Outdoor Gear must haves

Wanted to kick off a thread where we can share some of the things we've purchased that have significantly improved life in the outdoors. There are no rules, it can be just about anything hunting/fishing/outdoor related that you feel was an awesome purchase. If you find a good deal on something, share it. I'm always looking to improve quality of life in the outdoors.
Mine aren't anything special just a couple things I've find to be super useful.
LaCrosse Hampton $69.99
Big fan of this pair of boots. Super comfortable and very convienant. Calf/Knee high boots are only needed in certain situations. Tennis shoes/crocs are gonna get your feet wet in the boatblind/camp. So, I used to compromise and wear one or the other. Now I wear these little mini boots and I love em. Most have seen, own or passed on buying a pair of these. For you outdoor guys who don't know about them, give em a look.
Portable Jump Starter and Battery Charger
Red Fuel Portable Jump Starter and Battery Charger $43
Got one similar to this one from work, then went out and bought 2 more. One in my vehicle, the wife's vehicle, and one for the boat/camp. These things are just awesome for everyday life. If you don't have one of these portable jumper kits you really need to look into getting one. Doesn't have to be this one, but they are awesome to put in the wife/kids vehicles.

I'll play. My favorite coozie keeps your 12 oz drink cold for an hour on the boat in the summer. Fits in a standard cup holder, no disassembly required for reloads, and is $10 on amazon.
My other is my favorite bug juice. Smells pretty good if you like lemon and with any luck, might not cause you cancer... works well with MOST bugs. About $4.50 on amazon. I buy it by the dozen or so.

For the longest time I thought it was a stupid fad. But I'll never go fishing without a neck gaiter.
Posted on 9/24/17 at 9:04 pm to Athletix
A really good quality multi-tool...
Posted on 9/24/17 at 11:06 pm to Athletix
Those boots are the tits. I own a pair myself and love them. Upvoted. Thermacell is the alpha and omega of outdoor must have's.

Looking at buying a thermacell now. Can I use it for 30 minutes and turn it off, or do you have to use it for the full 4 hours? Also, once I open one of the Matt's how long are they good for?
The butane should be fine, but the repellant Matt's have me concerned.

Nah, you can use it however long you want, I think the mat is good for up to four hours of runtime. The butane tube far outlasts the mats. I've let several months go by in between uses and the mat still produces repellant.

The deer stand/duck blind must have.

Toilet paper hanger for when your in the woods and the feeling hits you.
Posted on 9/25/17 at 6:46 am to Athletix
Game changer. Great for clearing trails and shooting lanes over hangs. Super light, plenty of power and the battery will last longer than you will. Much better than a chainsaw or a machete.

What am I looking at here?
Deer dragger. I thought it was ridiculous, until I used one. They are awesome.

Thermacell has been covered enough (for good reason), so I’ll add a good flashlight. I love my bright streamlight. I’m not trying to walk around in the dark and run into a squatch.

Ah, thought that was a deer dragging device.
Throw a couple of these in your wallet and forget about the TP all together
