My hand held thermal. It has found me so many animals that I would never have known were there without it.

I takes time and a few wrecked edges to get good on a stone. The Warthog is fantastic! Quick as hell and easy to use. Mine sits on my reloading bench and I can give a couple of passes as I pack my gear before each trip with no setting up or wasted time. The girls can sharpen the kitchen knives with no instruction or waiting for me to get around too it.

Best 160 bucks Ive spent in a while.

Best tent I’ve ever had.

I’ve managed to drop over a kilo of gear just from a couple of simple upgrades.

The standouts on my last few trips are a Neve gear down quilt. Much much warmer than the higher rated domex halo it replaced but half the weight.

Macpac nitro top. Stupid light and warm.

Couple of items come to mind, that tend to live together on the outside of my pack.

Sitting-height folding shooting sticks. (Think tent-pole style joints, release and shake to deploy)

Made impossible shots possible, more times than I can count. Perfect for tussock country, shooting up, down, or across steep hillsides.. anywhere really.

Second is cheap aliexpress fold-out sitting pad. (Widesea brand) Weighs in at a massive 48g on the kitchen scales. Don’t always take it along in summer, but if expecting to be sitting and glassing on wet, cold, snowy, or rocky ground, it’s just perfect. Also doubles as a doormat of sorts for the tent, keep your socks off the ground when adding/removing boots.
