Cheap Stuff that Works

[carsonkeys]

Been really liking this little knife that I first heard about on Tundra Talk. For $30 and 1.5 oz it’s a damn good value proposition when compared to similar weight replaceable blade knives. I’ve skinned several beavers, a few dozen ducks and grouse, and a grizzly with it so far and don’t have any complaints. Frankly, I am surprised they don’t charge more for it.

An amazing headlamp for the money! Short press takes you to last used white light, long press takes you to last used red…. Which gets ridiculously bright for a red led!

I bought this cheap Stanley pot one year and it became a staple in camp. The plastic tab for the lid melted off but a metal paper clip serves the same purpose. Toss the two green cups it comes with and add a 450ml titanium snow rock cup and it fits like a glove. We take this pot and abuse it. It goes straight into the flames of camp fires to boil water and make grouse soups. The pot alone weighs 7.8 ounces. Not bad for a $25 pot.

Thanks for sharing, I picked up two of them!

Have two of these. Great little lights and for $16 they come with a battery! I'll be buying a few more as gifts.

I've run it 3 hours without charging. That's about 2 days and just as a safety feature I recharge it then.

It's been awhile since I watched it but I think Mindful Hunter covers that in a YouTube review somewhere with some testing.

Bought 2 of the headlights. Thanks

I have not done any testing and will try to check… I did leave mine hanging on a tree on medium red as a marker for a friend yesterday… it was on for 6 hours and still plenty bright when we went back for it.

Didn't see this mentioned anywhere but maybe I missed it.

Trioxane for fire starter. Pretty cheap on ebay and at local milsurp stores. Works every time and only a tiny piece is needed for a fire. The bars weigh very little and one bar is enough for a lot of fires.

It’s probably in here somewhere but what about cheap jackets that are good for hunting?

I think you should specify a bit more. Do you want a mid-weight jacket that blocks wind, but isn't too hot for when you're hiking? Do you want a rain jacket? Do you want a puffy jacket for glassing and long sits?

Grid fleece hoodies, my go to is under armour for the fit but there are dozens of other cheap brands that should work just as well

I’m a deer hunter in north arkansas tomorrow Is opening day for rifle and it’s going to be 52 for the low and then later in the year it could be 5 when I’m hunting almost exclusively sitting in a box blind or stand in the wind.

For this scenario, I recommend a waterproof shell jacket and insulated inner jacket/liner. Something like this would be good down to about freezing:

Thin air, no cell signal—true hunters follow their prey where weekend warriors don't dare. The RedHead® Silent Stalker Elite Parka for men is ready for the task

But below freezing, you'll probably want to add a puffy jacket below the shell too, for extra warmth. There won't be a single jacket that is comfortable through that entire range.
