Horn Hunter Main Beam XL pack.  Nice pack and very comfortable to wear.  Also my wife bought me a Cutco hunting knife at the Sportsmen's Expo at the beginning of the year.  That thing is sharp.  Cut through part of a hip bone on my black tail when quartering it.

Cabelas MT050 Guide Gortex rain gear both tops and bottoms. I hunted more days in rain this year than not, and packed meat most of those days and I was extremely happy with how the clothing performed. Kept me dry, cool, and comfortable. It was expensive but worth every penny in my mind.

Bibs or pants?  I picked up a pair of the bibs on closeout, haven't put them to the test yet!

I got the pants. I burn hot when I'm on the move, so a pair of bibs would just be to much for me. Most days I wore just the pants, or maybe had a light baselayer on under them. The day my Dad killed his bull, it rained hard literally ALL DAY. He fired his shot at 7:30 in the morning and we got the last load to the truck at 7:30 that night. I was effectively dry when we got in the truck. That day sold me.

I'm upset to see how friggin cheap it is onsale on the Cabelas.com right now though! Holy cow!

My Wazukie knife. Mine is the smaller one on the bottom, still a 4" blade. I gave the larger one to my big brother for his 60th birthday.

Hands down it was Darn Tough Socks.

Have put approximately 70 days of fire, 100 days timber, and 30 days of hunting on them (7 pair). Comfortable enough not to use a liner. Still look and feel new. Never had a pair of socks last more than one season. Could not be happier.

Buglin Bulls -conguerer mouthpiece
Merino Wool - base layers
Black Diamond - Distance Carbon Trekking poles
Black Diamon Revolt - head lamp.

I bought some other stuff over the last couple of years to lighten my load that peformed pretty well.  I have some other things in mind for this next year to further lighten the load to get back further and a couple of new coats.

And the made in the US, along with a lifetime warranty makes them my favorite as well.
