I often walk very long distances when I hunt, so I make sure I have enough stuff to allow me to quick set up shop overnight in the woods if I have to. Even so, I think about as high-tech as I ever get is in using my climber and cell phone. Often I don’t use the climber. I wear good boots and camo. But scent-lok stuff I’ve never tried.

Typically, I carry my bow or gun and my pack. In the pack I have stuff like bread, water/coffee, first-aid kit, flashlight, knives, steel, saw, tarp, string, rope, matches, whistle, etc. – stuff that will help me survive a day or two in the woods should I get hurt and can’t call anyone.

I have used scents (and I’ve used them correctly), but I don’t think they really work. Long ago I stopped using the store-bought variety. Sometimes I take urine from a downed doe or buck and use it during my next hunt. But I refuse to actually pay for pee.

I like gadgets, even if I don’t use them. Can’t help it. Gotta have myself some gadgets. Right now I am looking into buying one of those Heater Body Suits. I’m curious if they work well and if I can use it to literally camp a few days straight in my tree stand.
