Gear dump and recommendations

[Burtwill]

As we are warming up for turkey season part of the fun for me every year is buying and trying new gear, modifying gear etc.

So, what is some of your favorite gear you carry with you every year turkey hunting whether it stays in the truck or in the vest. Even including stuff you take with you traveling for out of state

(knives, mattresses, stoves, medical kits, leather goods, slings, clothing, power tools, bags, tents, slings, binoculars, batteries, etc.)

I really like small miscellaneous/cheap stuff that makes hunting more enjoyable or efficient. Pictures and links would be cool too.

Cutters to cut limbs, help make extra cover and such.
Travel pack of wet wipes. They are good for a lot of things.
A good water bottle. One that doesn't make the crinkling noise disposable water bottles do.
Thermacell. God's gift to turkey hunters!

agreed. Carry all that too. One thing i carry and like is a small plastic fish lure container. I use it to keep my cracker or food so it doesnt get wet or crushed.

I like carrying a small pair of hand pruners along with other stuff ...

I try to get lighter every year, then I start packing my calls, lol. I am call heavy due to my " I need to be prepared" gene. Plenty od water and protein bars along with the hunting gear. Z

A couple of friends pointed out the usefulness of a range finder for turkey hunting.  Mine weighs about half of what my small binos weigh, and it doubles as a 6X monocular. 
It allows you to range a few trees or rocks when you set up to help determine where that 40 yard line is.

The range finder is a better mousetrap.... I would usually do some kind of landmark .... ie stick...rock ... what ever I had time.
But there will be a rangefinder in satchel for the upcoming season

Added a SmartCap and roof top tent to my rig, have done a few fly fishing trips with it so far this year and it has been a game changer. Looking forward to taking it to the turkey woods.

I have one of those plastic "ammo cans" from Harbor Freight that serves as my turkey tool kit and it stays in the truck the whole season. Extra ammo and a flex rod gun cleaning kit in the bottom in the tray and lid compartment is extra Thermacell pads/fluid, knife, call conditioning stuff, back up calls, flashlight/batteries, chunk of paracord. Just a bunch of miscellaneous extra stuff that I wouldn't want to be without.

Big fan of mine. Added some motion sensor lights and a roof molle panel inside to hold my table and chairs - still a couple mods I want to do but right now it is a solid setup. I use labeled plano boxes for all my different gear and it is really nice not having to dig around all over the bed when looking for something. Only negative is the people laughing when I break out my step stool because I am 5'9"...

Bug spray, clippers, rubber bands and Motrin

When ever I am hunting in an area with out no cell service, or there by myself. I carry a roll of camouflage type of duct tape. Figured it could be used to tape a splint to my ankle or leg if needed.  Or tape a bandage real tight.  It's gets thrown out of vest more often then it's iin there. But starting to force my self to carry it more and more when hunting alone, as I get older.
