The gear fairy.

[StuckoYota99]

As the snow lines recede and trails to hunting areas start to open up I started getting out all my gear from last year.
There's things I want to upgrade for functionality or weight loss. So I started weighing out tents, tripods, backpacks. I can shave ounces and maybe pounds if I really want to with the expenditure of money.
However before I buy lighter gear to save ounces I personally need to lose 20lbs that I gained since last season.

And it's going to be way cheaper than a new tripod or tent.
Remember that the next time the gear fairy visits you.

I’m proud of myself so far this year. Needed better fitting boots otherwise all my spending has been towards work out gear.

I heard a guy say he got new & expensive clothes + had them tailored when he lost the weight he wanted as a way of keeping himself accountable. I always thought that was smart.

Yep. The cost of tailoring is pretty inexpensive. My shirts are ~$15 and pants are ~$20 (could be more or less on pants depending on what all is done).

Every year I get fatter and have to lose wieght to fit into my hunting clothes. Great motivator as it's way to expensive to buy entire new setup.

Is the gear fairy related to the Good Idea Fairy? Sisters?

I like it when the gear fairy visits my house. I just don’t have the money to support him so I only get visits once in a while.

I spent too much time with the gear fairy and turned gear queer

What is gear queer? Like you bought all Sitka gear and shoot a 6.5cm?

Hey! 7mm backcountry is the new cartridge to make fun of.

This is the only reason I'm not 300 lbs. I refuse to buy all new hunting clothes so have to fluctuate in the size ranges I already own.

i'll be saving a lot of money this year. At worst I'll pickup a used tree stand, but otherwise time and my regular tags are my only hunting expense this year
