What Gear/Optics Does Everyone Use?

[Buckskin10]

I'm sure everyone is working as hard as me today...got me wondering what gear/optics everyone uses? I'm like a kid in a candy shop when it comes to hunting gear.

For example I run Swaro Binos & Spotter and a Kuiu Pack. I like Kuiu's camo but I'm also a big fan of SKRE. Just wish they had more solid options.

What do you guys use?

Walmart and Costco clothing, Kenetrek/Lowa/Zamberlan boots, Alpz backpack, Cabela's Euro guide gear binos (Meopta) and Burris spotter.

I’ve had a lot of good stuff over the years. My favorites have been a pre-64 m70 with a leopold, a pair of leica pocket 10x25’s, and some carhart camo overalls with a plastic waterproof butt. Oh, and an uncle henry folder. I drag out the K-2 frame pack when I really want to mess with the kids heads. And my ‘72 gmc to get me there.

Tough to beat Leica or Swaro’s. I switched to Leica bino-rangefinder combos a few years ago and love them. No need to carry and switch back and forth between both. It also saves time when setting up shots. Could be the difference between getting a shot or watching a critter trot over the hill.

Nightforce on top of my Cooper .300, maybe a lever Marlin in .450 when I hunt a certain area. Pre-64 M70 .338 out of respect for my uncle comes along and waits for a chance. Wranglers, cotton socks, Meindl boots, thinsulate lined skull cap, thinsulate lined jacket. And my undies. And my favorite RELH knife.
