Adapted Equipment?
Any of y'all care to share about any adapted equipment (bought or custom built) you use for hunting?
The only "adapted" equipment I use is an all-terrain wheelchair (Terra-Trek) - so far.... I am in the process of designing something to load/carry my wheelchair while I'm on my ATV, though. I'll keep you updated, if you're interested.
Also, I know of someone that's hearing-impaired looking for something to help him hear better while hunting. I'm not aware of anything that wouldn't amplify the gunblast at the same time - not a good thing. Anybody know of something that's available?

LOL Yeah, you can't see them very well, but those are some HUGE knobby tires on the rear! You should see the mud "fits" my wife has, when I come inside after some serious scouting trips...especially during "damp" weather! I just LOVE that look on her face, when she sees me coming. <img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>

I get that too chair LOL,, do they make a wider drive wheel for that chair ? and was wondering how you get your weapon out ,on your lap,? didnt see a gun or bow rack on it . hmmmmm got my head going ,iam not in a chair but thinking of ways of putting storage on them for other people , i did build a shooting house that a chair could fit in for a buddy he pulled himself up too with a pully system, he did get a few deer out of it .
with cell phones you can get the freedom and still call for some one to help drag your deer.

If anyone knows someone with vision problems in one eye and has a hard time useing a scope because of it let me know. A gunsmith I know makes a special scope base that is off-set so the good eye can be used! I have them mounted on my guns because I lost vision in my right eye and they work great...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I don't know if there's a wider drive wheel available, or not.
I usually just carry my weapon on my lap. It's quite a balancing act! ANYTHING that helps carry some equipment would be a blessing...
I'm in the process of remodeling an old farmstead chicken coop, to use for a ground blind. I know a guy that's designed & built a treestand that uses a pulley system to get me in the air. I haven't seen it yet, though it sounds promising.
