The biggest gimmick imo was the heat seeking game finder. If it did work every bow hunter in the world would own one.

The best would be my thermacell.

Best - My EZ kut (http://www.woodyhunting.com/Package-Offers.html) for $40 at a trade show.....I thought it wouldn't last me more than 2 trees of drilling. Works great for hunting on public land where you gotta carry your ladders in and out constantly when hunting a non-climber spot.

Worst- I wish I knew the name of it...a $4 grunt call. You get what you pay for...froze up every time the weather dipped below 32...replaced it with a primos buck grunt, I'm looking forward to trying the new one out.

Like a moron I bought a cough silencer years back.

What a joke.

One of the best, I don't know maybe a zip saw.

in Colorado i imagine you don't have to worry about it. Thermacell is a butane powered skeeter repellent. here in the swamps of Florida, they are a must. i keep 2 of them just in case one get's broke. here our skeeters stand flat footed and can hump a turkey (those huge black and white striped ones).
