RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

Many will not agree, but for me it would be my leupold rx II rangefinder...i suck at estimating yardages.

Lone Wolf Alpha tree stand w climbing sticks! Simply the best piece of gear I have bought since my Bowtech! I have 2 climbers and used them once in 3 years that I've owned the Lone Wolf. Super lightweight and simple to hang!

There are several,mostly clothing related.Patagonia micro puff pullover,the lightest warmest compressible piece I have ever seen,smart wool or Ulfrotte long underwear,Enigma jacket and pants,unbelievable how soft the fabric becomes with washing,Danner Canadian boots,Icebreaker hand muff with acouple of handwarmers in it nothing will keep your hands warmer.
I still have an old Bushnell rangefinder that doesn't owe me a dime and has helped me immensely.I am sure there are others.

Bowhuntingfool opinion of best piece of equip.

I'll vote for the muff. Has saved a lot of frost bitten fingers.

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

It's a personal preferece, Aaron. I can understand how some would love the setup. For a multiple stand setup.....where a hunter would have extra straps hung on several trees....and to leave the steps up....I think it would be great.

For ME....to set it up and use it, right then....I hated it. It's just an opinion. It's a well-made product....and a lot of people love it.

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

I know Jeff, Just shows what works for some, may or may not work for others, which i dont think anybody's gonna rely on 2 posts wether there gonna buy it or not anyways... just kinda ironic.

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

THis by far is the best piece of equipment Ive even purchased. Works great, light, small and easy to carry. Easy set up. Man on man that thing has enabled me to stay out when the going was tough, pooring rain, snow, its a life saver.

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

Where you get that one at Diesel?

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

Would you like to part with these? PM me, yours is full btw
I know to keep me out but their are exceptions.:)

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

Diesel:

I have one and love it, too. Robpicked it upfor me when I hunted with him in PA. I LOVE the way I think yours attaches better than mine, though. Mine has three or four "Ribbons" that go aroun the tree. Yours looks to have one buckle.

Long story short.....lol.....Who makes the one you have pictured? It looks great.

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

I sold mine to Greg/MO.....and I think he loves them.

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

HMMM but he just bought a climber from lone wolf, I have work to do.;)

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

People might knock me for this but, the Heater Body Suit....man the thing will keep you warm on 20 degree days with 20-30 mph winds....I don't buy much anymore besides arrows, but thatHeater BodySuit is just fantastic! Keeps you from having to wear tons of layers and from having to lug in loads of clothes...best thing I have bought in 10 years.

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?

Looks like that tree umbrella is made by Hunters Specialties.....judging from the guys jacket in the picture. ;)

As for best piece....Under Armour Cold Gear bottoms and tops and Cabela's wool sweater with Wind Sheer/Stopper.

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

My rangefinder. I never go into the woods hunting without mine.

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

I agree John.

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

Good customer service from Knight rifles. Had a problem and all I had to do was box it and hand it the the shipping service they sent over. They went completely through it and returned it in excelent condition. They didn't just fix what was wrong, they went through the whole thing and fix what ever they thought needed it. What ever they thought would irritate them had the rifle been their own.[8D]

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?

Whisker Biscuit

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

A compass! I use this more then anything while bear hunting and elk hunting in unfamilar area's. Its a life saver as well, everyone should have one!

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

A rangefinder. I managed to find a Leica CRF 1200 for 250$ cheaper than from the store and it had been only used once. The guy was red/green color blind and couldn't see the display.

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

summit goliath.....awesome!

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

Equalizer Tree Stand....solid as a rock. ;)

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

Realtree EZ hanger. I never used one much in years past, but after getting more serious about bowhunting and using hang on tree stands more, it is a must. I carry two with me all the time in the woods. I know its not al to gether hunting related as I am not sure if they come in camo, but another "outdoor product" that I absolutely love is my insulated bibs made by Rocky. Waterproof and insulated all the way up, they are great for cutting wood, riding the quad, and just about everything when it's cold. For a cold weather hat, Filson's merino wool skull cap is great too.

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

Thisis my most recent addition. Got it last week. You have to be able to get to your spots!;)Great truck, but it has a drinking problem.:D:D

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

I'd like to hear more about this full-body warmer thing. Anyone have a link to a place that sells them?

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
 

Here ya go: http://www.heaterbodysuit.com/

I can't really give you a report. I bought one last year, but it wasn't cold enough for me to use it. Everyone who has used them usually raves about them, however. Good luck.

RE: What's the BEST piece of Equpt. You've bought?
