I'm looking to find some new equipment! Spring is a long ways off & it is a fun time to buy new equipment! I love to hear about some of your favorite equipment items that work for you while out in the field, be it for Turkey OR some other type of hunting or fishing. Old, new, "do it yourself" type stuff, anything that helps you out while out in the field. If you have photos, great, if not, then post up a link where we can check it out.
Here is one of mine...
The Niff-T-Seat by http://nifftseat.com/ (http://nifftseat.com/) is one of my all time favorite space savers when in comes to hunting, be it deer, turkey, or predator hunting. If you don't have one, then it is a must. Very light, compact, and the most comfortable seat I own for the outdoors. It can be made to 4 different heights in just a few short seconds. Very versatile.

Thermacell and occasionally an H.S.Strut knee rest

The knee rest, that is sweet! Might have to get one!
In lieu of the bringing the Thermacell out with me, I got a complete 3D Mosquito netting outfit last year at Cabelas. Wore it camping, hunting, and hiking! It is great Camo & bug control all at the same time.
The Ultra Light Headnetting by Peter Vacco tops off the outfit. What is great about this head netting is that you can see threw it easily. Super light. Best I've had & on the cheap too! Get them at http://www.petersheadnets.com/petersheadnets.com.html (http://www.petersheadnets.com/petersheadnets.com.html)

About the only unusual things I carry are for after the hunt...The Photo Fan & Clip-Shot.
I keep a 3 foot piece of black Pee VC in with my double bull blind. If you've ever tried to pee out the window of one of these, you will understand.

Just becareful that it does not become like a chinese thumb trap.
I use one of the straws that are used as a stem on an orange sherbert push-up as a suction yelper. Makes a great little close range call, and taste pretty good every time you need a new one.

That net looks like it would be a godsend hunting bears in Canada. Blackflies can ruin your day.

To be clear, I don't own one of these! Thought it was something that turkey hunters might bite on at the isles of Cabelas though! What do you think??

All you need is a gun strap on your vest.

Alot of times i'll just set the bottom corner of my stock in/on top of my shirt pocket(on button up type shirts)works suprisingly well if you need a free hand.That one from MAD looks like it would keep you high on your stock.
I have come up with all sorts of ways to keep it mounted. In the end, I end up moving more than I want & it is painful on the arms to try and keep it there for long periods. Something like MADs gizmo OR even their's might be worth trying...
but I'll say this, it looks kinda stiff and uncomfortable on the shoulder now doesn't it!Quote from: jakesdad on January 17, 2014, 01:58:02 PM

I second the HS Strut knee rest! And thermacell. Not too unusual, but I always have a folding saw and or hand pruners when I hunt.
If you run and gun that Mad set up would just get in the way. If a bird comes running in before your ready you gotta lift your gun up and over your shoulder. If your set up and ready before you start calling it would probably be helpful though.
