgotten the tp, forgotten warm mitts, even forgot ammo once.. But I have never forgotten my boots..
