Some call this a 'Deer Cart' because it makes hauling a larger animal
through the woods much easier than dragging it or hauling it off in
pieces.
I use it to haul my stuff (a lot of stuff) into the woods, setup camp,
then I do my hunting. It will easily handle 300 pounds.

A green flashlight is great for hunting at night or even nature watching as it does NOT scare off the game like a
strong white beam will do.
I hunt wild hogs here in Florida at night (legal) and generally do so with one of my AR-15 scoped rifles.
You can see this light through the scope easily up to some 150 yards out.

If you use an AR-15of any sort you know it is important to keep it clean. One of the hardest to clean parts
is the Star Chamber leading into the barrel of the gun. These swabs make short work of that task.

This stuff works great on any firearm but especially so on a semi automatic weapon's slide (makes it slide very nicely).

These earmuffs working very nicely for range shooting as it takes the loud noise away while still able to hear
range commands and human voice.

hail, wind; If game is bedded down due to bad weather, you should
gladly hunt another day

This is an excellent electronic game
caller. I use it as my go to caller for deer, turkeys, wild boar, and
even squirrels. It is however NOT waterproof! Because here in Florida
is generally rainy I put the speaker inside a plastic bag with the
speaker pointing
towards where I wish to focus my game searches on.
The speaker IS waterproof so this method works perfectly for me.
Funny but I can use this device to call Crows in close in about 30 seconds (that is all it takes to get em in close).

This is a pretty good range finder and I use it all the time when out in the woods or at the range.
I would say it is accurate to 500 yards as I have physically
measured out
that distance using a laset transit for property lines and used this
device to check the distance as well and it was within a meter.

This is an excellent chrono. This is
something most of you will use seldom for testing various cartriges and
such. I use it sometimes in my yard testing various pellet gun rounds
on various pellet rifles I own (I use PCP rifles). Yep, it even works
on very small pellets...

This is a solid ammo crate that holds
shotgun rounds and lots more. Normally I stay away from plastic ammo
boxes as they seem cheap to me. This one is different
however and is very solid and holds a lot of ammo.

If you like me like to shoot, or hunt small game with a pellet gun, using a PCP gun (pre charged pump) IS the way to go.
They are quiet,s very accurate, and deadly on small/mid sized game. Thing is with these is putting AIR into the air chamber.
I have found using a high pressure air compressor to be invaluable in this pursuit.
I made up a video about this compressor which may help some: Air compressor how to video

These Ghillie suits hold up well and
conceal you nicely. Great for turkey hunting, or other outdoor
activities where you need to remain hidden.

If you like me like to shoot, or hunt
small game with a pellet gun, using a PCP gun (pre charged pump) IS the
way to go.
Thing is with these is putting AIR into the air chamber can be a task.
A hand pump designed for this is what you need OR an air compressor or
scuba tank are your options.
The hand pump option can easily get air into your air gun in the field
or whan camping as well as a great backup pump when scuba tank or
compressor filling is not available.

These are great tactical type cargo pants
when on maneuvers, hunting, or camping out. They also seem to repeal
water a great deal (not waterproof, but water resistant).
I have two pairs of these and wear them all the time.

This is a dual band walkie talkie (70cm/2 meter). I have 2 of these and
use them all the time. They are easy to setup and use IMHO.
These are great for hunters or campers alike.
I have put up a small series on HOW to program these radios

These are great 70cm/2 meter transcievers.
Makes a powerful base station setup, or mobile rig alike. I have one in
my Jeep, and 1 I use as a base station. You can scan both bands at the
same time,
and the radio has separate speakers for both bands so you can actively
listen into both bands at the same time.

This is a very nice night vision binocular that also can record photos/video during day or night alike.
I use them all the time even here at home to investigate night movement/noises.
I have put up a small how to and example of use video using this product.

All tents vastly overguess how many people
it will accommodate as you are going to have gear, food, water, etc you
also need to stow away. Realistically this is a 1-1/2 man tent with
that in mind.
Still, I really like this tent as my Go To tent when heading out for a
day or two for a hunt or short outdoors in the woods photo shoot. It
sets up in 60 seconds and takes back down
almost as easily.
Unlike my large Coleman tent, this one is light, small enough
to hook under my backpack attached to a Molle, and I can set it up in
60 seconds in the pouring rain.

Available in .30 cal, or .35 cal. This
is one hard hitting air rifle. In .30 cal it is more than capable of
taking out Coyote sized animals to 75 yards out and probably behond
that.
I have taken Coyote to 75 yards with this so I know. Also because it is
very quiet, I Turkey hunt with it sometimes and have had good success
with Turkeys.
Since I have one in the .30 cal version I will do a full review video (and some range tests) on this model soon..
