The "Gear I love" thread - An open list for good gear

Another game changer for me, DIY Z-Aim sling. Rifle cannot fall of my shoulder under any circumstances. Easily the biggest bang for buck I've come across in hunting. Cost pennies to put together.

Here's one on my rimfire.

Very cool idea - thank you for posting. Tried it with a bit of rope and it makes a huge difference, might have to do it properly now. Nice that it works with a pack too.





Another thing to add to the list:
Wind River Fleece Lined Jeans ; LL Bean makes a similar product.
Best thing for cold weather and snow - loose cut jeans with fused fleece liner. The wind river jeans also come with a baked-in waterproofing. You can use them as snow-pants for the first year until you wash them too many times. Better than wearing thermals underneath because they allow airflow and don't get damp in cold weather... or you can add thermals as well because of the loose cut and be cold-proof down past -20*C.
Don't bother with the flannel lined ones - the flannel gets wet and cold, whereas the fleece stays warm. LL Bean jeans are the same, just don't have the waterproofing. Both seem considerably thicker denim than regular jeans.
