Products that WORK well....

[Bowspirit]

-Woodsman Elites, or any Woodsman head for that matter.
-Surewood doug fir shafting, followed closely by premium hickory. Just can't seem to break the latter.
-Milkweed pods for wind detection
-Surplus or thrift store wool clothing
-Grabber brand warmers, of all kinds
-KME sharpeners
-Thunderhorn Mini-Boa quivers. Had a love/hate relationship with them until recently. Now it's just love.
-Wool glove liners, especially with the little rubber beads on the palms. It's like they were made for bowhunters.
-Point savers, the little strips of heat shrink tubing that 3Rivers sells. Haven't lost a Judo yet with one.
-Judo's, Ace Hex Heads, and Tarantulas
-Sandpaper of various grits. Easier to lug around than a whole mess of stones...

I really like these things:

1)  Pack a rack...I have rattled in 2 bucks with them and I have no idea what Im doing.  

2)  Lone wolf hand climber...I love this thing have harvested 5 of my 6 deer ever out of it.

3)  retractable tow rope (a few companies make one, I love mine)...Lift rope that never gets knots!

4)  Golden estrus leafs...they work, take two seconds to put up, are cost effective...my only problem is I tend to forget them at night if there is a lot of stuff going on...ie shot or something like that)

5)  Dead sled...has made dragging deer so much easier!

X2 on the deadsled-great product!

EZ climb treesteps are awesome as well

[snag]

Not very "traditional"...but man that propane Heater Buddy I bought for a recent Nov. muley hunt did the job GREAT in the tent at night!

[Mark Baker]

The Bow Tote bow sling.  It is a simple, versatile, and really effective way to carry a longbow or recurve when your hands are full.  Mine has been a great help in some of the days I've hunted this year!

• Really SHARP two-blade broadheads like: Eclipse, Zwickey, Magnus, Grizzly, GrizzlyStik, etc.

• Over the shoulder haversack for a hunting bag.
• Old Case and Marbles sheath knives. (Just can't switch to folders!  But if I had to, the Opinel would get my vote.

Deer skin or elk skin gloves are one of my most used hunting items.  I believe that they do not gather/leave scent when used for treestanding and they keep my hands warm enough to be outside my handwarmer muff long enough to make the shot in any kind of weather including -20 below.  Been using them for 15+ years.  Enough protection to use as a shooting glove as well.  Won't be without my favorite pair in my hunting jacket pocket at all times.
Cold weather gear always includes the handwarmer muff.  I nock an arrow and set the bow on my knees with the nocked arrow under the muff.  Easy to grab quickly and ready to shoot with minimal movement.
Been using Thermosole rechargeable heated foot insoles for the past 2 seasons.  When charged properly they work great in my old LaCrosse 1200 gram boots.  My feet have never been more comfortable in COLD weather.
Baffin Trapper boots and Titan boots have been added to my arsenal of cold weather apparel also.  No more cold feet which lets me stay out longer and they are tall enough to minimalize scent dispersal when walking to the whitetail stands.

Move to the top for more good things.
This is great info for making out a Christmas list.

[Jim Dahlberg]

One more I forgot to add, Stihl chainsaw raker files for sharpening broadheads.  Small enough to carry in any pack and inexpensive.  I buy them by the box.  They will work on any sharpenable broadhead made.  Get out the sewing machine and sew up a leather sleeve out of some scrap light leather that will cover the entire file and it will be protected from getting dull while riding around in the pack AND it will not scratch up anything else you may have in the pack.
