My 5700 elite kestrel would easily be the best bit of equipment I have acquired in the last couple of years followed by the AMP annealer.

Twin Needle bino harness


Cactus Hector pack


Both awesome kiwi made items that for me blow anything else I have had away, and great companies to deal with.

The knives my brother made for me, love all 3 of them and not a bad job on the brides chef knife either.

Leupold VX3I scopes, great value for money, repeatable adjustments and good glass. Hard to beat IMO.

Wear-on-earth jacket - new waterproof one!
Replaced my last one after 17yrs, this ones going to outlast me.

Best of all, great NZ company and people to deal with!

Checked out wear on earth site and they didn’t offer any waterproof model ? Am I missing something ?

If you contact them they will make it for you. A waterproof down jacket has been something I had wanted for ages.
I added a chest pocket and had them fleece line the hand pockets also. Full customized and they’ll add/make any changes.

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.

Awesome @MB. How can I get one of these? I've been researching them. There's one similar in the states but $$$
