Gear that actually proved worth the weight

[rovik]

Curious what pieces of gear you’ve found truly worth carrying after spending time in the field. Always interested in real-world experience.

Swarovski’s

REI Flexlite camp chair. Worth the extra 1 pound when you are hunting above tree line and spending all day glassing.

2 high end trekking poles
ultra light camo rain gear

15-18x tripod binos.

 

[betelgeuse]

Doesn't weigh much, but I carry a head net and gloves. Nice for napping in field, in the middle of the day, when it is buggy out. Ever try sleeping when the blackflies are biting your hands and face ?

We have a lot of blackflies at certain times in CA. Skeeters too.

Helinox chair or similar
