Unusual Vest Items

[Cutt]

What are some unusual aids or tools? you carry in your vest.

Mine is a 3 inch mirror, for times a black gnat might fly in your eye. I know before carrying one, I got one in my eye I couldn't get out which worked behind my eye and ruined my hunt for the day. So now when it happens, I get the mirror out quickly and remove it before blinking, hate them things.

Explain please.  My guess if for knocking a rude hunter in the head.

Here are a few items that I guess are unusual to  some that I carry in my vest.

2 light sticks
space blanket
whistle

I've carried these items with me for many years primarily due to hunting the mountains a lot especially in my younger days. I have the space blanket which is about a 1/2"x3"x3" size in case I get hurt and I have to stay in the woods over night. The breakable light sticks for emergency lighting at night which can be seen for a long distance if someone is looking for me and the whistle because someone looking for me can hear the whistle way further than they can hear me yell. Now that I'm older I also carry an iPhone tag in my vest which will let my family find me regardless of where I am even with no phone signal or if my phone is dead due to it bounces off of any type signal that can be available.

Turkey hunting is half luck?

Oh, and I don't have a vest so there's nothing unusual in it.

I don't have any super cool answers for this but I do have a tourniquet in my vest. I guess that's about the only non hunting thing I've got in there.

I carry a cork to hold push pins and rubber bands. The rubber bands silence box calls and anything that's loose and rattling around and I use the pins to hold up camo netting.

Georgia Boy I may add a whistle to my vest.  That's a good idea if you are lost.  I haven't been lost, but I could see that happening.

That's different. although a good one, something you hope you will not need, but better safe than sorry. Never thought of that, I like the idea., good one.

In my vest, I carry a stone spearpoint from ~8,000 B.C. that I found on a turkey hunt about 25 years ago, just to remind me how hard it used to be to hunt turkeys.

Its half a horseshoe. I was turkey hunting and it was one of those dead quiet days. I was slipping around trying to find some sign or get something going when I found this. As soon as I picked it up and was looking at it a turkey gobbled. I put the horseshoe in my vest and a short time later I had a turkey to tote out as well. I have been carrying it ever since. I would love know the history behind that horseshoe as it was in the woods. Guessing its from back in the day that horses were used in the timbering industry. Probably a good thing I don't have the second half.

Tie a piece of rope to the end of your chem lights and make a buzz saw out of them. Twirl them around in front you, using bout 2 feet of Paracord. You can see it forever, that's what we used in the Army when coming back to rally point after an ambush at night. We used the infrared ones so the enemy couldn't see them but we could through our NVG. Obviously you don't have to worry about this.
