I will take a shot at it....
I'm hunting big mountains in the PNW so a loud call gets them coming from a long ways away.. I have three categories.

Locator-
Crystal/Brass purple heart pot
Aluminum/Slate Osage pot
*Glass/Glass Zebrawood Ping pot
Mid-
*Glass/copper ziricote pot
3.25 glass/copper ziricote pot
Green slate/Copper Ziricote pot
Endgame-
Gray slate/copper ziricote pot
Green slate/glass claro Walnut pot

These are all Sinclair pots.

Strikers two pieces dymondwood and snakewood
 Realistically I probably won't be carrying 8 pots but will probably carry 4-6.

Long Box - Watkins' Mora over Poplar
Short Box - Frank Kruer Walnut Mahogany
Crystal - Jimmy Schaffer Mad Hen 1 or Jimmy Schaffer Blue Mahoe
Aluminum - Lonzo Black Acrylic
Slate - Lonzo Green Slate in Rosewood
Ceramic - Lonzo can't remember the wood but it sounds great
Doug Herman Nail Call if I can get the hang of it before the opener.  Just got it this weekend so should be good to go.

If it is raining just some factory stuff I have had for a long time. If decent Russel Beard Longbox, Black palm slate by Chain Reaction and Mac Green Slate. They are the first 3 calls I got when I became a member here. Still learning my vest RNG-300 but maybe more if I can.

This is what I have figured out so far.

Slate- Lonnie Mabry cedar or walnut. Change up- Halloran green slate.

Ceramic- stumpy sycamore. Change up- Olin humphries cherry.

Glass/crystal- T.l Jones bronzed glass mesquite pot. Change up-  Halloran crystal mistress, double glass and perfection screamin demon 2.

Aluminum- lights out canary wood. Change up- lonzo bubinga and Jimmy Schaffer figured maple both double aluminum.

Other pots that will get rotated- Yingling spalted maple copper, Sinclair ziricote titanium, cocobolo brass and lights out tiger wood stainless steel.

Box call- Albert Paul walnut/poplar. Change up- SS calls butternut/kwila & purple heart/cedar.

Scratch box- Allen Dunfee witches fiddle. Change up- SS calls butternut/kwila and pappy black wood/maple.

Wing bone- Tony Ezolt. Change up- Ezolt cane yelper,Daryal  Gosey trumpet and Baublit black wood tube.

Still messing with mouth calls.

I didn't even list all the calls I have that I would hunt. It looks like a long list but I carry 4 pots, 6 strikers, 1 box call, 1 scratch box-, 1 air operated call at a time.

Dang. Some of you have basketball starting lineups but there’s several football sized lineups on here too. Do y’all have a Sherpa to push a wheelbarrow around the woods to haul em?

Opening day I will probably have a little bit of everything. A few pots: Lonzo glass over glass, halford glass over slate, and a strawser green slate. A few Lyman strikers to go with those. Will probably open the season with a Watkins macassar/cedar box and a couple mouth calls. The season can’t open soon enough.

Right now its looking like;

Platz cherry glass over glass
Brad Roberts cedar green slate over glass
Lonzo bullet tree bronzed glass over slate
Stumpy sycamore ceramic over glass
Watkins ebony over butternut
Watkins mora over mulberry

Not 100% on the mora over mulberry, if its not that it will be another real raspy box like ebony over persimmon or bloodwood over apple

I will probably take my Watkins coaxer call too, but I need to figure out some sort of slim case to put that in, being it will likely go in a cargo pocket on the vest.

Fiddle box snakewood over holly
Footballer sassafras green slate
Eddie wynn zebrawood glass over aluminum
Stumpy blue mahoe
Platz glass over glass zebrawood pot
Footballer chestnut gray slate over slate
Frank cox trumpet
Several diffrent strikers from j l h on here.
I always carry a stuckey macassor and a Lyman Tulipwood. Day 2 many calls will change. I change them out constantly the night before the up coming hunt. I have enough that I can have a completely different line up day in and day out through season.
