What is the best investment you have ever made

In your hunting life. Not the most expensive or nicest though, we all have trucks and atvs and nice guns; I mean the most essential. I cant pick one, but a couple of mine include:
A UA cold gear suit. It wicks away sweat so well, that I never get cold anymore. I dont have to layer as much eithrr
A bow hunter backpack. It has a Camelback in it, several pockets, and a big pouch that comes out from the bottomand snaps to the top . Its a felt material so its quiet and it has turned into my universal hunting bag.
A Millennium fold out chair that you strap to a tree. Killed a nice buck this year by climbing into the fork of a tree and sitting in that chair. Very comfortable, weighs a pound if that, easy to hook to tree. Great for posting up on the edge of a pasture during turkey season.
Floating gun case. No explanation needed.
I want to know some must-haves to put in my gear for next season

My stainless steel case tumbler. For reloaders it is a dream. Start-up cost is around $250 but you literally never have to change your media again. The cases come out looking brand new:

Good one. I do like my Swaro scope. Got it for 30% off too. Final answer.

Thermacell is more important than my bow when I go hunting in oct

I picked up a custom slate turkey caller made of a piece of osage wood from a guy in TN back in 2009. Cost me $40 but I really liked the caller from the get-go and named her "Ol' Yeller". I dont know how many turkeys Ol' Yeller and I have called up, but it's a bunch. Yeller is now a Merriam away from recording a Royal Slam. Years later the call maker and I are good friends and have hunted together a few times. Ol' Yeller is the best hunting purchase I've made hands down.

Thumbler's Tumbler with 3 pounds of tumbling media:
Media purchased here by the pound:

The official STM website says to use 5 pounds of media but I have been using 3 pounds for thousands of rounds and they still come out clean every time.

When I was in high school I bought a 1971 GMC 4x4 with a 4" lift, 8k lb Ramsey PTO wench, 4 brand new co-op M/T's, and a solid 350 motor for $780. Me and that truck went every where you could dream of. We had it loaded down every weekend heading to the woods. Hands down the best purchase I ever made hunting related.

What is your striker made from?
I thinking about trying to make some strikers and slate calls.
Sorry for the hijack.
To the question. Mr Heater little buddy. My kids would be miserable in the blind without it and would drastically cut down on the length of time we could hunt.
Next is my Jet Lathe. I've learned how to make duck calls and like I said am going to try my hand at a turkey call on it as well.

My favorite is the thin striker with the flared tip shown in several pics. It was turned by a fella in GA and is made of Dymondwood (a laminate similar to plywood).

This completely slipped my mind.
My dad got me and my brother lifetime licenses at age 10. So when the time rolled around, we just brought in our receipts and they mailed them to us.
