Oh man, good call! Isn't that the truth? There is a mighty big difference between "cheap" and inexpensive. But in the case of binoculars, they are synonomous.

Cheap arrows fall into this category as well I'm afraid. I will no longer purchase inexpensive arrows. They're inconsistent and not very durable.

I would have to say the biggest piece of el crappo I've purchased over the years is that tree umbrella thing. It's a total PITA to set up, and unless the rain is falling STRAIGHT down...yeah, yer gonna get wet.

Expensive hunting boots! Personally I don't think its worth spending 200.00 dollars on a pair of hunting boots. I use to all the time and it seemed they would last a year or 2 and be falling apart already orthey werenoisy as heck when in a stand. Since then I now buy the same boots I use for work and they last even better and are alot lighter in weight then any hunting boot i've bought!

Cheap hunting boots. I went out this season and picked up some late season boots that are amazing. Nothing will ruin my hunt quicker than cold feet! Not anymore!!!!!!!:)

I wasn't talking about winterboots! I spend money on mywinter boots (Ice Mans). I'm talking about early season hunting, September through October.

Fuse Satori quiver...I know they have a good reputation, but mine dropped arrows out all the time. [:@] FWIW: I used Maxima Hunter 250's and Carbon Tech Panthers in it.
