Cheap Stuff that Works

[StuckoYota99]

I could of sworn that someone already mentioned these but if not:

I bought on Amazon on a whim and...holly crap these are bright. I loaded my stream light, surefire, fenix, and these gearlight flashlights with fresh 18650 batteries and compared them together. Honestly, I was blown away how much brighter the cheap Gearlights were. They are also surprisingly well constructed. I can't vouch for longevity or durability but at $18 a pair for flashlights that perform this well, even if they last only few years I'll have easily gotten my money's worth.

I've used several gear light products for work and I get about 4-6 months of daily use before the on/off switch fails. Definitely good for the price and if I lose it no big deal.

I have this cup as well as a three piece cutlery set. titanium stuff is super lightweight and durable and normally costs a lot more than I'm willing to spend.

Blue paper towel is much more durable than any of the white stuff and doubles as good TP that won't disintegrate in you pocket.

+1 no longer carry TP as one small square of paper towel does that trick and if it gets wet still works fine!. also, won't let fingers poke through at the wrong moment!

Great thread-- costing me a bit of money, though. All these neat, cheap items add up when you buy a bunch of them. Thanks to all for contributing.

I'll be the black sheep on this thread. I bought a pair of wrangler and Zion pants 3 years ago. Wranglers barely made it a year and I'm still wearing the Zions. I won't buy the wranglers again.

Leukotape will save a hunt if you start to get a blister.

I'll add one, the Stanley adventure camp set. 2 cups and a stainless steel pot. I love mine.

I wanted to wait and see how they did before I posted them. Turns out they work great! 1lb 13 oz out of the included bag.

Robot or human?

That’s pretty good. A bit lighter than the amazon ones for about the same price.

Surprised these haven't been posted, I won't go out into the woods during modern without these on my pack.

That's a very cool idea. 2 questions:
1: Did you have an idea or method to determine what the final product would like?
2: do you think/know if that RIT DyeMore would work on a black fleece?

Good post.
I've used the Kinco unlined gloves during the summer and the lined gloves during the winter for years. I was not aware of their all leather lined glove or their mitten. I will have to check them out.
I've always thought their lined glove (your everyday glove) was exceptionally warm...way warmer than you would guess it to be. Figure it is due to the fact that with the fabric back the glove breaths exceptionally well. Curious to see how the all leather version compares.
Again, good post.

Yeah that everyday to me is my truck, working, ski glove in the winter months.

i did not, just had to try, and figured I could dye again if they didn't turn out right.

I doubt it on black fleece unless you somehow strip the black pigment first.... worth looking into, might be an easy job, I just don't know

Energizer headlamp $10. No kidding. These things can’t be killed. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00TI8GSHY/ref=psdcmw_3180291_t1_B01B201R4E

Agreed. I have one in every pack.
