Cheap Stuff that Works

Morakniv. $17 for an incredibly good fixed blade knife that will beat the pants off most knives in the sub-$100 category.

Eddie bauer guide pants they seem to always be on sale

Don't trust those Luci's. Maybe for Glamping, but not backpacking.

I’ve used the Luci’s lights for the past 5-6 seasons and have had no issues. I do run 2 though just in case.

I've had one for 6 or 7 years that's worked perfectly. I'd never use it as my sole light source but it sure nice at camp

x3 on the Luci lights. Not a primary light but great for a camp/shelter light.

Stream light micro light. Runs off 1 AAA battery, weighs a few ounces, clips on a hat or headband and is super bright. Goes with me everyday. I think they’re like $25-$30

Did we just become best friends?

@Apollo117 Great minds think alike

Cheap stuff that works?

Savage 93R17 FV .17 HMR
Hornady 15.5gr NTX Varmint Express .17 HMR
Cabelas Kwik Stik Bipod Shooting Sticks

The rifle was $249
The cartridges can sometimes be found on sale for like 12$ for 50
The shooting sticks are $20 bucks and work well!

With this combo? You can seriously lay waste to hordes of Ground Squirrels and Rabbits with laserbeam-like accuracy. Coyotes don't like it much either.

Winchester LF 15.5gr 17HMR bullets, $8/box of 50, 🐿 killing rounds, cheaper than 22LR.

Wow 8 bucks? They just as accurate? These Hornady's are crazy accurate. Like I shot an old 12ga shell at 80yds with it just to see if I could. No Problem.

Never leave home without mine. The color has worn off mine.

I have a Marlin 795 22lr topped with the cheap Simmons scope that came with my Savage 30-06. At 50 yards, it will shoot ten shots inside a dime repeatedly (no exaggeration) with the cheap ammo. The gun cost $95 on Black Friday about ten years ago.

This is my second one, my first one was like that. More silver than black lol. I ended up losing it, never quit working unless the battery was dead

How to they fit though? I usually can't wear anything wangler because I got a big butt.

I think you'll be fine. I have a big butt and fat thighs, I wear 36" Jean's. But the 34s fit me great, I love them! But they do have the skinny jean thing going from the calves down.

If you're referring to blue shop towels, I only get one wipe per day with that stuff before abrasion begins to occur. However, I do always have a couple in my pocket for a snot rag or emergency TP...ever since the fateful day I came back to camp with 1.75 sleeves on my shirt.
Nothing worse than squatting in a downpour with your rain gear around your ankles trying to evaluate cost vs value of every item of clothing you're wearing as TP.

That's a lesson I learned when I was about 16 or 17.

Great find! This is identical to a waffle grid Under Armour fleece I've had for years and they don't make anymore. I think the UA was $70.
This is identical-thanks Brother

Sounds and looks like a great piece of kit.

1. $8.99 Ranger bands (35 ct pack) - for all sorts of storage and random uses. Also you can put them around straps / handles / etc. to add grip.

If you have an old bike tire around you can cut it up into bands that work pretty good too.

Have two in the safe, one with a cut down stock for my 8 y.o. Great little guns.

Originally bought these a few years ago to hang and store things like extension cords. Recently had a lightbulb moment that they were the answer for storing my packs when not in use. Their advertised use is for holding diaper bags on stroller handles. Cheap and they work great.
