Must have items on your next backcountry hunt

[GIF]

Thought it would be fitting that I kick off this kind of thread.

Here are a few "MUST HAVES" for your next backpacking style hunt.

1) Biolite Stove: http://www.rei.com/product/846334/?...792745520&msid=4ZZ89xxH_dc|pcrid|24658619080|

This way instead of hauling extra batteries or a solar panel you can just haul more fuel! Super handy!

2)Anti shock trekking poles: http://www.rei.com/product/847814/rei-traverse-shocklight-trekking-poles-pair

No need to bang up your wrists on the way in with standard trekking poles. Without these to reduce the shock, in a few years you won't even be able to shoot a wrist style release for your bow! A certain MUST HAVE!

3) The Grid spotter:

We have micro tuneable bow sights so why not apply this to your tripod head for picking the country apart. Not need for a fluid head to run your spotter or binos! Just crank the 3 easy to use knobs every which way for smooth glassing to find that big buck in the brush!

That's all for now! You can thank me later!

No need to scratch up your tripod. Keep it protected at all times. Now just need to get one for my rifle as well.

Better yet if someone can locate some for my trekking poles to keep them scratch free that would be great as mine keep getting scratched up all the time.

I am sure one of these while hunting is the ticket. All you need is something shiny and the deer will run in.

Ok, I know this one is a little bit of a stretch on a hunting forum but hey, what if you are hunting zombies? Regardless, I would imagine a lot of this would cross over into the UL backpacking scene. I mean, just check out what all you get for a low low price of $23,999
