Whats the one small thing that you wan't/need for your hunting kit that you've never got around to getting! $ not $$$!
Something I can put down to sit on and not get a wet arse. Probably a bit of foam bedroll kept under the flap of my daypack would do the trick
Wednesdays off
got an unused Kuiu glassing pad if interested? pretty light and has a tab on each corner that you can clip straps through so you don't lose itQuote:

These are generally referred to as shopping bags.Quote:

A lens cloth that I can keep dry. For some reason if it is wet enough that I need to wipe the lens everything I touch is sodden.
Yeah, lens cloth or probably a lens pen is probably that thing for me.. Will get around to it eventually..Quote:

@StrikerNZ I have a spare cloth or 2, pm me and I'll send it!
I use a square of ripstop nylon. I originally had it left over from making waterproof over mittens for leather motorcycle gloves after I lost the 0riginal ones. Works a treat, water proof, wind proof and if the weather truns to crap it can be used as a bandanna to retain heat from the head.... About a metre square and weighs about the same as two hankies....Got it from here a few years back at $5 per metre....HARALDS Warehouse | HARALDS Warehouse | Christchurch, Canterbury An old school type shop. No elaborate website, but nice helpful people.Quote:

My one small thing is a decent camera......and about ten other things :D
a deer
Some way to juggle Deer pack and rifle, something along the lines of a deer carrying strap
Flashbacks to a Ureweras hunt. Day bag on my front, meat bag on my back, rifle in one hand and stag head in the other bush bashing to get out of a valley I had followed him into and wondering how I was going to make it back to camp
A few years ago a young hunter was looking for a pack frame to carry deer. He was pretty keen so I didn't mind giving him my old Macpac with an external frame I bought with 1 weeks wages when I was 15.
Something similar wouldn't go astray.
Some kind of chair and table arrangement that fits into my pocket and weighs nothing.
My FAL and a rifle...:oh noes:
I keep getting told the one small thing I always forget to take out hunting is my 6 year old.
That sounds heavy.Quote:

Take a break from the reloading, plb can not be higher on your priority list!!Quote:
